Is there a simple way to do a genre shuffle?

My quick read on this (I have an 80gb Classic) from the forum is that you can't simply do a "genre" shuffle - you can do an "all song" shuffle, an "album" shuffle, or create a playlist. But that seems silly, if I'm correct (and if I am, Apple, are you listening?). I don't know if the Genius function would help with this.
It would seem to me to be a basic thing that Apple should anticipate - many peoplw might want to do a random shuffle within a genre for the same general mood.

Okay, I don't have a Classic but I think it works the same. Set the iPod to shuffle from the settings menu. Navigate to the genre menu. Scroll to the genre you want to shuffle. DO NOT press select. Press PLAY. If it works the way I think, your iPod will then shuffle through everything in that genre. Same thing works for Artist or playlist.

    There is currently no way to merge accounts.  The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • Is there a simple way to retrieve the data from a resultset using JavaBean?

    I have a result set from a select * from users where userid = xxx statement. However, at the moment I have had to hard code the remainder of the code to get the data from each column as I need the column name as well as its data.
    I had read somewhere using java beans and reflection it is easier. But i do not know know how.

  • IS THERE ANY SIMPLE WAY TO RETURN SPEED PERFORMANCE TO FACTORY SPEED AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF RELATIVELY STANDARD USE?

    Everyone is often so quick to bash all these 'cleaning' utilities but rarely give any solutions.
    There's a lot of critiques and endless lists of what NOT to do to avoid performance problems.
    My Powerbook is 3 years old. It runs like molasses... SLOW.
    I'm not a computer geek, but I'm smart and understand quite a bit more than a newbie.
    Do I need a degree in computer engineering to fix/speed up my mac?
    Yes, I know, the cleaning utilities suck. But is it really true of all of them?
    I'm not totally convinced because there seems to be such a huge market for them.
    Sure, there's a huge market for bottled water too, so maybe they are just useless/marketing crap, but I really want to return to my original speed performance quickly and can't seem to find out if it's possible with a utility.
    I'm not willing to sit down for 3 hours and study line by line b.s. about how to fix it.
    I have no problem if it's not fixable. I've always assumed operating systems outgrow their hardware's capacity to keep up, and sell my old one for a new one, no prob.
    I don't care, really, but again, I'm curious if there is any quick, easy, user-friendly utility or method that I can use to return the speed performance I had as recently as a year ago? (I'd be satisfied with that).
    Anyone willing to bite on that? Anyone willing to not critique, complain, tell me what NOT to do and actually know a solution?
    IS THERE ANY SIMPLE WAY TO RETURN SPEED PERFORMANCE BACK TO (OR CLOSE TO) ORIGINAL FACTORY SPEED AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF RELATIVELY STANDARD USE?
    The only thing I may have done outside of the norm was some video editing, but very little.

    Look for solutions here:

    To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?
    I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

    Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
    If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.

    I'm not sure I would call disk authoring a 'simple' process.  Unless it's a very basic disk, or course, with but a single timeline and no menus.  But the kind of disk we're using to seeing from Hollywood is anything but simple to create, and so not so simple to explain.
    Might be time for some research.

  • HT3697 Is there a simple way to create a borderless PDF from Keynote.

    Is there a simple way to create a "borderless" PDF using Keynote slides?
    When I create a PDF, each slide appears separately with a border around it.
    I am a relatively new keynote and mac user.
    I am using Keynote version 6.2

    I got the same result.
    I'm trying to create what looks like a single document that viewers can scroll through.
    I done quite a bit of checking and it seems that Keynote used to give you the ability to crop the PDF which, if I understand what they are talking about, would make it look like one big document and not a series of slides.
    I read about using terminal commands (?) which are way beyond my skill level.
    Also, I could buy Adobe Acrobat which, from what I've read, would also work. I'm not fond of making that investment.
    Right now, I'm stuck!
    I need to create a "long form sales letter" and I'm starting to think that I'm using the wrong program.
    Thank you very much for your help and any other suggestions you might have.

  • Is There A Simple Way Of Deleting Invisible Files?

    There's an invisible file/folder that I need to delete but don't know how. Instructions about how to do it that I've come across seem rather unclear.
    Is there a rather simple way of deleting Invisible files?

    If you know the name of the file/folder you can use the free Easy Find

    You can also use the free TinkerTool to turn on all invisible files, then do what you have to do, then turn invisible files off.

  • Is there a simple way to create a custom item list for a List Picker field?

