Group music feature in iTunes vs shuffle play in ATV2

Hi everyone,
I recently discovered the "group" feature in iTunes, that allows to group separete parts of a sonata or symphony, for example, in order to play them together when using the shuffle mode. All this works perfectly in iTunes (latest version).
Now, when I use the Shuffle mode in the AT2... well, the AT2 seems not recognize that some of my music is grouped. It just plays the music as if nothing was not grouped.
Maybe this is normal? Or not?
Thanks in advance...
Mathieu.

I'm not sure that's gonna work; I've got an old iPod 60, and I'm pretty sure you can only shuffle the main library on my iPod, not individual playlists. I have no idea why this is happening. I just opened iTunes and clicked on another playlist that was shuffled, and turned shuffle off. The songs went back to their original order. Then, I shuffled that playlist again, and the songs were placed in a random order. This problem seems to be specific to only a few playlists [naturally, the ones I want to shuffle]. Any ideas?

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

  • Music Purchased on iTunes will not play after 3.0.1 update

    Hello,
    I have a 3GS 32GB. Since upgrading to 3.0.1, music purchased from iTunes won't play. Other music will play. Purchased music will play from the library on my laptop.
    I have also been bitten by the failure to launch bug. Third party apps would not launch after the update. That problem has been solved, for now.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I has this same problem after upgrading my OS. I tried everything, reauthorizing, restoring, downloading new music (worked from iTunes not from iPhone). I got my apps to work by deleting them and redownloading but you can't do that for purchased music. Apple Support had me restore my iPhone as a new phone through iTunes (instead of restoring from a backup) after making sure EVERYTHING was backed up. Now everything works again and all my data is there and problem is solved. The only additional work I had was to reenter some settings that were lost.

  • Why is it everytime i press play or pause on the apple tv remote, music on my itunes begins to play

    hi guys, everytime i pause or play something on apple tv and my laptop is on, the music on my itunes on the laptop begins to play. How do i prevent this from happening?
    Thanks

    The laptop is picking up the signal. You need to go to system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock and go to advanced - disable remote control infrared receiver.

  • Music purchased on itunes no longer plays

    I recently bought several CDs worth of music for my iPod mini on iTunes and had absolutely no problems at all until the other day, when I discovered that the purchased songs will no longer play. The songs are still displayed as being available for listening. Yet, once selected, the iPod will run through the songs one by one, playing nothing at all. I can, however, listen to these purchased songs through iTunes. What exactly is going on here, and how can I fix it?

    Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.

    Hi, you need to upgrade to 10.5.x...
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10 or later4
    Internet access is required; broadband recommended; fees may apply
    http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • I was downloading music to my iTunes account and playing music from my I tunes library when all of the sudden it stopped playing and the control panel won't let me restart the music.....why

    I was downloading music cd from my PC to my I tunes library and playing music on the I tunes player at the same time when all of the sudden my music stop playing and I can't get the I tunes player to restart playing music from my library again. The I tunes equalizer / player box with timer shows the song ready to play but the controls won't restart the song.......why not, and how to I get it to restart playing my library?

    - You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew.  Is the restore button visable in iTunes?  If it is they restore the iPod.
    - If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode.  See:

  • Music not from Itunes starts to play in background

    I am unable to find the source of music that starts to play. This is not anything in my Itunes library, Itunes is not on when this occurs. I tried using Activity Monitor to see the source but no clues, could this be malware, or a virus, the music starts to play after browsing on safari and playing a news clip, or video. Any thoughts, this is driving me nuts.

    Thank you, I looked at the dashboard and there are pasted images and clips of pokemon characters and when I place the cursor over them, the music starts to play. I left my work computer unlocked on saturday and my seven year old son went surfing the net and found a pokemon web site and he told me he was clicking on lots of things. I now enabled the password setting on the screen saver to keep this from happening again.

  • Music purchased from itunes will not play on nano.  shows up, but skips ove

    Help, all purchased music from itunes store will not play on nano, it appears but then skips to the next song.

    Hi there
    Welcome to Discussions
    It seems that you've posted your question in the wrong forum. This is the intel-based iMac forum. You will get a better answer if you post your question in the appropriate forum:
    iPod nano forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154
    I don't know what generation of nano that you have, but I know that if you have a colored nano (blue, green, pink, silver or matte black), you'll want to post in the "2nd Generation" category. Otherwise (either white or black front and silver back) you'll want to post in the "1st Generation" category.

  • Itunes doesn't play songs, help me please

    hi guys, i'm an italian boy. my itunes doesn't play any songs that i have; when i click on one song the little blue loudspeaker appears but the song doesn't start. this problem began to exist when i downloaded the latest version of itunes (6.0.5, i think) so i have decided to unistall the latest version and to re-install the old 4.0 version, but the problem persist. maybe i've unistalled some of the pc's programs that were necessary to make itunes operative, but i don't remember which. please help me!!! contact me at [email protected], and sorry for my english...:-)

    the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

  • Sound keeps muted, iTunes doesn't play songs

    Sinds a week or two sometimes when I boot my mac my sound doesn't work. My sound keeps muted and I can't turn the volume up because it's unclickable grey.
    Someone told me to do the "cmd + ctrl + n + v"-trick and that sometimes helps me but the problem keeps coming back. Also iTunes doesn't want to play my songs, it keeps stuck on 0:00.
    In my sound-systempreferences everything seems okay.
    My specs are:
    -  iMac mid 2012 running OSX lion 10.7.4
    -  Processor  3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    -  Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    -  Video AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

  • ITunes videos now play in very small square after io7 update

    With the new io7, all my music videos in iTunes are now playing in a very tiny square window! Not good. Any ideas? Hopefully I messed something up in a setting somewhere but I haven't been able to identify it yet..

    I do see a slight difference in quality between an .m4v file (purchased from the iTunes Music Store) when played in iTunes and QT player. If freezing at a specific frame, you can definitely notice the iTunes software seems to blur things and is less sharp (colors more dull, less pronounced).
    As far as the interface is concerned for viewing videos inside of iTunes, the only real concern I have is the performance. QT player resize/scrubbing is much more effective.

  • Playlist in shuffle plays only (the same) 5 songs, then stops

    One of my playlists in iTunes in shuffle plays the same 5 songs (out of 83) and then stops. If I uncheck those 5, and start with another, it plays that song and stops. I've tried deleting the playlist and recreating it, both in Smart form and not, all with identical results. I've tried unchecking and re-checking songs, no help. Putting the playlist on "Repeat all" does not help (it just repeats the 5). Playing without shuffle works fine.
    My other playlists seem to be fine. Thanks for any ideas!

    Select all the songs.
    Right click - get info. Tick *Skip when shuffling* and set to No then Apply.

  • ITunes won't play my music unless it's on shuffle

    My ITunes will only play my music (from one song to the next without stopping) if it's on shuffle. This is even if the songs are checked. Otherwise, I have to go back each song and click the next song. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 (desktop) and MAC OSX 10.9.5 (laptop). Is there an answer to this?

  • ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do  I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    iTunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
    Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
    If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):
