My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle. It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space. Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

Storage space on the iPod would not affect shuffled playlists or playlist shuffling, though substantially full iPods may wind up skipping songs on larger playlists after a while, and require a restart. As for compressing the files themselves, you can automatically re-encode files to a lower bitrate by checking the box on the summary page when your iPod is connected to your PC/Mac.
As for the shuffle problem, after restarting your iPod (hold the center button and Menu for a few seconds, until the Apple logo appears), make sure you're telling the iPod to shuffle the songs in a playlist by repeatedly clicking the center button until the Suffle Menu comes up, then scroll to the right to turn it on. From that song forward, the playlists' contents should be shuffled every time the playlist ends, or is accessed from a new song.
Shuffle does sometimes turn itself off, I've found, so double-check the setting is still on. Also, iPods shuffle by randomly assigning a playlist order for your songs, which is different from traditional shuffle (on, say, iTunes or Windows Media Player, where the new song is determined at random upon the current track ending. The iPod only chooses a random order of songs when you shuffle, to conserve battery life and queue up songs coming up on the playlist in the event of a shock).

I can no longer create a new playlist on my ipad; it now says "Store" where the new playlist option is supposed to be..?

Can no longer browse TV shows

Since I updated to iTunes 6.0.5 I can no longer browse TV shows in the iTunes store. In the browse window, when I highlight TV shows, it tells me to select a genre. But there are none listed. It works fine if I highlight something else like music videos or audio books, but no TV shows. Is this my problem or a problem with the iTunes store itself?

I think it was a problem with the iTunes site. They fixed it within a day or two, and I've never had the problem again.

With iOS8.1 I can no longer sync MAC iTunes playlists to my iPhone. Purchased new song with iTunes and it is on my MAC but will not update to iPhone when I sync!

With iOS8.1 I can no longer sync my iTunes MAC playlists to my iPhone! I purchased a song on Itunes store and put it into a playlist on my MAC. When I sync (as usual) with my iPhone, the playlist no longer updates to include the new song (i.e., playlist stuck at 16 not 17 songs)... yes, all devices are authorized... If I turn on HOME SHARING it will work, but the moment you disconnect, everything goes away... What is APPLE doing?

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!

HELP-Songs can no longer be dragged into playlists on my Itunes

I have noticed recently that I can no longer click and 'drag' my songs from my library play list, to other playlists on itunes. Is there another way I can transfer specific songs from the library to my playlists? Or is there a way I can fix it so I can continue to drag my songs from the library to other playlists?
Thank you!

Are you trying to drag songs to a regular or a smart playlist? You cannot drag songs to a smart playlist, instead you have to make the tags match the smart playlists conditions (or make the conditions match the tags). If you are having problems dragging to a regular playlist, try opening that playlist in a second window by double clicking on it, move it aside so you can see both iTunes windows, and try dragging the song from the Library into the playlist's window.

Can the Nano shuffle within one playlist only?

I have 4 playlists set-up on my Nano. One for the Gym. One for easy listening. One for Jazz and one for Christmas. I would like to be able to choose one of those playlists and have the Nano shuffle within that playlist only.
When I'm in the gym I don't Christmas music or easy listen to pop up. Unfortunately, when I select shuffle it shuffles all the songs on my Nano.
Is there a way to shuffle within only the playlist I've selected? Thanks.

That does not work for me.
You need to select the playlist and press Play.
Do not select Shuffle songs from the main menu.

Organization Problems. Can no longer put songs in playlists.

First
"Why am I reposting my earlier question?"
ANSWER:
1. I had to post my question a second time because as you can see my first post isn't showing as a question anymore nor does it allow me to recheck the "box" that turns my post into a question.
2. I received suggested answers via a "popup". The answers were dated 2006 and 2008.
3. While some questions may be able to have answers from that long ago, my question requires a 2011 answer.
I knew how to drag songs to my playlist in 2008!
4. The saddest part is while Apple is sending me expired answers from 2006 and 2008, Ask.com already has a thread on this subject.
Second: Please help me with my original question.
How do I select multiple songs and move them to a playlist?
1. I was shocked when I went into Itunes and I could not drag any of my songs from one playlist to another. I clicked and tapped and held down the cntrl/shift key. Until yesterday, I would have told you I was extrememly confident in my Itunes skills. It is one thing to not realize that this would be a problem but then to have NOTHING in the "help box" that addressed this common issue.
2. I teach "Writing in the Workplace" so I know that I exhausted the Itunes "help" box as well as anyone could.
3. I manually manage my music and I am going to continue to manually magage my playlists due to organizational needs.
4. AND I need to move songs to playlists WITHOUT activitating Ping.
5.. I feel like Apple is bullying me into using PING. I say this because the Itunes help section DOES have instructions on how organize my playlist IN PING.

