How do I choose what songs will be on my shuffle.

I also own a classic ipod that holds lots of songs. I wanted something smaller to take to the gym. I connected my new ipod shuffle registered it then it automactically started downloading songs from my library. I have certian songs selected or checked to go on my classic, not all my songs are on my classic from my library. How can I choose what songs will be on my shuffle? Do I have to uncheck all my songs then check only the songs from my library that I want on my shuffle? If this is the case that is a bummer...because it would mean that I would have to redo all of the selecting again for my classic. Please tell me this is not the case! Does anyone know how to go around this so I don't have to reconfigure everything everytime I want to synch different songs to put on my shuffle...there has got to be a way...I don't think that apple would be that uninformed to let this happen...Maybe I need to load a whole different itunes for my shuffle and have two seperate programs????

Depending on the type of iPod you are using, "Other" can be various things such as Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device.
If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

How do I pick what songs....

Hey guys, this is driving me nuts! But is there a way to pick what songs that I want in my ipod nano? Its brand new, I got it about 2 months ago, and I cannot choose what songs, it seems that its automatically picking them from my itunes. Is there a way to choose only the songs/playlists that I want on there?
Thanks
Amber

There are a couple of things you could do. Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod:
1) Change your update setting to "Automatically update selected playlists only" With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
2) Change it to "Manually manage songs and playlists". This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

Thanks.

Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

Hello Tonchee
If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

How do I delete a song from an i-pod shuffle?

How do I delete a song from an i-pod shuffle?

If her iPod is set up to sync automatically with iTunes, then simply configure the iPod so that the track is removed from the Shuffle during the next sync operation. For example, if the iPod is configured to only sync selected tracks, then make sure the track you wish to remove doesn't have a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.
If you manually manage the iPod's contents, you must manually move the song from the iPod via iTunes. Plug the Shuffle in, and then click on the small black triangle next to it's device name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to open up a submenu. From there click music. Locate the track you wish to delete. Highlight it and hit Delete or choose Edit -> Delete.

How can I tell what songs have been purchased?

So, I've been going through some guilt and have been replacing copied songs with Apple Store purchases. However, some songs I am clueless about. Is there a way to tell what songs have NOT been purchases through the Apple Store (or, Amazon, for that matter)?

If you mean to check if one of your songs hasn't been purchesed by you yet, then one way to do it is going to iTunes and then to the iTunes Store. Once there, in iTunes 11.2.2, there is a column to the left labled QUICK LINKS. From there there are four imediate options: Account, Redeem, Purchased, and Support. If you click on purchesed, it will show you the songs you have bought from apple. Once you have clicked purched, there is also an option on the top right hand corner to show all of your purcheses or just the ones that are not on your mac.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

How does IOS choose what IPv6 source address to use?

I have a 3750X with IOS 15.2.2E.
I have multiple IPv6 addresses on the default VLAN (VLAN 1):
ipv6 address 2001:470:...../64
ipv6 address 2001:470:...../64
ipv6 address 2605:A000:..../64
I have one default IPv6 route:
ipv6 route ::/0 Vlan1 FE80::.....
S ::/0 [1/0]
via FE80::....., Vlan1
My question is: when I issue a ping from the 3750X, how does the switch choose what source address to use?
Currently, it seems to use the 2605:A000 address, but why?
Can I change this behavior?
Thanks!

OK,
How about my second question: Can I change this behavior in IOS?
Thanks!

How can you tell what song it is stuck on?

Is there a log or a way to tell what song match it stuck on? I see a lot of generic "stuck on step 2" posts, but nothing really of any substance. I have figured out that if I delete my "Cache.db" file it appears to rebuild the match database, but I still seem to be stuck on a single track.
Anyone have any helpful info?

Ahh ok, well that makes me feel better. I wish they would log it somewhere so we could at least track if the issue is on our end or theirs.
I'm on 8517 of 24123.
I was adding them album by album, but it was taking forever, so i just threw them all in one directory and said ef-it.
Thanks for the info.

How do i choose what information is synced

i have 1260 albums 550 artists. when i sync my ipod i get thousands of artists, i only want the album artist. how do i limit what information gets sync'd?

The iPod classic only recognizes the artist field, not album artist. You can cut down some of the clutter by setting the compilation flag for compilation albums, and enabling one of the Compilations menu items in the classic menus. To get things really organized however you should also move all guest/featured artist information out of the artist field. There are other issues regarding common album titles such as Greatest Hits. See Grouping tracks into albums for more information.

How do I tell what songs have altered Start/Stop times (Under "Get Info-Options") without opening every single song.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I'll change the Start/Stop times of my songs, and I'll forget which ones I've done this to. For me, this can be a hassle, due to the number of songs I have, and the actual amount I listen to my iPod. I'll admit that it's my fault, that when I'm making a ringtone or simply shortening a song temporarily, I'll almost definitely forget to change that shortened time back after I'm done. But that moment when you're listening to a song and it abruptly ends, especially in a place I don't have access to iTunes (and in that situation I usually forget before I get home, exacerbating the problem even further), it can be the most annoying thing ever for me. I don't want to deal with it any longer, though, so here's my question:
How can I view which songs have altered Start/Stop times, without needing to view the Info for each individual song? I can't select all songs and then select "Get Info", because if I do that it won't even show the Option. The only reason I'm here is because I tried to figure it out myself, for weeks on end, and have returned no valid options for solution. So can someone please help me?

Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.
