Music won't stay in shuffle mode ?

Hi all,
This problem seems to have started after intalling one of the last ITunes updates a while ago.
Basically when I shuffled a song list it would stay in shuffle mode until you unclicked the shuffle icon. Now the shuffle mode seems to randomly turn itself off.
Does anyone know why this is happening ?
Thanks all,
Martin

Ok I've worked out what causes this - if you play a podcast it turns off the shuffle when you go back to songs. Do you think this is a bug ? If so how could I report to Apple ?
Thanks all

  • Shuffle 3G is 'stuck' in straight play and won't switch to shuffle mode.

    The shuffle when in shuffle mode shuffles the songs reasonably randomly and when i staright mode, I can access all my playlists BUT if i switch from shuffle to straight and the want to switch back to shuffle the problem begins. The shuffle will then only play straight mode in either position of the switch, ie straight or shuffle position and the only way to correct it is to connect the shuffle to itunes [not do a restore] until the sync is complete [a matter of seconds]. I have tried resetting the shuffle and moving the switch from shuffle to straight and the back to shuffle [page 21 of the manual] and neither make any difference.I have restored the unit a bout 3 times and it still happens.
    So, why is this happening? Is there something i should be doing? Or do i need to change the shuffle? I have even used different earphones [Apple and 3rd party with Belkin Adapter] and that makes no difference either. Help and advice please

    I prefer the 7th Generation Nano and Bluetooth headset. Get plugs for the heaphone and lightning jack or put it in water resistant case to prevent perspiration from killing it. You can turn off shake to shuffle in settings.

  • Airport Extreme won't stay in Bridge Mode

    I have the AE being used as a USB print server and for some reason it doesn't stay in Bridge mode. Every few days/weeks I have to run the AirPort Utility and put it back on Bridge Mode. No idea how/why it gets reset.
    I am printing over the network (not wireless) from two iMacs. The AE is plugged into a router in the basement. Any other configuration options I could try?

    I'm having a similar problem and I'm at wit's end. I know almost nothing about hardware.
    My DSL comes in through AT&T on a Motorola MSTATEA (whatever that is) modem and goes to a single iMac. The brand new Airport Extreme handles my 802.11n network (several iMacs) without a problem.
    When I change the configuration to be DSL modem > AE > wireless iMacs, there is DSL for everybody for a short period of time (seconds to minutes). Then I get a very ugly error message (I believe an exclamation mark on a red background) saying that 192.168.1.64 (the address printed on the modem) is in use by 00:1b:63:... (not the MAC ID of my Airport Extreme) Server 192.168.1.254. Airport Utility starts and tells me I must set up my AE in bridge mode. I do that successfully, restart my hardware, and the whole cycle begins again. Airport Utility keeps telling me my AE needs to be changed bridge mode, and I keep doing it. Is there a way to verify that the AE ever even accepts to the command to go to bridge mode?

  • IPod won't stay in disk mode

    I have the dreaded sad face icon. I am attempting to restore it. I am able to put the iPod into disk mode. It will stay in disk mode and charge with the A/C charger. When I try to connect it to the pc it will flash "do not disconnect" for a few seconds then reboot and go back to the sad face. It will not stay in disk mode long enough for me to attempt a restore. Anyone had a similar problem?

    Well, I got frustrated enough to try the "whack in on the desk" method of iPod restoration I have read about in a few places. Low and behold IT WORKED! Took two tries. I banged it on my desk fairly hard three times and now it has started fine and is charging as I type this. All songs are still there at first glance. It seems like a dumb thing and your mileage may vary, but it worked for me.

  • Lenovo T61 won't stay in Standby mode

    Im running windows xp. my computer wont stay in stanby mode when i close the lid or click start, shut down, and then choose the standby option.  When i click shut down the computer wont stay shut down.  It just restarts.  Basically my computer wont stay in standby mode or shutdown. 
    what could be the problem? and solution...?

    Check your system logs in your Console application for clues to what is triggering it to come back on. USB hubs or something connection to the computer via USB or Firewire often cause this issue. Try disconnecting any external devices.

  • Iphone won't stay in Airplane mode after connecting to some accessories

    I've observed that the iphone doesn't stay in airplane mode after I connect it to a Kenwood KCA-iP500 adapter for Kenwood head units. Here's the story.
    After I connect the iphone to the iP500, the iphone pops up with a message that says the attached accessory is not compatible with the iphone. It further asks me if I want turn on airplane mode. I choose to activate airplane mode, and I assume it turns on airplane mode. After my drive I disconnect the iphone from the ip500, and I observe that the iphone comes out of airplane mode automatically.
    The use of airplane mode is crucial for me because I work in a Mexican border town and I want to avoid data roaming charges. I manually put the phone in airplane mode, put it into standby mode and went about my business. Some time later I went back to the home screen and noticed that the phone was trying to register to a phone network. I kept trying to keep it in airplane mode but it kept coming out by itself.
    I'm guessing that the feature that temporarily activates airplane mode and then automatically deactivates it when the accessory is disconnected keeps it out of airplane mode.
    The good news is turning the phone off and then back on fixes the problem.

