IPod software needs to give more shuffle options
Hi,
I'm pretty sure current iPod software can't do this so I think what I'm posting here is an enhancement request. However if you know how I can achieve what I want I will love you forever!
My iPod listening time is split roughly 50/50 between Albums and Playlists. When I listen to an album I want the tracks to play in the proper order but when I choose a playlist I want the songs to be shuffled. Right now I have to manually change Settings... Shuffle every time and it's a real pain.
Apple: could we have more shuffle options such as
Shuffle:
Albums = No
Playlists = Songs
Thanks
You are correct, the iPod has no such setting.

Need to give REVOKE CLOSE option in CO02 only for selective users
Hello,
Need to Restrict Revoke Close Option in Tcode CO02 (Under Functions - Restrict Processing - Revoke Close) through Role/Object Level. Can any one suggest how to control this . Need to give access for CO02 for 5 Users , but only 2 Users can able to do Revoke Close Option , other 3 Users should not able to do this activity.
BR,
MuraliThere is no authorization object as B_USERSTAT_T , but there is a authorization object as B_USERSTAT . I tried to create a Temporary Role and manually assigned this Object . In this object there is no way to control REVOKE Close option .
But there is one way noted in Google to restrict Revoke Close option .
1.Goto BS22
2.Select the system status TEC0 (I0045) & just duble click it,
3.Maintain the Revoke technical completion (BUTA) =Forbidd (not allowed),
But if i set the above Parameter , this will restrict Revoke Option for all the users . I need to control ONLY for selective users . I can set some value in user data for those users , based on that i can write some coding to restrict , but i want to know where to write this code .... I tried in some area , but it never works.
Can any one give some idea to fix this issue.

IPod Software - needed after update?
Quick question about the iPod software updater. Does anyone know if I really need it on my computer to run my iPod on the computer? It takes up 171 MB on my work computer and I think that's what is slowing the computer down. It's by far the largest file on the computer.
Also -is it okay to delete the old updates? They also take up 170+ MB.
Cheers.You need the current one on your computer (2006-06-28). Keep it there.
You can uninstall the older iPod Updaters. The only "con" to this is that if you ever want to use an older version of iPod software (such as 1.0 or 1.1.1), you won't be able to.

5G iPod Software 1.1 Update - More BUGS than FIXES!
I just updated my 5G (mac format) iPod to software version 1.1 and right away noticed that someone bungled up BIG TIME!
To start with -- holding down the MENU button doesn't toggle the backlight anymore!
Next -- try clicking in the NOW PLAYING MENU quickly with the CENTRE BUTTON... Are you seeing stars yet?? The menu repeats itself endlessly.
I dunno how Apple could have gotten this so horribly wrong. I expect iPod Software Update 1.2 for the 5G iPods tomorrow!!Has anyone found the Video problem yet?
Try playing a video, wait for 20 seconds and then a big fat nothing. Video freezes and then it starts to play but without sound. Has anyone found this to happen. I have re-installed the software several times with the same result.
Hey Apple are you listening? Thanks a lot for screwing up my iPod. Time to think of a new brand. -

Hello pib1617,
iTunes Match can be enabled on your iPod Touch via Settings -> iTunes & App Store.
Turn on iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Sign in if you haven’t already.

Your Ipod Software Needs Updated
Is there any way to kake this popup box stop asking me to update my software everytime I plug my Ipod in ? I downgraded to 1.0 version to fix my 60gb 5G video freeze problem. Now I have to wait for this stupid box to pop up and cancel it everytime. I'm tired of it. Thanks in advance.
It does stop on the Mac after you have it downloaded but not installed on the iPod.

Now this should be an easy one !! IPOD Software needs reinstalling...
Hello
I have an IPOD Nano, and it was installed on my PC, an
IBM 266 Laptop, with Windows XP Pro. Unfortunately a problem has occurred.. I now find on clicking the itunes icon that "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
I have tried to reinstall from the Control Panel, and have done what I thought was a complete reinstall, but still the same message comes back. I suspect that Quicktime is not properly installed. The only option seems to me to
manually delete every ipod file, until the computer is clear, then reinstall. The only problem is, I don't want to lose the music files that are already on the Nano.
Can anyone advise, please ?
Windows XP> Removing iTunes will not remove anything from the
iPod (especiaslly if it's not connected).
Removing iTunes will also not delete any music files
from the computer.
Use Control Panel to remove iTunes.
Restart the computer, then reinstall it.
Thanks Chris for your prompt reply !, but won't removing itunes from my computer also delete the synchronised library, meaning that when I reinstall, and then reconnect the ipod to the computer, it will lead to the files on the ipod being deleted ?
Kind regards

My iPod doesn't give me any choice to access the camera. I have tried sownloading a camera app and restarting my iPod but when I had the camera app the screen just turned black. Any idea what's going on?
Try the following:
- A reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
My IPOD touch doesn't give me the option to click on WIFI.
I found this IPOD not to long ago.
And I really want to use it to go on social networks on such and play games.
BUT, It doesn't let me click on the WIFI settings.
I reset it. Deleted everything from there.
I go to Settings>General>Network> It still does't work.
I reset the network settings. Still nothing.
Version- 4.2.1 (8C148)
Model- MB528LL
What can I do to fix this. Please help. I have no money to go to an APPLE store to fix it.See here: iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
However, as the article says, this is often signs of a hardware issue with the iPod's Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna. You'll need to have the iPod either serviced or replaced.

IPod volume needs to be more consistent and louder. Ideas anyone?
I am really impressed with the revolutionary achievement of Apple's iPod. Yet, I'm bothered by the difficulty of managing its volume.
Even with Sound Check turned on, there's quite a bit of discrepancy between the volume of older or classical recordings and newer, pop-rock songs purchased from the iTunes Store. I purchased and tried the "iVolume" shareware recommended in other discussions, but it has no effect on the "Protected" music files from the iTunes Store. The best I've been able to do is adjust individual songs with the volume tab in the Get Info window, and that's tedious and hit-or-miss, especially without some kind of volume meter.
Then, ever since an iTunes update introduced a volume limiter (to protect the eardrums of those headset users too reckless to care for themselves), I can't raise the volume of my iPod to match my car radio. Switching from the iPod to the radio produces a loud radio blast that hurts MY eardrums!
Has anyone discovered a fix for these problems?
Thanks.John, I've been there and done that. Allow me to repeat what I said in my question: turning on Sound Check does not resolve the issue.
Perhaps it works for you -- if all your music is within the same genre or of about the same age. But I have a somewhat eclectic library -- Pop, Rock, Country, Classical, Oldies, New Age, Easy Listening, Big Band, Soundtracks, etc., etc. With this mix, Sound Check has minimal effect.
Moreover, I still have the problem of being unable to set the main volume level high enough to be compatible with the car radio. This was not a problem with earlier versions of iTunes. It is likely that a code exists to unwrite the code that introduced the volume limitation. I'm hoping that someone can tell me how to do that.
Thanks, though, for submitting your suggestion. It probably will be helpful to others reading this thread.

Frequency of Song Playback in iTunes using Shuffle Option
I have approximately 800 songs in iTunes and on my iPod, and I enjoy using the "shuffle" option for all of the music - all genres together. However, there are some songs that I would like to hear more frequently than others during the shuffle. I noticed a "rating" category in my iTunes library. Does this have anything to do with how frequently a song would play during shuffle? For example, if I rated a song a 5, would it play more frequently? If not, does anyone know how to set this up? I think I read about it somewhere, but now I can't figure out how to do it.... maybe it can't be done?
Windows XPI don't think the rating changes how frequently songs come up in shuffle, but it does then add the highest-rated songs to the "My Top Rated" playlist...

Problem with video after installing ipod software update 1.2
I recently downloaded the ipod software update version 1.2 for my ipod. It seems to have changed the video screen output as some of my videos now do not play full screen and instead have black boarders down each side of the screen while playing.
At first I thought switching off the widescreen option in the video settings screen would fix the problem but doing this cuts off a large portion of the picture at the top and bottom of the screen. I can only assume this change in screen ratio came with the update and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix this problem or if it will be fixed in the next ipod software update with some kind of option to switch screen ratios in the video settings menu.
I would like to keep updating my ipod but have since reset it so icould get full screen video playback and have been avioding the updates incase it happens again.hmmmm. were those videos that you converted yourself
with QT Pro, alg2? if so, it might be worth checking
on the possibility from this document:
QuickTime Pro: DV format movies may require
adjustment for iPod
(if the source files were DV PAL, that can produce
the "bars down the side" effect ... unlike NTSC where
you get the "bars along the top" effect shown in the
graphic in the document.)
I did convert them myself but but not with quicktime pro will this solution still apply if were to purchase QT Pro or should i contact the company i bought my programme from. -
How to give more relevance to one of the column in multicolumn datastore

While using multicolumn datastore needed to give more importance to one of the column than the other one. How can we achieve the same ?

Index created.Here while querying how can I give more relevance to text1 column than text2 column ?Every time that you post code, whatever you are using eliminates all formatting and changes any multiple spaces to single spaces, so it makes it hard to tell what your code really is. Within the function, you need to remove the special characters and double spaces before you use the string for anything else. In the first part of your output string, you were only putting a % in front of the first word and after the last word. I fixed it so that it puts % before and after every word. I also added some code to return a score of 100 when an exact match is found in any column. You can use the function in a select from dual to see what it is returning. Please see the demonstration below. I will provide a copy of the function in a separate post that you can copy and paste. You may want to adjust the values that you multiply by. The values of 10 and 5 and .5 and .1 were just examples.
