  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

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

    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 I shuffle "songs" in a playlist?

    Hi out there! I have an I pod classic 80gb. New as of the last 3-4 months. My question is...How do I get it to shuffle "songs" within a playlist? It seems to only give me the option in the settings to set the shuffle to "albums" within a playlist. Am I missing some software update? iTunes on my computer has the option to shuffle songs in a playlist so why doesnt my ipod have the same option? HELP!! Thanks!!

    In the settings menu, make sure that shuffle is set to "songs". Then select any playlist, then press play (not select). The songs within that playlist will be shuffled.

  • How can i remove one song from a playlist on the iPod?

    I would like to remove a single song from a playlist.  When i connect to my laptop and click manually mangage music, i don't see an option for deleting a song.  I can click on the song, but delete does not work.  I also tried dragging to the trash, also unsuccessful.

    If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
    If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES.  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod.  If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list.  Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.

  • How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?, How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?

    I'm trying to recreate the 'Recently Added' playlist that featured in the old ipods (4th gen.?) where it stored the songs you've just added to the ipod and each time you plugged it in it would replace the songs in that list with the new ones you've just added. The 'Smart playlist' at the moment doesn't replace existing songs with new ones except by manual overide. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

  • How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

    I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
    Help Please!

    The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
    If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

  • Shuffle songs when selecting playlist by genre

    When I choose to listen to songs by "genre" on my iPhone, the new OS seems to not allow me to shuffle all sings within that genre, only songs within an artist or album. Am I missing something?

    I know how to play songs shuffled within a playlist
    using iTunes... but when I select playlist on my
    iPod the songs are not shuffled. How do I shuffle
    songs within a playlist when playing them on the
    iPod??
    Thanks.

    Windows XP 60G Video iPod
    Under the Settings menu, select Shuffle. Try setting the shuffle to to "Songs" rather than "Albums". That's what worked for me. Also works to shuffle songs from your entire library under Music/Songs. If you have it set to album, it will shuffle the albums but not the songs within the album. Hope this helps!

  • New playlists freezing on iPod classic. Old playlists are fine.

    I recently invested a lot of time putting together two new playlist for the iPod classic that I use for muzak in my shop.  The music on these playlists is pretty much new to the iPod.  It is mostly from records that I have copied to .mp3.  My iPod is an older 30gb model with fully updated software.  The playlists that I've put together in the past seem to work fine with only an occasional freeze (maybe once a month).  When the iPod freezes I do a reset and all seems fine.  These are long playlists with 24hrs of music minimum and they play for at least 8 hours every day.  The problem is that the new playlists seem to freeze up every ten minutes or so.  I've since given up using them until I figure out what's wrong.  I've made two regular playlists and two smart playlists based on them.  Both types freeze up constantly.
    Again, the older playlists seem to work just fine.  By "older" I mean, I put them together a couple of years ago and have been adding music since, with no added problems.  Only the playlists that I've created in the last couple of weeks seem to be having this problem.  There is nothing different about the way I've gone about putting the lists together.  The file formats and bit rates are all the same.  The songs that freeze the new playlists work fine in the old playlists and they play just fine on their own and in iTunes.  For example, just this morning, five songs into starting the "Lounge" playlist the **** thing froze.  The song was something by Bobby Darin.  I reset the iPod and scrolled to that particular song . . . it played just fine.  So, why are my new playlists causing this problem?
    I'm hoping someone might have the answer.  I realize that the iPod is quite old and it does get a lot of use so perhaps it's time for a new one . . . but I'd like to keep using it if possible.
    If any further information is needed I'd be happy to give it.

    Click on the triangle next to the App Store on the menu bar in the iTunes Store. Third item down is iPod Games. That's were you'll find games that will work on your iPod. Nothing in the category list will work on the Classic. iPhone and Touch only.
    Best of luck.

  • How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

    How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic?
    Is this possible?

    You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
    In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

  • How do I shuffle songs within Playlists?

    I'm new at this. How do I shuffle songs within each individual playlist?
    So far I only know how to shuffle when I'm not using a playlist.

    lol
    Don't worry about it. I have read original posts wrong and have tried troubleshooting a different issue than the person was having. After about the 5th or 6th reply, I'll read something that doesn't make sense (in relation to the problem), go back, and realize my BIG mistake!

  • How do I get to a certain playlist on the shuffle?

    How do I get to a certain playlist on the shuffle?

    Hey there lauramit,
    If I understand correctly you want to be able to select different playlists on your iPod Shuffle. The following article will help you be able to do that with the Voice Over option:
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Enabling and using VoiceOver
    To enable VoiceOver when you set up iPod shuffle
    Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
    Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes. "Enable VoiceOver" is selected by default.
    Click Continue.
    In the Summary button, under Voice Feedback, choose the language you want from the Language menu. This sets the language for your spoken system messages and playlist names, as well as many of the song titles and artist names.
    Click Apply. When setup is complete, VoiceOver is enabled on iPod shuffle.
    To choose an item from the playlist menu
    Press and hold the VoiceOver button. You hear the names of your playlists.
    When you hear the name of the playlist you want, press the VoiceOver button or Play/Pause to select it. The first item in your playlist plays. When you're listening to the playlist menu, you can press Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind to move forward or backward in the playlist menu.
    To restart a playlist, follow these steps to select the playlist you want.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
