Crossfade on shuffle or Genius only?

Hello,
I like crossfade when playing a mixed playlist, shuffle, or Genius, but I don't like it much when playing a single album, regardless of whether or not the album is "gapless." Is there some combination of options that will accomplish this without manually turning crossfade on and off? I mostly use iPhone/iPad remote to start music, and there's no crossfade controls on that.
Thanks.

Turn repeat off.
This is covered in the manual.
Play the song. Tap the screen. Tap the repeat icon until it white = off.

Genius only works on some songs? WHy - there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Decemberists yes, Lana del Rey no. Ideas?

Is there a batch process that runs in the evening? Perhaps that ends up cleaning out the data from the buffer cache, turning logical I/O's into physical I/O's early in the morning.
Can you check the statistics on the table before the process starts and after you re-gather statistics? Perhaps there is a nightly process that is altering the statistics at an unfortunate time or in an unfortunate way.
The previous poster's comment about getting a trace file is excellent as well-- whatever your session is waiting on will be apparent in the trace.

HT4310 I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal or do I need to change something with the settings?

I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal?

It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out. If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

ITunes Genius Only Doing Checked Songs

Is there a way to use the Genius feature on my entire library without checking all the songs? I have way too many songs and I only have 4 gigs of them checked for my iPhone so that I can update it easily, but I like listening to all the others when I'm at home and not using my iPhone. I want to have Genius results of all the songs, is there a way to do that?

Some formatting has been lost from my older post. Perhaps this simplified version will help::
Make the following playlists:-
Unchecked - Smart Playlist with the rules Playlist is Music and Checked is false.
Exclude - Normal playlist - once created drag the contents of Unchecked into it - this records all your currently unchecked items.
Sync - Smart Playlist with the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude. You could also add a Limit to X Gb selected by most recently added to make sure it can't grow too large for the space on your device that you want to allow for music.
You can now throw away the first playlist and check your entire library (control click an unchecked box). Change your iDevice sync rules to sync with the Sync playlist. New music will always be included. Older stuff will come off if your sync list grows too large. Drag stuff you know you don't need onto the Exclude list and other stuff can pop back into Sync to fill the available space.
You can then shuffle everything, except anything you later decide to uncheck or set as Exclude from Shuffle. What gets synced is everything except the music you deliberately choose to exclude by thowing it into the Exclude playlist. It will take a few minutes to set up the playlists and change your sync options, after which it is almost as easy to maintain as the checkbox method, and a lot harder to accidentally lose all your selections, plus you get to shuffle what you want.

Ipod shuffle 4th gen only syncs first time connected

My ipod shuffle wont sync, charge, or be recognized by my computer! I'm on a late 2006 Macbook pro with all current software. (itunes 10.1.2 and mac os 10.6.6)
I just bought my ipod shuffle 4th generation and am having difficulties syncing it. The first time I plugged it in it showed up in finder, showed up in itunes, the little orange light on the ipod went on, and I successfully put some of my music onto it.
A day later when I plugged it in to put some more music on it my computer did not recognize it at all: it didnt show up in finder, it didnt show up in itunes, and the orange light didnt come on. I have checked and done the following things: made sure it's plugged in all of the way, tried other usb ports, unplugged other usb devices, restarted itunes, reinstalled itunes, and restarted my computer but nothing has worked so far. I then, to see if it was the cable that was not working, plugged it into my dads windows 7 laptop. It was recognized by windows and itunes that first time but the second time I plugged it in neither windows or itunes recognized it and the ipod's orange light didnt come on.
Whats up with this? What should I try next? I feel like this may be an issue with the ipod itself but does anyone have any ideas of things I could try on my mbp to see if it will sync?

When you say "hot beyond limits? do you mean that the iPod's screen showed the overheating warning?
Durring charging, the iPod can get quite warm. If you have a concern I would make an appoinment t the Genius Bar of an Apple store. How hot is hot is very subjective.

Shuffle Playlist songs only

Hey I have an 80gb video, and i love it
but im dissapointed with apple for having very little instructions on how to use it (i've figured most of it out now) but i just made a playlist after four months and im a little mad. for one reason and that is because the songs dont shuffle, but then when i go into the settings and turn shuffle songs only on it shuffles the playlist but also all of my songs and albums (which is really stupid, there should be a shuffle playlist setting) unless there is something else i can do, help is appreciated

http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/
Shuffle Songs from the main menu will shuffle everything.
If you select Settings -> Shuffle - songs, whatever you select will be shuffled.
If you do not want to shuffle a selection, you must set Settings -> Shuffle to Off.
There is no shuffle setting for playlist by playlist basis.

Can a crossfade transition apply to video only, not audio?

I want to have a Cross dissolve transition, but that does not affect the audio. Is this possible without extracting the audio?
What I mean is the video will have a croos dissovle transition, but the audio just goes straight into clip 2 with no audio crossfade?
Thanks

If you double click the audio portions to expand them and then add the cross dissolve the fades won't be added to the audio. Maybe that's what you meant by extracting.
Yes expand = extract audio = detach audio, different words for the same thing.
What I want is to be able to add corssfades without expanding (extracting or detaching audio) so that it only applies to the video. Thanks I'll investigate that link.

IPod shuffle 1G power only 2 hour

Trial 1. (tried two times)
1. Charged till green light by Apple power adapter at night
2. Switch off position (pause before switch off)
3. iPod shuffle play only 2 hours continuously next morning
Trial 2.
1. Using right away after charging to green light
2. It can be played around 10 hours continuously
Remark: latest firmware , bought 2 ipod shuffle just 1 week only , only 1 happen as above condition

Seems that my ipod shuffle is losing power even when I turn it OFF.

When my ipod nano 6th generation is on shuffle, it plays only songs from a few artists for a time, then moves on to play songs from other artists. Any ideas how to get it to mix up the songs a little more so i don't have to hear songs more than once?

In a car ride, we hear the same songs twice even though there is over 24 hours of music on it

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

App Store Genius only on iPhone (not desktop) ???

Why is the genius feature for the app store not accessible from my laptop running itunes?
you would think that this would be the other way around... usually the mobile device is missing some features of the desktop.
all in all i like the new version of itunes on the phone & the mac. i especially like the new genius features for music and applications. i think it will help tremendously in sorting through all of the garbage on the app store. considering it was so hard to find good content unless it was on the top 25 or featured pages. and even at that, on the top of the list recently was complete crap like I AM TPAIN are you kidding me? camera genius? camera zoom? finger security? really? i know i'm taking this a little far and it's definitely an OT rant but it just illustrates my point that GENIUS needs to be available on the desktop itunes.
please help by submitting your feedback to apple & get the app store genius available on the desktop version of itunes as well!

Genius Only Works with "Purchased" Songs?

When i tried to make a genius playlist for one of my imported CD's i noticed that the genius feature would not work. It seems to be like this for all of my music that didn't come from itunes. I got a message telling me to update my genius, i did so and it still didn't work. I tried some the the songs i got from itunes and it worked fine.... What's happening?
-Jesse-

Hi, if Apple told us how Genius worked, they'd have to kill us. I guess. Yeah, that was a lame joke.
Anyway - I can get it to make Genius playlist for stuff that is NOT in the iTS.
And sometimes even the free download of the week from iTS will NOT make a Genius playlist, but a few weeks later, it will.
Go figure.
We are not supposed to speculate on the discussion boards, so I have no further info on this. My intuition tells me it has something to do with ratings...and if they're smart, it also has something to do with beats per minute and genre.
