Playing all videos in shuffle mode

Can I make a playlist of all music videos that I can play in shuffle mode. I want the next video to play after the 1st one is done without having to go back to the video page and select another video. I could do that on my Generation 5?

The only way to do this is with a 'smart playlist', and currently there is a bug in the software version 1.1, and 1.1.1 which corrupts or doesn't sync smart playlists properly.

Video in Shuffle Songs

Okay, I could be completely wrong here, but bear with me.
I seem to remember, months ago, when I clicked shuffle songs, it'd play the music videos as well and actally show the video.
Now when I click shuffle songs, when a video plays, it shows like 5 seconds in as the album cover and plays the audio, but the video doesn't work.
Am I just imagining that it ever did? Or is it supposed to play music videos? If yes, can someone help me fix it?

You're imaging it. To watch the actual Music Video, you have to go straight through the Videos menu. From the Main Menu, go to Videos, Music Videos, and select the MV you'd like to "watch." Shuffle Songs just shuffles Songs, meaning, Main Menu > Music > Songs. If you were to access those same MVs via the Songs list, the video wouldn't play. Make sense? Probably not.

Hello.
I have found a temporary work around the iPod playlists not recognizing videos. I too think this a really big problem. I just did not realize just how bit it was!
I use mine to pass thew time whil I workout at the Gym.
This is my temeporary soulution util apple fixes the problem.
I used a video editing software Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 because I am just descovering QuickTime.
I have copied my desired videos into the Adobe program.
I then export the one video made up of many videos using MPEG4.
I Then use the quick Time Player Pro to convert the MPEG4 video to iPod.
I then Sync my iPod to my computer.
I create the lenght of the video time I desire for my workout which is between 45 minutes to one hour.
I have created various videos.
This is in no way as good as the playlist but it is certainly much better than the present sintuation.
PS: I hope Apple fixes this problem soon!
If anyone needs some help with this you can email me at [email protected]
Thank you.

Videos in Shuffle

When I shuffle songs and encounter a video, one of three things will happen. Sometimes it will freeze and I have to reset the iPod. Sometimes it will quickly skip over the video and go to a song. Sometimes it will play the music, but not the video. All depends on which video it is. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is about each video that determines its behavior in shuffle? I would like to have them just skip over.

Select the video files, do Get Info, and make sure they are not set to Skip When Shuffling. Put the videos in a Playlist. Next, go to Settings > Shuffle and select Shuffle songs. Select the playlist and then hit play (or select).

Playing Videos Continuously--Shuffle Mode

I bought about 40 videos thru iTunes over the past few months. I am trying to figure out how to play the videos one after another with out having to manually play the next video--similar to building a play list of music files and having songs play one after another. When I try to play videos in a play list using the shuffle feature, i get an error message that reads "apple tv cannot play the file selected." When I called apple support to figure out why this was happening they told me that apple tv cannot play videos in succession they way I want to. Is this true? Is there a way around this? It seems like a fairly simple feature to implement. Having to select the next video everytime is silly.

Yes I'm afraid this is true
Is there a way around this?
Sorry, none whatsoever

There are many that agree with you and have it at the top of their lists for feature requests, I'm not sure whether it's an oversight in the current version of tv software or whether it's built in protection against the possibility of having the tv play video 24/7.

I pod video and shuffles

I recently bought ipod video and loaded the software. I tunes no longer recognises either my sons of my daughters shuffles, whats the solution.

One thing that could of happend is when you installed the software for your video iPd, it could of updated the "iPod Service" that runs in the background of windows and helps translate things from a PC to a iPod. If this has happened you will have to try and update the software on the shuffles with the latest iPod updater (Version 2006-03-23). If you do not have the latest iPod updater you can download it here and use it to update the software on both the shuffles and your video iPod http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

IPod Video Volume Shuffle

I have a 5th gen 30GB iPod video that has a tendancy to change my volume setting all on its own. I use my iPod with my car stereo and religiously keep the volume at approximately 75% because of the distortion that happens above that. Out of nowhere the volume changes to almost mute, then up a little bit, then full blast, then back down all within just a few seconds. When I set the volume back to where it was I can still see it jump around some. I have also seen a screen that gives me a message that says my battery is dead despite showing the battery icon at half capacity and when I tried it again later I had no problems. Strange to say the least, anyone have any info on this one for me?

