How do I set iTunes 11 to shuffle in genre?

I just installed the iTunes 11 to my MacBook Pro. I chose the Genre: Holiday to shuffle songs from multiple albums but it only plays from the last 4 CD's I added to the iTunes. How do I get iTunes to play from all 27 albums? Assistance is appreciated, thank you.

I have this same issue:https://discussions.apple.com/message/20551634#20551634
For me I believe it is an issue related to the check marks.
Initially the older albums were "unchecked/not selected", after I rechecked them they would play fine but are not being recognized by "shuffle" this occurs to the albume in a playlist or just trying to reshuffle the album itself.

How do I set itunes to be my default player for every file that I have (VLC is my default player now)

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How do I set iTunes to sync just podcasts and not erase music

How do I set up iTune to sync just my podcast and videos without syncing my music which I have found erases all the MP3s that I have saved?
Thanks

I am guessing you are set for manaul syncing, not auto-sync.
Make a playlist with the podcasts/videos you want, select the whole thing, and drag it into the iPod area after you connect it. This is one of the drawbacks of using manual sync - you have to do it manually.

HT1386 I don't have a computer. How can I set iTunes to sync with wi-fi?

I have an iPhone & iPad and don't have a computer how can I sync iTunes ?

You cannot sync the two devices over WiFi at all. You can turn on automatic downloads on both devices in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, whatever you download on one device will download to other device as well.

How can I set iTunes to prevent selected podcasts from being copied to iPod

Hi,
I have searched and could not find the answer to this problem.
Anyway, I have a 5th gen iPod and am running it on a Mac with the latest iTunes. On the iPod options pane, I have selected to update only the selected Podcasts. I am leaving the podcasts that I do not want on my iPod (but want to keep on my Mac) unselected.
Now although it is true that the unselcted Podcasts to not appear in the Podcast section of my iPod, the files are still there and can be found by artist, album, etc.
How can I get around this? Basically, I have a few gigs of Video Podcasts that I do not want to carry on the iPod but do want o keep on my Mac in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.

This was a change in iTunes beginning with iTunes 6. In 5, podcasts were their own category. In 6, you can actually see podcasts in the regular library so they are likely being copied over by some other playlist. You have a few options for handling this.
• Set the iPod only to copy checked items & uncheck the undesired podcasts.
• Sync only selected playlists & make sure each smart playlist has is Podcast set to false.
The first option gives you more control over the specific ones you don't want to include while the second applies to all podcasts, not just video.
Also under 6.0.3 there is an iPod Preferences button in the Podcasts section of Preferences. You might be able to limit them there. I'm at work, so I don't have my iPod hooked up to this machine to verify that functionality now.

How do I set iTunes to manually update songs without connecting iPod first?

Hi. I just got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. The User Guide says that when you connect the iPod, iTunes automatically updates all songs in your iTunes and deletes songs that are not in iTunes. As far as I can see by reading the User's Guide, iPod has to be connected to change the setting to "manual update". I already have an iPod with songs in it that are not on the iTunes that I just downloaded. I'm afraid that if I connect my iPod, it will erase the songs already in my iPod because of the default "automatic update" setting. Does anyone know how I can change the setting to "manual update" BEFORE I connect the iPod to the computer?
Thanks for your help!

How can I set iTunes to load "iTunes U = Name of University" at startup?

Is there a way thru preferences, plist, or app contents to make iTunes automatically load a specific URL when starting?

I too would like to set our University as the default iTunes application opening page for our SOE. The only solution (work around) I have to-date is to use the URL or the file generated by dragging and dropping any item in the store to the Finder, then placing this file in useful places such as the account Startup Items, the Dock, web browser's bookmarks etc.
My preference would be to as you suggested make this an iTunes startup preference and have bookmarks within the iTunes application.

How can I set iTunes to check for new podcasts at a specific time of day?

Hi guys,
Anybody know a work around for this? I thought it was just a matter of clicking the refresh button at the time I want iTunes to look for new podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
I want iTunes to look for new podcasts at 2 am every day. So, at 2 am, I clicked the refresh button in the Podcasts section in iTunes. It would then say, in the settings, that iTunes last checked for podcasts at 2 am and will look again at 2 am the next day. Awesome, not. Every single time I try this, iTunes always resets itself and decides to look for podcasts at 2:49 pm. I can't work it out.
So, if anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it! I'm on the latest version. 9.0.2. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Daniel

I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

After updating my ipod shuffle, my car no longer recognize it. I cannot connect it to my car via usb. For the past few weeks I have been listen to only songs on the radio.

You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
