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

From your backup that is in iTunes or in iCloud or resync them from your computer.

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 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 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 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 can I pick what is selected in a report and form appication

I have the need to pick what is selected , say the primary key from what is selected in the first form.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
Look on the second page for an ID item. This is what is typically set when going from a report to a form. You should be able to use that item to filter your report on the second page.

Dan

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.

How to find out what songs I deleted – from a playlist?

Hi all, random question...
I have have been culling music from the "Songs" section my iTunes and sending them to the Trash.
HOWEVER the songs that are on one of my playlists, "My Favorites", I really wanted to keep. There were about 200 songs on the playlist and after I finished culling music, I discovered that I had 180 and had accidentally sent about 20 songs to the Trash that I shouldn't have. Argh.
Is there any way to retrive a copy of that playlist from Time Machine, or something, and see which songs I deleted from that playlist. And then drag those 20 songs back from the Trash? I don't want to drag back all the songs I trashed – just the 20 that were part of that playlist.
Any ideas???

I would also recommend leaving the shot on the iphone untouched (downloaded to a PC is ok). There is EXIF information encoded inside the image that records the iphone's date/time (this is in addition to the file system information that the other poster I beleive is referring to). It is also changeable, though one needs more expertise to do so. The reason I recommend leaving it there is some techniques of getting shots off of cameras (i.e. phones) may remove that info or alter it.
But how does the date/time matter -- clearly the event had occurred, how will a shot after it occurred indicate which came first, your care or her's?

BlackBerry Z10 Internet Browser pops up 8 preview windows - how do you pick what is in the 8 preview windows ?

In main Home Display, I click Browser and it pops up 8 preview window panes for me, which is most helpful. I have some there I use frequently such as a traffic site. But, my 8 preview window panes have no button I can click which allows me to add a window to that, nor any way I can see to remove 6 of the 8 I have no interest in ever seeing again, ever.
How do I delete 1 of the 8 preview window panes in Internet Browser, and replace the 8 with what I want to show-up there please ?
Thank you.
Give Thumbs-Up if helps you, or say Solution Accepted, or say Like.

I deleted the Bookmarks for the 6 of the 8 I never want to see again. They still fill-up 6 of the 8 slots. I have no interest in those 6 and cannot figure out how to get rid of 6 of the 8. I have 6 others I definitely do want to have with the 2 of the 8 I already have in there, like the Traffic.