Shuffle Songs vs. Albums

What do these three terms mean on my video ipod:
Shuffle: Off
Shuffle: Songs
Shuffle: Albums
I hoped "Shuffle: Songs" meant that playlists were shuffled while albums were not. But when I my albums are also being shuffled.
Thank for your help,
Chris

Hi,
I do not believe this is correct. What do you mean by "every song you presume to play through"? I disagree that there is a shuffle mode that plays album songs in alphabetical order.

Playlist of video podcasts

I make a playlist of video podcasts. The entries play as audio only, not video. How do I fix that or can I.
It does it either manually built or using on the go.
It is a real pain to have to play newest podcast first,why they ever choose that for the default i will never understand.

Video playlist yes, you need to enable Playlists All (not just music playlists) in Settings (can't remember exact submenu).
Repeating files won't generally work in order, though you might be able to have a playlist of video to shuffle continuously (not tried).

Playing random videos

why itunes when playin music videos in shuffle mode only pay the videos I bought from itunes an skip the ones i made with popcorn 2

I have found a solution!
You need to tag your videos in such a way that you can bring them all up when searching. For example, I have tagged mine in the comments field 'video'. In the main window, you can then just type 'video' in the search box. Of course, this will bring up any song with video in, like The Buggles 'Video Killed The Radio Star'.
Pressing play (with random switched on) will then play your music videos in random order in full screen.
Remember, you can tag all your videos at once by selecting them all and hitting Apple+I.

I don't have PHOTO listed in my ITUNES source pane so how do I add photos?

I just installed the ITUNES CD onto my new computer Gateway Windows Vista. I read the manual to install photos and it says to click on IPOD and Photos under my source pane. I don't have listed Ipod or Photos.
Under my source pane are listed:
Library
Podcasts
Videos
Party Shuffle
Radio
Music Store
(and then my music playlists)
And that's it. So how do I intall photos if I don't see the word Photo to click. I don't have adobe photoshop either.
Please help.
Thanks.

First of all as the last poster pointed out, the photos tab is not listed under sources, it's one of the preference tabs that can be viewed when the iPod is connected. Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list. (this will bring up the ipod preferences tabs in the main pane to the right of the source list)
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view. if you want to include full size photos so you can move them from one computer to another check the the "Include Full Resolution photos" box.

How to Change iWeb page themes after the page has already created?

Once you have created a page with a theme and saved it, and then later you want to change it to another theme... How does one change theme without recreating the page?
Also, How does one add background music to a page once it is opened?
Thanks!
T.

I too am wondering about your first question, but I have found a workaround for your second question.
First save the audio clip as a mov file in quicktime, then place it somewhere on the page. Make it small and out of the way and hide ot from site.
Now publish the site. Then you will have to change the HTML. Open text edit and select "Ignore Rich Text Commands". Open the iDisk icon on the left and find the Web folder then follow this string Web/Sites/iWeb/<Your Site Name>/<then the page name folder, example: "Home_files">/then "Home.js"
Once opened find the quicktime file use the find feature it will list the properties twice, the second listings are the ones you want to change. Change controller="true" to controller="false". Then autoplay="false" to autoplay="true" and loop="false" to loop="true".
If you change that specific page and republish you will have to do this again, but only if you change that page. You will not if you rebublish and you had made no changes to that specific page.
Hope this helps.

Library label, not library has disappeared.

This happened a long time ago, but I forgot the fix. How do I get the label back?
TIA

Jerry hello,
The method does work on on any items in the source list except Radio, Podcasts, Videos, Party Shuffle, Music Store but all the rest including the Library can be changed.... the only reason I can think of for this not happening as it should is you do not have the permissions set right... try this
Close iTunes ...
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...Unlock & click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
Start iTunes and check now to see if you can correct the naming of the Library
let's know Jerry what happens ... TP

Who is Juan Tapia&how do I get him off my iTunes source list

I recently purchased an iPod mini, and have installed the accompanying iTunes software.
In the source list of iTunes I have an entry called "Jan Tapia's Limewire Tunes". I can find no explanation of this in the help files. I wonder if I received a previously owned iPod in my new package. There is no music listed in Juan's Tunes list, and I'd like to get rid of it.
Has anyone seen this? Any idea how I get this entry out of the iTunes Source List (list which includes Library, podcasts, Videos, Party Shuffle, etc...)?
Regards
