Party Shuffle corrupted by upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3?

After upgrading to iTunes 7.3.1.3, my Party Shuffle playlist is populated with only the songs from my 90's Music playlist. The "Source" dropdown menu in the Party Shuffle window has no effect on the content of the Party Shuffle playlist and the "Refresh" button in the Party Shuffle window does nothing.
Everything else in iTunes, including the Music library shuffle function, is working properly. I tried reinstalling the iTunes software but that doesn't resolve the problem.

I didn't have to reboot "a dozen times" but it did happen to me aswell. I had to reboot once after the iTunes update. Then it recognized my phone...

  • Party Shuffle changed behaviour?

    There seems to be a change to Party Shuffle in the newest version of iTunes. When I set it to show 0 upcoming songs (I like to be surprised) it won't grab another song to play after the current song finishes playing, everything stops.
    Is this an intended change? And if so, why bother allowing the option of showing 0 upcoming songs!!

    Yes if it was set to zero if it ran out of user selected songs it would just play a random one. I (and the original posters) just want it to work the way it did before.
    I delete songs because I didn't select them. iTunes randomly selects some songs if my selections get under 5, and if I select some new songs using 'add songs to party shuffle' the songs selected by iTunes get sandwiched between my 'priority songs' and the new songs. Deleting those tracks doesn't change the continous aspect (when set on 5 or more).
    I know I'm not doing a great job of explaining how I like to listen to music. Siffice it to say I wish it would work like it used to. In the grand scheme of things it's a minor issue, but I'm bugged by the change.

  • ITunes 7.0.1.8 - Party Shuffle not moving to next track.

    Can anyone help?
    Since I upgraded to the version above the Party Shuffle only plays one song at a time. All others work fine and play continually.
    Bit of a pain because I use Party Shuffle all the time!

    i have been experiencing the same problem and itz still not fixed after i had made sure that the 'crossfade playback' is selected. i just dont get it. and then, itunes also seems to highlight the playing track in total blue, which it did not regualarly do-weird.
    then, i have also tried re-installing which makes no difference and even worse, i tried installiing the previous version but it wont work cuz it cant read the library that was created by the latest version. so, am stuck with itunes that just wont work properly! this *****! life is just not 'hapenin' without party shuffle!

  • IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

    I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
    I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
    Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
    Thanks in advance.

    After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
    All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

    iPod shuffle working fine before auto-upgrade of iTunes; Plays fine. But does not appear in iTunes when put into dock. Tried switching dock from G4 with OS X 10.3.9 (usual computer for this iPod, older USB) to new Mac Pro (New USB / OS X 10.4.9) and it still doesn't register.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 -- all of my third-party apps missing

    I'm not exactly sure where the issue came from, but I somehow lost all of my apps as I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and the iPhone 4 today. But I figured out what happened and *I have the solution*, which I'd like to share...
    This occurred on June 24, 2010 (iPhone 4 launch day). The steps I took to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 were as such:
    1) I did a full sync and backup of my iPhone 3GS with iTunes 9.1.
    2) I upgraded iTunes 9.1.x.xx to iTunes 9.2.0.61 (the first version compatible with iPhone 4).
    3) I activated my new iPhone 4 and set it up based on my 3GS's back up data.
    4) When it was done setting up the iPhone 4, I noticed that all of the native apps and their app data were intact, but I was missing all of my third-party app store apps. Note that all the apps on my 3GS were obviously still intact.
    5) I noticed that I had zero apps in the iTunes library (at the top left under "Library"). Thus, with my 3GS plugged in, I right clicked on the iPhone in iTunes under "Devices" and selected "Transfer Purchases". This transferred all of the apps on my 3GS to the iTunes library.
    6) I plugged in my iPhone 4, and noticed that on the "Apps" tab under "Devices / iPhone name", the "Sync Apps" box was unchecked. So I checked it, and it gives you a scary message saying that all of the apps in the iTunes Library (which I had just populated in step 5) will overwrite the app data on your iPhone. I didn't have any app data on my iPhone 4, so I clicked "OK". All of the apps transferred from the iTunes Library to my iPhone 4 with all of the app data (game saves, etc) intact.
    So that's my solution. I'm sure this must be happening to other people. My main piece of advice is: after upgrading to iTunes 9.2 and syncing your old phone for the last time, make sure you have apps in your App Library and "Sync Apps" is checked. If not, follow the steps above.
    This same issue also happened to my friend, but he doesn't have his old iPhone 3GS to restore the app data from. If anyone has any suggestions as to how he can save his app data, please let me know. Thanks.

