How do I select multiple Genres at the same time for playback in the new iTunes?

I used to highlight several Genres at once and hit shuffle, playing all of them. The new iTunes won't let me!

Alexander, On my machine it works as follows in iTunes 11:
Enable column browser from the View menu.  In the Genres column of the browser, use CTRL-click (in the Mac I think that is Option-click but if it doesn't work, try CMD-click) to select the Genres you want.  Also activate Shuffle (crossed arrows, or via the Controls menu).  Start playing, and it will shuffle through the songs of the selected Genres.

    How do I shuffle songs in a genre in the new iTunes on an iPhone or iPad?

    I was at the Apple store today and one of their "geniuses" confirmed it is not possible to shuffle songs in one specific genre. He had not noticed this himself, and after trying to do it on my iPod, he tried it on his iPhone, and that did not work either. He told me the best he could do was tell his boss. This of course, does not help much, but we can always hope they fix the issue sometime soon.

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

  • How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

  • How do you print a playlist with the new itunes?

    How do you print a playlist with the new itunes????

    You can click on the little triangle that's next to the little box at the top left of the new iTunes. It will give you a drop down box which gives you several selections. One of the selections is "Show Menu Bar". Click on that and you get the bar back that was on the previous version. Then in "file" you can print a CD jewel case list just like before!

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • How can I select multiple clips in the event browser?

    I can't seem to figure out how to do something that should be pretty simple. I want to select multiple clips in the event browser that aren't next to each other. Right now it's only letting me select the two clips with every other clip in between. Is there a keyboard function that will allow me to deselect the clips in between while leaving the two on the outside selected? In Apple's finder you can do this with files by holding down shift-command while clicking on the ones you want. Or is there away to rearrange clips in the event browswer?
    I'd like to be able to create a multicam clip, but there is always going to be other media in between the clips I want to combine, so how can I select only the clips I want?
    Thanks!

    Holding the Command key should let you select non-contiguous items, just as in the Finder.

  • Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

    I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes.  I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes.  So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

    I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
    Thank you and have a great day!
