HOW DO I CREATE A 30GB SHUFFLE PLAYLIST FROM ITUNES LIBRARY TO FILL MY IPOD

is it possible to generate a playlist lets call it, that is like a shuffle playlist but able to fill an ipod? where would i find the command like, " fill ipod randomly from itunes library"? wouldn't it be great !! just hook up the pod and have it filled with random songs from your library. every day you could have a new playlist, but a really big and different one.
g4 power mac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just create a new Smart playlist.
Limit it to 27.5GB at Random.
Also, set it to My rating is not One Star.
Rate songs you do not want on the iPod to One star.
Connect the iPod & select it as the Source.
Go to the Music tab and set to Sync only this playlist.
To change the music, select this playlist in iTunes.
Select all songs and press Delete. It will fill up again at random.

I'm dumb, can't figure how to get playlist from itunes library into my itou

Ok, I have looked and looked and did search. I want to copy a few playlists from my itunes library into my itouch. I was told they would transfer when I synched, they didn't. Drag and drop does not do the job. What am I missing? I am sure something very very simple. HELP. I do NOT want to do the playlist again in my itouch from scratch, as I have almost 1,000 songs to search through.
There has got to be an easier way.

"Synch" is the process whereby files get copied from the iTunes library to the iPod. If your playlists did not copy, what actually did happen when you synched?

Moving Playlists from iTunes library to iPod

It seems to me that I should be able to do this by just dragging Playlists to an iPod icon. The problem is, I don't see any iPod icons. My iPod Nano is now plugged in, but I don't see an iPod icon anywhere. Yes, I do have a column to the left in my iTunes window and, no, no iPod icon appears in the DEVICES section when I click on Finder.

I'm making progress. First, I found that I could retrieve the iPod icon by turning my iMac off and then on again (I wish there was an easier, faster way). Secondly, I was reminded why I hadn't been able to drag Playlists to my iPod icon in the past: the distance was too great. By this I mean that as long as the iPod icon and the Playlist to be moved are both on the same screen at the same time, there is no difficulty in dragging the Playlist to the iPod icon. However, if the Playlist is too far down the list of Playlists to appear on the same screen with the iPod icon, it can't be done. At least I don't know how to do it. I once asked for instructions for adjusting the font size the iTunes window, but that apparently can't be done. Other than that, I don't know how I can drag Playlists that are too far down the list of Playlists to the iPod icon. Does anyone?

TS1717 itunes continually crashes when I try to add a song to ipod playlist from itunes library.

Since I've updated to itunes 10 recently, itunes crashes everytime I try to add a song from my library into an ipod playlist. This has never happened before and seems to be related to the recent update. Please advise.

Start by updating iTunes, you can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't do it, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Is it possible to shuffle music from iTunes library in iPhoto?

When I look at a slide show of an album it always begins with the same song from iTunes. I know I can change that for each album. But what I would like to do is to choose the iTunes library so that the songs shuffle randomly in each album. What I mean is that if I start a slide show of a specific album it should start with a new song from iTunes each time. Is this possible?

This is a feature this is surprisingly missing from iPhoto.
Apple realizes the importance of shuffling music; they named a product after it. And it seems like it would be such an easy thing to add.
I fully expect this functionality in iPhoto, and am disappointed that it's not there.

How do I randomize songs in a playlist created usint the New Playlist From Selection

How do I randomize songs in a playlist created usint the New Playlist From Selection?

I noticed this was missing too- I use some apps on my iPhone for running and when synced over bluetooth in my car, where the new "random button" and "up next" isn't a viable solution. I have to save a randomized playlist ahead of time since those uses don't support randomization through iTunes- they can only play in the playlist order.
I like to have 5 copies of the same playlist each randomized weekly ahead of time and synced so that each time I go running, it's not the exact same order. Can't find how to do this in iTunes 11.

How do I create an on-player playlist on a Zen X-fi? I've been trying to figure it out for some time now, but I can't. It's quite annoying.

According to the iPod's User Guide, the iPod does not support them as they are not listed anywhere.

I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

HT2736 How can I send a playlist from my library to my friend?

How can I send a playlist from my Library to my friends phone. She uses itunes on her phone. I thought that itunes used to do that, I remember it being somewhere on the program. Now when I would like to do it I can't find it.

First get iTunes on your PC. Then plug your iPod in and go to the music, yo. You Cannot sync playlist if you select to sync your entire library. But you can sync playlists of you choose to sync selected songs.
You can also create a playlist on your iPod just by holding the center button on a song and select add to "on the go". This " on the go" is a playlist and will be transfers to your PC if you plug your iPod in again.

You can't. The iOS SDK requires Mac OS X and an Intel Mac; Windows applications can't be put on either the iOS or Mac OS X App Stores.

I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

They can't. Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything. iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad). iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.
