Cannot turn off shuffle feature of iTunes on iPad mini

Can anyone please tell me how to turn off the shuffle feature in iTunes? I don't know how it turned itself on, but seems to have appeared after the latest operating system update. The word "shuffle" is in red font and only toggles between "shuffle" and "shuffle all". The crossed arrows are grey and don't respond to any stimulus. Thank you.

There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.

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.

How do I turn off the feature in iTunes that automatically starts up iTunes when I press the mic button on my headphones?

Okay, so I guess the mic button in my headphones is broken and so it acts like I have pressed it even though I have not. So everytime I have my head phones plugged in itunes shows up and everytime I try close out or pause iTunes, it just starts right back up again and I have to do this constantly. My temporary solution was to just turn my iTunes volume all the way down but it still pops up with notifications that says a song is playing. It is gettin annoying because I cannot watch Netflix or anything else without getting itunes pop ups. I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the feature?

The mic button is probably sending a signal (or command) that works like a keyboard shortcut to open the app.
System Preferences>Keyboard - under the Shortcuts tab, clear ANY iTunes shortcuts that appear in the list.

How can i turn off the shutter sound on my ipad mini 3 16gb space gray

HI guys how do i turn the shutter sound off? I have toggled the mute button but the shutter sound is still present , can someon pls help?

There's no option for this sound toggle in the US under "Sounds" on either the iPad or the iPhone. To disable the shutter sound, you need to mute the device. If yours does not mute even with the mute toggle, it's likely permanently enabled in your particular locale as King_Penguin mentioned.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

Can't turn off shuffle for iTunes 11.1.5

Since iTunes upgraded, to 11.1.5, the I can't turn off shuffle. But, it only shuffles through some of my songs and artists so I hear them A LOT and other artists I don't hear at all. It's VERY annoying. The settings show that shuffle is off, but it still shuffles (still among a limited list). This appears to be a bug.

By Plays... That's interesting. I don't think I've listened to songs in that order before. Good idea. I just tried it on my Mac (latest version of Mavericks and iTunes), and it seems to work as expected, for the play order.
There is a recent new feature called Up Next. It is a song list that you can see by clicking on a symbol that looks like three lines with a dot to the left of each line; it is at the right side of the box that shows the song's info at the top of the iTunes window. It's a song list that you can add to, like a temp playlist, with songs you want to hear "next" in order (by dragging songs to the Up Next symbol). If you are just playing from a list, like your library list or playlist, the Up Next list should just show songs on the song list in order.
Does it show the expected song list order, or the oddly shuffled order? If it's the oddly shuffled list, click the button to Clear the list (at the top of the list). Then, restart playing from your song list by double clicking on a song. Does that make any difference for this problem?

Turning Off Shuffle in Itunes 11

Dont even get me started on how bad ITunes 11 is!
Does anyone know how to turn off shuffle?
Clicking the usual shuffle sign does nothing but change the song.
My ITunes NEVER plays in order and always skips to a random song!!
Help!!!!!

What exactly do you do to create a sound in iTunes?

HT1212 iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

No. I would never take an iPhone to anyone other than Apple unless there was no alternative. You can get the display replaced on an iPhone 5 at most Apple stores for $149. If there's more damage, it will cost $229 for a full replacement. Both prices assuming you don't have AppleCare+.
As I said, taking it elsewhere forfeits your ability to ever get it serviced by Apple. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All the parts you will find are either salvaged from damaged phones or counterfeit.
If the phone is at all functional, you may be able to plug it into a computer and extract the photos and videos from the camera roll.

I cannot turn off DEP for iTunes. Any suggestions?

I am a real novice and cannot understand why I cannot turn off DEP for iTunes. Any suggestions? PC-based.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Double tap the home button as usual, but swipe them up to delete them instead.

Do you mean you music continues to play when you quit iTunes? Then iTunes is not playing music.
There is no "default music".

Can't turn off shuffle (FIXED)

So like many of you, I could not get iTunes for windows 10.1 out of shuffle mode, so I upgraded to 10.2.1.1 and::::: same friggin problem and I don't have to tell you what a deal-breaker it is when you can't tell the program how to sequence the playing of your music! Apparently this has been a known problem since 2007, sheesh you would think the kind folks at apple software development would ensure functionality of basic features. Maybe Apple is tired of supporting PCs and want to drive use to GTKPOD or Songbird - I don't know, but before you PC users give up on iTunes forever try this, it worked for me and was relatively painless.
One disclaimer - My library was stored an external drive, I would be sure when you do this that you have secured your library!
Go into the control panel, programs and remove itunes from the machine
Reboot
Download the newest version of iTunes
Go do something else for 40 minutes
Come back and Viola! your new version should allow you to turn off (and back on and back off again) the shuffle function using the button in the lower left corner of the screen.
I didn't even have to re-create the media folder settings or import my library list. Apparently those reference files were not affected by removing iTunes from the machine.
My uneducated guess is that having shuffle turned on when updating iTunes is the root cause of the problem of not being able to turn off shuffle must be that the update is referencing the shuffle setting in an attempt to present the new program in the exact same state (shuffle turned on) as the old version, whereas a "clean" install does not; but I'm a chemist not a computer scientist. In any case, you can regain control of iTunes. Happy tuning.

I tried it...didn't work. My songs are all still permanently shuffled. I get so angry at Apple for this kind of thing. Do they test their **** software? I also just discovered dozens of CDs that I had thought imported correctly actually have file sizes of under 25KB, and iTunes shows their length as either "continuous" or three or four seconds. **** it, Apple, if you don't properly import a CD ***TELL ME ABOUT IT***...don't pretend that everything is hunky-dorey.
I should add...I have the songs stored on a HP MediaSmart (Windows Home) Server. When I access the library using the Windows version of iTunes, I have the problem. If I access it using the Mac version of iTunes, the shuffle works correctly (i.e. it can be turned off.)

Shuffle feature on iTunes

The "shuffle" feature on iTunes was stopped operating, including on the Party Shuffle playlist.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

o matter what playlist I want placed in the Party Shuffle's "Source", it always defaults to the Music section, at the top, under the Library.
Not sure what you mean.
If you select *Party Shuffle*, then select a playlist as the Source, iTunes goes back to Music under Library and does not display the Party Shuffle any more?
In addition, when I check "Shuffle" under the "Control" tab
What "Control" tab?
for any playlist, it won't "shuffule the shuffle" if I highlight the "number" column on the far left. Is this normal? If any other column is highlighted, the shuffle control works.
If you are sorting on the very first column, the songs are displayed in the order they are shuffled and will play in that order. If you turn shuffle on and off, you will see the songs change the order in which they are displayed (they get shuffled)
If you select any other column, the songs are sorted by that column but will play shuffled so the playlist jumps around.

How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
"FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan
RAFAEL

It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers. So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.
