Please Help with Shuffle not playing Podcasts in Playlist order

Hi wanted to find out if others are going thru the same thing concerning PODCASTS. When I download a podcast and I put it into a playlist the podcasts should be able to be played in a sequential order as long as the number column is "clicked" so it plays 1,2,3 and so on. Well thats not happening....UGHHH when I sync my 2G shuffle now after 7.2 upgrade it decides it wants to put an episode of one type of podcast then another episode from another podcasts.. as if it is in random mode... But asure you I have the random/shuffle turned off both on the itunes and the shuffle itself. and everytime I go to sync it I can see the little circle updates syncing out of order and the sync window shows them being copied out of order... And so it syncs it to the order it comes up in the window. I cant get it to stop doing this. I have even tried unistalling 7.2 and quicktime and downgrading to 7.1.1.5 and it still is doing the same thing. Anybody please help this is very irritating... Thanks for your time....

I am trying to auto sort podcasts in a smart playlist.
Click in tethe h very first column and drag the podcasts in the order you want.
Right click on the playlist name and *Copy to play order*.

  • IPod Shuffle does not play podcasts in set order

    I see others have been having this trouble and have tried the recommendations but they are not working.
    I have tried to set the play order of podcasts and am only successful when I sort them by time. If I download a number of podcasts on the same day (someone said that they play by download date) I cannot set the play order. Someone said to drag the podcast to the desired order and that does not work with podcasts. It might with albums but not with podcasts.
    In addition, someone said to drag each podcast to the iPod in the order you want each one played. That does not work, either. Finally, if I do settle for the order displayed in the iPod play list and I haven't sorted by time, the Shuffle will not play them in the order played in iTunes.
    I have Shuffle set in iTunes to repeat all play; not shuffle. I don't use autofill. I'm sure I'm setting the button on the back of the Shuffle to play in order. Is there something I'm overlooking?
    I'm running the latest of both iTunes and iPod Shuffle on Windows XP Pro. I just re-loaded this software on a new computer and had the same problem with XP Pro on the old computer.
    Am I asking too much from iTunes? I don't use it for music. Do I actually need a more sophisticated program other then iTunes if I use Shuffle only for podcasts?

    That is in fact how podacsts work in the iTunes/iPod system. The only sorting is based on release date (time) which is set and sortable only in iTunes. You aren't missing anything,and nothing you do subsequently will affect that order; podcasts are and are treated differently.

  • Help with song not playing properly?

    Hey guys,
    I have an iPod touch and I transferring a song called Low by Flo Rida and when I play it on my iPod, at about the 20 second mark. It works fine in iTunes though. I even downloaded a different version of the song and the same thing happened at the same exact time. Then, I tried to restore my iPod and it still did not work. I do not know why and it is becoming very frustrating. Please Help... Thanks

    Did you rip it with iTunes? At what bitrate?
    Sorry but when you said you downloaded it I assumed (bad idea) it was from the iTunes Store, not ripped.

  • Need help with syncing/not playing songs

    when i plug in my ipod to the computer, the computer recognizes the ipod and says that it syncs all my music, after unplugging it, i still have all my old music on it but none of the new songs i wanted. also none of the songs play. the song title only shows, and after showing it for about a second skips to the next song title and so on not playing anything? any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix it??

    OK so it would appear that it is not connecting to the computer at all yet.
    Is the connector of the cable FULLY seated into the iPod? When you push the plug in it goes in almost all the way in then stops and you then have to give it a pretty firm push to snap it in the rest of the way. A lot of people do not realize it goes in further.
    When fully seated, the barrel of the connector should be completely in the iPod with the white plastic of the connector butting up against the body of the shuffle.

  • Itunes 12 not playing podcasts in correct order

    I upgraded to the new version of itunes and ever since it will not play the oldest podcast to newest as it used to do in itunes 11.  I found the settings and changed the setting to play from oldest to newest, I even changed the setting to show oldest on top and newest on bottom.  neither of these settings seems to be effective in controlling itunes.  How do I get these settings to actually effect itunes and not just be a placebo setting.
    Thanks in advance for all help.

    I'm having the same issue. I tried reinstalling but was not successful. Have also yet to hear back from Apple with a solution. Are you still having the issue?

  • Please help! Ipod not dynamically updating smart playlists!

    I have quite a complex system of smart playlists on my 4G color ipod but I can't get any of them to update dynamically away from the computer. I have a total of 6 and here are their preferences:
    SPL 1:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 4-5 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is less than 5
    limit to 100 by most recently added
    SPL 2:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 0-3 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is less than 4
    limit to 55 songs by most recently added
    SPL 3:
    match ALL
    1) My rating is in the range 3-5 stars
    2) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    3) Last skipped is not in the last 1 day
    4) Playcount is greater than 5
    limit to 30 songs by random
    SPL 4:
    match ALL
    1) Last played is not in the last 1 day
    2, 3, 4) Playlist is not SPL 1, SPL 2, or SPL 3
    limit to 15 songs by random
    Unwanted:
    match ANY
    1) Time is greater than 15 minutes
    2) Genre is Comedy
    The active playlist that I use to listen to:
    match ANY
    1-4) Playlist is SPL 1, SPL 2, SPL 3, or SPL 4
    5) Playlist is not Unwanted
    So here's the problem. When I sync with my computer, the playlists work great, everything updates as expected and I get a pretty diverse playlist every time I sync which I want. The problem is that while I'm listening to my music on the ipod away from the computer, my playlists don't dynamically update. After I listen to a song, the song's supposed to remove itself from the playlist which doesn't happen, as well as when I skip songs. Even when I rate songs that aren't rated they don't appear in any playlist. This is really frustrating and I can't find a solution anywhere and yes, I do have Live Updating selected. I also have "Match only checked items" selected on all playlists as well. If anyone has any ideas for how to fix this, I would love to know. Thanks!

    I was searching this forum and found someone who says that 4th gen ipods have problems live updating smart playlists if the criteria "last skipped" is on the playlist. I took this off of all of my playlists but they still don't work. Then I tried making a playlist that is just "rating is equal to 5 stars" and it WORKS!!! But that doesn't help me out much for my other playlists so maybe it's some other criteria that's causing the problem. Any ideas?

  • Please help with ability to play Mp3 Email attachments

    I am new to the iPhone (as most of us are) and one of the key services I have with my previous Windows Mobile phone was that I would receive voice mails left on our corporate messaging service via email to my cell phone.
    I would get an e-mail with a caller ID on it and an mp3 file which was the audio message I could play.
    In my office when one of these emails comes in to my PC, I click to play the mp3 file and my itunes opens and the message plays - however, when the message comes to my iPhone, the attachment shows up, but is greyed out and NOT playable.
    Since Apple prides itself on being a "MultiMedia, digital" type of company, I sincerely hope that this oversight can be resolved quickly via a firmware upgrade.
    I tunes can of course play mp3 files, so I would think this should be a relatively easy issue to resolve.
    How about it Apple - can this get on your list of updates???
    Thank you,

    Any ideas what is happening? last version of Ae and quicktime...
    Thanks a lot.

    We can't know anything. You are not telling us what is involved in the projects or any other details like system informtaion. Perhaps you forgot to download some complimentary footage, perhaps you are missing a CoDec to use footage that comes with the project, perhaps there is some other technical issue like some CoDec or effect not being compatible with your render settings.... In any case, you will have to spill a lot more details and provide more screenshots.

    You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.
