HT1535 I want to load a playlist onto an iPod Shuffle that plays in a specific order. (The ipod is not on the shuffle mode but it keeps changing the desried order. I'm going crazy!

I've created a playlist in iTunes for someone in a specific order. I've bought them an iPod shuffle and have downloaded the playlist onto the iPod. Unfortunately, the iPod shuffle then reorders the paylist and it also plays in another order. The shuffle function is switched off, so I don't elieve it is anything to do with that!
It's driving me crazy! Please help!!!

Which shuffle model do you have? This document shows the four types

Assuming it is the current 4th gen shuffle (or 3rd gen), if you want to play songs from a playlist on the shuffle, in playlist order, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. By default, the shuffle plays songs from the All Songs list. When you set the power switch to play-in-order, the All Songs list plays songs alphabetically.
This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on the shuffle.

If that playlist is selected, and the power switch is set to play-in-order, the shuffle plays the songs in playlist order.

I have rhapsody25 and want to import my playlists onto my ipod 2 - can I?

I have a free rhapsody account (rhapsody25) - not a subscription. I want to imort that music onto my ipod. The rhapsody app said I had to have a subscription. How can I get my rhapsody music onto my ipod?

Brett,
The Rhapsody subscriptions are not compatible with iTunes.
If you have purchased any regular MP3s from Rhapsody, they can be added to your iTunes library and synced to your iPod in the normal fashion.

I'd like to load my playlists into my ipod, and not the library, but how?

Hi.
I recently bought an ipod and I have been filling iTunes with my CDs. Now there are more GBs in iTunes than my ipod can handle. Which is fine by me. But now I would like import the playlists I've made in iTunes to my ipod, but leave the iTunes library behind, too big anyway. Would anyone, please, direct me on how to do just this?
Another side to this problem is how can I order iTunes to begin by importing the playlists, and once that is done, to fill the rest of the ipod with stuff from the library. In short: How can I prioritize the imports from iTunes to the ipod? Thanks in advance.

If you cannot run the Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the Blu-Ray player, the next best option would be to use a pair of Ethernet power line adapters.
One adapter plugs into an AC wall socket near the Time Capsule and a short Ethernet cable connects from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to the adapter.
The other adapter plugs into an AC wall socket near the Blu-Ray player and a short Ethernet cable connects from the adapter to the Ethernet port on the Blu-Ray player.
The "psedo" Ethernet signal is transmitted over the AC power lines in your home. Works great as long as everything is on the same master electrical circuit.
Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of power line adapters to choose from. I've had good results using products from Cisco-Linksys or Netgear, but I'm sure there are other good choices as well.

How do I load a playlist onto my 4th gen shuffle using itunes 11?

I have a 4th generation shuffle, and just installed itunes 11.
It's ludicrous that the shuffle doesn't allow you to reorder your music (or in my case audiobooks) manually, or even to resort by album/disc/track #.
Even so, at least in iTunes 10 you could easily load a playlist onto it.
WIth the new iTunes, that process has become less obvious.
Is there a way to load a playlist onto the 4th generation shuffle using iTunes 11? Alternatively, is there a way to reorder the music on the shuffle manually or by sorting in iTunes? Is there some other trick to be able to list to my audiobook in order without renaming the 500 tracks it's divided into?
Note to Apple: This really shouldn't be that hard.

The "easiest" way to do this is to enable voiceover & sync your ipod to whichever playlist you want. When it's syncd, go to the summary tab & check Manually manage music, then apply & sync. After ejecting the ipod, turn it on. The songs will still be out of order, but press & hold the voiceover button. First it'll say "all music", then when it says the name of your playlist, release the voiceover button & press play. The songs should be in the order you want them to be.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

Wanted to load an app onto my wife's ipad. BUT, the program keeps saying I've already purchsaed it and will not let me purchase again. I've tried everything I can think of. Now looking at wiping ipad competely and starting over but not sure that'll help. Between the time I purchased the app and now, I had to change password's w/Apple (Stupid system in the first place IMO) and it doesn;t liek new password

I can find the app, but the free version only. I paid for the upgrade ($1.99) on my ipad and now I want to add it (or buuy it) for my wife's ipda, but it will not allow me

Not sure if this is a iCloud or Wi-fi issue. Why can't I put my new playlists onto my iPod Touch?

Hello!
A month or so ago, I bought a new MacBook Pro for myself, an iMac for the wife, a 2TB TimeCapsule iCloud and Music Match. The whole 9 yards. Since then, I have't been able to put new playlists onto my iPod Touch. When I plug it in and switch to the "Music" tab for the iPod, I get " iTunes Match is On. Brian's Newest iPod can access music in iCloud. Songs can be downloaded and played via Wi-Fi or a cellular network."
Well, no I can't. The reason I know this is because yesterday, I was given two brand new music CDs, which I uploaded onto the MacBook Pro. Made a new "AC/DC" playlist and everthing. And now I can't get this playlist or any new playlist onto my Pod. Looking for "AC/DC" under the "Artist" tab or "Back in Black" on my iPod does't work either.
This is Gawd-Awful annoying. I don't WANT to play everything from Wi-Fi or cellular network. (Don't need/want an iPhone-that shouldn't count again me, should it?) The whole point of buying a 32 GB iPod was because I am usually not on a network of any type during most of my day. How do I get the stinkin' music onto it?
Maybe I am missing the point of both iCloud and Music Match. I thought the second allowed me to download better versions of all the songs I have on my computers. (Was that payment a one-time thing or will I have to pony up each year, btw?) And iCloud meant that I could listen to any and all of my songs on anything with an Apple Logo on it via wi-fi. But is that the only way?
Okay, done ranting now.
Thanks.
Brian

Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

Cannot load my library onto my ipod since getting icloud? Itunes states that I need to download from icloud? Can I not use my ipod as I did pre-icloud?

You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

Not only this but I can't drag from Itunes and place anywhere on my desktop or onto an external drive. Apple, why are you screwing around with basic functions!? I'm a dj and I need to be able to manage my music files without you ruining my life! FIX THIS!

I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

After downloading the latest update, my playlists now go into shuffle mode everytime I try to play. I have turn6ed off shuffle on both my computer and ipod, and even tried recreating a new list, to no avail. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play. I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck. I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened. Any ideas on how to fix?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

Why? Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

Live with the phone as is.
Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.
