Is the Autofill "Choose songs randomly" option broken?

I am absolutely certain this is a new thing (bug): as soon as I select the "Choose Songs Randomly" in the autofill panel whatever playlist I choose in the autofill popup menu replaces all the content of my iPod Shuffle.
The "Replace All When Autofill" option is disabled (unchecked), but still, checking the "Choose Songs Randomly" wipes out everything on the Shuffle.
To put it another way, It is now impossible to fill the Shuffle with multiple playlists while in autofill mode if one wants random songs from those playlists. It is now a matter of getting either random songs from ONE playlist or compulsory alphabetical sorting for TWO playlists (or more).
The "Choose Songs Randomly" has always worked as expected before tonight (I have not updated my shuffle playlist for a while, so I can't say which specific update broke the option...
So, for the time being, the only way for me NOT to wipe out all there is on the Shuffle is to load songs manually OR disable (uncheck) all autofill options, including the "Choose Songs Randomly" option.
The result of this bug is that Autofill now chooses songs in alphabetical order and I have to randomize the list manually OR delete artists that are overbearing on the shuffle playlist.
Am I the only one experiencing this "Random wipe out"? Or have any of you found a solution to this that you can share? Could not find a mention of this problem after an extended search on the Forums...

Yes, to answer my own question, the feature is broken in the French version of iTunes (6.0.3): the labels identifying the buttons are inverted if you compare to the Englis version, although the functions themselves remain the same...
For all I know, the buttons labels have always been inverted due to the length of the French label. "Remplacer tous les morceaux lors du remplissage automatique" being too long for the spave alloted to it in the Englis version. So i guess someone forgot about that and just mapped the English function on the French label.
Thanks to Chris Breen (Playlist/MacCentral) for posting a capture of the American autofill interface and letting me see the light.

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have synched my laptop with 4 albums on to my new iphone5. when I chose a song on the phone the library wizzes through all the song titles then chooses one random. Same happens on the laptop too. Genuis is off. Exhausted all avenues.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Project server 2010 don't respect the 'Choose an account' option

We have in our company Project Server 2010.
We use to create the 2 URLs accounts for all users through the Create Accounts and choose the 'Choose an account' option so the users can select weather to work offline ("Computer") or from one of the URLs.
We encountered two cases already, that the Project Pro don't respect the
'Choose an account' option -
Every time we select the 'Choose an account' radio botton and close the Project Pro it automatically open the default account without showing the accounts window and switches back to 'Use my default account'.
If these 2 users interested in working offline they have to swich it manually only after the default account opens but they cannot open the second URL.
Does anyone know of such a case and is there a workaround to solve it?

Hi Maya,<o:p></o:p>
Do you see this behavior on multiple machines or single machine?<o:p></o:p>
Try removing the accounts and recreating it again with "Choose an account" option and check if that helps<o:p></o:p>
Also let us know what value you see for the "Autoconnect" registry key at below location?<o:p></o:p>

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. P.S. iCloud is off.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

It depends on your car stereo. On the JVC we have you can select either "Head Mode" or "iPod Mode" when you're plugged into the USB port. Ipod Mode lets you select the songs from the iPod although the radio still controls the volume. I believe the Alpine I have does the same thing.

Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
- but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
- or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
- or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
- or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
- before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
"Use old-style search bar"
This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

Hello, we are interested in more information on the Image Size Fit To option in phototshop. For example, if we open a 46x25 inch 120 dpi image and choose Fit to 4x6" does all of the resolution remain? Any links to tutorials in this area are appreciate

Hello, we are interested in more information on the Image Size > Fit To option in phototshop. For example, if we open a 46x25 inch 120 dpi image and choose Fit to 4x6" does all of the resolution remain? Any links to tutorials in this area are appreciated.

Let's look at the first thing: Aspect Ratio 46W x 25H does not fit 6W x 4H exactly. You get 6W x 3.621H If we preserve Landscape Orientation and Aspect Ratio. If I set H to 4, W will be 7.36 inches, clipping your picture.
You'll have to decide on how to clip off that 1.36 inches so your picture can be 4 x 6 in order to solve that problem.
Notice I set Resample off. Throwing out pixels is destructive editing. So what I am doing is "Scaling", changing the Print Size without touch the pixels. Notice how high the resolution goes up.
To Resample or not will be your decision. I hope I answered your questions properly. Let me know otherwise.

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers?

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers? It doesn't appear anywhere. Do I now have to sort massive tables by each column one at a time now? Also there used to be an easier way to merge/unmerge cells without me having to go to the table menu each time. Am I missing something?

Multiple column sort is a missing feature in the new version. Hopefully soon to return. You can do a multicolumn sort by sorting one at a time in reverse order of importance.
For merging and unmerging cells, I select the cells and right click to bring up the contextual menu. Merge and unmerge are on the menu. You could also create keyboard shortcuts for Merge Cells and Unmerge Cells in the Table menu.

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.

HT1296 I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the iPod directions on this page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the Autofill button. Can you help?

I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the directions on the iPond help page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the autofill button. Can you help?

I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.

Randomly shuts off in the middle of songs.

My brand new nano randomly pauses and shuts off in the middle of songs...help!

Same thing happened to mine. Im trying to figure out if its under warranty but i dont remember the date i bought it on. i think its the headphone jack. This seems to be real common. Its supposed to pause when unplugged but mine doesnt. then when the screen goes to sleep it will pause. Real strange. Poor design. I hate the unplug pause feature for this reason. Mine will play if I keep my finger on the screen or keep it plugged into the charger.

You will have to urlencode the XML data in order to use the plugin, I think this is where you are stuck.
Does this help create your own code?
P.S. regarding the contents of the XML string, you will have to personalize it for you own purposes.

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

Is the Autofill "Choose songs randomly" option broken?
