Party Shuffle not working

Does anyone have any insight on why my party shuffle playlist doesn't work?

narya hello,
there are two bugs that have been around for a long time and I quite often post a reminder... like so
From the iTunes Hot Tips
If party shuffle or visualizer will not refresh... select all songs in PS/list and delete, the visualizer needs default settings, reset... start visualizer full screen and type 'D'.... type '?' for more options.
Once done they seem to disappear... who knows why ???

ITunes Party Shuffle not working

Party Shuffle not working...help?

I can't get my Party Shuffle to work. I'm running version 7.0.1 and when I select Party Shuffle there's nothing on the playlist. Then I select a source (doesn't seem to matter what I select here...Music, or Purchased or a Playlist) and shuffle and I get an error message that says "The playlist "xxx" does not contain any songs playable by Party Shuffle. Are you sure you want to choose this playlist?" This is the first time I've actually tried this, although I've been importing music to my itunes for some time. Thanks!

Usually, you will only get that message when choosing an empty playlist or one containing streams only.
Any other playlist should work.
I've tried to get the same problem as you're having, using various settings in iTunes 7.0.2, but I did not succeed.
iTunes 7.0.2 has a number of bugs fixes. Can you (and are you willing to) upgrade to iTunes 7.0.2 and tell us if the problem is solved or still persists?

You need to make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of their name.

Quick look 3rd party plugins not working

The 3rd party plugins not working. Illustrator, Folder view, and quark are the three I use. They worked nice in 10.5.x Tried /Library/quicklook/ tried /user/library/quicklook/ even forced into system/library/quicklook/
Anybody else use these or any other 3rd party plugin?

I can confirm that Folder View plugin no longer works. the developer discusses it here

but I can't understand if they figured out how to fix it or not.

Party shuffle Not really "shuffled"

Alright, In my party shuffle window ALL I get is my library, IN ALBUM ORDER, i.e. Album "a", track 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 etc...Album "b", track 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...etc.
This is hardly a shuffle.
I can press the shuffle button FOREVER and it will not change at all. Nothing changes ever, no matter what I do.
Any Ideas?
JAY

Jaydenn,
Welcome to Discussions.
Any Ideas?
Actually only one.
Try this:
Select all songs and press the Delete key.
This will force iTunes to repopulate the Party Shuffle playlist.
Does the Shuffle button work now?

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!

I seem to be having the same issue. How did you restore your iPod?

2nd gen shuffle not working windows 7

I connected my 2nd gen shuffle to my laptop (Windows 7) and it told me I need to restore it, but Itunes keeps crashing every time i tried. I restared my pc, then it stopped showing in Itunes but showed on devices, and was on. Now it does nothing at all, no lights or anything. Any help appreciated

I have two suggestions. There is an iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
that is only for the 1st and 2nd gen shuffle. It does something like a Restore in iTunes, but works at a "lower" level in cases when a Restore in iTunes does not work (or cannot be used). For it to work, the shuffle does need to be seen by the system, and it sounds like yours meets that requirement.
Unfortunately, I don't think it works with Windows 7. If you happen to have an older PC with 32-bit Windows, you can use that PC to run the utility on the shuffle. Or, maybe you have a friend with a Mac or 32-bit Windows PC that can run it for your. Or, if you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the Genius Bar and ask them to look at it and run the reset utility.
The second suggestion, if you don't have a convenient way to use the reset utility, is to use Windows to reformat the shuffle's storage like it was a flash drive. Use a "full" format (not the "quick" option). Use the "FAT" format type. Make sure iTunes is NOT running. After it is reformatted, it will be blank. When you run iTunes, it should recognize the shuffle and ask you to Restore it (to re-install the software and set it to default settings). Hopefully, it will work this time.

Shuffle not working on either mac or windows?

I've been trying forever to get my 1GB shuffle to work on my home PC. Re-installed and everything as per the instructions on the website, even tried to format the drive. Each time an application such as Itunes or windows explorer trys to access the shuffle it freezes up.
I took it to work and tried it on 3 more computers... a windows 2000 machine, Windows XP Pro machine, and a Mac G5. In fact it totally locked up the G5 when we plug it in, which is the same thing that happens with windows.
The light flashes amber when you plug it in and never stops. Alls the instructions say about that is "do not remove the iPod shuffle". I've left it like that for *5 hours* once, when i came back it was in the same condition.
The shuffle still plays tunes, still appears to be charged/charging. but i've not been able to update it for over a month now.

