IPod nano 1.2 - Album shuffle broken

Hi, not sure if it's just me, but Album Shuffle is broken on my nano using the 1.2 firmware. Going to Shuffle songs on the main menu shuffles by song regardless of what is set in the settings.
To confirm, I did a full restore to 1.2, added some albums, set setting to Shuffle By Albums and hit shuffle in the main menu. It shuffles by song. Reverted to 1.1.1 with a full restore and repeated - now correctly shuffles by album. As I like to listen to albums in a row, I'm going to have to stick with 1.1.1 for the moment.
Anyone else see this?

You are right, I have the same problem with Album Shuffle being broken with the v1.2 software. I reported it to Apple via the Nano Feedback form.
When setting Settings > Shuffle > Albums, pressing "Shuffle Songs" on the main menu causes it to shuffle by songs only.
The only way I was able to shuffle by albums in v1.2 that I could find is this:
1. Settings > Shuffle, and set option to "Albums"
2. Make sure no song is playing or paused from main menu
3. Select "Music" and press the Play button
4. Albums will play using album shuffle as they should.
The problem is, it's difficult to get back to this state of nothing playing if you've selected "Shuffle Songs"; it won't work if "Now Playing" is shown on your main menu. I found that using the Back arrow to go back to the beginning of the shuffle stopped it from playing and then you can follow the steps above.
I hope Apple fixes this bug soon, it's REALLY annoying!

HT1339 For some unknown reason my Ipod,Nano no longer will shuffle the tunes, can anyone help me fix this?

My IPod, Nano will no longer shuffle the tunes, instead it simply plays one tune over and over, can anyone help me fix this problem?

It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

IPod nano 7G issues with shuffle function

Dear all,
I just bought a 7G iPod nano. Altogether it's great but I have a couple of issues I would like to comment with you:
1. I sometimes use the "shake to shuffle" function, but when I go and turn it OFF, the shuffle function still remains (although not in the "shake" mode), and I must turn it off manually by tapping on the screen while a song is playing, and de-selecting it. Does this happen to you?
2. When I pair the iPod nano 7G to my car through bluetooth, after listening to any album up until the end, it then suddenly pauses, then starts playing again but in a shuffle mode, without me having done or touched anything. So after the end of any album, it just turns on the shuffle mode automatically. My car stereo system is a 2012 Mercedes Benz Audio 20 system, which has both A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Has anyone experienced something similar?
It's sounded like fun to listen to the iPod wirelessly in the car, but I must say that the bluetooth functionalities are so limited (play, stop, next track, last track) that it quicly becomes quite boring. I wish it had all the browsing controls like when you plug it in...Any comments?
Thanks a lot in advance for you help with these issues,
CCCP

im having the same problem. I drive a 203 c class with audio 20 and for some reason the media interface wont sync with my ipod. The bluetooth works fine but when i try to plug it via the media interface cables, it only charges....

Ipod Nano is Stuck in Shuffle Mode in my Nissan Juke

I plug my Ipod Nano into the glove box and I am able to use the control on my dash and steering wheel to control my Ipod. The only problem is, I can't go to whatever artist I want. The Ipod will only allow me to listen to the songs in shuffle mode. Anyone having the same issue or know anything about it?

I have the same problem with my 6g when connecting to my Ford Fusion. It shuffles everything.
I have:
-- performed a "master reset" on Sync
-- updated Sync software
-- restored my new ipod through iTunes
-- restored the settings on the ipod itself
-- updated ipod software
-- *disabled the "shuffle" options for Sync*
-- *turned off the "Shake to Shuffle" option on my new ipod*
-- indexed the music on my iPod (through iTunes) in this order: genre, artist, album, track
...and it still shuffles my music. I don't believe it's Sync because I had a 2nd generation iPod too. It works with Ford's Sync with no problems.
So, this is the same issue with the 6 generation iPod nano with 2 different car companies and 2 different vehicle models:
--Nissan Juke
--Ford Fusion
I think it's a bug that needs addressing.

Even though my itunes is set correctly, my ipod nano still separates albums

Even though my itunes is set correctly, my ipod nano gen 6 still separates albums

Perhaps a read through of this page will help you clear things up. Sorting in iTunes compared to sorting on your iPod is a bit different in terms of how it is handled.

Ipod nano 7th Gen Album Listings

I have an album (CD) that has tunes by one artist and for one there is a co-artist. When I sync to my nano two albums are listed on the Ipod - 1 for the main artist's tunes and 1 for the main artist and co-artist's tune. How do I get all tunes to list under one Album title on my IPod? I know Ican use "Various artists" for a CD that has many artists, but my situation doesn't really fit this scenario.

After discussion with Apple Support I have found that the trick is to give the album an "Artist Name" (using "Get info"). This will keep all the songs from an album together as a single album on the iPod

Ipod nano 4G same albums duplicated many times in album list

I have a nano 4G 8GB and have loaded up some music on it, about 50 odd albums so far, whenever I scroll through the album list it keeps showing 4 albums in duplicate, it's as if there are about 10 copies of each album.
It scrolls through ok then 2 album covers and details appear over and over, then it goes normally, listing albums as it should, then another 2 albums appear over and over, at the moment it is just 4 albums that is doing it.
It only does this when scrolling through the album list, never does it when in cover flow mode, I have reset the ipod and reinstalled the software on it and it still does it, would removing and installing the affected albums correct this problem ?

Similar problem here. I just imported a cd of 17 songs. I entered the info for each song by typing the album name of all 17 and then typed the song titles. I synced to my old Nano and no problem but on my new Nano 6th generation, it separated each song individualy, soooo, I cannot search that album and play it, only one song at a time. Frustrating.

Shuffle Playing iPod Nano Playlist

I was wondering if it was possible to play iPod Nano playlists in a "shuffle" mode. I can successfully play my entire music archive that is on the iPod in "shuffle" mode, but I would like to be able to just play a certain playlist in "shuffle" mode. Thanks for any information on this question.

Yes it can be done.
Menu, Settings, Shuffle - Off, Songs, Albums
Then go back and select your playlist and start it going.

How can I delete albums from my ipod nano 9th gen

How can I get Ipod nano to display Albums when connected to itunes?
How can I delete Albums from my ipod.....either using the device stand alone or when connected via itunes?
Both the above actions are easy using other devices and software ( Samsung MP3 and Windows Media Player...for example)
But after a year of owning my Nano I still cannot figure out how to do either of these tasks.

Just re read myoriginal question and realised I had not explained what I want to do very well.....
If I connect my ipod 9th gen to itunes.
How do I get it (itunes) to display albums and then delete them?
Finding them amongst the many thousands of track listing and then deleting them one track at a time is extremly tedious........
Surely there must be a way I can get itunes to display albums and the pick the one I want to delete?

Video podcasts and iPod Nano

Hi everybody!
Why can't I add video podcasts to my iPod nano 4GB ?

no...i don't becuase, like all good marketing, they have certain products with certain features.
Such as,
Ipod Nano = incredibly small, album art, and a good amount of music
ipod Video= little big but the screen needs to be big for video capabilities. They can also get more money for something like this.
and plus if nano had video, it be hard to see...the screen is extremely small.

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen.q

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement digitizer metal bezel for an iPod nano 7th gen That was broken (in 2 places) during disassembly.
The lcd screen and digitizer were both replaced but the top 1/3 inch of the screen doesn't respond to any touch.

They have 2 parts for sale for the nano 7th gen. Ac adapter and charging cable. I need to find one of those Chinese parts sites, they seem to have items that you cannot find in the states yet.