  • Album music won't stay in albums

    Verizon when are you going to make a 64 bit version of V Cast Media Manager?. I wanna be able to use it, I really hate using Windows Media Player, it's a piece of crap!. Also, all my **bleep** albums keep splitting up into media songs and won't keep them organized in the album folders. Also, quick question, why does my phone only show 14.83G total when it should show 16 + the 8G from the eternal memory?. Shouldn't it be showing up with 24Gigs of memory total not 14?.

    Have you tried using Media Share on your phone?   Here are the steps for sharing your data. Also regarding the memory, do you have files(music, pictures, or videos stored on your phone?  Having contacts, text messages, email and apps on your phone?   These things pull from your internal memory and sd card memory. At this time a update to V cast media manager is not available. You can sign up for email updates under the Support tab on the website to get information regarding new updates that will be available. Hope this helps!

  • Ipod nano randomly turns on, pauses music & won't stay off

    I got an iPod Nano 6th(?) Gen in August. It didn't get used for another month - loaded it with tunes in September. After about a month of intermittent use, it started to randomly pause music without touching it in any way. I also noticed that, even though the iPod wasn't being used daily, it rarely had enough charge to play for more than an hour. After paying close attention one day after turning it off, it just jumped back on without my touching it.  Disturbing to say the least - brand new gift, hardly used and not working right after only a couple months.
    It was suggested by online and telephone support that the iPod be reset by holding down the keys; then reset, wiped clean and reloaded in iTunes (phone support).  Neither of these fixes worked.  Very upsetting.
    In November I filled out a service request and sent my Nano back via UPS.  I am beyond livid at this point as #1 - their tracking page tells you nothing #2 - I almost didn't get my iPod back as they never notified me it was shipped via FedEx requiring someone to be home to sign for it(!) and #3 - my device was denied repair/replacement because they're saying that the LCI (liquid contact indicator) was pink, indicating that my iPod had been submerged in liquid causing the internal damage.  I was told that I had to bring it to an authorized Apple place and they could replace it for me for $65 which is about half of what my husband paid for the thing.
    Um, unless this spill or submersion happened right before they sealed it in the box it never got wet.  I think this touch-Nano is defective from the posts seen here and Apple is looking for a way to not replace/repair at their cost.  Maybe their LCI is hypersensitive?? I might have breathed on it or maybe it couldn't take the humidity in August when it was given to me... If a device is to be sold for use by the average, active person (it has a pedometer for Criminy's sake) maybe it shoudn't be so sensitive to "wetness". 

    Call Apple Customer Relations-1800-767-2775.  Explain to them exactly what you stated in your post. 
     Good luck! 

  • 'Manually manage music' won't stay unchecked

    I recently got a new computer (old one crashed) and transferred my iTunes library to it. I would like to have my music and videos auto-update whenever I connect my iPod. I've followed all the steps in the help file. I've also looked for this topic in the forums here, and followed the few recommendations mentioned, but to no avail.
    Whatever I do, the 'Manually manage music' checkbox reverts back to checked after I 'Apply' it. I think it has to do with the fact that an iPod will only auto-sync with one computer. How can I get my iPod to know that my current computer is the one I want it to sync with?

    If it's set to Auto-sync, it will auto-sync to the computer it gets plugged into.
    Restore it.

  • Won't stay in fullscreen mode!!!!

    darn it. just updated to 7.2 and now when i try to watch something with my TV as the second screen in fullscreen mode, every time i do something other than that (like try to use safari on the first screen) quicktime drops the playback size to a small window. very annoying. what happened?

    no... i have quicktime pro, i use cmd-f to use fullscreen, have it set the second screen, but if QT isn't the foreground application, it resizes the screen.
    in other words if QT is playing fullscreen and i cmd-tab to another app, it also resizes. or click on another app's window, QT resizes.
    same on both systems.

  • Won't stay in sleep mode, mouse freezes

    In the past months, iMac has become like a toddler -- doesn't want to sleep.  Put it in sleep mode, and it does so for a few seconds, then it wakes again and the mouse cursor is frozen.  I have to unplug/plug the mouse back in TWICE (never once, always twice) and try again for sleep mode.  Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.  After 2 go-arounds, I often just shut it down.  I have tried other USB ports and get the same results.  I would use the wireless mouse, to see if this is a software problem, but I put it in such a safe place, now I can't find it. LOL
    Any ideas?

  • Music won't stay synced

    After the latest update it took literally 2 days to put my music back on my iPod Touch (4th Gen) once I hooked it up to my computer. Yesterday I had to interrupt mid-sync because it looked like it was going to take too long and I didn't have the time. Today, no music on my iPod.
    I can't have it take 2 days every time I connect to the computer! I have enabled wireless sync, but I will plug it in to charge it. Please help!