    I have created a List picker field and added it to my customized version of the Incident Management form. I need to populate this List Picker with custom items (Departments) and everything I am reading about how to do that is that I have to write a
    bunch on XML code. Is there a relatively simple way to populate a List Picker field with custom entries that does not require me to know scripting or XML?
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Mark

    Assuming that you have created a Enumeration picker (i.e.
    you used the authoring tool and dragged what it calls a list picker in, and then selected a list that you created in the authoring tool), then you can edit the contents of those Enum Lists using
    the Lists view in the Library pane, or by editing the XML as in the last reference. 
    You might also be interested in the
    Bulk Enum creation tool, which automates the process of creating that XML

  • Why isn't there a simpler way to initialize a subclass with its super class

    Let me explain my doubt with an example...
    public class Parent {
    �    public String parent;
    public class Child extends Parent{
    �    public String child;
    I've an instance of Parent p. I want to construct Child c, with the data in p.
    The only way that is provided by Java language seems to be, having a constructor in Child like
    public class Child extends Parent{
    �    public String child;
    �    public Child(Parent p){
    �    �    parent = p.parent;
    �    }
    The problem with this is there is lot of redundant assignment code.
    What I don't understand is why there is not a simpler way of doing this when a subclass is after all super class data + some other data(excuse me for not looking at the bahavior part of it)
    I'm looking for something as simple as Child c = p, which I know is wrong and know the reasons too.
    Yes, we can wrap Child over Parent to do this, but it necessitates repeating all the methods in Parent.
    Why is the language writers didn't provide a simple way of doing this? I should be missing something here...I'm just searching for an explanation. May be I'm asking a dumb question, but this bugs me a lot...
    Regards,
    Kothapalli.

    To answer DrClap, I'm demanding it now :-). Let me
    not suggest something that Mr.Gosling didn't think of;
    he should be having some reasons in not providing it.Because it's essentially impossible in the general case. One of the reasons you may be extending a class is to add new invariants to the superclass.
    eg- extend java.awt.Rectangle by BoundedRectangle - extra invariant that none of its corner points may be less than 0 or more than 100 in any dimension. (The rectangle must be entirely contained in the area (0,0)-(100,100))
    What would happen if you try to create a BoundedRectangle from a rectangle representing (50,50)-(150,150)? Complete invariant breakdown, with no generic way to handle it, or even recognise it.
    Actually, BIJ and sgabie are asking for it. Provide an
    automatic copy constructor. Every object should have
    an implicit copy constructor defined. From any
    subclass, I should be able to invoke
    super(parentClass). From the subclass, we can invoke
    super(parentClass) first and then go on to initialize the
    subclass data.
    I really don't know the implementation issues of this,
    but what I'm looking for is something like this. I'm just
    curious to know the implementation issues.Implementation issue #1: Classes that should not, under any circumstane, be copied.
    * eg 1- Singleton objects. If there's an automatic copy constructor, then multiple singletons can be created, making them essentially useless. This by extension kills the Typesafe Enum pattern also.
    * eg 2- Objects with extra information, such as java.sql.Connection - if you copied this, would the copy be using the same socket connection, or would another connection be required? What happens if opening another connection, and the JDBC driver requires the password to be entered for every new connection? If the wrong password is entered, what happens to the newly creating connection?
    Implementation issue #2: Copying implementation?
    * Already mentioned by RPWithey. The only guaranteed way to perform the copy would be with a shallow copy, which may end up breaking things.
    Why can't you write the copy constructor yourself? If it's a special case, it only has to be done once. If it's a recurring case, you could write a code generation tool to write them for you, along with most of the rest of the class.

  • Is there a simple way to update data in a mobile phone?

    I'm in a work on J2ME.This work is to make we Chinese easier to recite English word.If we can see these English words on our mobile screen every now and then,then it would be of great help to us.
    The most tough point is that we have to update those words for we cannot put every words, say , in TOFEL ,into our RMS.We cannot simply transmit those words with a USB line for JVM do not support it and it costs a lot with woreless network.
    So I make out another seemly demanding plan.I can translate words in a .txt(certainly in some format) to a .class which would have been genenrated from a .java containing RMS otherwise.And then we only have to generate this class from various word lists and make the whole project a .jar file.
    What I want to ask is :
    Is there a better way to update information(or database) in J2ME?
    Can I generate .jar file without JRE in windows?For i don't want to force every green hand be bogged down in setting JRE.
    Thanks!!
