Itunes for iphone cannot shuffle genres

My Itunes on my iphone longer has an option to shuffle thru the entire song listing in a specific genre.  Can it be brought back or is there a way to shuffle thru an entire genre catagory?  Also why did itunes decide to put a generic album cover in place of the original cover for a group of songs.  Many of my album covers shown in the genres catagory now have a different album cover that does not relate to the album of songs originally listed in that album?

The iPhone 5 has removed the flexibility of shuffling a chosen genres.
Looks like it was removed...
Do this...
In the Music app, go to Search and type in name of the Genre you want.
In the Search results, scroll down to Genre, tap the Genre name.
Then tap Shuffle all songs.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

    HELP!!!! How do you clear up some or more of the yellow Other in iTunes for iPhone? To Free up more room on your iphone?

    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

    EEEgads, I have used ITUNES for my Ipod Shuffle for years and now it is a nightmare with 11.0, I can't find my Ipod when I connect to Itunes, it is a new Win 7 PC.  It used to show up on left side and I would slide podcasts right over to it for years,  I have installed 3x with removing old install.  I also can hear a constant throbbing sound in spkrs. when Itunes turned on, pls advise.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

    Hello Negaz
    When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • HT1338 i have a mac os x 10.5.8 what do i have to do to get itunes for iphone 5

    what steps must i take to get the new itunes for my iphone 5?
    I have an imac os x version 10.5.8.

    Upgrade your system to at least OSX 10.6.8 so you can download the newest iTunes 10.7.  You have to buy 10.6.8 from Apple by phone:
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    The above is assuming you are using an Intel Mac and can even upgrade to 10.6.8  You don't provide any information about your computer.  Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • ITunes Saying " "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. ????

    Hey Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 Beta 2 and am running iTunes 10.5 Beta 2, and, when I try to sync my iPhone 4 it comes up with a "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required cannot be found."
    This is the first time this has happened. I have synced many times before and this just now started today. I have no idea why and it is keeping me from Syncing my iPhone which is very annoying.
    If anyone has any speculations as to why it is doing this, please, let me know!
    Thank you,
    Mitchell

    I am having the same problem, I think I narrowed down the problem though, when i deselect sync photos from iPhoto it syncs fine and I don not get the message "required file cant be found", but when I select sync photos from iPhoto I get the message.

  • HT1386 I get a message when I open my iTunes "The iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not stated" can you help?

  • No Podcasts on iTunes for iPhone

    Does anyone know if apple is planning on adding podcasts to the iTunes for the iphone?

    I think what the OP was asking about was getting the podcasts directly through the iPhone's iTunes application rather than syncing them from the computer's iTunes application. It would be kind of nice, especially when traveling.

  • Please support wifi sync with itunes for iphone and touch

    Why not syncing using Wifi for iphone, touch and Macs to keep libraries and devices in sync?

    This really isn't the best place to give Apple feedback. It is suggested you go through the appropriate channels, and in this case that would be via the iTunes Feedback Page.