Thanks for responding!
My question is the Headline and Is repeated as the 2nd header.
Second: Please help me with my original question.
How do I select multiple songs and move them to a playlist?
I have songs in my "music" playlist and all I need to do is move them to my "marathon" playlist.
Obviously, there has been an upgrade that changed the basic operation something that has my songs locked in place. However, nothing appears in the "help" that remotely answers my question.
I am just really sad it has taken me so long for something so simple and that I had to post here for something that should have been in "help" before the change was allowed to even happen.
Soooo....too make a short question even longer I had to run my 1/2 marathon without music this morning and I am not closer to getting those pesky music files to move from one playlist to another.
Hope you can help! I got so many hits last night but no one even said "boo". I think it is because my first message was marked "solved"

Can't turn shuffle off in playlist om iPhone 4

Can no longer shuffle through Podcasts after loading iTunes 7

I listen to a lot of podcasts throughout the day. Some are just a few minutes long and some are over an hour. Instead of individually selecting a podcast after each one played I would select Music -> Genres -> Podcasts and then just hit play. My iPod would then randomly and continuously start playing podcasts. I just bought a new 8gb Nano and upgraded to iTunes 7 and this feature no longer seems to work. Am I missing something? Is there something I need to turn on to make it work again? If not, this would be a serious setback for me. Thanks. Mike

Your best bet will be to create a smart playlist somewhere along the lines with: "Podcast is TRUE" and "Play count is 0". There is one more rule you will have to enter, but will depend on whether you want to include video podcasts or not. The last rule to enter would be "Kind is not MPEG-4 Video file" and/or "Kind is not "Quicktime Movie File". If you wish to include video podcasts, ignore the last rule and only enter the "Podcast is true" and Play count is 0" rule. If video podcasts still show up on your playlist, you may have another kind of video file still in your podcast library. Simply right click on View> View Options> then check the box on Kind. Then scroll to see what other types of video files you may have and add them to the "Kind is not ***" rule.
Good luck.

Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

Can you set shuffle by individual playlist in 11.3

I have an iMac running Maverick and I just upgraded iTunes to 11.3. I previously had playlist that I wanted to keep in a certain order for playback so I had shuffle turned off for those specific playlist. I can't seem to find how to stop playback shuffle for those I have chosen to leave in order in this new version.
Let me know if you have the solution.
Thanks

The output from the for command when run in the cmd shell is as expected.
I have tried both batch and command line variable settings in my action script i.e.
for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=. " %i in ('date /T') do echo %k%j%i
and
for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=. " %%i in ('date /T') do echo %%k%%j%%i
with no joy. I suspect that its the Gateway launched shell executor that is having problems with the for do command.
Anyways, using
set todaysdate=%date:~9,4%%date:~6,2%%date:~3,2%
solves my problem. Just curious why the for construct bombs in the resource action.
Thanks. GF

I use the iPad to play backing tracks for my work. I need separate playlist and then to be able to select album just within that so I can play one track at a time. iOS 5 has clumped all my music together and I can no longer do this in playlist. WHY?

To be honest I don't need a lot of people commenting on this. I need Apple to comment because too many people have complained and they seem not to give a stuff. So will I be buying an Apple iPad 2 or 3? NOOOOOO! I suppose the only way is to protest with what I buy and sadly it won't be Apple.

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

HT5706 our apple tv has just automatically updated. since the newest update (5,3) we can no longer see TV shows in the menu options....

anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
There is no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:
USA
If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it is very rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

Why can't I create a new playlist on my iPad?

SSince doing the i0S 8.1 I can no longer create a new playlist or add a recently purchased song to an existing playlist.

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.
