Can see song on mac but not at the spot placed on shuffle

Hi,
My son's problem is he placed a song at a
certain place on his ipod shuffle. It can be seen
when it's mounted on our mac but it's not at that
place when he's listening.
Thanks for any suggestions
Robert

I noticed that recently. I think it's a bug in iTunes (not sure when it started). I put a song (actually a podcast) first on the iPod's ordered list, as seen in iTunes. I see iTunes sync with the shuffle. When I play the shuffle in sequential play mode, it is not first. I used to do this often, so I know it worked before.
My work-around - After moving the song, click on the column header for Artist or Name (anything to change the sort order). Then, after iTunes syncs the change, click back on the left-most column header to change the sort order back to load order (the one where you can move songs around). When the iTunes updates the shuffle again, it seems to update the shuffle properly and that song will play in the correct order (on the iPod).
I wrote a bug report here,
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
so if it's the same thing I described, you may want to do the same thing, just so Apple has another report.

    Good day to you and thanks for this prompt response. Are you referring to a music app on an iphone? I have problems with an ipod.
    Hope I'm not showing off my ignorance here.

    I have the same problem described by vickgeo1981.  Just downloaded itunes 11.3.1.2 on new PC with windows 7.  Accounts are now set up ok and itunes let me download my music and new podcasts to this pc.  itunes told me I had to upgrade ipod nano software so I did that to 1.0.3 PC.  itunes shows the ipod when connected.  settings are to sync all Music and all podcasts.  sync appears to work and itunes shows the ipad contains the songs, podcasts, and playlists.  After disconnecting ipod from pc it shows no music and no podcasts.  I have tried more than 1 usb port on my pc.  I have restarted my ipod.  I have restarted my pc.  I have again reloaded my ipod software.  No change in the result.  sync appears to work.  itunes shows the content on its window of the ipod but no content on the ipod itself.

  • Can see ATV on Mac but not XP

    Hi I wonder if anyone could please help. I can see and have set up my ATV on my wireless network to sync with my Mac mini and its working with no problems. I would like to stream content from two PC's running XP that are on the network but no matter what I try I cant get the ATV to show up in iTunes. I have tried on 3 different PC's with no luck, I have tryed most of the suggestions that I could find from searching (firewall off, turn syncing on and off on ATV, reset ATV and router, reboot PC). I would be very grateful of any suggestions. Thanks in advance

    When you set up for streaming content on XP computer did you request to connect to new itunes and receive a new password number. Once you receive this number Apple TV will show up briefly for you in the device list in itunes to enter the new password. Once you have entered this number Apple TV will disappear from the device list in itunes, but will appear in apple TV enabling you to stream content from your XP machine. Did you go through this procedure?

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

    I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad ,any ideas?

    you can read here about airprint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
    which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

  • How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit?  I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

    How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit?  I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

    iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine.  Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone?  If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

  • Can see VCR in viewfinder but not in imovies

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert old footage from my vcr thru sony dcr96e into imovies. when i play the vcr i can see footage in my camcorders viefinder but not in the imovies screen. it does say ' camera connected ' in imovies so its definately recognised. i pressed import to see what would happen and it took just a snapshot of footage like a photo.
    thanks

    Hia there!
    Anoying isnt it? Your on the right track, but sometimes you need to have a tape in the videocorder. (a blank1 as you dont want to risk anything)
    then you need to sweettalk the import button press and HOLD til u see the numbers moving on imovie screen ...
    You may need to try several times I guess your teaching the pc to see somehow
    (its blind) ?

    Yes, your Mac needs to be connected to a Wi-Fi.  See this help text:  iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
    Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
    Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

  • Ipod nano, I can see it in windows but not itunes, Tried EVERYTHING!

    Please help.
    Starting a few weeks ago my six month old ipod stopped being 'seen' by itunes. I can see it on explorer no problem. I have followed all the steps in the support pages, apart from re-installing windows.
    However I have found it doesn't work on my main computer of either of my two laptops, which makes me thinks its an ipod problem NOT a computer/windows problem.
    I have a shuffle which is working fine on itunes on the same computers.
    The only thing I cannot do is restore the nano - because you need an itunes connection to do this.
    Can anyone help please?
    Ipod Nano.   Windows XP   itunes 7.02.16

    At least I'm not alone in this problem...
    I'm in the same boat. My Nano did work with iTunes 7 for a while. The only glitch was that it couldn't update the iPod's software. Since it stopped appearing in iTunes a few weeks ago I've tried everything I can think of (except sending it away) to fix the problem (restart/reset, reinstall iTunes (6 & 7), check services, format comp., change drive letter, etc...). It won't appear in iTunes on other computers either. Further I've run the iPod diagnostics and everything gets a green light. Hardware, software, me? I haven't a clue as to what the problem is. Argh.
    I like the music on my iPod but it would be nice if I could listen to something different! I'll have a chance to stop by the store it came from soon but in the mean time...does anybody out there have ideas?

  • IMac can see my Macbook Air but not my Macbook

    Recently upgraded iMac and Macbook to 10.5.8, Macbook Air running 10.5.7
    Both laptops connected to iMac via Netgear wireless router.
    All was fine until yesterday.
    Now my iMac can't see the Macbook but can see the Macbook Air when I go to Finder/Network on the iMac.
    Curiously, the Macbook and the Macbook Air can both see the iMac when I go to Finder/Network on the two laptops.
    Have unplugged the wireless router from the mains for five mins to reboot it.
    Can confirm that Security/Firewall on the Macbook is set to "Allow All Incoming Connections"
    Anyone any suggestions???

  • Help: I can see playlist in cpu, but not on ipod

    Hi:
    1.  I have a bunch of playlists on my ipod touch (current iOS) but just recently developed a problem where I can see / listen to a specific playlist via my cpu but I can't see that specific playlist on my ipod touch (even though I can see / listen to all of the other playlists on my ipod touch).     Furthermore, when I hook up the ipod touch in my car, I can scroll to that playlist and listen to it as well. 
    2.  Any solutions to this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.   Harry

    Never mind...I think I just figured it out. I have a 300 GB hard drive with a volume label of "300GB" mapped as a network drive to E: on my laptop. I was just looking through other threads and I think my laptop is getting confused between the ipod and this network drive...I'll just map it to a different letter and see if that fixes it.

  • 8gig ipod touch screen not lighting up can see if look closely but cant slide the unlock or anything either will not show up in my itunes either

    ok so i turned on my ipod but the screen stays dark if look closely at an angle you can see the screen but doesnt light up
    cannot slide the unlock slide to unlock and when plug in it doesnt come up in itunes
    and help would be greatly appreciated

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have a problem then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod is showing ont he desktop of my mac but not in the itunes side bar very annoying and itunes do not support me here in saudi arabia but happy to take my money for products

    My 120gb ipod will not synch with my itunes just keeps appearing on the desktop gett ing very frustrated as i cannot get any assistance from itunes as i am currently working and living in saudi arabia.  Tried to pay for this on one off support but funny enough they will not call me here.  They are happy to take my money but not offer any support to me I have 4 ipods 2 i phones a mac and various other apple items this is annoying seems to be a recurring problem for people but looking through forums cannot find a solution

    When you connect the iPod to the Mac, what do you see on the iPod screen?
    Is there any message from iTunes?
    Check and enable that the iTunes Alert is not switch off.
    refer to this Apple support article on alert switch.
