How can I shuffle individual playlists?

Can I set my iPod Classic (newest 160 GB model) to shuffle songs within an individual playlist? The "Shuffle Songs" setting only shuffles EVERYTHING!

Try this.  Start playing a song in the playlist. T hen click the Center button 3 times.  This should activate the Shuffle feature as well, but it should only shuffle songs within that playlist.

  • How can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11

    Hey,
    how can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11 (really shuffle the songs in order to burn them on a cd - not to listen to them through the player).
    Thanks!

    So far I have not found a way to shuffle pre-burn either...only to play.
    It is another one of those lovely user-friendly features that doesn't seem to exist in iTunes 11...which seems to have been an update which was a step back for many loyal iTunes users.  I sure wish I can use the previous, more intelligently designed version.

  • How can I shuffle a playlist in iTunes for an iPod so my stereo play a large playlist in a seemingly random order

    I have an iPod classic that I plug into my car stereo.  My car stereo can play playlists, or if just plug it in, it will play every song in alphabetical order.  Once plugged in, I cannot use the iPod to "shuffle".  I require a pre-shuffled playlist.  I have done this before in iTunes 11 will special instructions, but I've since misplaced those instructions.  I know how to build a large playlist of all of my songs.  Now, how do I shuffle that list of, say, 20,000 songs, and save to a new shuffled playlist?  Don't say it can't be done, because I've done it.  I know Apple removed the ability to do this quickly and easily, because obviously Apple doesn't really take their customers wants and needs into account.  Otherwise, they would see the thousands of complaints after they removed that feature.
    So, is there anyone here that can help me?   I don't really need to hear that it's not supported or that it used to work.  If you know how to shuffle a playlist and save it in that shuffled state, please post the steps for doing this in Windows iTunes 11.
    Thank you in advance,

    Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

  • How can I choose individual playlists and/or songs when syncing with iCloud?

    It was pretty intuitive before iCloud, when I was only syncing (wired via USB) with iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    I would select my iPhone's name in the left-hand column of iTunes, and then select the category of what I wanted to sync.  From there, I could pick particular playlists, songs, TV shows, movies, podcasts, photo folders, etc. to synchronize to my device.  I felt that I had complete control over every single thing that synced to my iPhone.  Very Cool!
    When I made the decision to automatically backup wirelessly (Wi-Fi) on iCloud, there was a notice that my iPhone would no longer sync with iTunes.  Now, I find that there is no longer any way that I can make choices of what is backed up and/or transferred to my iPhone.  All I can find is broad categories of whether to sync ALL music, ALL videos, ALL photos, etc.  How can I regain the freedom to choose precisely what is synced to my iPhone?
    I'm assuming that every time I want to make a change (even adding a single music video) to on my phone, I need to do all of the following:
    1. Go to "Settings".
    2. Click "iCloud".
    3. Scroll to bottom og the page.
    4. Click "Storage & Backup".
    5. Turn off iCloud Backup.
    6. Connect to iTunes on computer with USB cable.
    7. Make desired syncing changes, etc.
    8. Disconnect cable
    9. Turn iCloud Backup back on., etc.
    This surely doesn't meet Steve Jobs' simplicity definition of being "able to do anything with 3 clicks or less."
    I don't see this addressed anywhere in Apple's documentation.  It would be helpful if they at least had a list of what is backed =up in each place, and how people should manage backing up their devices on each.
    Are the two methods of backup mutually exclusive? Or, should they be complimentary? (With all of the extra keystrokes?)
    Is there any meaningful difference between syncing with iTunes via USB or wirelessly?
    Will iTunes in the Cloud simplify the backup and restore process?  Or make it even more complicated?

    Ever since iTunes 11, that capability is not there.  The Popularity displays in a column, but you cannot sort on it.

  • Can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?

    How can I shuffle two playlists at the same time?  Thank you.

    You can only connect to one site at a time.  And you need to edit files locally, save & then upload to the remote server.   AFAIK, no single FTP app is capable of connecting to more than one server at a time.  You might be able to do what you want with DW open and an additional 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla, each connecting to different servers.

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?

  • How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?

    How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?  The only shuffle option I see is for all songs, not a specific playlist.  I know that I can begin a workout using the now playing option.  This will allow me to shuffle a playlist in the begining of my workout, but if I want to change music I cannot get back into shuffle mode unless I select the shuffle all songs option. 

    This is from the Nike support page:
    <http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20976/p/3169,3171
    Shuffle Songs: Plays songs shuffled randomly from your music library. To shuffle a playlist rather than your entire music library, start the playlist in shuffle mode before setting up your Nike+ workout. Then, when setting up your workout preferences, select "now playing" in the Music menu.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • How do you "shuffle" selected playlists or artists only on iPod touch

    Can anyone help. How can I shuffle play only certain playlists or artists; at the moment I get everything from my library including Xmas songs!

    Hi there.
    Start your playlist playing first, then click on the shuffle icon (two intertwined arrows on the right under the scrub bar) to turn shuffle play on. It will then shuffle just within the current playlist.
    For artists, choose your artist from the Artists tab in your itunes app, choose All Songs then start one of the songs playing. Now if you turn shuffle on, it will shuffle songs only for that particular artist.

  • How can I make a playlist unchangable?

    How can I make a playlist unchangable?

    Right-click on it and choose "Copy to Play Order"
    The songs can no longer be re-arranged (assuming that's what you meant). I think songs can still be added and deleted.

  • HELP! (Please) How can I get my playlists previously created on my iPhone 4 back?

    Hi there. I have an iPhone 4, equipped with all of my music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro laptop. I often create playlists on my phone (when it is not plugged into the computer). When I went to plug my phone into the laptop to sync some new songs and things, it replaced the playlists I had made on my phone with the ones already on the computer. How can I get the playlists that I had made on my phone back? I really don't want to have to recreate all of those playlists...is their any way to retrieve those playlists? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!

    Since this is PC version using XP I'm afraid you'll have to check in on the PC side.
    Caution: just say your using XP Home and trying out the trial. Don't mention the word Mac. PC folks, would make you regret doing that. As much as its so 80's and 90's for such behavior its still around.

  • If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account, how can I setup individual notifications for each account. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work to be different than perso

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts.  you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
