Does shuffle include icloud songs?

Here is my issue; I have too many songs for my phone to store completely. I just signed up for iTunes Match and set up to store in the iCloud. When I plug my phone up to my computer, the "On This Phone" section shows that I have roughly 1050 songs on my phone. Each day when i have listened to music all day, I prefer to remove those songs from my phone and add new ones to keep around 1000 songs available on the phone. However, when I do try and remove some of the songs that I've heard that day from the phone, they are already showing the little iCloud emblem which I took to mean that the song was not downloaded "On This Phone". So, are the songs with the download cloud included when I shuffle songs on my phone?
To be honest, it has been much more difficult to keep track of the songs that are "On This Phone" now that I use the cloud and match. It was much easier just to update and sync a playlist every day. I kind of hate to go back to that since I've just paid $25 for iMatch.
I would love any ideas.
Thanks,

To restrict your song list to just songs that have been downloaded to your phone, go to Settings>Music and turn off Show All Music.  Then look in the Music app to see which songs are stored on your device.  Shuffle will now only include these songs.  Turn Show All Music back on when you want to download more songs to your device.

  • If I upgrade to Mountain Lion does it include ICloud software?

    If I upgrade to Mountain Lion does it include ICloud software?

    Yes it does, iCloud is included with Lion 10.7.2 or higher.

  • HT1925 when uninstalling 'all components' of itunes (to reinstall it correctly) does this include icloud?

    I need to reinstall itunes and it says to uninstall all components as well in exact order?  Does not list ICloud but do I assume this should be uninstalled, too?
    Why wouldn't it list ICloud ??

    iCloud is not an app that is installed on the computer.
    iCloud Control Panel is an app that may or may not be installed.

  • After doing "remove from iCloud", songs are actually still up there!

    I noticed a strange thing. I uploaded my own bands songs to iCloud via iTunes Match. There was some problem with the custom artwork and it got really messy (ID3 tags somehow couldn't be edited anymore in iTunes), so I decided to delete every trace of the songs from either OSX/iOS or iCloud.
    So I deleted them from my library and deleted them from my iCloud ("also delete from iCloud"). They of course disappeared from iCloud on all my iOS devices.
    I then copied "clean" tracks without any ID3 tags (the only thing that remained the same were the file names) to my hard drive and then imported them to the iTunes Library and turned on iTunes Match
    To my surprise, iTunes Match MATCHED THEM and did not re-upload them. That means they stayed in iCloud despite the "delete from iCloud" step...
    How is that possible?
    That is a big problem, because lets say I upload 128kbit mp3 of an Album that cannot be matched. Then I decide to dig up the original CD, re-rip it in 256Kbit AAC and re-upload to iCloud. But how can this be done, if the old version still remains in the iCloud, even after "delete from iCloud" step in iTunes???

    Hi,
    I presume the iCloud status was originally shown as Uploaded. Are you saying that the iCloud status is now showing matched? I am not convinced that previously deleted songs are removed from apple's database. I have noticed that previously deleted songs are automatically show as uploaded immediately without going through the upload process again!!
    However, if you re-ripped a cd at 256kbs AAC in place of a 128 mp3, i think that the new version would be matched or uploaded.

  • In shuffle mode, some songs never get played, why?

    I have most of my music in 1 playlist (about 2500 songs) which I listen to all the time, always in shuffle mode. I became aware that my ipod was never playing some songs, yet others were recurring quite frequently. When I checked the playcount, it showed the highest count at 46, yet it also showed that many tracks that had been in the playlist just as long, have never been played. Why is this? Is my ipod secretly asserting it's own taste in music? Does shuffle mode favour songs with a higher playcount? Is there a way to stop this happening? Has anybody else experienced this? Suggestions gratefully received.

    I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
    I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
    One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
    On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
    I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

  • What does shuffle songs in iPod menu as opposed to Settings do?

