How do you "shuffle" selected playlists or artists only on iPod touch

Can anyone help. How can I shuffle play only certain playlists or artists; at the moment I get everything from my library including Xmas songs!

Hi there.
Start your playlist playing first, then click on the shuffle icon (two intertwined arrows on the right under the scrub bar) to turn shuffle play on. It will then shuffle just within the current playlist.
For artists, choose your artist from the Artists tab in your itunes app, choose All Songs then start one of the songs playing. Now if you turn shuffle on, it will shuffle songs only for that particular artist.

How do I sync the playlists I created on my iPod to my iTunes on my computer?

By syncing. The users manual says:
New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPod touch with your computer, or via iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.
You have to sync, not manage music manually in iTunes.

How can I shuffle a playlist in iTunes for an iPod so my stereo play a large playlist in a seemingly random order

I have an iPod classic that I plug into my car stereo. My car stereo can play playlists, or if just plug it in, it will play every song in alphabetical order. Once plugged in, I cannot use the iPod to "shuffle". I require a pre-shuffled playlist. I have done this before in iTunes 11 will special instructions, but I've since misplaced those instructions. I know how to build a large playlist of all of my songs. Now, how do I shuffle that list of, say, 20,000 songs, and save to a new shuffled playlist? Don't say it can't be done, because I've done it. I know Apple removed the ability to do this quickly and easily, because obviously Apple doesn't really take their customers wants and needs into account. Otherwise, they would see the thousands of complaints after they removed that feature.
So, is there anyone here that can help me? I don't really need to hear that it's not supported or that it used to work. If you know how to shuffle a playlist and save it in that shuffled state, please post the steps for doing this in Windows iTunes 11.
Thank you in advance,
Bluemookie

Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

And what is the wording of the error message?

How do you get the speck gemshell case off an ipod touch 5th generation

I am trying to get the speck gemshell case that I purchased along with the "new" ipod touch 5th generation. It seems like a solid piece of clear see-through piece of plastic and it will withstand lots of drops with the added "lips"on the front of the ipod touch (one reason why i got this case. The other reason was to have my red ipod seen by all who wish to look at it.) but my problem with it is that it seems "too solid". The case is hard to put on and REALLY hard to take off. I have read on some websites that you can take a credit card as a way of taking the case off but I want to figure out how to take it off without ruining my ipod or bending the case?

How do you connect "back to my mac" from and ipod touch?

Does anyone know how to use the back to my mac function with the iphone or ipod touch? This would be really great to get access to the computer like you can with a laptop when on the road.

Hi kclarke2000,
The Apple official feature *Back to My Mac* is only supported from a Mac computer to another Mac! So, this means you won't be able to use this functionality with your iPhone or iPod Touch yet!
However, you may want to leave feedback for Apple, by using filling out [this form|http://www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html].

How do you fix lines that come up on an iPod Touch (5th Gen) once it turns on after running out of battery?

This has happened to me about 4 times now. I just got a brand new iPod touch (5th Gen) after replaceing my 4th gen iPod. I havent had it for a month, so its still brand new. The only thing is that when the iPod runs out of battery it turns off (duh) but it doesnt turn back on when you plug it in to charge. When I noticed that the iPod doesnt turn on, and I hit the power button, lines appear on my screen. They are lines that run up and down the screen from left to right. I try factory resets, setting resets, restoring my iPod. But this issue keeps coming up. I honestly dont know what to do. This thing is brand new and its acting up on me. Should I take it to my apple store? Should I just put up with it. I have tried everything and at this point I dont know what to do anymore. Please help!!

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem
If the iPod is defective within warranty (you indicate it is) and not abused Apple will exchange it on the spot.

How do you fix the white screen of death on ipod touch 4g

Okay so i was listening to my ipod and it died so i just put it in my pocket.. when i got home and charged it i turned it on and the screen was white.. i reset it about 4 times using itunes and i tried the hold the power button and sleep/wake button numerous times and nothing happened it's been on a white screen for a few days now and i can get it to play music by hitting the sleep/wake button twice and guess where the play button is.. but one thing i tried was taking pictures of the screen and uploading them to itunes and it shows the screen as it should... with the lock screen background and all... i seriously have no idea what to do because the nearest apple store is 25 minutes away someone please help me :/

If you tried a restore and it is still doing it, then you most likely have a hardware issue.

How do you download music from your computer to your ipod touch

I am trying to download my music from my computer to my iPod Touch and when I plug it in it says no device found!

Hi Joshie Pumped Up Boudreaux,
When you connect your iPod to your computer, is the iPod's battery dead? If so, it won't turn on for about 10-15 minutes (at least). Once the battery has enough charge, you should see the Apple logo, and it should start up.
Otherwise, see this article if you're using a Windows computer or this one if you're using a Mac.
Hope this helps,
