How do I add songs without putting them in the shuffle mix?

Hello everyone!
I'm using the iPod on my iPhone. My favorite way to play music is on shuffle. However, there are several tracks I don't want included in the shuffle mix-- lectures and things like that.
How do I exclude these tracks from the shuffle mix? I tried unchecking the box in the left column, but they still come up in the mix.
I suppose I could put everything I wanted to play on one playlist, and just shuffle that. But is there a more elegant solution?
Thank you!
DS

For each track you don't want played in Shuffle mode, enable the Skip when Shuffling option from under the Options tab of its Get Info window in iTunes.
Then sync the updated changes to your device.

Why does my mac erase the files without putting them in the trash

Two days ago i was about to erase a file, i did that moving it into the trash, suddenly it apear a message to put my password, now i can not do anything without putting the password, erasing, moving files etc
pleas help!!

Open Disk Utility and run thre Permissions Repair function.

Hum. songs and putting them on the i Pod, please help.

mkay so,
i got my iPod nano like.. three days ago,
and i got all the songs put on their, but i downloaded some
more and whenever i try to convert them to AAC they just
make a copy of that song. and i can't drag it to my ipod
because it has one of those like non-smoking signs on it
so it won't do it. and i don't even know what that means.
and when i plug it in to the computer, the itunes says
updating iPod do not disconnect and then i can disconnect it...
and you're not supposed to be able to disconnect it if its
in your computer!!!!
AND whenever i click my music under my little iPod icon, its all greyed out and locked for some reason.
I'm dumb, please help.

You're not dumb...just new.
As for the iPod saying it's ok to disconnect after a few...it probably means you have your ipod set to auto sync. As for the "non-smoking sign"...where are you seeing it? During the time the iPod is saying "Do Not Disconnect"? That's normal.

Are these songs already showing in iTunes? I'm guessing (I don't use auto-sync...I prefer to manually sync my music) that you can't drag songs to the ipod if you have it set to auto-sync since it is set to automatically update when plugged in based on what you have on itunes. Again, I'm just speculating on this.

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order. How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ... How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

How do I purchase a song without putting security codes in

How do I purchase a song without putting my security codes in because I forgot the answers to them

The security questions should be asked the first time that you make a purchase from a new computer or device, you can't bypass them. If you've forgotten their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

How to Play One Song Without Repeat?

I am a new Ipod user, with an 80 GB video version. (I don't think it's one of the latest new models, but the second to last generation. Is that "fifth generation"?)I updated it with the latest firmware, just a few days ago.
I have used other MP3 players before though. In most respects I find the Ipod superior to the other MP3 players I have used. However, there is one setting, that I have made before on other MP3 players, for instance my old Creative Muvo 4GB (a few years old), which I cannot figure out how to set on my Ipod.
How does one set the Ipod to play one song, without going on to the next one, and without repeating that one? The default (of course) is to play all the songs in the album or playlist, going on to the next one, when the current song is finished. Looking in Settings, I find one can set "Repeat" to repeat the whole playlist or album when one comes to the end of it, or set it to repeat the same song.
But---what if one wants to play one song, and then have the Ipod stop (or at least pause), and not automatically go on to the next song, or repeat the same song? Is it possible to set that? I cannot see how. If there is a way to do that, please let me know.
Some might ask--why would one want to do that? True, for normal use, the default setting is the best one, going on to the next song, as when one listens to a CD. But, there are cases where one might want the Ipod to play one song and stop. I'll explain my reason for wanting to make that setting--I am an elementary school music teacher. In my concerts with the children this upcoming week, I will put the musical accompaniments for my choirs on the Ipod, and play them from it. When the choir is performing a song, at the end of the song, I don't want the Ipod to start playing the next song on the list. I want it to stop or pause at the end. It will be a hassle for me to have to manually stop it at the right moment, and I might miss it, and it will start playing the next song.
Any way to set it to play one song, and then stop? If so, please tell me.
If not, I would hope that Apple would add that capability to the next firmware upgrade. Do they read here for user's suggestions? Is there another place to make suggestions for improvement in the Ipod firmware?
Thank you for your input.

Thank you for the reply, Chris.
I thought of that idea, a separate playlist for each song. That would be fine, if I was only playing one song. But I want to have the list of songs ready to play, so was going to put them in a playlist together. I need to be able to get to the next song quickly, without a lot of messing around with the Ipod.
Is it possible to put playlists within playlists? Then, perhaps I could make an individual playlist for each song, and make a playlist with all those one-song playlists together. If that is possible, it probably still would make it too complicated to go to the next song, probably having to use the menu button to go back to the higher playlist, etc. I want to keep playback simple.
I may try your idea of creating a blank "song" to put between tracks. (Is there also no way currently otherwise, to put a certain amount of empty space in between tracks?)
Thanks also for the feedback link. I will send this concern to Apple, and hope they add that capability soon.

How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

How to execute web applications without deploying them?

How can I execute web applications without deploying them (without mentioning them in the server.xml)?
I have an IWS 6.1 SP1 installed with default parameters (JES). I would like that a posix user could execute his own web application without administrator collaboration.
Does it exist some sort of "autodeploy" like in tomcat?
(I know about the invoker mapping in default-web.xml, just I don't realy understand what does it eventuate. I tried to unzip webapps-simple.war in the directory $IWS_SERVER_HOME/webapps/$instance_name/servlet/tmp/
but the http://a.a.tg/servlet/tmp request failed:
javax.servlet.ServletException: WEB2784: Wrapper cannot find servlet class tmp or a class it depends on
----- Root Cause -----
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tmp
How can I solve this? Users should have write permission to the directories in the classpath to put their servlet.class files into? Bad idea...
(I tried to "execute" the $IWS_SERVER_HOME/plugins/java/samples/webapps/simple/webapps-simple.war)
(Sorry for my language skills)

Do as many of the rest of us do, until this behavior is changed (if ever). Eport your WEb gallery to your Hd and use an FTP client, there are so many, including Drreamweaver's, and Shareware ones, and upload just the relevant files/folders. Some can even check and do this for you.

How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

I am making a book in Aperture 3. I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page. How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below. So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up). If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted. This seems unwieldy. I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album. The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page. This seems to call for an extra step.

TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account. (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.
