How do I shuffle a playlist in iPod 5th gen?

I set Shuffle to Songs and go into a playlist, but I see no option for Shuffle All. I have to choose a song, then it shuffles the next one. I don't want to have to select a song to start a shuffled playlist, I want to shuffle it to start. How do I do this?

So the answer is I can't. What's wrong with having to do it myself? It's another step that takes several seconds that I don't have to do on other Apple devices. I thought Apple was about making the most easy-to-use mp3 players on the planet. So why does Apple not want it that easy on this device? So I buy the newer device? All they want is my money? They should add this to their older devices. They have in the past on their 5th gen nano, so they should do it on this device too.

Is a playlist of songs playing when you shake?
After shaking are you waiting for the playing song to end to hear what is playing next?
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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

How can I sync audio podcasts to iPod 5th Gen ?

The latest Itunes has really confused me, but the worst is that podcasts refuse to sync to the IPod. Cant save podcasts on Playlists, either. Playlist-on-the-go just laugh at me. I've spent more than a day trying to figure this out, but I'm getting mired in confusion. Please help!

How to do a screenshot in an ipod 5th gen 16gb?

I tried to install a screenshot app on my ipod because it doesnt have a screenshot but there arent any proper screenshot app but just snapchat save comes up in the app store.

You don't need an app to take a screen shot. Simply simultaneously press the home and lock buttons and it will take one!

Hello I am wondering how to get iOS 8 on my iPod 5th gen i am a developer

Hello my problem is i am young i am 13 i know how to code but my problem is i also have other friends in my position. I need to know how to do this so I can get it and they can too! Thanks in your advance!

And if you are a member of the iOS Developer Program, you should know that you can't just give beta software to your friends. You would also know that the iOS 8 developer seed is absolutely not ready for general use. It's given to developers so that they can begin to program for the new features and that they're strongly cautioned not to install it on any device they want to actually use.
The bottom line is that if you are eligible for this seed, you have access to all the information you need on how to get the seed and use it. If you don't have access to this information, then you're not eligible to legally obtain the seed, and probably really shouldn't be messing with it.
Regards.

How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?

How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation? The only shuffle option I see is for all songs, not a specific playlist. I know that I can begin a workout using the now playing option. This will allow me to shuffle a playlist in the begining of my workout, but if I want to change music I cannot get back into shuffle mode unless I select the shuffle all songs option.

This is from the Nike support page:
<http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20976/p/3169,3171
Shuffle Songs: Plays songs shuffled randomly from your music library. To shuffle a playlist rather than your entire music library, start the playlist in shuffle mode before setting up your Nike+ workout. Then, when setting up your workout preferences, select "now playing" in the Music menu.

How can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11

Hey,
how can I shuffle a playlist in itunes 11 (really shuffle the songs in order to burn them on a cd - not to listen to them through the player).
Thanks!

So far I have not found a way to shuffle pre-burn either...only to play.
It is another one of those lovely user-friendly features that doesn't seem to exist in iTunes 11...which seems to have been an update which was a step back for many loyal iTunes users. I sure wish I can use the previous, more intelligently designed version.

How do I delete files on my iPod second gen? This is a NEW problem I have only had with the latest version of iTunes. I have not changed libraries.

How do I delete files on my iPod second gen? This is a NEW problem I have only had with the latest version of iTunes. I have not changed libraries. All files are grayed out. I have already read related posts in the iTunes community.

Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all. Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff. I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management. The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
I like to listen to podcasts. What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store. So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version. Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod.

HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video). My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it. On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

I can't sync playlists from my iPod 5th gen to my iTunes library on new laptop

I have a new laptop and have managed to move all my music to it and install iTunes and all the albums are correct and present, but it was a bit complicated. I'm not sure if we missed a step in moving everything via a larger hard drive, but my playlists were not transferred and even though my iTunes recognises my iPod 5th gen it won't actually sync. I have run the diagnostic test, it says it's all fine. It won't sync new purchases and I can't copy playlists from my iPod back into the iTunes library. I have 15 playlists and I don't want to do it all over again. Does anyone have any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas?

I did find that if I bought new songs from iTunes that I could transfer them to playlists on my iPod, but otherwise when I connect the iPod, under settings (on the left under the device icon) if I select music, it brings up the tick box for sync music. If I try to tick that box, it asks if I am sure if I want to remove existing music and sync with this iTunes library.
