Problem with Smart Shuffle

So I dutifully installed the new Itunes 5. And everything is great except that now I cannot shuffle any of my playlists. I have tweaked the smart shuffle controls, but to no avail. The new playlists cannot be shuffled. Any ideas?

hi Joe!
just checking to confirm something. have you tweaked these controls too?
To choose whether iTunes shuffles individual songs, complete albums, or groupings, choose Edit > Preferences, then click the Playback tab. Select Song, "Complete albums," or Grouping. If you select "Complete albums," or Groupings, iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping randomly.
love, b

Serious problems with my Shuffle (1GB)...

Alright I am having serious problems with my Shuffle that have been going on for some time.
1) Whenever I plug my Shuffle into the computer the green light stays on constantly and my computer doesn't detect it.
2) My PC 50% of the time crashes about 10 seconds after my Shuffle is plugged in.
3) Whenever I get my computer to detect my Shuffle it automatically disconnects and reconnects itself very quicky (every 30 seconds or so).
4) Whenever I try to update the drivers on it it displays an error message on my PC saying "Disk Write Error" in the update window.
Any suggestions?

I'd give this a shot:

Good luck

Problems with Album Shuffle

Hi all.
I have a problem with Album Shuffle mode. Basically, I am trying to listen to my albums, but it will start treating songs from the same album as being from different albums. I have tried editing the info of the tracks to be identical in every way, I have even used the multiple editing feature, and they are in the same folder in my iTunes Music library. I am stuck with what to do, as I really like the album shuffle feature and don't want to have to manually choose the next album and such. Can you guys help at all? Would be very grateful for any advice

I tinkered with it a little more, and no idea HOW I fixed it, but it's working now. Maybe had something to do with genres.

Yes ... pay attention to how and where you clip the shuffle. Moisture can enter the controls if in contact with damp surface, OR can enter through the earphone jack along the earphone wire... positioning the shuffle such that the earphone socket is down will prevent the latter.
I recently discovered that the mode switch on my shuffle is very sensitive and will change from play-in-order to shuffle with a tiny positional movement. Interestingly, that resulted in behavior that, on the surface looked like the shuffle just quit! I normally listen to to audiobooks and other spoken material which are set to NOT be shffled... however , I forgot to set ONE 1/2 hour radio show to not shuffle. When I accidentally nudged the mode switch, the shuffle switched to playing that show. Trying to get bact to the audiobook I had been playing by multiple << presses confused the issue totally since the shuffle now displayed absolutely no indication of the button presses...it behaved as if it were dead! Turning it off and on didn't help either. Since it was dark, I couldn't see that the mode switch was slightly out of its normal play-in-order position, either. I put the shuffle away and soldiered on listening to a different audiobook on my nano.

Problem with smart Playlist after Upadte to 10.6 - PLEASE UPDATE SOON, Backup not possible