    Well this won't work for me...
    I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...

    did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

  • IPod Shuffle stop working after upgrade to iTunes 7.02

    I upgrade to iTunes 7.02 after it prompted me so many times. My Ipod shuffle has 512MB, somehow iTunes 7.02 format it as 34GB, yes, 34GB!! I wouldn't mind it so much if it still works, but it doesn't.
    What I have tried so far, I uninstall 7.02 and put back 6.05, still it shows 34GB. It does recognize the Ipod shuffle and allows me to put songs in it, except they don't play.
    I download the Ipod shuffle reset utility, but it doesn't recognize the IPod. I am really bumped on this one, nothing to listen to on my long commute.

    Hey man... I know what, you were right! I did some more research and ended up looking for any answaers on the Digidesign site. I downloaded the latest version of CoreAudio for my plataform (ProTools TDM Mix Plus with OS X 10.3.9) which is CoreAudio 6.9 and it seems to have solved all of my problems! At least iTunes and QT are opening again and seem to be working good so far. PT also seems to be runing with no problems!! Thanks again for the hint!

  • Party shuffle problems in itunes

    Hi,
    Just installed the itunes update and i'm having difficulties in the "party shuffle" on my computer. it keeps stopping after every song rather than going from one song straight on to the next as before.
    if anyone has any advise then i'd be very greatful.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem. What's the deal. I actually have had the problem where after one song finishes the next song starts but only plays for a split second and then stops. I can't use the "Return" key to the start a song playing I have to double click or press the play button. !!??????

  • Why can't iTunes Party Shuffle podcasts?

    This is really annoying because I'd like to mix news up-dates in with my music in Party Shuffle, but iTunes doesn't allow this. Does anyone have a work around?
    Thanks.

    You have to be using iTunes 5. You then have to select a single podcast and get info on it. In the options turn off "Skip when shuffling". You then have to repeat for each other podcast.

  • Does 'Party Shuffle' function exist on iPod or only on iTunes?

    Help! I'm having a NY Eve party tomorrow and am relying on my iPod and iPod HiFi for the music. I wanted to use the Party Shuffle function but I can't see that option on my iPod menu... does it only exist in iTunes? I have never used or created playlists before, so this is all new to me. I have an old 3G iPod, not sure if this makes any difference. All help is very much appreciated!

    I have the same question. Where did you find the answer? Thanks

  • Party Shuffle in iTunes 7 not shuffling

    I've noticed that when I'm listening to music on my computer with the party shuffle function, it works fine for a short time before it starts sending the songs I just listened to to the end of my shuffle list and tries to cycle them through again in the exact same order. Then when I check my library to see what song just played, it displays all incorrect songs. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Party Shuffle is designed to select tracks for you, you can 'tune' it with the option to choose higher rated tracks more often.
    It sounds like you need to create your own playlist, put some cross-fade and off you go.
    If you absolutely have to have the tracks in Party Shuffle (I can't imagine why) then you can go through your library, command-click each track you want and select 'Play Next in Party Shuffle' - this will fill your Party Shuffle (in reverse order). I'm not in front of an iTunes at the moment but I think there's another Party Shuffle option in there?
    Be careful, if you click 'refresh' in party shuffle it will wipe this list.

  • Itunes Party Shuffle not Shuffling

    I recently moved my music from my PC to my laptop via the iTunes CD Backup. Since then, the iTunes party shuffle, which i use when I'm doing homework won't shuffle the songs, it instead just plays them in alphabetical order by title. how do i change this?

    It seems it's even worse. At the bottom of the page, where it says select source, I picked a playlist that has my 5 star rated songs, yet the main list in the shuffle area stubbornly remains the same.