    What's the difference between hitting Shuffle Songs in iPod Menu and cycling through the Shuffle options in Settings? I have a 5th gen iPod Nano and if I turn Shuffle OFF in Settings and then go to Shuffle Songs in Menu, it seems to turn Shuffle back on...So, does Shuffle Songs turn Shuffle on and off too? On mine, it seems to just turn it on.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi boulderskies@ck,
    You may want to consult the iPod nano’s user guide, available here -
    iPod nano 5th generation User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1194/en_US/iPod_nano_5th_gen_UserGu ide.pdf
    You will see (on page 6) that selecting Shuffle songs from the main menu will play all songs in random order.
    Further descriptions of shuffle functions are found on page 43.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • What is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not

    hallo guys
    anybody can help me
    my  question is what is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not
    thanks in advance to answer me
    Best regards

    The warranty on an iPad, even a refurbished one, will still be valid in Egypt. It's only the iPhone that does not have an international warranty. Just make sure you don't buy a Verizon-model iPad, which cannot be serviced anywhere but in the US (and won't work with any other cell carrier either).
    Note that refurbished iPads are available only via the online Apple Store, and they accept only US credit cards and will only ship to US addresses. This may not be a problem for you, but I wanted to make sure you were aware.
    Regards.

  • Doesn't seem to be including all songs in shuffle. Repeats same songs

    When in shuffle mode, doesn't seem to include all songs in the shuffle.  It repeats the same songs.

    Well, seems to me that if the computer is reading other CDs, the lens should not be a problem? If you really think it would help though, I suppose I'll try it.
    Since I posted I've tried leveling the computer because I thought that might be an issue, but I think I can rule that out.
    Could it be that I need to download some sort of driver update? I don't know when I purchased those Memorex CD-Rs that I'd been using and that worked, but the ones I just bought look a little different, so maybe they are also more advanced in some way?
    Maybe 3 or 4 discs that I put in (out of maybe 50) actually did show up on the desktop and when I tried to burn them, started burning as normal. But then about 20 seconds into it, it said something about it not being able to burn.
    I have also run Disk First Aid, which told me that there is an invalid PEOF. Could this be creating the problem?
    Thanks to anyone who can shed some light...

  • Approx amount of songs - does this include album art?

    Hi,
    I am deciding on the 1GB or 2GB, 1 GB will probably be enough for my type of use, however,
    If the approx amount of songs for a 1gb is around 240, based on 4 mins, AAC..etc, Does the approx amount of 240 songs include each song having album art showing, if not, how many songs am I looking at if each song has album art as I may need to get a 2GB if it significantly reduces.
    Cheers,
    Walshy

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The estimate includes the album artwork.
    However, I would still get a larger iPod just to allow for more music. Also, the iPod can be used to store files, store and view photos, etc., all of which you may want to take advantage of and require more space.

  • My ipodmy ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs, only parts then goes on to next song

    My recently bought ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs synced to it, only the beginning then goes on to the next song.  What have I done wrong?

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • Deleting iCloud songs from iPod Touch? Please!

    Hi,
    The quick way of saying what I'm trying to do is delete and iCloud song from my iPod and the photo at the bottom will give you an idea of what Im talking about but...
    I was working with an Apple person over the phone last night for my macbook but he ended up seeing 2 aerosmith songs under various artists because they were purchased from a movie soundtrack. What he did was change around the song information so that it would show up under Aerosmith. After doing this, the song did show up under Aerosmith but it also brought up the letters V and P which it also listed Aerosmith under. We did some searching and when we pulled the information for the 2 songs, we saw that in the copyright part (where we are unable to retype anything, the name Pamela Jetson came up which is why there is a P.
    After that we deleted the songs from iTunes but now I'm trying to do this from my iPod so that hopefully this will go, but it will only put a cloud next to it and not fully delete it. I could try looking back at my old computer to see how it exactly was identified and see if we can bring it back down to the various artists but I do'n't want it to bring every Aerosmith song with it because you can see how under the P all Aerosmith songs are listed. Because of this, when I go to hit the letters on the side such as T to find say, Tom Petty, it guesses that T is in-between the A and V so it jumps up to the top rather than going to the bottom where the Ts really are...
    Thank you so much!!!!

    Tried this and was able to fully clear Aerosmith from the song info. but it is still causing this... Irritating, when I get another iPhone, and download everything as it appears on the computer (the song is no longer on the computer) will this reoccur?

  • Recently downloaded new ITunes.  Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Help????

    Recently downloaded new iTunes.  Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
    If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • When i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including apps

    when i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including app

    If you backup with iCloud only - yes your apps are included in the backup. If you backup and sync with iTunes - only your app data and documents, device settings and things like that are included in the backup.
    So if you use iTunes only, you have to restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. If you are going to update to iOS 5 now you should backup your iPad ... Or even iOS 6 when available on the 19th -  backup your iPad.

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

  • Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?
