IPhone 4s shuffles every playlist and album with shuffle off

My iPhone 4s shuffles every album and playlist.  It just started happening randomly.  Shuffle is NOT on.  I have turned off the shake shuffle and shuffle is not on on any of the playlists or albums.  Locking the phone does not solve the problem.  I have reloaded my entire music library, twice.  Out of sequence albums are barely listenable at best.  I have seen lots of suggestions that I somehow turned shuffle on but it definitely is NOT.

In Settings the only Shuffle feature is "Shake to Shuffle", you're sure that's off?  How about the Now Playing screen, is the shuffle icon blue or white? ( the criss-cross arrows below and to the right of the scrubber bar)
Or, is the problem that the song order in your playlists don't match what you see in iTunes?  If this is the case, there is a bug in iTunes and/or iOS that causes playlists to get out of order.  The fix for that seems to be to re-create the playlists and delete the originals, then re-sync.

  • IPhone iOS 7 Music Playlist and Album Cover Problems

    I have had problems with my iPhone 4 ever since the iOS 7 update, especially with music. I have tried making playlists for my music from my mac and syncing it with my phone and the playlists never sync correctly. I then tried it the other way and created the playlists on my phone and tried syncing it but it still doen't sync correctly. Another problem that may or may not be connected to this issue is that the pictures of the albums in my music, videos, and movies are all switched around between eachother and none of them are correct.

    Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
    Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video.  How do I rid myself of that?
    Your support is much appreciated. 
    Thank you

  • IPhone plays only one playlist and won't others

    Hi guys,
    can anyone help me; I have my iPhone for so long time, always updated with latest version of software, but recently after latest update 3.1.3. iPod plays only one playlist and won't play any other. Also can't enter any other artist file or videos. When I try to, Ipod closes! The rest of phone works fine.
    Could it be problem with latest update? How can I reset latest update?
    Thanks!

    The latest update works fine for most people, but your's might not have been applied correctly for some reason.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in order:
    Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Is there a iphone 6 that is unlocked and compatible with the sprint SIM card?

    ok so my Galaxy s4 caught on fire the other day while I was sleeping. And so now instead of getting another galaxy that might do the same thing I'm switching to apple. Now my question is, is there an iphone 6 that is unlocked an compatible with the sprint SIM card. Because my SIM card from the galaxy is still good, but I don't want to go to sprint and get it from them because I'm switching carries in a year.

    Iphone does NOT store to the SIM at all.
    You should be syncing iphone to your computer regularly so all of your contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • My Iphone vibrates after upgrading to IO6 even with vibration off

    After upgradin my Iphon 4 to io6 it vibrates even with vibration turned off.  What gives?

    back up to itunes, erase phone, set up as new, and then restore from itunes backup. This should fix the issues. If not then make an appointment with Apple because you have a hardware issue.

  • IPhone 5 keeps taking screenshots and trying to switch off. Any advice?

    My iPhone 5 keeps taking screenshots and going onto the screen where you can swipe to turn off the phone. I have read online that this has been an issue with other iPhones, however I have failed to solve the problem. Any advice? (I have already tried to restart the phone several times)

    Hi CassidyMustang,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Sleep/Wake (lock) button is unexpectedly taking screenshots, first try holding the button down until "Slide to power off" appears, and restart your iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are not able to restart, try to reset your iPhone by holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake button for at least ten seconds.
    If the behavior continues or you can't reset your iPhone, back up and restore it next:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • IPhone sync unkown erro (-50) and albums not shown to select

    I am using iPhone 3.0.1, iTunes 8.2.1(6) and iPhoto 8.1(415) with OSX 8.5.8. Since the latest iPhoto software update I have started to get iPhone sync - unable to sync messages with unknown error (-50). I also discover I can no longer see Albums to select for photo sync. I have disabled Intego Virusbarrier realtime scanning, reinstalled iTunes,restarted iTunes, Mac and iPhone. Stillhave the problem although with iPhot sync off, the sync completes sometimes. There are no new photos involved.
    Help welcome

    Same problem here, no Iphoto albums. Spent 1.5 hours with Apple Support. They are well aware of the problem, but as per usual, they have not posted any information about it.
    You are correct that the problem is due to music in your Iphoto Slide Shows. The tech suggested editing the lines containing the songs out of the AlbumData.xml file within Iphoto and then deleting the slideshows. Pretty cumbersome approach if you have numerous photos and slide shows.
    If simply turning the music off on you slide shows works for your great!!! Otherwise, expect a fix in the next update, whenever that occurs.

  • Problem trying to update to iPhone OS 3.1.3 and issues with paid apps

    Hi,
    I bought my iPhone 3GS when my old dumbphone died and have thouroughly enjoyed the experience. I've been having a couple of minor issues which I've been wondering about of late:
    1) I know the 3.1.3 update came out some time ago, but I sync my iPhone and it won't ever update. I tried to manually do it (i.e. pressing the button that says "Check for update" in iTunes->iPhone but it just says "3.1.2 is current". At first I thought it was something to do with the apps because around the time the update came out an error message appeared when I synced that said something about the apps not being able to be installed. I was perplexed because my iPhone had all its apps working, so I thought maybe that's why it won't update and clicked on "More Information". I followed the instructions to save all the apps in my computer, then deauthorize and reauthorize my computer and sync my iPhone. This solved the error message issue, but it still won't update. So, is it something with where I live (Puerto Rico)? I want the update, but I just can't get it.
    2) Whenever I try to buy an app whether it's thru the app store on the iPhone or on iTunes, I can't because apparently it won't let me use my debit card. It's a Visa debit card and I have used it for all my internet purchases over the last year and it's always worked. I contacted a support person at Apple but all they could tell me was that the bank was for some reason not allowing them to access the funds, and that I should just buy a gift card and use that. Anybody else have this kind of problem?
    Thanks!

    Well? Does anyone know what I can do to upgrade to 3.1.3???

  • IPhone will not synch contacts and calendar with Outlook after upgrade to 4

    I have been using an ACT! database on a PC for years, synching to Outlook with CompanionLink, and synching my iPhone to Outlook. After upgrading my iPhone to 4.0, I can no longer synch my contacts and calendar from Outlook. It "goes through the motions," appearing to be synching. But in the end, nothing changes. I have reloaded iTunes. The problem is between Outlook and the phone (the synch from ACT! to Outlook is fine).

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
    Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.
