Can't Turn Of "shake to shuffle"!!!! iTouch 2G iOS 4.2.1

I feel I have a very unique problem, I can't turn off the Shake to Shuffle mode (I'm going to call it S2S.) Before you say it, I know HOW to turn it off, but it won't actually let me. Actually, I can't change any of the settings in the "music" tab under settings. I change it and play around with other settings, then check back before exiting the settings app and it's the way I set it up. However, after I exit out of the settings and then immediately go back in, everything under the "music" tab is set back to default.
I've tried everything short of a full restore, simply because I JUST put my music on and I don't wanna go through that again! lol I've done the power+home button reset several times and tried to see if there were software updates, etc. Nothings worked!
Usually wouldn't be a big deal, but it always shuffles during my favorite songs. Also, the music player has been randomly stopping in the middle of a song. Not pausing, but stopping, as in there is no "now playing" but it happens on something like song 50 out of 1500, so its not like it was the end of the album...
Any help for either problem?

had to reset it and set up as new ipod. lost music, but it works fine now.

  • HT4623 I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended.

    I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended. I can't access apple support and chat b/c I can't access my serial number as I can't get on my phone. I can't call them for the same **** reason. Holding down the on button(s) as per google does not work. Itunes says my phone is in "recovery" and needs to be "restored". I don't know what this means. Very frustrated. Please help. I need my stupid phone. On the verge of beginning to hate apple...

    It's hard to tell what went wrong.  Some possibilities:
    1.  Your iPhone did not have enough free space.  Once it works, check Settings > General > Usage
    2.  There was an issue with your internet connection so the update did not download properly.
    3.  One of the many update steps got interrupted somehow

  • Can;t get the 'Shake to Shuffle' feature to work

    I bought a new 16gig blue ipod nano yesterday and its all going good except for two things.
    Firstly- I cant get the 'Shake to Shuffle' feature to work. I will shake my ipod around like mad when im in shuffle mode but nothing happens!
    and Secondly- I cant get the genius to work on my ipod. When im playing a song I hold down the middle button and 'Add to On The Go, Browse Album, Browse Artist and Cancel' all come up but no genius! I do not have an itunes account because I do not have a Credit Card so i cant work it on my itunes either- is that why it wont work on my ipod?
    If some would could please help me out it would be much appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    1) Make sure Shake-to-shuffle is turned on in the Settings option of the iPod.
    2) Genius won't work if you haven't activated it in iTunes. You don't have to give a credit card to get an account, a debit will do just fine.
    In any case, here's a link to create an account without providing bank card details:

  • I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on. its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4

    "I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
    Pls help m out.
    thanks

    Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
    If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable.  Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button.  Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
    When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

  • I can't get my 6th gen nano to stop shuffling songs in a playlist.  I turned off "Shake to Shuffle", to no avail. Extra annoying when the playlist is an audio-book. Can anyone advise?

    Many of my playlists are audiobooks that I have borrowed from the library on CD and downloaded, not the ebook type. It is, of course, extremely annoying to have the tracks shuffled.  Is this something I am doing, or a problem with my nano?  I do have the latest version of iTunes.

    I finally exported my music to a DVD and moved it to another computer that I just bought. When I plugged in the Nano, I tried restoring the settings again. Even though I had just restored a few days before that and updated the Nano software on the other computer, it told me new software was available for the Nano! So it went thru the restore process and I loaded the music again. Same problem with the unwanted shuffling. When I checked some of the songs, shuffle was ON. I turned it off on a couple of songs, and now it's back to normal. No shuffling. Go figure.

  • How can I turn off shake stabiliser so it isn't on automatically

    It seems that i ticked a box so that all my video projects have shake stabiliser turned on as standard. I have since found that it slows things down, and also crops video clips which i don't want.
    So far i cannot find out how to turn it off for all future projects, allowing me to just use it on particularly bad clips.
    Can anyone advise me how to do it?
    Thank you in anticipation

    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet? If not, please do so.
    From your description of the problem, I think that you are pointing to the wrong parties when you use the terms Shake Stabilizer and crop videos. But, let us explore this.
    I believe that you are referring to the AutoAnalzyer which is not the Shake Stabilizer. When on, you are likely to find your videos cut and the trims from the cutting stacked. If that is the case, then disable the AutoAnalzyer and its options. To do that, go to the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 workspace, Edit Menu/Preferences/Media-Analysis and uncheck (disable) the AutoAnalyzer and its options there.
    Please let us know if the above targeted your problem.
    Thank you.

  • Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

    After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
    Thanks in advance.

    WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
    They are not connected.
    Mute and rotation lock are independent.  However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.
    I wrote:

    Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
    The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
    Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

  • How can I turn off text auto-correct in Number IOS?

    I use Numbers as a project workbook and it drives me insane I cant turn off text auto-correct. I use a bunch of abbreviations that Numbers wont allow without constantly changing to the extent that its almost useless.

    Auto correct is controlled at the system, not apps, level (with a few possible exceptions, but Numbers isn't one of them).

  • Shake to shuffle plays automatically

    if the current song you're listening to is paused and you "shake to shuffle" it auto plays the shuffled song
    the real issue is that when you put it down IE dropping it on the table or such, it will begin playing with out you knowing, likely draining battery while not in use

    You can turn off shake-to-shuffle under Settings.

  • When I enable shake to shuffle and shake my ipod (5th gen) nothing happens.

    When I turn on shake to shuffle and then shake my ipod, nothing happens

    Is a playlist of songs playing when you shake?
    After shaking are you waiting for the playing song to end to hear what is playing next?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
