Does iTunes 10.5.2 allow you to control how random shuffle play acts?

I seem to remember a previous version of iTunes that allowed you to adjust the randomness of shuffle-play. There was a slide bar that you could move, and I believe that it was based on the songs you most listened to.
Does the current version still have that function? I can't seem to find it, and my shuffle-play doesn't seem to be as random at the moment. My impression is that I'm hearing more the songs that have a high play count already than not.

I have this problem too, and I want to make random shuffles such that play counts for each song is uniformly distributed. But how come nobody even notice this thread?

Does the CreatePDF online service allow you to place an expiry date on a document ?

Does the CreatePDF online service allow you to:
1) Place a non-removable expiry date on a PDF ?
2) Force the user to view the PDF online without being able to download the file ?

Hi, uihdff.
1) No, the CreatePDF service does not have this functionality. If you'd like to see this functionality in the future, please add it to our Ideas page: http://forums.adobe.com/community/createpdf?view=idea
2) After you create the PDF, you may view the PDF online (in your CreatePDF file list). Or you may download the PDF to your computer.

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

HT3529 What does "Unlimited" mean here, "iMessage allows you to send unlimited text..."?

"iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or cellular data* " What does "Unlimited" mean here, since as far as I can tell, you have to pay for a text plan and none of them are unlimited?

As long as you both have a data connection (either cellular or WiFi) the iMessage will be sent over the data connection and only use a tiny portion of your data allowance.
If the recipient of the message does not have a data connection, the iMessage may switch over to a standard SMS text message (if you have allowed that option in the Settings) - in which case you may be charged by your mobile network operator for the SMS as you would any other SMS you send.
Whether or not you are charged to receive SMS is something you'd have to ask your mobile network provider.

Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC. Why?

Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message. I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video. I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating. The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files. The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it. I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back. Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?

Itunes 12 will not allow you to paste album covers into the get info section of albums or indivial songs it makes you go to another area on your computer

I tried to do a cut and paste like I used to do for album covers that iTunes doesn't carry( go figure) and the 12 version wont let you instead it has a window pop up for pictures that your suppose to direct it to get the artwork from. That's a lot of work! All I can say is simplify and do more research before the next release. also iTunes has always had problems freezing up. This verion and past verisons. I'd go to a different player put I've already invested thousands of dollars in my iTunes media and the earlier stuff doesn't play on different players. So here I am stuck.

The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

Does ical 1.5.5 allow you to group calendars to be published

I am trying to publish my calendar (s) for my husband to view. I currently have a calendar for each member of our house but I want him to see all of them at one site...like I view it on my computer. It seems I can only publish one at a time, each with a different web address. I don't mind upgrading ical if I need to. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.3.9.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

lkbpearl,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately, iCal 1.5 is the only version that will work with Panther.
You will have to Upgrade to Tiger to use iCal 2.0 which allows group publishing.

HT1420 Authorizing doesn't work on my iTunes and claims that its already authorized. How do I play the songs if I cannot authorize them?

Does iTunes in the cloud use up my icloud space?

with the new itunes in the cloud,will my storage space be used to store the songs?

iTunes in the cloud doen't use your storage space. It is a service that allows you to redownload previously purchased music and certain other media from the iTunes store (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). However, you will have to download the music to your device in order to play it.
There is a separate subscription service called iTunes Match that will allow you to access your iTunes library from iCloud. It has its own storage space and doesn't use your iCloud storage plan. (See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

Is there an iPad app for photos that allows you to see them organized by labeling as 1, 2, 3 etc or a, b, c etc in the order you wish instead of by date taken? Thanks.

Is there an iPad app suitable for iPad mini that allows you to order your photos by 1,2,3, etc or a, b, b, in the title rather than ordering by date taken? This would keep them in a sequence you want instead of displaying randomly. Thanks.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How do I play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match (my music is stored in the cloud).

How do i play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match? I don't want to download my music to my iPad.

But that's what I don't want to do. I think I must have misunderstood what was possible with iTunes Match and the cloud. I had thought I would be able to play my music directly from the cloud using WiFi. I didn't think I would have to download it from the cloud to play it on my iPad. I store it in the cloud because I don't have enough storage space on my iPad -- I can't download all my music because I run out of storage space. If iTunes Match doesn't allow you to play the music FROM THE CLOUD, but instead only allows you to DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE CLOUD TO YOUR IPAD TO PLAY, then it's not serving the purpose I thought it would. What's the point of storing it in the cloud if you have to download it to play it?
The only way I could imagine it working for me is if it possible to only download particular albums or songs. Or does your whole library have to be downloaded?

