Is there a way to shuffle songs on the new ipad?

This is my first Ipad and I'm rather disappointed in the Music software. Is there a way to shuffle songs? I cannot seem to figure that out. I see an icon that if you click it, it will randomly select a song to play from the playlist but the songs are still displayed in the same order within a playlist no matter what.

Tap the shuffle control at the right end of the play head. Black is shuffle on, white is shuffle off. Shuffle on affects the play order, but doesn't affect the display order.

Is there any way to get rid of the new control panel?

Is there any way to get rid of the new control panel? I hate it. It pops up constantly when I scroll on Facebook or Pinterest, and my 3 year old turns things on and off frequently by accident.

Check: Settings - Control Center - Access on lock Screen = Off. Access within Apps = Off

Is there a way to view Java content on new iPad?, Is there a way to view Java content on new iPad?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that although does not view java it does at least allow me to watch animated images such as satellite images. I recently upgreaded to the new iPad and it will not work with mpeg or java looping. Does anyone know if there is a way to get Java to work on the new iPad?

I just read through several links stating that Java is not supported. Oh well, had to ask anyway. The new iPad is so new I was hoping that something may have changed, but not yet.

Will there be a trade-in offered for the New iPad and the iPad with Retina Display?

I don't really understand what's going on. I bought The New iPad in early August and was told that it was the one with Retina Display and it was the top of the line. I cannot find a "New ipad" on Apple's website. In fact, the only iPad with Retina Display is one with the lightning connector. I'm utterly confused and feel very jipped. Can anyone maybe explain to me? Where has the "iPad 3" gone on the website? And will I be able to do a trade for the newest considering I just bought it?
Thanks
Kelsey

The iPad 4, which is now also called the iPad with retina display, essentially replaces the iPad 3, which is no longer available except as a refurbished product. The naming is confusing, as both the iPad 3 and iPad 4 had a retina display. The iPad 4 has the same price points but with a fater processor, better Facetime camera, lightning connector, and faster wi-fi. As soon as it came out yesterday, the iPad 3 was removed from the Apple store. It has essentially been discontinued.
People who bought the iPad 3 within the last 14 days can return it no questions asked. There are stories about some stores allowing an exchange for the iPad 4 if you bought the iPad 3 within the last 30 days, but there's nothing official from Apple on that, and it seems to vary from store to store. I called my local Apple store, and they said no, but I'm waiting for a call back from a manager to confirm this.
I think you may be out of luck trying to return or exchange it at the Apple Store, but you can look a selling it and putting the money toward a new model. Here's a link to an article with some info that may help:

Good luck. It's definitely a lousy thing for Apple to do to iPad 3 users.

Is there a way to transfer songs from the iPhone 4s to PC without first erasing and syncing everything? The CD's were stolen and the only copy is currently on my iPhone.

Here's the order which things occured.
New iPhone 4S
Synched to computer, everything is cool.
Computer explodes, new HD purchased
Itunes empty, everything is on phone.
Download whatever was purchased off itunes (1000+ songs)
Still missing bout 400 songs from CD's
INSULT TO INJURY TIME:
CD's stolen. Only copy is on iphone.
When I try to sync to my computer (manually or otherwise) it wants to erase everything and put only what's on my PC.
What are my options to save the 400+ songs from my CD's that are still stored on my iphone?
Please advise, thanks!

I have all my whole iTunes library backed up in mp3 format on a hard drive, as well as all my CDs backed up in full quality format (FLAC) on other hard drives. If somebody steals my CDs I can always burn them again in full quality format (many of mine are from small bands that no longer exist and are irreplaceable otherwise). Bottom line -- it is worth spending a few bucks on backup drives if you are serious about your collection.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Is there any way to use video with the new Flash CC HTML5 Canvas?

I am a long time Flash user trying to determine if this new version of the program is something to add to the workflow again (after the last several years of not being able to use it) and the tutorials I have seen are not well written. Is there a way to use a video file within the animation, like with the AS2 and AS3 versions of Flash where I could insert a video clip into a symbol and animate the symbol while the video played.
What I need to know is what format of video file I should use and how to add it into the timeline since Flash does not seem to be allowing for any type of import for this.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett

Ok, so there are limitations, are they written down somewhere? I have been looking for a list of do and do not functions and the ways to work around them. Are they in the documentation somewhere I haven't discovered?
Right now all I am looking to do is create Classic Tweens that animate movement and opacity so I can create a presentation with video that includes these elements. Is that level of functionality available in the HTML5 Canvas, or is that still on the drawing board?
Is there a specific name for what I am looking to do that would aid my search? HTML5 video is not enough since the answer has not been forthcoming in Google or on Adobe or Stack Overflow. I am starting to think that nobody has thought of this yet, or if they have they decided that it is not currently possible and skipped the part where the rest of us find out.
Any thoughts on making the connection to either doing this or finding out that it is just not possible yet would be very helpful.

Is there a way to edit song titles on an iPad?

I don't use the Music part of "iTunes in the cloud" for one simple reason: Some times the iTunes Store gets the song titles wrong - poor punctuation, misspelled words, that type of thing. If I had the 'automatically download music' turned on, I assume my iPad would receive the songs directly from the iTunes Store, with any such incorrect punctuation. So if I turned that option on, would there be any way to edit the song titles directly from my iPad?
For example: I buy an album from the iTunes Store on my computer. It has song titles that have misspellings. Those misspellings would also end up on my iPad once the songs were pushed to it. So would there be any way to fix them? If so, how?
Would I have to edit the song titles in iTunes and then sync it with the iPad? That would defeat the purpose of music in the cloud, wouldn't it?

Hi everyone, I've got a question. I've noticed that Itunes says me exactly the number of times that I've listened a song since I've put it on the library. Well, I've just put on some new music and I was wondering if there is a way to reproduce only the songs that Itunes nerver played without creating a new playlist.
Thank you

Is there a way to take screenshots on the new iPod touch?

I just got a new iPod touch 5G and would like to be able to take screenshots on it. Can't seem to find a way in the documentation.

From the Users Guode:
Take a screenshot: Press and release the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time. The screenshot is added to your Camera Roll album.
Note: On an iPod touch without a camera, screenshots are added to the Saved Photos album.

Is there a Bluetooth printer that works with the new Ipad?

Does anyone know yet if there are any portable Bluetooth printers that will work with the Ipad?
I found this one. But I'm not sure if it's going to work. becuase it only has setup disks for PC and BB phone.

deggie is correct; BT only works with some headphones and keyboards. You'd have to invest in one of the 3rd party apps in the App Store to get your printing done.

Is there a way to browse "Artist" from the now playing screen?

On my old click-wheel nano - 5th Gen - i believe, when a song is playing, I could hold down the center button and be presented with a number of options. "Start Genius, Browse Album, etc." My favorite was "Browse Artist." Is there a way to do that on the new Nano (7th Gen.) I know I can hit the little list button to browse an Album, but is there a way to browse the artist without back-tracking to the main menu? Thanks!

Not on the 6G Nano.

My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it. My ipod touch has all of my music still on it. Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full. I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic.
Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.