Apple, Apple, Apple... (again)
Is it so difficult to let things, that are quite good, just there where they are??
After updating my iTunes, OS Lion and some other stuff 2 days ago, I have now a big problem with a smart Playlist in iTunes 10.6. Before updating all things was right.
The problem: Now, AFTER UPDATE, my Playlist ist totally empty!
Before they were over 2000 songs in it.
And because this is my major-smart-Playlist, which is established to my whole other Smart-Playlists, the other ones are also empty.
And this is not the first time Apple.
It´s good, if you - apple guys - just added something like new categories to sort of music (like "iCloud-Status" or some others).
BUT WHAT DID YOU THINK, WHEN YOU DELETED THE OPTION "VALUATION" - mh??? (I hope in english this is the word that used in Itunes - my iTunes is in German)
So I don´t mean the "lines" - I don´t know the right english word - when you see the music. There you can fade in "Album-Valuation" - new - AND "Valuation" - old.
But I mean in the options of the smart-playlists - THERE ARE ONLY "Album-Valuation"!!!!! What the heck....
EVERYONE NEEDS THE NORMAL Song-"Valuation" - and not the album (because normaly you decide by each track how good he is and not by the whole album).
You can let the Album ones in it, BUT PLEASE BRING THE NORMAL ONE BACK.
So, in my case, I tried to go back to iTunes 10.5.3 with my nice Time-Machine-Backup. So, but I couldn´t because there came a bug-message that said something like "It is not possible because OSX need the Programm".
What is that?
I also couldn´t delete the iTunes app from my app-folder.
So, and now?
I had to totally restore my volume !
What is that for a solution?!
So please think before you delete any functions, who is needed by many people.
And if you did, maybe ask some users, that uses for example smart-playlists alot, if there is a problem about some changes, you want to add.
I hope anyone from Apple read this and also answer me. Because I´m upset about that.
In every iTunes-Update I am concerned about what will be after the update.
For example in the past, there was more than one changes in iTunes with the Valuation. First, there was just whole stars to set for every song. Than, after a long time, Apple decided to give the options for also half stars. So I said to myself - hey that´s great, that I don´t have to use external apps anymore to set these. So I did this to many of my songs (and that´s many).
Than - after an Update - wow, all half stars rating are gone ! Great Apple, really great.
I was VERY upset.
So after an other update, the opportunity to give half stars are back.
I thought, my god, it is so difficult to talk with other guys, that worked before on iTunes if I am new or just to look if there was already a change in that part of the app???
So, apple guys, please don´t think that I want to attack you. But please be more carefull in the future. I hope that I don´t have to worry too much about so stuff. I really have better things to do with my time.
So, have a nice weekend.
Greetings from Germany.

Problem with the shuffle mode in Z V P

Hi everbody,?I have a problem with my Z V Plus and I was?wondering if anyone could help. The problem is that when I listen to a playlist in the shuffle mode and then for any reason switch off the player, when I resume listening the player lose track of all the songs played before and starts the playlist from the beginning (i.e.) it repeats the tracks I've already listened to the last time. What makes the problem worse is that it seems that player gets fond of a certaing group of songs and just keeps playing them over and over again preferring them to other songs in the playlist. It's worth mentioning that I'm using the "shuffle" not the "shuffle repeat" mode and that I've already updated my player with the latest firmware. Also to be specific I've to mention that sometimes I press the "pause" button before switching off the player, other times I don't. Thoughts anyone?

Do you have an Arabic version of Firefox installed which isn't displaying the vowelization correctly, or are you trying to read it using an English language version?

42L6200U - Problems with Smart Apps

I love my new Smart-TV! However, there seem to be some problems with the included apps.
1. Vudu Movies fails to connect regularly although the wireless network connection is functioning properly.
2. Flickr app included in Vudu Apps sends me to a non-existent web page to obtain a password.
(http://www.vudu.com/flickr)
I have contacted Vudu about this and they sent me to Flickr
I have contacted Flickr about this and they sent me to Vudu
I updated the firmware as soon as the TV was delivered so am running the latest versions. I would appreciate assistance from anyone who has experienced the same or similar issues.
Thanks!

Yes, my Netflix app is working perfectly. Very impressed with the quality of the streaming!
My biggest annoyance is Vudu Movies! I connected yesterday afternoon on the second attempt. Last night I tried 10 times without success!
I am going to hard-wire the TV to my local network and see if that makes any improvements as compared to the Wi-Fi connection.

Sound problem with iPod Shuffle

Well, I have a problem with my iPod Shuffle. My Shuffle is about 11months old and I have not had any big problems with it but now I have.
When I'm listening to my music on my Shuffle, I do not hear any sound from my right earphone unless I press down the connecting part of the earphones (I meen the part that goes in to the iPod, don't know the name). So is there anybody that has the same problem and should I send it to the support?

Hi! I have the EXACT same problem with my iPod shuffle! (Except that it is in the LEFT ear and not the RIGHT.) I used to be able to fix it by pressing on the plug thing, but now no matter what I do it still doesn't work. (I've had mine for about, 9 1/2 months.) I'm trying right now to figure out what I want to do with it (whether I'm going to send it in or not), because I also have a purchased warranty from Futureshop, where I bought it... so if you get anymore info about this problem, let me know!