How to shuffle podcasts in itunes

I have hundreds of podcasts and I want to shuffle them in itunes. I noticed when I play one the shuffle button is there and I can push it but when the podcast is over it stops and doesn't go on. What is a way to make them shuffle? Also I have a 7th gen Nano and would like to shuffle podcasts on there but there is no shuffle button.

In regards to shuffling playback on your iPod Shuffle, I also found this article which you may find useful:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Playing Audiobooks and Podcasts on iPod shuffle
When using iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), if iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle except audiobooks and podcasts1. To play an audiobook or podcast, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order .
When using iPod shuffle (3rd generation), podcasts and audiobooks will not be played when content is played from All Songs. If content is played from a playlist synced from iTunes, audiobooks and podcasts will only be played if the iPod's switch is set to play in order. In addition to playlists synced from iTunes, iPod shuffle (3rd generation) will create a special playlist for each audiobook synced and one for podcasts. When accessing these special playlists, audiobook and podcast content will play whether the iPod is set to play in order or shuffle songs. Podcast are sorted by alphabetical order and then by episode date.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Shuffle play - can I "force" iTunes to play an un-played track

I've got just over 6000 tunes on my iTunes ... that's not meant to be boastful, just a way of putting what comes next into context.
When running iTunes on random shuffle play it seems to have a knack of re-playing one of the thousand-or-so tracks that have been played already out of the library already instead of selecting something new. This seems to be happening sufficiently often that I am beginning to suspect it's not coincidence. I am not aware I have any Genius functions or similar running ... well I haven't set them up (nor am I aware I am paranoid!).
Is there any way of "encouraging" iTunes to play something different? Fairly frequently the re-played track is not just something that's been played before but is something I only heard a couple of days ago which is why I started to notice this was happening.
It suggests there's something going on in the track selection algorithm. Can I instruct iTunes to "algo-playsomethingdifferentrhythmsforachange"?

Start with File > New Smart Playlist
Edit the initial rule by changing the drop down lists and adding values where appropriate.
Use the + or - buttons to add or remove rules.
Use Match all or Match any to control how multiple rules interact.
The ellipsis ... lets you create more complex rules without requiring supplemental playlists, E.g. (A OR B) AND (C OR D) where A,B,C & D are different rules that match a subset of the library.

WL 8.1 - JMS Flow Control: How does it work

I have been reading the documenattion on the way weblogic has its Flow
          Control setup. However I still have a few doubts. It would be great
          if some one can help.
          Background: I have a J2EE application deployed on the weblogic server
          (8.1 sp5) which connects as a Consumer to a Topic. On the other side I
          have a plain java application that acts as a producer and sends lots
          of small messages (about 300 bytes) out to the topic using
          MessageProducer.send() method.
          I would like to restrict the flow from this producer so that it waits
          if the consumers are unable to collect all messages from the topic.
          When I enable flow control, I can see log entries in my weblogic
          application that shows that it has beocme armed but it clears off the
          same second. However, I don't see any exceptions being raised at the
          producer side. How can I ensure that the producer is waiting x ms to
          send further messages across. I can't see anything at the producer
          side that would lead me to believe that the flow control is working. I
          also checked the properties for each of teh Session, Connection and
          COnnectionFactory attributes but could not come across any way where I
          could see that the producer knows about the quotas being implemented
          on the queue.
          Can someone throw some light?
          Thanks
          Vikash

Hi,
          Except for the threshold log messages you mention, flow control is silent: no exceptions are thrown when a producer is flow controlled. Flow control simply slows down "send()" calls. You can control how long a flow controlled send() call will take via the connection factory settings. I suppose you can instrument your code to time the send() calls.
          Your statement "When I enable flow control, I can see log entries in my weblogic application that shows that it has beocme armed but it clears off the same second." is likely an indicator that flow control is working. You need to configure your thresholds to be farther apart if you want the flow control condition to last longer, and if you want to reduce the number of transitions in and out of flow-control.
          Tom
          P.S. The threshold settings in 8.1 also control paging. If you upgrade to a new version, then the threshold settings will only control flow-control. You will also likely get much much higher messaging performance - which can reduce the need for flow control.

Does iTunes 10.5.2 allow you to control how random shuffle play acts?
