Can't rate podcasts to order playback on iPod shuffle 4th generation

I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation with VoiceOver and listen to many podcasts. I like to use the rating system (5 stars, 4 stars, etc.) to order the playback.
This has worked well on my iPod shuffle 2nd generation, but the Rating column does not respond when I add podcasts to the Podcast section on my 4th generation iPod shuffle.

Hello, klmc29,
I would check out this Apple support document on how to delete music from your iPod. It sounds like you are trying to delete music as if you had your iPod shuffle set up to manually sync, but in actuality, your iPod shuffle is set to sync automatically, which requires a different method for deleting music from your iPod.

Hope this helps.

  • Someone who can help me please. I have a Ipod Shuffle 4th generation and it gives me a red light and i cant use it. What i have to do?

    It give me red light for 3 seconds and Itunes and my computer dont reconize my ipod and i dont know what to do

    Did this shuffle previously work with this computer, and does not now for some reason?  Or is this the first time you are using this shuffle with this computer?
    If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter, so that it is not running on battery power.
    As as test, shut down (power off) the computer, and disconnect all USB devices (you can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected if used).  Do this to Reset the shuffle

    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself.

    I am a new iPod shuffle 4th Generation user and I cannot sync the music in my Windows Media play to my new iPod, can someone help?

    Hi Daisymae3,
    The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
    User Manual iPod shuffle

    Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
    iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
    on iPod shuffle.

  • How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

    Hi! How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

    Hi pce55,
    If you have questions about iPods and sound or decibel output, you may find the following pages helpful:
    Apple - Sound and Hearing
    Q. How can I set the Volume Limit on my iPod to a specific decibel level?
    A. The Volume Limit setting lets you change the maximum output of your iPod’s headphone jack. The actual sound pressure level that you experience depends on several factors: the music you’re listening to, how it was recorded and encoded, the type of earbuds or headphones you use, and their placement in your ears.

  • Can't listen to iPod Shuffle 4th Generation in car with car stereo. Help!

    I do not have a USB or cassette player in my car. My car is MP3 compatible. What can I do or buy so that I can listen to my iPod Shuffle 4th Gen. in my car through the stereo system and not the headphones?

    You could check with a shop in your area to see if one can be added or you can try one of the FM transmitters. If you are in a rural area you might have some success, if you are near Atlanta I wouldn't bother.

  • The Ipod Nano has a radio app, where can I find a similar app for my Ipod touch 4th generation?

    I"m looking for an FM radio tuner, like the Radio tuner on the Ipod Nano. 

    The iPod name has a built-in RM radio receiver. The iPod touches do not. You can get an app that will get many radio stations but that is streamed and you need.a wifi connection to the internet. One app is iHeart Radio
    You can Google and see if there are any FM radio receiver still available. They were available in the past. Google for:

  • Can Apple fix my charger port on my iPod touch 4th generation with out deleting the data I have on it (pictures , games and such)

    I Guess this would apply to the term accessory but can you fix it without deleting data

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. Also, Apple does not preserve or transfer the data
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. They say they try to preserve data
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens         
    Can you or do yo have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPod? The backup included apps data and photos/videos in your Camera Roll album.
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • I can not open the "update" tab on my ipod touch 4th generation but can open all the other tabs on the appstore. Help?

    Forgot to mention, my ipod is NOT jailbroken.

    Try reset. Nothing is 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.

  • How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

    I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
    Select your shuffle in iTunes.  There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary). 
    Click on Music there.  This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.  Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing.  Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
    Click on the Podcasts tab next.  This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle.  Sync Podcasts is checkmarked.  Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
    When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
    When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list.  To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
    This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
    You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist.  If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists.  You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu.  To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position.  The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

  • HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):
