Can't figure out how to shuffle albums

In Settings I go to "shuffle" and select "albums", but then when I exit Settings and go to "shuffle songs", it continues to go from one random song to another, and not from album to album.
What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Once you do that setting, then go to music-->albums, find the album, (have it highlighted) and then hit play. It will shuffle that album.
The shuffle on the main menu always shuffles everything. The settings allow you to shuffle playlists, artists, albums, genres, etc.

  • Stupid Me, I can't figure out how to play a single album

    I listen to my iPod via the app on my iPhone4. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to shuffle play automatically just the songs on one album. I'll be happy to just play the songs on a single album sequentially.
    Thanks.

    You say shuffle then say sequential so not sure which you want.
    If you are stuck on shuffle it is because you tapped shuffle at some point which turned the option on.
    Go play any song. When playing and you see the album art tap center of screen on the art and another set of controls will come down.
    That set of controls has Genius, Shuffle, Repeat, Progress etc to let you toggle on and off things such as Shuffle (blue is on, white is off).
    There is also a link to the iPhone manual in your Safari bookmarks or you can Google search "iPhone Manual" to find the PDF via computer to read up on the controls of the iPod player.

  • I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • Can't figure out how to use home sharing

    Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
    I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
    If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

    The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • Help!  Can't figure out how to store the same photo in different events

    I know that this is just a user error problem, but I can't figure out how to store multiple versions of the same photo in different events. For example, I use Aperture as my main photo library, so I have a big folder set-up by year and then by events within those years to organize and maintain my library. I'm currently working on a project where I would like to pull out certain pictures for other uses. I tried creating new events and then moving the pictures to those events (like I would have in iPhoto) expecting for a new version of the picture to be deposited in the new event. That didn't work - it moved the picture out of my "main library" folder and as far as I can see it now only exists in the new event. Next, I tried creating "new versions" of the pictures I wanted to move and then just selecting those and moving them. In one folder I selected three photos, clicked "New Versions", then in the browser display I could see two of each picture (for a total of six), I selected ONE of each photo and moved those three to the new event. At which point all six disappear from the "main library" and end up in my new event. I don't understand why that happens. Currently the only way I've been able to do what I need to do is by using the flag field, but as far as I can tell there is only one of those - it's on or off that is really not serving my purpose. What do I need to do???

    Like Jim said, you most likely want Albums for what you describe. Albums simply consist of "pointers" to a single compilation of image data. Albums can be created and deleted at will, because they are just pointers; an important concept.
    Also learn to use Keywords - and unlearn "folder" organization, which is not the way digital asset management works. The power of Albums and Keywords is huge once we lose the film-think of folders organization.

  • IPhoto:  How can I sort photos within an event?  I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort.

    iPhoto:  How can I sort photos within an event.  I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.

    Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
    If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

  • Newbie can't figure out how to play one song only.

    So I just got up and running with my new iPod 80GB Video. I ripped 3 CDS of tunes to mp3's with iTunes and loaded them into the iPod and it plays but I can't figure out how to just play a single song, it always continues to the next song alphabetically. I've looked in the online manuals and couldn't find where you set "single" instead of "play all". I'm in Songs menu, not Artists or Albums. Please help.

    The iPod isn't designed to work like this, and I think the only workaround is to create a playlist with one song in it.

  • I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

    I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

    You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
    Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi.  (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)
