Can't I randomly fill my iPod with music anymore?

I have far more music than I could fit on my iPod Touch. I used to be able to randomly fill it with music chosen by the pod itself, and limit the amount space for music. With OS4, those options seem to be gone...? I now have to select artists, playlists, whatever. Or am I missing something?

I figured out how to do this myself. First time I ever used a smart playlist. I just created a smart playlist and limited it to 20gb, chosen at random. You used to be able to achieve the same results in OS3 without having to do this.

    My iphone 5 fell down from the table and now I can't touch screen or do anything with it anymore. I send it to Istudio in Thailand and they said it is non authorized so they will not fix for me. I search google and they said that my LCD has problem but people in here said the chip inside my phone have problem??? Please tell me what I need to do. And if I have to change the new, how can I know it is new or fake? Could you give me the price of it please? I'm not Thai people. I study in here so I dont know where to fix it. Please recommend me any truthly store in there if you know. Thank you so much!!!

    You will need to wait for Apple to rectify the issue. Do not make changes at your end.

  • Does the "Fill free space with music" not work like it did before?

    Before updating my iphone 4 to iOS5, the fill free space with music seemed to rotate in and out music and also provided space to add more pictures, podcasts, etc.  Now it just seems to fill the phone to the max on the first sync and just leave what it put on there in place.  If I try to add something like a folder of pictures it will only add a few of the pictures because there is no room.  Before I think it freed up room by deleting some of the "free space" music.  I'd like to go back to that.  I really don't want have to had select every song I put on the iPhone when I have more music than my phone will hold.

    Also, how does it decide what to add to the iPhone?

  • Can I have more than one ipod with more than  music library on one computer

    I was just wondering if i could have 2 different ipods (one a 5th generation and the other ipod touch) with 2 different music libraries on the same computer and itunes? because right now im using my parents computer and my fiance is using my laptop and we're moving so we'll only have one computer in the next few weeks. So if anyone could try to give me an answer or have a solution that would be fantastic lol!

    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
    Multiple iPod installations.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
    If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
    This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

  • Can I use more than one iPod with one computer?

    Howdy,
    I have a (hopefully) quick question. Can I use two iPods with one user account on one computer? Can iTunes keep two different iPods separate with different syncing rules for the same user account and iTunes library? I'm interested in the answer for both Mac and Windows machines.
    Thanks!

    You can use more than on iPod on one computer, and you can also use one iPod on more than one computer. Check out these articles:

  • How can i manually remove songs from Ipod with itunes 11?  Please Help

    I am trying to remove a single song from my kids Ipod 5th gen ipod with itunes 11.0.1.2. With older versions of itunes i was able to right click on the content that i wanted to remove and select delete.  I for the life of me can not figure out how to remove content with itunes 11.  i have a lot of apple devices , iphone,ipad,ipod touch, and so on and so on. I am so frusterated that i feel like thowing it all in the garbage and starting over with another product.   

    Everything works the same in iTunes 11 as in previous versions.

  • Can i buy an iphone or ipod with a credit money from alot of gift cards?

    Can i buy an iphone or ipod without a credit card because i have money as credit in my apple account from gift cards so i wonder if i can buy anything beside apps,music....etc ?

    You can buy whatever the itunes store sells - music, apps, movies, tv shows.

  • EX-CD tracks get randomly bumped from Ipod with lots of open memory. Why?

    Okay, got a 4GB mini. 209 songs on it, many from Music Store, most from CDs -- right about 1GB used. The Music store's are protected AAC, the CD tunes plain AAC. Problem is, there are closer to 280 songs in the library. If you add tunes to the library and try to update the Mini, it randomly bumps CD tunes (not Music Store ones), and stays right at about 207-213 tunes on the Ipod, even while showing the new aditions in the library. Have the latest Itunes and ipod updates. Doesn't make any difference. Anybody got any ideas?

    Um, offhand I think I'd try converting those files into an Audiobook.
    Audiobooks have a lot of advantages over simple audio files, and it is no more effort to do them.

  • My autofill button/option for filling available space with music is missing

    Hey, all. I'm using the new iTunes 11. I back up to the cloud and I'm also using iMatch. At some point in the past I used the Autofill option to max out my storage space with music. Today I backed up my phone(a 4S) and restored it, then did a sync. Now I have no music and there is no autofill button at the bottom of the device screen. When I go to the Music tab, it says iMatch is on and songs can be downloaded and played via wifi. I tried shutting off iMatch, but that didn't seem to bring the option back to use Autofill. Any hints? Thanks.

    I am in exactly the same boat with iPhoto. The historical music selection in the export/quicktime; inability to choose a song (vs. an album) although I've tried making a song album with just the one song I want. I've tried every suggestion other than converting my songs to MP3 and nothing works.
    We should all sue Apple under UCC since the fitness for use clause is not met. Makes me really angry as it was fine in prior versions and now something that use to take a minutes has taken several hours with no solution in sight.
    I am not upgrading to iPhoto 6. We're supposed to pay more on the hopes that maybe it'll be fixed? What a waste of money as the big feature in iPhoto was the make a reasonable sized QT movie to send some photos to friends. The computer isn't my life; I have no urge to spend hours reformatting songs, using iMovie, etc. I want to do the electronic equivalent of showing a stack of paper prints to a friend... you know, make my life easier, not harder

  • I have three different ipods with music on them and have had to replace our computer as it was in a fire. How can we combine the ipods into one ipod.

    We had to replace our computer due to a fire and lost many of the fiels which were on them. Many were music files for the ipods, we have thre. Also, do not have ID's and passwords to the iTunes store.
    How can we combine the information so that they are all in each one or at least compbine everything into one ipod?

    Just so you know the method suggested by Nelsonleee will cost your $29.95 USD, Yamipod is free.

  • Can you use more than one ipod with just one itunes?

    Just wondering if it's ok to use 2 ipods from the same itunes?
    Me and the wife have been sharing an ipod, but we've got one each now, so can we both just use the same itunes?

    You bet---just be sure that each iPod has a unique name. typically they have Your Name's iPod, but you can have any name you like, just type it in when you connect it.
    If you want to have different music on each iPod, then make a playlist of your own music and then open the Music tab when you connect your iPod and select the "synchronize playlist" (or something like that) instead of synchronizing the entire library. You'll see what I mean when you open the tab, it's pretty self-explanatory.
    I have four iPods of various generations that I keep synched on the same computer.

  • Can you play TV show playlists in random continuous order like with music ?

    I think I might be just missing something but when I create a playlist for TV shows and set it to play in random order the list is altered to a random order but if I play a video the player shuts off after ever selected episode and I have to reselect another video to play and then again it shuts off after the video is over. Seem to me if that all you can do then why would it list them in random order I can just select any video in random order if I have reselect ever video. But I'm guessing that I just missing something.

    That seems to do the trick.
    They aren't checked to skip but if I check the bax and say 'no' to not skip then it works Thanks.

  • Why i can't make trailers in my iPod with iMovie 1.3

    If your camera is working using other apps such as Facetime, then it would seem that the problem lies with Facebook. I've never used any sort of Facebook chat so I know nothing about it, but whatever app you use for Facebook chatting doesn't recognize the camera or is not set up properly.
