How can I shuffle just a playlist, not the entire music library?

I could swear that I used to be able to pick a playlist on my iPod and then it would just shuffle that playlist.  Now, I only have the choice of songs (which shuffles all the songs on the iPod, not just the playlist) or albums, which plays one complete album, then the next.  Anyone know how I can do it the way I used too?

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!

  • Backing up Playlist (Or the Entire Music Library) on a Second Hard Drive

    I know there are many solutions for this subject online, but neither suits my needs. I have already read many tutorials on how to backup your entire music library using your ipod as a hard drive, but I have a different matter. I have all my music stored on my second hard drive (witch has a capacity 80 Gigabytes), the size of the music folder is about 49 Gigabytes; my ipod has a capacity of 30 Gigabytes, and my first drive (where Windows runs has a capacity of 20 Gigabytes.) On my current library I have all my playlists the way I like them. My problem is that I constantly need to re-install Windows for testing matters, so I would like to keep all my playlists, my ratings, and my play counts when I reinstall windows. I can not use my ipod as a hard drive, because all my music won’t fit. I have also read that it is necessary to have the option (Keep my Itunes music folder organized), but I am not able to do that also, because of the lack of space on my 1st hard drive. What would be my best option to backup my library?
    Thanks in advance,

    Dirk Breeuwer,
    It sounds like you may have your songs stored on the external hard drive, and linked to the library on the internal hard drive. Is that correct?
    You can move your iTunes Library folder to the external drive, and then tell iTunes to keep the library organized. This article discusses creating a different library, and how to switch between them. (This is a feature that was added as part of iTunes 7)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    The initial configuration of that option may take a while, but once setup would be the easiest way to accomplish keeping the library intact through reinstall of Windows with the songs stored on a second hard drive.
    Personally I would try this if you have sufficient space on the second hard drive free for all the music:
    1. Copy the iTunes folder from My Documents to the external hard drive
    2. Hold down shift when launching iTunes as directed in the article above
    3. Select that iTunes folder on the external hard drive.
    4. If you music doesn't have !'s next to it when you try to play songs you know are on the external hard drive, then go to Advanced->Consolidate library.
    5. Consolidating library will copy all the songs into the iTunes folder on the external hard drive, as long as the links were not broke by copying the library to the external hard drive.
    Hope this helps,

  • Selecting any Playlist Folder lists the entire music library

    I recently switched to a new computer from an old one (both were XP Professional, iTunes version was not completely up-to-date on the older computer) and after migrating the old iTunes library and reconfiguring automatic playlists dependent on others, I found myself with a problem. Some of my playlists didn't show correct information, and after poking around for some time, I noticed every playlist folder, once selected or added as a dependency on an automatic playlist, listed the entire music library. Most of my affected playlists now depend on a workaround, and automatic playlist that corresponds to whatever the folders are supposed to list. This, however, is extremely inconvenient as I have one folder containing easily over a hundred playlists, the number of which increases nearly daily. As it happens, I have several playlists dependent of this folder. There is no workaround I can think of short of creating an automatic playlist with over a hundred separate rules, updated as the playlists grow.
    Help would be appreciated.

    I'm not quite sure how a screenshot would illuminate the issue. I can, however, try to explain this in simpler terms.
    I have my playlists in their folders (the sort created by selecting File -> New Playlist Folder). I imported (through File -> Library -> Import Playlist) my music library from an other computer. The playlist folders imported showed every item in my library (automatic playlists didn't). Apparently, moving any playlist out of a folder fixes this problem.

  • HT3819 How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    many thanks.
    That should be possible.
    From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
    Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
    Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
    If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

  • I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

    I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
    it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
    option and check the Selected Artist … one.
    I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
    How can I change this to the second option?
    Thanks.

    There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync.  It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing.  That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
    NOTE:  If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
    So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
    Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting).  Please post back with more details about your situation. 

  • How can I force Itunes to show me the missing music in my library?

    How can I force Itunes to show me the missing music in my library? Somwhere I found that if you Select all, Ctrl-I it would do it. But it did not help. I need to find the broken ones! Help!

    Create a new, regular playlist named All music.
    Drag everything under Library > Music to this playlist.
    Create a new Smart playlist.
    Match all rules;
    Playlist is Music
    Playlist is not All music. This contains all songs that cannot be found

  • Contents of Playlists - Show in Entire music library?

    Hi
    Quite a simple thing, but explaining it may prove complicated, but here goes...
    I have quite a few thousand tunes in my entire library now, I also have many playlists. What I would like to be able to do is click on a playlist then click on my entire music library and have one of the columns show the tunes that are in the playlist I just previously clicked on.
    This would enable me to be able to scan through my entire library and see immediately what tunes were in the playlist I previously selected. This would make it very easy to find any tunes I had missed, or wanted to add to that particular playlist.
    I hope that makes sense. I cannot see any way of doing this at the moment, but for those of us with large music libraries it would be an absolute godsend. Perhaps Apple would consider adding this functionality.
    In the meantime does anyone know of a workaround other than the obvious way of blindly going through the entire music library again and adding tracks only to be told by a message box that the tracks were already in the playlist and did I want to skip the duplicated tracks.
    Cheers
    Jem

    Compared to anything else we could suggest, that is pretty darn efficient! In older versions of iTunes, you did not even get that warning.
    If you want to see everything that is not in PlaylistA, you can make a new playlist with the rule "Playlist" "is not" "PlaylistA" and it will show everything that is not in PlaylistA, which will make it easier to scan as you wish, and then drag what you want into PlaylistA.
    Hope that helps. If you want to make an official suggestion to Apple, you can use their feedback page.

  • How can I add my own files to the TV Shows Library instead of the Movie Library?

    I have my own TV Shows in m4v format.  I can drag and drop the TV Shows into the iTunes Movie Library.  How can I add my files to the TV Shows Library?  Can I group them by show in the TV Shows Library?

    Select the files in iTunes.
    Right click - get info.
    Select the Options tab and set Media kind to TV Show.
    Better yet, use something like MetaZ to tag the files before adding them to iTunes.

  • How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

    I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
    Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional. 

    That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
    The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
    Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph.  It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

  • How can I display date+time and not the point number in excell?

    Hi everyone,
    Could anybody tell me how I can save date + time to a file, so that  I can display on a diagram(excel) : date+time in (ox) and data (oy)? :
    My program sets in (ox) the point number and not the date+time....( although  date and time are written correctly in the column...)
    Any help would be great,
    Thanks,
    regards,
    Marc

    hi there,
    excel uses 01.01.1900 00:00 as the time offset, LabVIEW uses 01.01.1904 02:00, so you can't display the correct datetime in excel when you write the time as a fractional number of seconds from LabVIEW. you must format the datetime in LabVIEW to a string and write that to the column. use the "Format Date/Time String" - function and for example "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S%3u" as the format string (see the functions help for more examples). you also could format your data to a string using "Format Into String" - function and write the file as a 2D string array. the decimal point you have to use depends on your system and its settings, but you can specify the decimal point in the Format string like "%.;%f" (means fractional number with point as decimal point).
    best regards

  • How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

    1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
    2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?

    4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?

    Hi wjosten,
    thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
    I am not sure about the photos.   On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library."  TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc. 
    However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder.  Any clues?
