How can I select tracks to play from my downloaded music as a casual playlist at the time?

I have downloaded all my music onto my Ipad and have a list of songs. I have created playlists for various occasions but I want to be able to select and play random tracks as a one off playlist at the time. I cannot see anyway I can "tick" tracks to play, then hit play. Can anyone help or is this facility not possible. Thanks

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • How can I get tracks to play faster than normal speed in itunes?

    I have lectures, audio books, and other recordings that I would like to play at faster than normal speed (like 1.5X or 2X normal speed).   I've set all of these recordings as audio books because I read that they have the option to play faster, but, I can't find how to actually make them play faster.  I also read that it's possible to open them in quicktime, but that is very much less than ideal and a waste of time.  Surely there is a way to do this in itunes, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks for any help.

    I will show you how I played my audio or mp3 files at any particular speed. This method will allow you to simply enter in your desired speed.(ex. 1.5 or 1.33)
    In my case Im using an audio book [Lord of the flies] I download off youtube as a MP3 file using this program:
    http://download.cnet.com/MediaHuman-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-7544580 3.html
          First off,  you will need to make sure your audio file is open in QuickTime player rather then iTunes. First you need to locate the audio file. If your audio file is in itunes then right click the file and select "Show in Finder"
         The file should open in a finder window, highlighted. Right click the file, go to "Open With.." And click Quicktime Player. (If quickTime Player is not an option, you need to go to "Other..." and select QuickTime Player from your Applications folder)
    Now that your mp3 file is open in a QuickTime window you may proceed to step 1.
    1) Open Finder
    2) Click Applications
    3) Click Utilities
    4) Open AppleScript Editor
    5) In the program copy and paste the script below.
    6) Click "Compile"
    7) Now to test this script, click "Run" A window should pop up prompting you to enter your desired speed (default is 1.5)
    8) press "OK" and quick time should start playing your audio at the speed you entered in.
    9) If you would like to use this script again, go to File > Save... >Name your AppleScript and save it Anywhere (I saved mine in the Music Folder for easy access)
    tell application "iTunes"
    pause
    set myTrack to location of current track
    # the player’s position within the currently playing track in seconds
    set mySeconds to player position
    end tell
    # show a Dialog
    set SpeedFactor to 1.5
    display dialog "Enter speed factor:" default answer SpeedFactor
    set SpeedFactor to text returned of the result
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    # pause all previously opened documents
    set open_docs to documents
    repeat with doc in open_docs
    pause doc
    end repeat
    # open the track just played in iTunes
    open myTrack
    # get the 'QuickTime' document, MyTrack should be equivalent but it isn't
    set MyMovie to first document
    # rewind by 10 seconds
    if mySeconds > 10 then
    set mySeconds to mySeconds - 10
    end if
    # set current time
    set current time of MyMovie to mySeconds
    # set Speed Factor and start playing
    set rate of MyMovie to SpeedFactor
    end tell

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library from my laptop to an external drive connected to my time capsule? I want to be able to access the music from several devices by wifi and am a newbie to network stuff.

    I have a 1TB Time capsule, I would like to attach a USB drive to the Time Capsule and transfer my iTunes Library to it so I can run itunes from wifi. I am new to network stuff. My current iTunes library is on a USB drive velcro'd to the back of my Macbook - rather inconvenient, the USB port is loose. The music files are external but the library files with ratings/play counts are in the iTunes folder. Advice please? Be gentle and assume I know nothing please!
    Thanks
    scott

    Setting it up the way you have with the library on the internal and just the media on the external makes it a lot more tricky to move things around. If it was all on the external you could do in the time it takes to copy the files plus about 20 seconds.
    You can use the same library file, except in that file are references pointing to the media files on the USB drive.  Are you planning on doing this with the same USB drive that you are using right now>?  It is possible it may work.  If the configuration is that you have SongA on USB drive Fred, as long as the drive remains named Fred then you should be able to move it to a different point of attachment.  If you are planning on using a different USb drive you can try renaming the new USB drive to the exact same name as the existing one and maybe trick iTunes into not noticing the difference.
    This is where having as much detail as possible when posting an issue is helpful so we don't have to consider every possible configuration.

  • How can I use a timestring saved from LV as a csv spreadshee​t file as the x axis of a LV chart?

    I'm saving the timestring portion of a timestamp as HH:MMS  along with each set of data fields to a cvs spreadsheet file, i.e. each row of the file starts with the timestring followed by data in each remaining column. The first row contains data field headings. I can read this file back into LV with no problem and can remove the header row but cannot find a way to use that timestring as the x axis of a chart graph. I have no problem graphing the data in that format within Excel itself. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    DennisR

    Check the timestamp indicator, it is trying to write your time-stamp to your time-zone, so you will need to change the time-stamp to universal time. For the time-stamp indicator it is easy enough you just need to edit the indicator to display universal time, however for a purely data sense it is a bit odd, I have never found a straight forward way to do it so I use the conversion between Time in Seconds and Date/Time to do it for me.

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • HT1399 how can my song tracks be played  in the orginal order of when i purchased the album

    i bought a music album and it isn't playing the song in the order the songs are listed?

    Hi Kenny813,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will show you how to access the information about the album to edit or correct it if the songs are not playing in the correct order.
    Fixing Incorrect Song or Album Listings in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24677?viewlocale=en_US
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
    Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
    iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Info from the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How can I move my media files from USB-HD to NAS without having to copy the media files to iTunes Media folder?

    I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
    Now I want to move my files from USB-HD to a NAS without losing any information or settings. I want to do the similar to my iPhoto library. I do not want to consolidate my files to iTunes Media folder. The articles I’ve read only discuss how to do if the files are copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library. Any tips or trix?

    I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
    How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml).  When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the  preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
    Correct on the .itl.  Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
    I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this.  If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there.  If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially.  Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

  • How can I re-install iWork using my software download key? I didn't purchase the CDs and am very frustrated. Help !!

    I have had to re-image my IMAC 3x now due to poor performance. Every time, I have to reinstall iWork using my software download key - and for some reason, I cannot find where to do that on the Apple website. Can anyone help ? and if you can't, anyone want to buy a 4 year old iMac ??

    Did you do this download at the Apple Online Store? If so then you can examine the information in your account including invoices of prior purchases. Perhaps you'll find it there. You can also locate all your prior product registrations that you've made starting here.
