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.

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

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.

After Upgrade to 8.0, problems with album purchases.

O.K., ever since I upgraded to 8.0, I have had problems with two albums I purchased after the 8.0 upgrade. Once I start to play the album, the first 2 to 3 songs will play then before the next one starts, my iPod Classic with stop and restart with the Apple logo. What is going on? I have restored my Ipod and deauthorized and reauthorized my PC but the issue is still here.

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?

Problem with album images (firmware 2.2)

I recently upgraded my iPod Touch (1st generation) to firmware 2.2, and I've been having a problem with my album images. Some of my album images appear black in cover flow and when I'm playing a song from the album. However, in cover flow, I can see the image when it appears at an angle (not the main album I'm looking at). There are also some albums that are the opposite - the image is viewable when you're looking at that album but is not visible from an angle in cover flow.
I've been able to fix some albums by re-copying the songs over to my iPod and then copying the cover art. But then that will mess up some albums that I had fixed previously.
This is very frustrating. Has anyone had this issue and found a way around it?

I have the same setup and the same situation. It would be nice to have fixed.(Maybe in 2.3)
Sorry I don't have an answer but if i find one I'll post it.

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!

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 album art copying to ipod touch

I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

"And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

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.

Problem with album picture on iPod with iTunes 10.2.2.14

I'm using iTunes 10.2.2.14 on windows xp (service pack3) with iPod classic 80Gb.
In iTunes I have 14.000 songs. Most of them with album illustration.
In iTunes these illustrations are available.
On my iPod I can se the covers
On my iPod Classic in [music] [cover flow] view, I see the album pictures
On my iPod Classic in [music] [[Albums] view, no picture is show at all.
When playing the indivualnumber for each album,
I will NOT see the album cover for the first song in that album
However, I do see the albumcovers for the subsequent numbers.
Missing the album for the first song, I can understand the view-per-album does not show any picture
Mostlikely because it will take the album picture from the first song.
But why is is missing with (all) first songs ?
I checked Itunes; the album cover is there.
I have de-installed en installed iTunes.
I have emptied the iPod.
I have reload all the songs in iTunes.
All without result.
An so strange; the same effect for all albums.
Somebody suggestions what the cause is ?
Or how I can overcome / repair this ?
Andre

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Problem with iTunes Shuffle

Recently I noticed a problem while playing music from my iTunes library. Even if I have shuffle on or off, no matter what, the album plays in order. So if I'm playing a song and click "shuffle", the next song played is always the next song on the list, and the next one, etc. It just plays in order. Same happens if I try to shuffle the entire album. Also, I have the same option with repeat. If I have it on "repeat" or "repeat once" it still just goes to the next song.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cameron

Hey there,
In your iTunes window, make sure the icon next to the shuffle one is turned off in the lower left hand corner(if it is not off it will also appear blue like the shuffle icon if it is on.) Hopefully this helps.

Creative zen mozaic 4GB, problems with albums

I have just bought my mozaic, the problem is I put my music in albums, but they are not visible, I can listen to them only as separate songs which is not comfortable as it is more than 700 songs. How to make the albums visible? I would be grateful for any advice. I tried to put them via the programme included and drag and drop but it doesn't work

My English is not good, but I?ll try to explain the solution of the problem how to connect zen?After 2 hours of torment using 6 computers, my zen mozaic was finally connected!So, the first option:Actually it is idiocy, but the 3 computers were connected to zen after the installation of .. nokia pc suite, but after having installed the program, the player was not found.You need to connect any Nokia phone, and only then, zen will be connected!?This method works, it is checked.As I understood the nokia pc suite adds drivers for the MTP protocol when you install the phone.You can try to update your Windows media player, but I did not try it.
Method Two, without the need to install nokia pc suiteInstall Creative Centrale.2)Download and install the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c0cafe798955If Windows XP does not pass the authenticity then download from here:http: / / rapidshare.com/files/20233...tppk2.exe.html. This method worked out on 6 computers. After such "dances with tambourine" Creativedisappointed me Enjoy!?