How do I fix problem with Smart Sharpen & CR as filter

Smart Sharpen doesn't apply (or apply completely). Photoshop CC on Mac OSX 10.7.5
new merged layer > Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen > adjust sliders > toggle Preview > click OK (progress bar) > nothing or 50% applied
1. Smart Sharpen (SS) shows changes from sliders in SS dialog box AND on underlaying image in PS but checking and unchecking the Preview box only toggles the image in PS, the SS dialog box does not change.
2. After clicking 'OK' SS does not seem to apply at normal ranges but when the radius is cranked up to super ugly it appears to apply at about 50% (Opacity and Fill are at 100%).
Related Problem:
After using 'Camera Raw as a filter' on a new merged layer, then adding a layer mask, and then painting with a brush at 100% opacity and Flow, it appears that only about 50% opacity is applied to the mask from the brush.

I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

Problems with iPod Shuffle: nobody sees it after format

I have a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle, and it worked alright for a month.
However, I noticed an empty 0 bytes mp3 file I could not delete with either Windows or iTunes, and decided to format the device. Being foolish enough to do so, I formatted it via Windows to FAT, and then it synchronized with iTunes library OK (I did not reset or restore it with iTunes) But after I copied some music (about 600Mb) there and disconnected it from my PC, it wouldn't work.
The green light near the on/off button is on, but the light on the other side is not glowing.
I tried to connect it to my PC again, but neither iTunes (version 7.0.2, however I doubt it matters) nor Windows XP sees it. I downloaded the iPod Reset Utility, but it doesnt see the iPod either.
I don't know what to do to bring it to life again.

I have similar problems. I formatted mine under FAT32 with Windows' disk management mmc. Then i restored it with ipod shuffle's restore utility. after that I plugged it back in, itunes recognized a new ipod, prompted me for a new name with an option for "autofill".
I first unchecked autofill, and tried to manually drag files over to my shuffle, but it fails to complete the sync process. then I tried changing its options under itune's Settings panel for my shuffle, it fails to sync too.
so then i reformatted it in FAT32, restored it with the utility program. i opened itunes, typed in a new ipod name and CHECKED autofill. this time it completes the autofill on its first recognition phase, i could even listen to the song after i disconnected it from my PC. but when i reconnect it again, itunes can't sync with my ipod just as the previous try.
I also tried enabling Disc Mode, but unfortunately my itunes is unable to sync with ipod, so the option was never enabled...
Please Help!

ITunes Version 11.0.0.163 problem with iPod Shuffle

I downloaded iTunes V11.0.0.163 and can't figure out how to copy purchased songs onto my suffle. I've had no problem with previous versions. Can someone tell me how? Copy and paste, drag and drop don't work anymore. In trying it changed the name of the target playlist to the name of the alblum with the song title appended to it but didn't add the song. I'd restore and rebuild the shuffle but am afraid I won't be able to add music to it.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Problems with the shuffle feature in itunes.

When I first bought my nano I would create playlists in itunes and turn the shuffle on there. You would see on the screen that the playlist was shuffled, and it would be when you went to use the ipod. After an update though I would do the same thing and the itunes screen shows it shuffling but the ipod plays the songs in alphabetical order still. Even when I plug the nano back in to my computer the itunes still show's it as shuffling. my software is the most up to date version.
anyone else having this problem?

To shuffle a playlist on an iPod, in the settings menu, make sure that shuffle is set to "songs". Then select any playlist, then press play (not select). The songs within that playlist will be shuffled.

Problems with Smart List in Forms.

Hi,
I set Smart List in my Account Dimension.
In HP Documentation (9.2 and 9.3.1) I read that is posible to allow or not allow a user using Smart List for a specific member of account through a form option.
I already used this option in HP 9.2, but in 9.3.1 it do not exist this option in dataform, even so in 9.3.1 documentation says that it's posible.
I wanna Know if someone have used this option in 9.3.1.
I have been thinking in re install Planning or duplicate member that I need use sometimes with Smart List and sometimes writing a number.
Any idea???
Thanks

John,
That is true, it states that there is an option to turn Smart List off and on for any data form. It does state within the admin guides but I don't see the option when I edit the data forms.
Am I missing something?
Best Regards,
Tammy Bian CarlileI think the documentation is saying you can either have all the forms displaying smart lists or the other choice is not to have them, this is defined by using the evaluation order.
Cheers
