How to include unticked songs in shuffle?

When I untick songs in my iTunes library, they are not included in shuffle anymore.
I have for example a playlist with nothing but unticked songs. But when I start the shuffle function in that playlist, only one songs plays, and then the shuffle stops.
How can I make sure unticked songs still play when shuffle is active?

You can't. Unticked songs are ignored during normal track-to-track playback. Unticking is best used to mark tracks that you want to ignore most of the time, and don't want to put on your devices. E.g. a bonus interview track at the end of an album. You should manage the content of your device by means of one or more playlists which contain what you want for the device, rather than by unticking large sections of your library...

Doesn't seem to be including all songs in shuffle. Repeats same songs

When in shuffle mode, doesn't seem to include all songs in the shuffle. It repeats the same songs.

Well, seems to me that if the computer is reading other CDs, the lens should not be a problem? If you really think it would help though, I suppose I'll try it.
Since I posted I've tried leveling the computer because I thought that might be an issue, but I think I can rule that out.
Could it be that I need to download some sort of driver update? I don't know when I purchased those Memorex CD-Rs that I'd been using and that worked, but the ones I just bought look a little different, so maybe they are also more advanced in some way?
Maybe 3 or 4 discs that I put in (out of maybe 50) actually did show up on the desktop and when I tried to burn them, started burning as normal. But then about 20 seconds into it, it said something about it not being able to burn.
I have also run Disk First Aid, which told me that there is an invalid PEOF. Could this be creating the problem?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light...

Choose not to include a song in 'shuffle' function

I used to be able to select particular songs which would not get included in random shuffle. I could play all the music on my ipod randomly but avoid playing non-music items on my ipod like audiobooks, iTrip station settings, etc.
Can the latest version of iTunes do this? I can't seem to figure it out?
P.S. I have an ipod mini, but I think that's irrelevant.

ok, I have an iPod video, but this also might work with yours, I'm not too sure
Just select the song you don't want played during the shuffle, right click on it and go to "Get Info" from there go to options, and you should see a box next to where it says "skip while shuffleing", and check the box
that's what I have to do for mine anyways

How to get purchased songs onto Shuffle

I bought 7 songs and can see them in my Library. iTunes will not allow me to drag and drop these onto my iPod (which I can see in Source). How do I get them there?
BTW, had huge problems getting iPod to play at all and I purchased these songs during that time. iPod is now playing songs from MY CDs, I just can't get the ones I purchased on there.
Sorry if this an obvious question.

How do I share songs between shuffles libraries?

We have 2 shuffles, how can we share music?

Are they connected to the same iTunes library? If so, then yes, you can. Simply set up each device to sync whatever content you wish to it. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.

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 take songs off my shuffle?

How do I remove songs from my new iPod shuffle ?

Hi, 5225j.
To remove music from the device, you will need to remove the check from the Sync Music section under the device preference. You also have the ability to only sync certain media. Below, I have included an article that walks you through this process.

My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode. How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?

If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

I have used the same laptop for all three of my iPhones but awhile back this laptop had a virus so my husband wiped it out and now when I sync my iPhone I no longer get my entire music library ( including purchased songs) on my iPhone. How do I fix this?

On the click wheel,on the left and right are the fast foward or rewind buttons. You use those to skip songs in shuffle mode. If you hold on to them, it skips to further or back into your song.

Excluding songs from shuffle, but including in playlists

Is is possible to exclue a song from shuffle mode, yet have it still play in a playlist?
I believe this used to be possible, but I'm unable to do so recently.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Jeff, thank you for your reply. I am aware of how to skip songs while shuffling. Let me try to explain my issue another way.
I have assorted Beethoven, Mozart, other classical music on my ipod. About 50 songs or so. I have deselected them from playing in shuffle mode.
However, I have put them in a separate playlist "classical music" so if the mood should strike, I can listen to them. When I select the "classical music" playlist, it only shows the first song in the list, and now playing 1 of 1, then abuptly stops, even though there are 50 songs in that playlist.
I imagine it is doing this because I have taken them out of shuffle?

Does shuffle include icloud songs?

Here is my issue; I have too many songs for my phone to store completely. I just signed up for iTunes Match and set up to store in the iCloud. When I plug my phone up to my computer, the "On This Phone" section shows that I have roughly 1050 songs on my phone. Each day when i have listened to music all day, I prefer to remove those songs from my phone and add new ones to keep around 1000 songs available on the phone. However, when I do try and remove some of the songs that I've heard that day from the phone, they are already showing the little iCloud emblem which I took to mean that the song was not downloaded "On This Phone". So, are the songs with the download cloud included when I shuffle songs on my phone?
To be honest, it has been much more difficult to keep track of the songs that are "On This Phone" now that I use the cloud and match. It was much easier just to update and sync a playlist every day. I kind of hate to go back to that since I've just paid $25 for iMatch.
I would love any ideas.
Thanks,

To restrict your song list to just songs that have been downloaded to your phone, go to Settings>Music and turn off Show All Music. Then look in the Music app to see which songs are stored on your device. Shuffle will now only include these songs. Turn Show All Music back on when you want to download more songs to your device.
