Cannot stop playlist shuffling

I cannot stop songs in a playlist from shuffling. I have turned it off on and off again on pc and then updated iPod. Have turned it off on the iPod itself but although there is no shuffle icon showing the songs still randomly select and will not just follow the order 1, 2, 3 etc. What have I done wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is it skipping songs and not playing them? Like going from 1 of X to 4 of X? Or is the 4th song listed as 2 of X when playing it, for example.
Have you tried resetting the iPod?

  • Shuffle no longer syncs the playlists correctly and I cannot "see" the shuffle at all.  There is no "device" folder in the left column.  This may have occured after an Apple I-Tunes software update, but I am not sure. Software or hardware??

  • IPad 2, iOS 7.0.6, cannot stop music from shuffling

    I cannot stop the Music app from shuffling songs.  I have tried the suggestions offered in related threads (such as navigating to the Now Playing screen, tapping the album cover, etc.) but those suggestions refer to buttons which do not appear on my screen.
    Thank you.

    You may ignore my question.  I installed iOS 7.1 and the songs reverted to proper order.

  • I cannot turn off shuffle on my nano 6th generation.  every play list is on shuffle and I am about to stomp on it!

    I cannot turn off shuffle on my nano 6th generation.  Every playlist is on shuffle. Have reset, have tried everything. Help?

    It needs to be dried out. Stop using it.. don't turn it on. Put it in a zip lock bag with some rice or one of those packets of dessicant for a day or two. That might do it.

  • Can't stop playlist from cycling through all entries

    I cannot stop a playlist from cycling through all entries

    Ovi Suite never worked for me, when it came to playlits. And, Nokia PC Suite 7.1.26.1 (May 2009) was the last version which contained the Nokia Music Manager. With that app, you were able to upload playlists to a Nokia with the operating system Series 40 like yours. Together with the latest USB driver, it might work with your model.
    Nevertheless, the playlists of Nokia Series 40 (.m3u) are rather simple text files (the English explanation is at the end).

  • Cannot delete playlist from Walkman

    Hi - Just got a Z1 compact and went to put my micro sd card from my old phone into the sony. Everything is fine except i cannot delete playlists from the My Playlists section of Walkman. The playlists have no content in them, i can't add content to them, and i can't delete them. How do i get rid of them???? Suspect they have to be on the SD somewhere but cannot find them by searching the name or the file type .m3u. Any idea how i find and delete these ghost playlists?? thanks in advance!  

    Hi, I'd just like you to know that havin already tried EZ File Manager and manual deletion via USB I still couldn't delete certain non-working tracks from the Walkman app, and although I thought your advice seemed potentially dangerous, I tried it as you're a moderator so I trusted it was some 'combination' that was safe. Anyway, long story short I wiped all the media on my phone and SD, of which there was plenty, amassed over a lot of time (the music in particular). If I can't retrieve backups of the music, I'll be very angry with you. (The photos and videos were mostly backed up recently). I don't know if this was some weird, cruel joke for frustrated clueless phone users (not thinking straight late at night, in my case) but if it was, you've caused me to delete everything, and I hope you're happy with yourself. -Feargal

  • Cannot stop Adobe Message coming up

    Hello
    I keep getting a message coming up on my screen from Adobe Flash Player and I cannot stop it !
    The message is as follows:
    A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer.
    This program will open outside of protected mode.  Internet Exporer protected mode helps protect your computer.
    If you do not trust this website, do not open this program

    Adobe Systems Incorporated
    It doesn't matter whether I press yes allow or do not allow - it still keeps coming up - I have had this problem for a few weeks now and I have run my Anti Virus software and Malware etc, but to no joy - it still keeps coming up.
    I don't think  that it is coming from yourselves - I think it is a virus?
    My operating system is Windows 7 64 bit
    And I use Internet Explorer
    Can anyone please help me get rid of it?
    I have done a screen print if there is anyway I can send you it?
    Thank you and kind regards

    Hi - thanks for your reply.  I looked at my 'protected mode' to see if it was enabled in IE's Internet Options and it was already 'checked'
    I have been trying to post my screenshot by clicking the camera icon in this toolbar, but when I browse my documents and click on insert image - a message comes up saying 'the content type of this image is not allowed' !
    It is a WordDoc2007 (*docx) or a .wps extension which is a Microsoft Works document and no matter which image I try to 'insert' - the message is still the same.
    I am desperate now because no matter what website I go on - your message comes up - and everytime the website is loading it comes up quite a few times when a page is loading.  Even while I've been doing this reply to you - everytime I click on a link to take me somewhere on the site - it comes up! 
    Perhaps if I can send you the screenshot by email - it may work?  At least then you would be able to see the screenshot?
    I have just thought about sending you the screenshot as a picture, but I don't have 'Paint' - any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thank you and kind regards

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • Playlist shuffle problems

    I'm having issues with playlist shuffling on my iPhone 4, and the only discussion I found with the same problem remained unanswered.  I have a playlist of various classical music that I want to shuffle randomly, and it won't.  If I play it in order, all 53 songs will play and can repeat in order.  If I select "Shuffle" from the list of songs, or if I hit the blue "shuffle" icon on the cover art, it changes from "1 of 53" to either "1 of 8" or "1 of 9" (depending on which song happens to be playing).  The smaller groups don't seem to be based by artist or by album, but I can't get it to shuffle all 53 songs. I tried making a smart playlist by genre, and I tried making the playlist manually.  Nothing seems to work.  I have another mixed playlist with various artists and multiple albums, and it functions normally: I can get it to shuffle randomly through all 51 songs across albums and artists no problem.  There must be some property of the music files or the playlists that I'm missing that's causing this bug, but I'm at my wit's end.  Any suggestions?

    Do all the songs in your playlist have a check in the box to the left of each song's name?  Songs without a check will be ignored unless specifically selected to play. If you don't see the checkboxes, go to iTunes > Preferences > General and check "Show list checkboxes".
    To check or uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.  You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.
    If the check marks are not the source of your problem, select one of the songs that won't play when shuffling. Open the song's information window (cmd + I or File > Get Info) and click the Options tab. Check that "Skip when shuiffling" is not checked.

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists

    After upgrading iTunes software, I cannot import playlists.  Help!

    To be more clear:
    1.  My music and my playlists are on an external drive.  My playlists are saved as .m3u files.
    2.  Everything was working perfectly before the iTunes upgrade yesterday.  But now when I use the iTunes "File/Library/Import Playlist" feature, the playlist that is imported is EMPTY.
    3.  I can open the .m3u file and see that it contains the songs with their full path.  So the .m3u file contains the correct information, it is just not importing into iTunes like it used to.
    4.  Apparenty when iTunes upgraded, it changed some setting and now everything is out of sync.
    I am so stumped.