I have the same problem yesterday. I think Sam has got a solution for this, and i found sometimes it works, but not always.
1. download the lastest version of both itunes and ipod updater.
2. open ipod updater and itunes.
3. when window for ipod updater shows 'insert your ipod', insert your ipod.
4. let the ipod updater restore the initial settings on your ipod.
5. may be after this, itunes could recongise your ipod and transfer music to your shuffle automatically. So, it is a good idea to get all the songs ready in itunes before restoring your shuffle.
BTW, using a rear usb on your pc might be helpful.

Shuffle not working properly

My Itunes library is not working properly. The main problem is the shuffle function. Clicking the shuffle icon to turn it blue and shuffle the play order of the songs does not work. If I sort by name, some of the songs are shuffled where as others will play one after the other (all the tracks in an album).
Also, the start and stop times no longer work, nor does the volume adjustment.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problem.
Any ideas?

Possible Cause:
It sounds like the affected songs are encoded in a format that the iPod shuffle cannot read. Here is a knowledge base article that list the compatible formats:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300464
Troubleshoot:
To check the format of a song, right click it, and select Get Info. A window will come up giving details like, Kind, Size, Bit Rate.
It seems there are multiple songs with this problem so it may be quicker to add a new column to your Song list that will show 'Kind' Follow:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165165
For instructions on how to do this.
Solution:
If this is the case, then I would suggest saving a copy of the song to a compatible format. Instructions for doing this can be found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165172
Note: You are saving a COPY of the song. It does not convert the song, but duplicates the song and the converts the duplicate. So if you do not wish to keep the original (incompatible formated) song then I would suggest deleting it, so you don't get the two songs confused.

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

Third party applications not working

So I had to get a new pearl the other day and everything is the same, but had to redownload my third party apps (like tsn, cnn, etc.). none of them work, they just say redirecting and then waiting and never go to the site, but if I go to that applications website through the browser it works. I figure something in my settings is incorrect for the third-party apps not to work? tried a few different things but nothing seems to help.
can anyone (please) help?

What does it say if you go to About This Mac -> More Info -> Graphics & Displays -> Pixel Depth
1: Try resetting the PRAM.
2: Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Color -> Select another profile or calibrate
3: Go to System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Slide the Contrast bar all the way to the left
Might end up just being a plist to snag though.

I touch music shuffle not working. Same song plays over and over. How do I fix?

The shuffle for my iTouch is not working. It ontinues to play the asme song over and over. I have powered on and off many times as well as re-syncing the unit. I would try to take the battery out to reset but do not know how. What next?

Sounds like the Repeat option has been enabled. To disable it, tap the artwork of the currently playing track to bring up the additional controls. Under the scrubber bar on the left hand side is the repeat setting. Tap it until it turns white meaning that it is off.

Plugin: 3rd Party applets not working

I have an internally developed applet that requires us to install the Plug-In under our IE 5.5 and 6.0 browsers (about 10,000 of them). Upon doing that, I will now have a handful of 3rd party applications that employ applet technology, and that will not work with the Plugin (lots of classnotfoundexceptions being floated around). The only way that I've found I can make these applets work is to turn off use of the Sun Plugin within IE. I am wondering if this is a plugin, or vendor, problem.
* What is the basic problem here?
* Is it that these other 3rd party system are written to an older spec and the 1.4 plugin will not support them?
* Is Sun's plugin not backward compatible with older applets?
* Did these vendors screw up in some fashion in their applets or HTML?
* Is the whole idea of applets inherently flawed?
What are other folks doing to get around these incompatibilities?

I don't your exact problem with the ClassNotFoundExceptions, but it may be because those applets are using Microsoft specific APIs that caused all the lawsuits to fly.
I have had success mixing applets requiring the Java Plug-in with those that need or run best under the Microsoft JDK, as follows:
When the Java Plug-in installs, do NOT take the option that makes it the default plug-in for the browser.
In your web site:
Launch the JDK 1.4 applets with the OBJECT tag.
Launch Microsoft specific applets with the APPLET tag.
