Phone shuffles songs rather than playing them in order.

I know there is a shuffle button above the top song on my playlist. If I don't want the songs to shuffle, don't I just tap the first song under "shuffle" == and then shouldn't it play in the order the songs are listed??
What am I doing wrong?
thanks.

With a song in this Playlist selected and in portrait view for the album cover, select the album cover to bring up the time remaining on the song.
To the left of the time remaining indicator is the repeat button/icon and to the right of the indicator is the shuffle button/icon.
Is the Shuffle button/icon selected? If selected, it is blue.

  • After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    I found that clearing the "Up Next" list fixes the problem.  But I have to clear that list everytime I just want to hear just that one album.  Each time I select on song on the album, the "Up Next" list builds it's own list rather than just play through the album.  I think this has something to do with the issue.  How can I fix this?!?!

  • The album downloaded except one song. It says purchased rather than play and there is no option to try and download the one song that had an error.  I deleted the song name from our library, but it still won't let me download. Any advice?

  • Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

    I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

    Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
    Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
    In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
    Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

    Apps designed for iOS do not run on OS X....
    But... media files should still run if that's that you mean.

    Could be a defective SIM.  Try a new one from your carrier.

  • How to play entire CD, song after song rather than selecting each song

    Any clue on how to basically check the box by each song so they play in succession. Currently I have to hit play after each song finishes. It used to work but no longer. Any thoughts?

    Somehow everything was always checked before, a default if you will and even holding down the ctrl key and checking seems like a lot of extra work.

  • How do I merge contacts rather than replace them during sync conflicts?

    I just got my iPhone 4 a few days ago, and the Verizon sales associate transferred the contacts from my previous phone.
    Now, when attempting to sync via iTunes 10.4 (80), I'm given only three options after a sync conflict notification regarding contacts synchronizing: Sync Now, Sync Later, Review changes (or something like that): Rather than merge pre-existing Address Book contacts, it wants to override them, regardless of whatever information I already have in the Address Book, assigning the iPhone info priority (so any Address Book entries would just be overwritten).
    Why is it doing this? It doesn't strike me as well-designed at all, especially since merging contacts seems a fairly common thing these days. An apparent work-around would be manually editing the ~30 contacts in Address Book, and then deleting each off my iPhone, but surely there's a better and faster way? Please help!
    Thanks for reading.

    Try linking cards:
    Open any contact you want to merge, tap on Edit and look at the bottom part of it.  You'll find 'Link Cards' and from there you may select the contact you want to link with the one you're looking at. So if you have:
    Contact 1: John A (job)
    Contact 2:  Business Name (who is also John A but you saved it as a different contact)
    Contact 3: Something else that's also John A
    You can link all three cards into one.  If you choose to, you may unlink them at any time, just tap Edit and then the red circle. Your contacts won't be deleted, but they won't appear under the same ID anymore.

  • Skips songs and doesnt play them all... HELP!

    When I turn my ipod on and push shuffle songs, it skips songs by itself and only plays certain songs. I know they work because I have played these songs on there before, this problem just started a day or so ago. Also when I try to turn off the ipod, it takes a lot longer then it should to turn off. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything to help me?? This is a fairly new ipod, only got it about a month and a half ago.

    The iPod mini was discontinued over a year ago...in Sept. 2005 if I recall correctly. So if you got it in brand-new condition more recently than that, it's probably a different model (in which case you shold go to the respective forum where you might have more luck). Or, is it perhaps are used or refurbished iPod mini?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688
    I know some people who are new to iPods mix up the mini and the nano.
    And, by any chance, are the skipped songs ones that you purchased off of iTunes? I've heard that can happen.

  • Can shuffle songs or random play be used with a playlist?

    After a playlist is on the ipod, can you play the songs in the playlist randomly or in shuffle mode? Haven't been able to find any info on this.

    Well... yes, this works, but for me, it's a bit less than ideal.
    I don't want to have to turn Shuffle on or off then navigate to the desired playlist.
    What I want is a sort of "Smart Shuffle Playlist" that will contain X number of songs that I put into it and will always play those X songs in random order. Other playlists (non-Smart Shuffle Playlists) would not be touched.
    Why? Some playlists would be an exact, fixed sequence of songs that I really prefer to listen to in a particular order. Other playlists would be a bunch of songs that would play in a random order every time.
    The current options are *so close* to this... but just not there.

  • Lightroom 4-How to reorganize files by date when choosing to add rather than copy them to Lightroom

    My photos were in disorganized folders on different hard drives. I was able to import them into Lightroom 4 using COPY, and now my folders are reorganized by year and month on my hard drive, which is how I want them. However, I now have a copy of my photos in my catalog and a copy of each photo in my photo folder on my hard drive. This is taking up too much space. Is there a way to have Lightroom automatically import my pictures and reorganize them into folders by date using the ADD option rather than the copy option when importing from my hard drive? Thank you!

    Meaning that they are still where they were, scattered, and not catalogued in LR.  PLUS, there is a copy of each file in the place you copied them to when you imported them, and these are the versions of the files that are catalogued in LR.  Right?
    You said:
    However, I now have a copy of my photos in my catalog and a copy of each photo in my photo folder on my hard drive.
    Yes, one set, the original ones, viewable only in Explorer/Finder, the other/duplicate set viewable in LR (and/or also in Explorer/Finder).
    You said:  This is taking up too much space.
    So just delete the original versions, as long as you are sure that you have them all in the copied-to location (where they are catalogued by LR).

    As jd_paige says, next time use MOVE instead of COPY.  If you use ADD, they will remain where they are.  Sometimes it is easier to do it this way, and then move/reorganize them once you have them in the catalogue.

  • I'm getting the rainbow wheel when I try tp pen in internet page (Safari). The page half loads then appears to freeze with the rianbow wheel.  I get the same result when I try to stream a movie from NETFLIX.  Freezes up rather than plays (after loading).

    I get the rainbow wheel when I try to open an internet page. It loads halfway, then freezes, with the rainbow wheel whirring around. Smae thing happens when I try to stream a movie on Netflix.  The movie loads, then the wheel shows up and the screen freezes.  Same thing when I try a DVD, it takes the disc, but won't play when I hit on PLAY.
    I am repair permissions, and all that I can do, but I am a novice.  Any help would be greatly appreciated because I spend big bucks and drive 40 miles to get Apple help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
    It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
    You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
    Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
    For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
    You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
    Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
    Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
    Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
    Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
    Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information. 
    Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
    A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically.  With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
    Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
    Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
    If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
    I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

  • Ipod quit shuffling songs...plays same one over and over

    My 32gb iPod touch 4th generaiton quit shuffling songs?  Just repeats the same song even tho I request shuffle.
    This worked fine previously.  Any help appreciated.

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

  • When will Apple let us delete our purchaces rather than hiding them?

    Its kinda stupid that they do this... If i had a stupid app i dont want anyone to know about ever why cant i just delete it rather than hide it?

    AstroDude,
    Currently the Purchase History functions as a history, and like any history you can hide things in your past but you cannot delete them.

  • Why IPod skips songs and ITunes plays them

    I loaded the songs from CD and have played them several times over 2 or 3 years.  Recently, I tried to play them on my IPod Classic and they just skip to the next track.  I have restored my IPod and reloaded it.  Still, the songs won't play.

    Is it only a particular group or tracks or just any of your tracks loaded from CD at random?
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.
