How to exclude certain playlists from being shuffled?

I have Video IPOD and would like to know how to exclude certain play lists from being played when the "shuffle song" function is on?
Appreciate your help.

Going back to the beginning I think I misinterpretted your original question. I thought you wanted to be able to turn on the Shuffle Songs function of the iPod and when you played any playlist it would shuffle normally but you wanted to have some playlists that would play without shuffling without having to turn off that function.
Now I think what you wanted to say was you want to shuffle song when playing your library on the iPod but if certain songs exist in your "do not shuffle" playlist, they would be skipped, right?
If that is the case, you can do it with some Smart playlist manipulation. First create the "Do Not Shuffle" playlist and put everything in there that you do not want to show up when you are shuffle playing your library. Now create a new Smart Playlist where the rules are "Playlist IS NOT [do not shuffle]". Make that the only rule, check live updating and only checked songs. What will happen is that playlist will contain your entire library EXCEPT the ones you don't want shuffle played.
Now when you listen to your iPod, you can use the Shuffle Songs option turned ON and play that smart playlist which will basically let you hear anything and everything in your library shuffled EXCEPT for those songs you designated to not include.

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

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

After I've heard an audiobook downloaded from the public library, how do I delete it from the Shuffle to make room for other audiobooks? When I plug it into my computer, I get a screen showing how much space is left on the Shuffle but no list of files that I can delete. These books, incidentally do not appear in the ITunes screen.

Select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). If this is a current 4th (or 3rd) gen iPod shuffle, you should be able to see the contents of the shuffle by type, intented under the shuffle's name (still in the sidebar). Select Music or Audiobooks (not sure where those items from the library will be listed). The items will be listed to the right, for each category. Find the items, select, and delete.
It's on page 20 of the manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
NOTE: If this is an 1st or 2nd gen iPod shuffle, select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Contents tab, where the items are listed. Select and delete them from this list.
I find it more convenient to make a playlist in iTunes with things I want to put on the shuffle. I then set up automatic syncing (or use autofill) to have iTunes load the shuffle from that playlist, automatically.

How to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction?

I have setup a pension retro element and its calculating the retro amount correctly.
However, its using sum of salary arrears (say,arrears for the month of March and April) and adding that to May salary and deducting pension on the total sum.
(we do not want this, we want only May salary to be considered for pension retro element)
Does anyone know how to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction element? Is there any obvious step, which I am missing in while defining the element?

Hi,
While doing retro for arrears, it will give at a time in one payroll only, no standard for installment payments.
2nd option:
Calculate the Total Arrears amount and divide it by four installments and through IT 0014 with New wage type and give for 4 months as start and end date.
* you have to create a new wage type which is taxable and assigned to IT 0014.
* add this new wt in Remuneration form in Earnings side.

How do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

how do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

- Why not just copy the iTunes computer folder to the new computer?
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previous discussion:
Best iPod to PC
- Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file from your old computer to the new one and restore from backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and thus loose all app date. The iPod backup file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

HT1329 How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

How do I transfer playlists from one ipod to another?

It needs to go through iTunes. But there is no way to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes library (except for music you purchased from iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library. You can then sync your iPhone to the iTunes library.
Alternately, if you sign up for the iTunes Match service, your iTunes music library on your computer will become available from iCloud. You can set your new iPhone (assuming you bought a "new" iPhone) to sync from iCloud, instead of from your computer's iTunes. All of your music will be available wirelessly, wherever you have an Internet connection.

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad

Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad. I don't want to lock him out of the iPad. Let him use Angry birds, but not Sims or Games not appropriate for him that I play.

Sorry, but it is not possible to restrict use of specific apps other that the few restrictions provided in the Restrictions settings, not unless the app itself provides some sort of lock. If you don't want your child playing certain games, the only answer is to not load them on the iPad he uses.
Regards.
