Playlist shuffle order the same on multiple ipods?

I'd like to have a random playlist of songs that is in exactly the same order on several ipods. I seem to recall in previous versions on iTunes that I could shuffle a playlist and save it as a new playlist, but I don't seem to be able to do that now.

I have solved this in a roundabout way:
     Copy the song files to an old laptop that's still running an ancient version of iTunes (Vers 4)
     Shuffle the songs in a new playlist on that laptop
     Export the song list (playlist) as a text file
     Import that playlist back into my current computer and iTunes
     Voila! A random playlist that I can copy to multiple iPods

    Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

  • Playlists songs not the same in iTunes-iPod Touch (most often played)

    I have created some smart playlists based on "most often played" or "most recently played", and the thing is than on iTunes, the playlists' content is correct but when I open the playlist on the iPod Touch, the songs that show up are not the ones supposed to. I tried changing the "most" recently played to "least" recently played, and it worked for the iPod Touch in the way that know I can have the MOST RECENTLY PLAYED songs but actually I'm using the "least recently played" criteria so in iTunes is all the other way around, it really shows the LEAST RECENTLY PLAYED!! What can I do to fix this??? Thank you very much.

    There is a 3rd option (besides disabling live updates, or sorting things in reverse): construct a similar 'smart' playlist without using the 'select by' rule. So, for example, if you usually pick the '50 most recently played', create a list of 'played within the past 5 days'. Or instead of the '50 least recently played', try 'last played more than 3 months ago'.
    These alternative playlists won't be limited to a fixed size, but they can accomplish similar goals, and they avoid the bug.
    Whether this solution is better (or worse) than reverse-sorted playlists depends on your preferences. For me, this works reasonably well (and the lists appear the same in iTunes and on the Touch).

  • How does iCal, or Calendar, order the display of multiple events for the same time?

    I can't for the life of me figure out how iCal orders the display of multiple items at the same time.  Does anyone have a clue?  It's not alphabetical.  It's not according the the order of the calendars in the left pane.  Is it just random?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In the focus lost eventhandling start a thread which does
    the actual handling.
    the new thread waits for a little time (0.1 seconds)
    the click event of the button checks for a thread like the one above and tells it not to execute
    This way you execute the for the lost focus event only if
    the ok button isn't clicked in the same process ... not
    realy good, because it kind of relies on the ordering of threads ... but maybe it still works for you?

  • Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car?

    Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car? I have got a jack going to my sound system the issue i would like to solve is charging at the same time

    Since the shuffle (except for the 1st gen shuffle) uses the same "port" (the headphones jack) for sound output and charging, there is no way to do both concurrently.
    NOTE:  You can charge and play at the same time on the old white 1st gen shuffle that looks like a USB flash drive.

  • Playlists shuffled in itunes but alphabetic in ipod

    I have an ipod classic which recently crashed and was reset and is working fine except my playlists are playing in alphabetic order rather than shuffled as they are in itunes. How do I fix that.
    Also, can I suffle a playlist and then move songs into a different order? Instructions say you can but it is not working. Is there a thorough description of playlist functions somewhere?

    The shuffle function in iTunes is independent that the shuffle function on the iPod. In the iPod, if you go from the main menu into the settings, you will find a shuffle option. You can change it to OFF, Songs, and Albums. Generally you want SONGS to randomly shuffle your music.
    The iPod setting is universal to all "lists" you can play in the iPod (unlike iTunes where you can turn on/off shuffle for individual playlists). So... when you go to your playlist, it will be listed in alphabetical order (by artist I believe?). When you begin playing out of that playlist, it will play whatever song you start it with, but then after that, all other tracks from the playlist should play in random (shuffled) order.
    So check your iPod and turn on the shuffle function in the settings menu.

  • Using both 1st and 2nd Generation Shuffle on the same computer

    After owning a 1st Gen Shuffle for a number of years, today I decided to upgrade to a 2nd Gen.
    What I would like to know is, can I use both shuffles on the same computer, through the same iTunes program, using the same music library?
    There's nothing wrong with the 1st Gen unit, but I still want to use it as a back-up/secondary unit to the 2nd Gen one.
    I have yet to connect the 2nd Gen unit to my computer. Before I do I would like to know whether or not I can use both the old and the new units. Also is there anything special I need to do to allow this to happen.
    thank you.

