New User - Query on using Shuffle on iPod Classic

I am a lover of both rock/blues/pop music and of classical music, I want the shuffle facility to operate on my rock/blues/pop category only. However when I use the shuffle songs facility it shuffles all categories and a rock/blues/pop and random classical musical tracks mixture does not make good listening. Is there any way of achieving the separation I want?

Make a smart playlist with the following criteria:
Match any
Genre contains rock
Genre contains blues
Genre contains pop
(or what ever genre labels you've used)
Then, shuffle just that playlist. If you don't want to mess with a smart playlist, just make a regular playlist and drag everything you want to hear shuffled to it.
And/or select all your Classical music, Get Info> and tick the Skip while shuffling box.
Mix and match. Best of luck.

    I have just purchased an iPhone5 and created a new user instead of using my iPhone3 ID. How can I access my previous data?

    don't just sign out!
    if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

  • Using my old  ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g?

    is it possible to use my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g? thanks

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

    Does it go through properly this time?

  • What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    Hello laurie0823,
    already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
    if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
    No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
    Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
    For more help on different ways to manage multiple ipods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

  • Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    That link seems to be broken.  It does normally lead to a solution. For the time being go to
    http://www.google.com/search?q=ipod+classic+disk+mode
    Let your mouse hover over the link until you see the option appear on the right to view the cached version Google contains:
    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model, without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode,  verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.

  • What's with the new user acct after using Migration Asst? Can I merge users or should I even care?

    I used Migration Assistant to bring over photos and music from my PC and a new user account was created on my iMac. I expected this since the instructions on the Apple site mentioned this would happen. But now that it's all over and done it really annoys me to have 2 user accounts. Is it something I should just accept or should I merge the accounts (if that's even possible)?
    I would be very appreciative of any feedback

    Please look over http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html towards the bottom where he discusses that. Once you have the data moved into the account you want you can remove the account you don't want by using the System Preferences - Users & Account. The remaining account must be an administrators account though.

  • When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car

    Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?

    the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

  • New user: Logic & surround using existing amp??

    Hi
    Please excuse my ignorance, but I have done some searching and couldn't find an answer.
    I am a new user to Logic, and keen to create surround mixes (5.1). Using a macbook, how can I achieve this in the best and cheapest manner?
    I have a hope Sony 5.1 surround system with USB (+optical etc). Can I use this?
    I can't see the surround windows in Logic. Is this because it hasn't detected a surround output? I was hoping I could mix and play, record as AC3 and play this via DVD on the system?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi
    Thank you both for you very useful comments.
    I will contact Sony on the slim chance they used the USB connections described.
    Which audio connector would you recommend for a shoe-string budget?
    Hi Paul,
    You are not looking for an "audio connector" but an audio INTERFACE.
    I recommend you go over to Motu.com to see some of their product, to get an idea.
    Cheers

    Hope this helps
    Please reread the OP question:  it states that he/she no longer owns the iphone.

  • Using Video with iPod Classic 80GB

    Hello All,
    I am James I am a new user with the iPod, I have a Classic Black Colour, 80GB. So far I use it for muisic, Photos and wanted to watch movies. Does it support movies at all? I put some video clips in mp4 format, itunes converted to a suitable format but then When I watched it, I could only hear it with a picture displayed and no movie loading. Is this normal? or am I doing something wrong?
    Another thing is that I don't have a proper user manual? Do you know where I can download one?
    regards
    James

    On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
    Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
    Here's the PDF for the iPod Classic user guide.

  • My external hard drive quit on me. Is there a way to get my content(pics, music and videos) back onto my computer- This is the pc and iTunes that I currently use with this iPod Classic 160gig. I don't want to lose all my info. please help. Thanks.

    All my content is still on my iPod classic but my external HDD quit and is not accessible. I am wondering if I can put some of my content onto my PC(my iPod has more storage than my PC  hahaha pretty bad)  This is the PC  I used with iTunes with so I don't think licensing is an issue- But can I upload back to my PC without iTunes wiping clean my iPod because there is no more content on PC/HDD?  I know I may need to send my HDD away to to a Data Recovery Specialist. But if I can save a couple hundred bucks to couple thousand bucks I would prefer this method... mostly worried about photos- can't download these again. Next time I will buy a second back up.

    inMy iPod is ok, but my external hard drive crashed and that's where all my stuff was.  It is still also on my iPod.  My question is, Can I plug my iPod into my PC and put everything back onto my PC's hard drive?  This iPod and PC are synced together already.  I am worried when I plug my iPod back into my PC, itunes will erase everything on it because it's not in my PC but in my crashed external HDD that I can't access.
    You'll need to get yourself a new drive big enough to hold all the data you are going to recover and then reading the tip B-rock has pointed you to. Read it carefully, it should guide you through the steps to recover as much as possible. You are wise to be worried, just plugging in the iPod and clicking sync isn't good enough but it should be possible to recover to most if not all of it.

  • TS1382 I have a new computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

    I have a new Dell computer, how do I sync my Ipod Classic to the new computer

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    Or better yet, if you still have access to the old computer, use one of the method described in this article copy everything from the old PC to the new one.
