If resetting doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.

  • 80gb Video iPod Stuck in Shuffle...

    I have an issue where my iPod seems to be stuck in shuffle mode no matter what I do. I have set Shuffle to Off in the settings and whenever I go into an album or artist it still shuffles everything and if the album is less than a certain amount of songs it just goes back to album selection screen after scanning through.
    Anyone else have any issues like this?
    Thanks.

    Haven't tried to reset yet..as my main pc is at home and I am not...
    But here is what I think is happening..if anyone knows this for a fact please let me know:
    My iPod has the same settings for a playlist as in iTunes..so if in iTunes the playlist is set to shuffle...no matter what you set on the iPod it will shuffle that playlist.
    Least that is what I can think of for my situation right now..as I have one playlist that is behaving properly...but others still shuffle...and just by selecting an album in Music causes shuffle too...so maybe they are related in some aspect with iTunes settings.

  • IPod Nano Model MD481ZP Stuck on Shuffle

    Hi, my iPod Nano is stuck on shuffle, even though all the shuffle settings are turned off. Would anyone happen to have a solution for this? Thank you for your time.

  • Ihome stuck on shuffle

    Whenever I try to use my ihome with my iPod touch (alarm is set to playlist), the iPod is stuck in shuffle, and when I try to fix it, the music app just displays the message 'accessory connected!' it also disables the repeat mode after it is disconnected! How do I fix this? I know this isn't an issue with 3.0 because I've had this problem since march! Also, ihome provides no tech support at all!

    is shuffle on before you put it in your ihome?

  • After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs

    After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs. The stop shuffling after any interruption occurs. So If play in the card, get a call, answer it then go back to the music, I have to manually select shuffle. This did not occur prior to the IOS update.

    WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
    If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
    1. Use the 128 bit setting
    2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
    You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

  • 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).

  • HT201401 my iphone4 seems to be stuck on shuffle?

    Hi my iphone seems to be stuck on shuffle, have tried turning off the 'shake to shuffle' in settings but this does not change anything.  Any ideas?

    Play a song, tap the screen.
    Tap the shuffle icon until it is white = off.

  • Ipod mini's shuffle not working

    whenever i put my ipod mini into shuffle it plays full cds not individual songs randomly. instead of having varying artists, it will play all of one artists songs then go onto another artist, rather than varying the choices. is there anything i can do to change it back to varying artists?

    Best if you posted in the shuffle forum as more shuffle owners post there. Here's the link.

    It would be best to start your own topic there instead of posting on the end of someone else's like you did here.

  • I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random!  Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played.  With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often.  Anybody else?

    Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.

  • Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

  • Do any ipods let you shuffle by artist?

    As far as I know, you can shuffle by playlist or album, but you can't shuffle an entire catalog by 1 artist. Is that true? Thanks

    Do any ipods let you shuffle by artist?
    All of them do.
    you can't shuffle an entire catalog by 1 artist. Is that true?
    No. It's simple.
    iPod Settings -> Shuffle set to Songs.
    Go to Music -> Artist, scroll to the artist you want then press Play (not select).

  • Stuck on shuffle

    Help - my 512 mb shuffle is stuck in shuffle mode.
    Reset the Shuffle (I turn it off after each use, so it is always reset when I turn it on).
    I have updated the software - did not help
    Checked that iTunes was not in shuffle mode - it isn't.
    Created playlists and then dragged those to the shuffle - still shuffles.
    What else can I try ?
    The shuffle is more than a year old, so I assume it is no longer covered by Apple.

    Be sure the option "Choose songs randomly" is not selected. If it is, iTunes will transfer songs to the Shuffle in random (i.e., shuffled) order.