    Nothing special to do. Connect new iPod and let it sync. Make sure only one is connected at a time.

    I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

    I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • How to keep all text and formats the same on multiple computers?

    I'm creating a file in InDesign CS6 on my Windows computer. I keep everything on my flash drive. When I go to school, I bring my flash drive with me and open it up on the Mac computer, but then there are are compatibility issues. There seems to be missing fonts and formats but the school uses the same version of InDesign I do. Now I was told a lot of things of how to keep the fonts and formats the same (embed the links, package the files, outline the text, save as IDML). However, it is not clear to me what each of those options do, so I don't know when or why to use them. So I just want to make sure that when I bring in my file in next Monday, I won't have any missing fonts or formats. What would you suggest is the proper things to do to keep everything the same on multiple computers? And could you please explain why?

    If you want cross-paltform comaptibility limit the fonts to OpenType or Windows TrueType formats, both of which work on both Mac and PC. To avoid missing font warnings the fonts must either be installed on each computer, or they must be in a folder named Document Fonts in the same location as the .indd file they are to work with. Packaging the file will build taht folder for you.
    the rest of the stuff in your list won't help you. .idml would allow you to open on an older version, but does nothing for your situation. Embedding the links will keep you from having missing links, but so will packaging, and embedded links will make the file much larger and harder to work with.
    For goodness sake, don't even think about outlining the text. It stops being text when you do that and you can no longer edit it.
    And finally. do yourself a big favor and don't attempt to actually work on your file directly from the flash drive. Copy the whole package folder to the hard drive, work on it, then copy back. You don't want to know how many files are fatally damaged by write errors on flash drives.

  • Is it possible to copy the same database multiple times simultaneously?

    This is the setup of my environment.
    I have a 'master' database that contains the full schema plus some pre-populated data such as default settings. When database schema changes are made, they get made to the master database. When a new customer signs up for the service, I make a copy of this
    master database (using SMO) that will now be the database containing all of the customer's information. The database is rather large, and the copy operation can take a couple minutes.
    Everything works fine as expected, unless I try to provision two new customers at the same time. It appears that Azure only allows for one DB copy operation at a time. Is there a way to allow for copying the same database multiple times simultaneously?
    Thanks for you input. I understand that this is likely not the optimal setup, and that there is many better ways of doing this, but I am somewhat heavily invested in the current process and I would like to find out how to make it work if I can.

    BTW, you can do this programatically by using PowerShell (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210569.aspx), SqlPackage (http://www.benday.com/2012/12/18/deploy-a-sql-server-database-projects-dacpac-with-sqlpackage-exe/)
    or the SQL Server binaries for .NET (http://www.vijayt.com/Post/Deploying-a-data-tier-application-in-SQL-Azure-programatically)
    Hope this helps.

  • I complete and ordered a hardcover photo book.  Now, I would like to order the same photo book as a soft cover or wire bound.  IPhoto does not seem to have directions for this process.

    I completed and ordered a hardcover photo book,  Now I would like to order the same book but with a soft cover or wire bound cover.  IPhoto doesn't seem to have a feature which just lets me change the completed book to another type of cover.

    see my answer to your previous duplicate post
    duplicate the book in case of issues and use the change \theme button - select the same theme and the new format - preview (in case anything has changed) and order

  • Running the same code multiple times with different paramters automatica​lly

    Hi guys,
    I want to run the same code multiple times with different paramters automatically. Actually, I am doing some sample scans which takes around 2 hours n then I have to be there to change the paramters and run it again. Mostly I do use folowing paramters only
    X_Intial, X_Final, X-StepSize
    Y_Intial, Y_Final, Y-StepSize
       Thanks,
    Dushyant

    All you have to di is put all of the parameters for each run into a cluster array. Surround your main program with a for loop and wire the cluster array through the for loop. A for loop will autoindex an input array so inside the for loop you just have to unbundle the cluster to get the parameters for each run.
