How do I get the playlist in shuffle to play in sequential order rather than alphabetic?

How do I get the Shuffle to play in sequential order not alphabetic order ?

I just posted this on another discussion about the same topic:
I spoke with Apple today, and they explained how to fix it.
First, plug in the iPod. Highlight the ipod on left side of iTunes. Then go to 'Summary' and make sure the 'Manually Manage Music' is checked. If not, check it, then sync.
Then, drag and drop your playlist into the ipod. On the left side of the ipod name is an arrow. Click that, which will show 'Music' and your playlist. Right click the playlist, then hit 'Copy to Play Order'. This option will not be available if you haven't already checked the 'Manually Manage Music' in Settings.
THEN, hit sync, and disconnect/remove the ipod. When you turn on your ipod the music will still be out of order. You have to press and hold the voiceover button. The voice will list your options, starting with 'All Music', then the name of your playlist.
While you are hearing the name of your playlist, press play on the ipod, and it will play them in the correct order.
And there you have it.
Why so hard, Apple?

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

How do I get a book on CSs to play in sequential order?

I listen to books on CDs, checked out at the library. When I play a CD, I can't get it to automatically play in sequential order.

When I asked a friend, here was her reply. It might help you. It kept my book from "shuffling" the chapters, but then it started playing the same chapter over and over. I'm missing a step someplace. Here's her answer:
Look at the little icon on the screen when you are in the book. You are probably in shuffle. It is two lines that cross over each other with arrows on the ends. Tap that and change to one that is an oval with an arrow. That will go in order.

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play on IPad ?

How do I get the videos on msnbc to play. I get a message that says video will play not but sometime the audio will play . I thinking that I am overlooking something in the settings.
I have had the videos working in the past, and I am not trying to run flash. Problem surface when I rebooted the iPad.

Balance? Seriously? No serious person can say that hardcore lefties like Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Larry O'Donnel and Rev. Al are balanced. They are opinion show masquerading as news programs. The public isn't fooled, and MSNBC's rating show it.
Anyway, the Fox News app is very good and always works with video, audio, and slide shows. Worth a look if you are seeking a mulitmedia news app.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

How do I get my playlist to shuffle with the new version of itunes?

I am having problems getting my playlist to shuffle since I updated to itunes 11.1. When I go to shuffle, it only shows 5 or 6 songs when I have more than 200 in the playlist. Anyone have any ideas?

Are the songs that don't play set to Skip when shuffling?
To check one song, highlight it, select File (or right-click)/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling.
To set all the songs in the Playlist, in one go, so that they will play when shuffle is on, highlight the complete list and then choose File (or right-click)/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling - drop-down menu.
Important: if you use the multiple items method, the drop-down will always say no if just one song is set to "No". Therefore, you need to change this to "Yes" and then back to "No" for all songs to be set to No.

How do I get the "playlist" window to open on the left side of the Itunes library

When I first started using Itunes, the playlist window was located on the left side of the library window. Somehow it got moved to the right side and being a creature of habit, I'd like it back on the left side. I'd also like to know how to lock it so it won't move again. Thanks
