My iPod shuffle feature no longer seems to work

This is odd. I got a new iPod and when I hooked it up and transferred my old music to the new one (not sure how I did it) it now seems to shuffle my songs but it will play 2 or 3 or 6 or 7 songs by the same artist in a row. It drives me insane.  I don't think it's genius, cause that's not turned on... it just randomly groups songs by the same artist together so I'm not getting a true shuffle experience. It's very odd and totally annoying. Anyone know what's going on?  And I should add, the new iPod (5th generation nano) completely failed to hold a charge so I had to go back to my 2nd generation Nano (which never had this problem before). thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out. Somehow I had 'shuffle albums' on LOL

  • Shuffle songs doesn't seem to work on my ipad mini

    Shuffle songs doesn't seem to work on my ipad mini; it just goes on to play the next alphabetical song. Can anyone help?

    The info on that is correct - it says :
    You currently cannot hide purchases on devices using iOS 6.
    You should still be able to hide ibooks via your computer's iTunes, and they shouldn't then appear in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (if you don't want ibooks that are in the cloud to show on the bookshelf in iBooks then set Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off' - hiding doesn't hide them from that, only from the Purchased tab).

  • I can't shut down my IPad button on top no longer seems to work

    I can't shut down my IPad. The button no longer seems to work.

    I realize you've stated that the sleep/wake button (button on top) no longer functions but try the follow anyways:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My iPod shuffle will no longer turn on with switch.

    My ipod shuffle 3rd generation, will no longer activate by the off on swotch.  I have to plus into electrical outlet to get it to turn on to select what I want to hear.  It no longer turns off after playing selection it continues to play until battery wears down.  Seems the switch is flat, and can't be raised to be activated.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Shuffle 2 no longer updating playlist play count and last played date

    I use my shuffle 2 in the gym.  When I'm done working out I sync and the most recently played songs are rotated off using a smart play list.  This is no longer working.  I reset the shuffle 2, I've forced sync and auto filled many times.  My latest workout it still lists all the songs I just listened to in the order I listened to them and has their last played date as many months ago.
    This seems to be affecting my other iPod too, but it is tougher to diagnose.  I signed up to iTunes Match and after several days that is still running but I noticed this problem long before iTunes Match became available in Canada.  Both my iPod Shuffle and iTunes are up to date but my music is on an older but upgraded Mac.  It has a G4 so no Lion upgrade, I just checked it is 10.5.8

    All my tracks should be MP3s or AAC.  I ripped them myselfs with iTunes.  I may have bought some songs directly off of record labels or some other online music store, but I own my music legally whether I bought it on CD or got given it by magazines or record labels.
    I went to the gym today.  I set the shuffle to random.  Some songs were synched back to iTunes but they weren't the songs I listened to, at least not all of them.  Some of them may have been the songs I listened to last workout, at least one or two of the songs updated I did listen to today.
    I listened to some other songs last night on my main Mac so it is easy to determine which songs iTunes updated this morning.
    I haven't had much time to play with Match.  It is still updating and uploading, it has 6000 songs to go.  That means in a half month of trying it has managed to find and/or upload a little over 1000 songs actually close to 2000 now.  It is something, but it isn't the service I was sold.  All my songs and playlists were supposed to be available in the cloud.  That hasn't happened and in the case of my smart playlists will never happen. 
    I'll read you link, but I wrote a blog posting how I was disappointed with the service so far.
    Thanks!

  • Using Ipod shuffle in museum: long-term use?

    Hello.
    I am a museum curator and am doing an exhibit with oral histories. I am considering using the ipod shuffle to play the audio for this exhibit.
    The shuffles would be plugged into a wall adapter, such as the apple USB Power Adapter M9837LL/A, and would run continously for two months. It would be possible to turn them off at night, but inconvient, as the shuffles would be hidden throughout the exhibit.
    My question is: can the shuffle be left plugged into the wall adapter for two months, and if so, can it play continously for this long?
    Has anyone tried this?
    Many Thanks,
    Andrian Paquette
    Ipod Shuffle    

    It seems like it does .... I just uploaded a single 45 minute Podcast and listened to it all the way through. That's all I pot onto the iPS. Anyway, when it got to the end it just rolled back to the beginning and is playing again ....

  • My ipod shuffle is no longer reconized on my computer and restoring issues.

  • HT1373 My ipod shuffle is no longer charging ?

    My Ipod shuffle is not charging...what do I need to do to correct this?

    This is not a new one..actually its quite old . I bought it in 2007 so I have surely gotten my monies worth out of it. Still I would like it to last longer so I will check the Apple Store and see if perhaps it can be rejuveniated. I wish I had of read this post before I purchased a new one this morning but hey if I can get it to work I will just have two!
    thank you again!

  • 4th gen. Ipod Shuffle takes a long time to start playing

    When I turn on my Ipod Shuffle Gen 4, nothing happens!  Then, after a few minutes it starts to play.  I tried resetting and restoring and updating the software but nothing fixes it.  Sometimes it doesn't ever start playing - other times it is pretty quick.  Mostly, though, it takes about five minutes or so before it starts playing.  Any ideas?

    If you've done a Restore already, and it's not a problem related to the headphones, the cause is likely to be a problem with the shuffle.  If it's new (or within one year from purchase date), I would have it checked under warranty.  If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can do so with an Apple tech support person at the Genius Bar.  The store's web page lets you make a reservation.

  • Shuffle feature no longer working

    Since I updated iTunes software, my shuffle feature doesn't work. If I choose a song to play, when it reaches the end it simply begins replaying the same song - endlessly. If I choose shuffle, it chooses a song at random and plays it - endlessly.
    Any ideas?

    have you got the 'repeat' logo set by accident. on the left hand side the arrows which go round will be blue rather than white?

  • Brand New Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen Buttons Don't Work?

    I just bought my mum an Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen for Mother's day. I just set it up on the computer, ripped some of her CDs onto iTunes, let the iPod charge a little and synced it up with her songs.
    Turned it on, music started - then I pressed the 'next song button'. Nothing happened. Held it for a while to see if it would fast forward. Nope! Tried skip back, tried volume increase/decrease... none of them work. It's only the buttons in the white circle that don't work, everything else seems to be fine. I tried holding the play button to see if the buttons had been locked, but whenever I lock/unlock the buttons it always flashes orange as if they're permanently locked.
    I reset the iPod - no luck there. I then went into iTunes and did a factory restore - but the problem persists. We don't have an iTunes store anywhere near us (I'd have just popped in there with it) and I really don't want to have to go down the route of sending it off for a replacement/refund if possible, as this is a gift and I expected it to work out of the box. Is there anything I might be missing, any hints or tips, or does this definitely seem like a hardware issue? At the moment I'm just letting it charge fully before I try again, though I'm not sure that will help.

    Your iPod comes with 90days of complimentary  tech support from Apple.... give 'em a call... they should be able to assist

  • My Macpro no longer syncs with my 3g Iphone. I've set my phone to sync but it no longer seems to work.

    My MacPro no longer seems to sync with my Iphone 3G even though I've checked the setting on the phone.
    any ideas as to how to fix?  I've checked mobile me and haven't seen anything that is an issue although I looked
    at my _me account and it stated there was an error 64 connection.
    Thanks

    Hello Nash_x91x,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing music to your iPhone 5.  I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone for the issue you described. 
    If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply."  Then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.  If you do not want to sync your entire library, be sure to select "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" and select the content you want to sync:
    If you sync manually, delete the music when your iPhone is selected in iTunes and drag new content to your iPhone.
    You can find the syncing steps in the following article:
