How to shuffle playlists BEFORE syncing with your device?  The new software doesn't seem to have that feature...

Does anyone know how to shuffle a playlist BEFORE you sync the iPod with iTunes?  With the new software, I don't think iTunes has the option anymore.

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices.  It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters.  They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!

    I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • How can I use mail merge with numbers in the new pages version?

    I am trying to use mail merge with the new version of pages and can not seem to be able to figure it out. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

    Although the official Facebook app doesn't work with the iPhone 3G, there are some apps which claim they are compatible. Here are two you can try:
    Friends Planet 2
    Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat
    There are a lot of apps and games which are compatible with your older device. You just need a tool to separate them from the incompatible apps.
    Here is my favorite solution:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    And here are some things other people have suggested:
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Help! During sync with my BB8100 & the new version of BDM for my brand new Mac all my mobile contacts got erased on my mobile!

    Please help. Tried to sync my extensive list of contacts from my BB to my brand new MacBook Pro using the BB DM I just downloaded and it erased all my contacts, notes, and calendar listings from my BB! And it is not available on my macbook pro. There were no entries on my mac book pro since it's brand new. How can i restore my address book on my blackberry? Is this erased for ever?
    Not very technically savvy and I performed no back up. Hoping for a miracle.

    Hi - Can you please provide some additional information. When I go into preferences and choose Accounts, nothing is there. When I go to add an account, it prompts me for a username, password and server information. What needs to be entered in these fields? I tried my Mobile Me account name and password, but it didn't work - wanted server information. I have no idea what this would be. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but when I try sync with my iPod nano, the new song doesn't show up.

    I purchased a tune on iTunes that shows up in my iTunes playlist on my PC but I tried many times to sync my iPod with iTunes and the new song doesn't show up in my iPod.
    Any idea how to fix that?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hello there Beluga111,
    It sounds like you have a newly purchased song that is not syncing to your iPod Nano, but there is no error message. I would start by restarting your computer, and resetting your iPod with this article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    Sync the device again, and if the issue persists, I would restore the iPod Nano with this article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

    how do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

    I am assuming you have the key number, but not the actual software.  Like you I have the key number (my key number good for 3 Macs), but didn't want to dig out the disc to install on another Mac.  Going to Office's site I couldn't find any links to download Office, so I had to get the disc to load the program.  Once that's done the Office installer will ask for your key number.

    i have submit my request since 6 hours, is that normal??

    from what i hear, it takes a minimum of 72 hours before you hear back from Apple.
    but because there are a lot of people are wanting to get their free upgrades, it might take even longer now.
    good luck - just be a little patient and your turn will come soon....

    Shouldn't be difficult but can help if you tell us what options you picked on how you want to sync your music as there is more than on option/way.

  • You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    You used to be able to shuffle a playlist and see the order in which the songs would sync into your iPod.  I haven't been able to figure that out. Can anyone help me?

    With your playlist in "List view", click on the header over the column of numbers all the way to the left.  This will then reveal the true playback (and sync) order.
    However, the sort order in iTunes may not agree with the sort order on your device, but that is a separate issue and seems to have too many variables to go into here.

  • How to keep a playlist in sync with iPhone over iCloud

    I love being able to store all my music in the cloud with iCloud. The only problem is that I want to use iCloud to keep a selected playlist in sync with my iPhone because I only want about 500 of my 2000 songs stored on my iPhone. It is easy to do this if I use WiFi sync but I would like to be able to access my other songs when I am on Wifi through iCloud because really, thats what I'm paying for with iCloud. Has anyone found a work around to this issue?
    Thanks

    With iTunes Match your music is simultaneously downloaded to your phone when you play it.  As soon as you play a song not on your playlist, it will be downloaded too.  There isn't a way at the present time to keep only certain songs on the phone, then only stream the rest.  Perhaps the ability to do this will be included in a future update.  If you would like to see this change you can let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.
