I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

  • I just updated my Apple TV software and now I can't get to iTunes and the menu keeps going back to basic menu.  Software update fail!

    Updated my software when prompted three days ago and as soon as the update was finished the basic screen came up with main menu.  However, when I selected "Podcasts", "TV" or "Movies" the screen goes black and the same home screen comes up again.  The only things that work are HuluPlus and Netflix and all non-iTunes icons.  I can't buy anything from the iStore so if Apple wants me to keep iShopping at the iStore and take my iMoney you might want to make a patch available quickly.

    I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu.   Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in.  I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
    FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
    Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.

  • Updated to 3.6.15 and now I can't get anything java to run

    Ever since I updated to v. 3.6.15 (from 3.6.13, never ud'd to .14) I can't get anything that uses java to load. I just get a white screen and nothing else. This seems to be exactly what happened to people when they ud'd to .14, and the fix is suppose to be .15, but that's what hosed my java!
    I have uninstalled and gone back to .13, and I've reinstalled java. I even updated again to .15 and nothing is fixing it.
    When I uninstalled I left all my fav's and info in my folder.
    My OS is XP home. And I can get java to work via IE.
    Please help! I wan't my Firefox back!

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

  • I have my iphone 4S backed up to icloud and now I can not get any calender information at all previous to September 2012.  I had last backed it up at the end of January and Calender saved to icloud is "on".  How can I retrieve my calenders?  Help now!

    Help!  I recorded odometer readings on my work calender on my iphone 4S all last year and now my calenders are blank from September2012 and earlier.  It is backed up to icloud.  What happened and can I get that information back somehow?

    Go to iCloud.com, select the calendar.
    Is the information listed in the calendar?
    If it is, it should be syncing to the device.
    If it is not, then that information is gone.

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • Updated to new itunes software and now it won't stop auto-restarting

    Ok, I thought that the problems with version10 software had been fixed, so I went ahead and allowed it to upgrade itself to version 10.5.2.11, Windows7 64-bit version.  And, unfortunately, I see that the problems with version10 have not been resolved. 
    My particular problem is that the itunes constant auto-starts.  With or without my device connected.  The software on my PC just starts up.  If I don't use it at all from when my computer first boots up, then it stays quiet.  But once it has been ran by actually running the program or plugging in a device, you cannot get rid of it.  If you exit the software, it just starts up again a couple seconds later.  You literally have to go into the task manager and shut down the process tree to get it to stop. 
    I have done a full reset on my iPod, before I realized it would do it without any device connected.
    I repaired the iTunes installation.
    I removed & reinstalled the iTunes installation.
    Nothing makes any difference at all.  No settings, nothing. 
    Any suggestions or does a fix already exist for this?
    thanks

    Only thing i suggest as i had similar issues is to restore the phone! using itunes and then continue as a new install and not as a back from..
    Or forget the network and search again!

  • I"m in canada and i download itunes uk and now i can't get back to my iTunes canada account. Please help.

    Help.
    I was trying to down load a song from Itunes in UK that's not available in Canada but now its overridden my itunes account in Canada. How do i restore my Canadian itunes default?

    It is a violation of the terms of service of itunes to use an itunes store from another country.  If you did this, then itunes could deactivate your account.
    You need to make sure that all of your Canada information is in your account.

  • Performed software update and now I can't get past a window with Itunes logo and usb picture?

    When I powered up the Ipad this morning, there was a software update notification.  After completing the update, the Ipad won't boot past a screen that has the Itunes logo and a USB cord just below it.  I've powered off and it still wont get past this screen.

    Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately, it did not work.  Restore was unsuccessful and now I can't get iTunes to stay open long enough to attempt a second restore.   I've just posted a new question with more details of what I've tried.

    Icloud uses you Apple ID. It one of the Key feature on the new ATV. Restart the ATV, if that doesn't work unplug it and restart it. It should resolve the issue
