How do i fix the shuffle feature for songs?

When I select shuffle, some songs are played many many times and some are never played. How do I fix this?

Try stopping the Music app, then resetting the phone: double-tap the home button, locate Music at the bottom (swipe if necessary), tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap the minus sign. Not reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. Try shuffle again.

How can I repair the shuffle feature for IPOD?

My 3g phone recently lost its ability to shuffle music. I plays music just fine, but only one song at at time. The same song will repeat until I manually select a different one. The shuffle button has no effect.

Turn off the repeat feature.

How can i remove the shuffle feature from my nano?

How can I remove the shuffle feature from my nano? I apparently "shook" it and now it is on shuffle. I can go to settings and remove the shake feature but I can't seem to restore my playing options to a generic loop instead of the shuffle. Help!

chelseafromco: I had the same problem and had an awful time before finding a clear explanation of the solution. Forget the iPod nano 6Gen manual, p. 21; it doesn't tell you how to turn the feature off, just how to turn it on. Not all of us like randomizing our playlists. APPLE: PUT UP AN ARTICLE EXPLAINING SIMPLY HOW TO DO THIS. Meanwhile, here's what worked for me:
1. Go to the "Now Playing" icon and tap the "Play" arrow in the center.
2. On the touch screen that comes up (you'll see an eighth-note graphic with the song title superimposed at the top, a Play/Pause button in the middle, and "Reverse" and "Forward" buttons on either side of that), swipe your finger to the left (not to the right).
3. This touch screen will have a "Repeat" symbol with two arrows like a snake eating its tail on the left and another symbol on the right that shows two arrows pointing to the right. This is the "Shuffle" symbol. Touch the Shuffle symbol so it's white, not blue. White means that Shuffle is off.
4. To make sure you won't accidentally turn Shuffle on, which you can do by giving the iPod a shake, go to the main Settings icon, cick it and select "Music," then press "Shake to Shuffle" until the button next to it says "Off" (white, not blue).
Hope this helps. By the way, in case you were wondering: The whirling-molecule symbol in the center of the "Now Playing" controls is the Apple "Genius" symbol. This is to remind us that Apple's manuals are created by people who don't know that customers need instructions on how to turn things off as well as how to turn them on.

How do I fix the "Remove" button for my Netflix instant queue?

I cannot remove items from my Netflix Instant Queue through Apple tv, because the button that should say "Remove" says instead "+ Queue". This is true even when I am in the "Instant Queue" area of Netflix on Apple tv. I have tried restoring to factory settings, but this did not fix the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks!

This is the second time this has happened to me this summer, too!! Since I have two apple tvs set up and it has happened simultaneously on both each time, it's clearly a Netflix/ATV issue and it needs to be resolved. This must be affecting far more people than just the few who have commented on this site, yet Google searching reveals almost no hits for this issue. Last time it just magically resolved itself one morning. It isn't happening with my PS3...
*** APPLE, FIX THIS!! (I don't care if it's "Netflix's problem", just fix it.)

Will spotify every fix the shuffle feature?

out of 2756 songs, the same artist played 4 times in a row. Additionally I almost never hear about 75% of my playlist. I will also hear the same exact song within 4 songs of each other. This has been a super painfull experience for a long time. I put a lot of time into my song selection for nothing. I have read forums of people asking similar questions and the answer is always "we've implemented a new algorithm" but nothing changes. Am I getting screwed out of these new algorithms because i mostly use my phone for music? Is this something that Spotify actually cares about? if not then I think I am ready to ditch Spotify. I have never had this much trouble with any other media player before. This seems ridiculous since its such an easy feature to fix. Spotify please fix it so I can hear all of my music. I put it there for a reason. Edit: Immediately after posting this i went to my play list to test it again:Song 1: Queens of the stone ageSong 2: Modest MouseSong 3: Queens of the stone ageSong 4: Queens of the stone ageSong 5: Modest mouseSong 6: black keysSong 7: NINSong 8 Queens of the stone age WTF

I accidentally changed the artist and album title for half my library. How can I fix the metadata on these songs?

I am using Match. I have tried Tagalicious, as well as a script someone wrote to fix metadata, but they only caught about a third of the mis-tagged songs. Can anyone suggest a way to fix all of the metadata? Is there some kind of automated Shazam type thing that will analyze the track and identify it and update the tags?
Thanks!

I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

How do I fix the battery life for my iPod touch?

It has a very low battery life. I can only use apps for 1-2 hours. Please help me! Thanks

See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time? Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

Why is the shuffle feature omit songs on both of my Nano's

Both of my nano's have about 1900 songs on them, but when I choose "shuffle songs" and play all of my music or even a large playlist several songs are ommitted. For example, if I select "shuffle songs" and play "all" my nano displays "1 of 1450"; when I play "all" with shuffle turned off it displays "1 of 1900". About 400 songs aren't played when shuffle is on. Why is this happening?

You may have songs that are tagged (Get Info -> Options) as "Skip When Shuffling".
If you don't have ANY songs that you want to be skipped when shuffling, then easiest fix is to select the entire iTunes library, Get Info, then on the little pull downs at the bottom of the window that pops up is one "Skip When Shuffling". Check the check box next to NO to make all the song with this feature turned off. Then resync the iPod.

You can't since Apple hasn't licensed the option for the iPhone.
