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.

What is wrong with the Shuffle feature???

When shuffle is on, and I have 130 songs on my phone, it should never, ever play the same song twice, until it has cycled through them all. You'd think this would be basic shuffle logic.
But well over 30% of the time, it replays songs it played within the last 10 songs. And yes, all my songs are set to 'White' on the little shuffle icon. None are set to blue (repeat).
Sometimes it will go about 10 songs, and then repeat just one. Then another later. The longer I listen, the more it will begin to replay a song it's already played in that listening session.
Ultimately, I believe I hit maybe 30 or 40 of the 130 total songs. I don't think I've ever branched out past this.
After driving in my car for about 40 mins, there is absolutely no reason I should ever hear another song, with 130 on the iPhone. But as each new song comes on, I have to go past 3 or 4 of them just to get to a "new" one that hasn't already played.
Can someone tell me whats up with this?
I do see something in iTunes that allows you to give songs a "Star" rating of some sort on your playlist. I believe this makes them "more" or "less" important and may increase their probability of of being played more often. If this is the case, how can I set them all to zero stars in one swoop?
Thanks

I don't believe song ratings has anything to do with the Shuffle feature on the iPhone, or on a iPod. iTunes includes an option to play higher rated songs more often when using the Party Shuffle feature.
If a Reset has no effect, you shouldn't lose anything when Restoring your iPhone with iTunes.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone when syncing. Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process - if any of the data stored with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
The backup stores your iPhone settings, including email accounts, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, cities tracked with the Weather widget, stocks tracked with the Stocks widget, Maps bookmarks, youtube bookmarks, recent calls, call favorites, visual voicemail, alarms, World Clock settings, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one.
Before restoring your iPhone, you should import any photos to your computer that are available on your iPhone that were captured by your iPhone, and then sync to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
When restoring, your iPhone is completely erased, and then the current firmware version is re-installed. After the current firmware version is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other option is to restore your iPhone as a new iPhone, or not from your iPhone's backup. This must be followed by a sync to re-transfer the data that should remain on your computer, such as iTunes content, contact information, calendar events, bookmarks, and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
I believe the logic and reasoning behind doing a Reset first, which doesn't affect any data or settings, is it may make a difference. It is possible to do a Restore without losing any data, which may make a difference if a Reset doesn't.

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing. tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I 've a problem with the print function of Itunes

helo , i 've a problem with the print function of Itunes.
When i'm trying to create a pdf file of my entire library, i've got a partial file of it.

Problems with the Resume feature

Hello.
Since I installed Lion I've been having a problem with the Resume feature. I've been searching for a solution, or at least others with the same problem, but in vain.
I've always used the feature, but sometimes it works, other times not so much. As an example: I might have Safari opened with multiple tabs and TextEdit opened with multiple windows too, even Finder with multiple windows opened. I shutdown/restart with Resume checked and when it's login in the first thing I see are all the windows I had from last time, after a few moments the Safari window disappears (but the application is still opened), or the TextEdit windows disappear, or even Finder or other application I might had open before. It seems to be a little random in terms of what applications "lose" their windows at login, sometimes all, a few, or none.
Is anyone having the same problem? Is it a bug or a problem with the installation?
Appreciate the help.

are some of these apps on fullscreen mode? they will disappear after opening, since they can't all be visible at the same time.
and do you use spaces? similar story, if the app in question is in a space other than finder.

What a vague and useless question.
A search of the forums would have revealed issues that others are having.
Why does it matter though? Are you having issues? If not.. why would you care?

I have a problem with the latest version of itunes not responding when i open it.

Every time i open itunes on my PC i cant do any thing and have to use task manager to close it as it keeps not responding

Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all. Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff. I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management. The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
I like to listen to podcasts. What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store. So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version. Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod.

Problems with the Diff-Feature

Hello there,
i am new to EMF-Compare and i use it to compare parts of my models. I have enountered a problem with the comparison where there are differences but the compare algorithm cant find them.
here are my two models
Here is the code i use:
IComparisonScope scope = new DefaultComparisonScope(sourceEPackage,
deletedModelEPackage, null);
Comparison comparison = EMFCompare.builder().build().compare(scope);
List<Diff> differences = comparison.getDifferences();
After i have run the code the list is empty.
Any other changes are found and properly shown.
The model on picture 2 is contained in another element not shown in the screenshot. Is it possible that this causes the error?
I am using org.eclipse.emf.compare with version 3.0.2.201501201328
I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Simon,
Unfortunately, EMF Compare doesn't support the comparison of EGenerics inside EType Parameters yet. So it is normal that you see no differences in your case.
You can raise an enhancement bug to describe what you need: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=EMFCompare
If you're interested to contribute to EMF Compare and manage this case, you can follow the contributor guide: https://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare/Contributor_Guide

Is anyone having problems with the newest update of ITunes and then trying to update the Iphone 4?

I updated the ITunes on the computer and that went ok, but when i went to go and update the IPhone 4 it went to restore it to the factory settings and then something happened where it wouldn't let it update and now the phone is stuck in Limbo world with the apple symbol showing and a status bar, but nothing else. also the phone is not showing up as being plugged in while in this limbo faze.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Problems with the 'Comments' field in iTunes

First, sorry for my english (I'm danish).
I've read a lot of threads here and everywhere else, but can't find a solution for my exact problem. I use Windows Vista and the newest version of iTunes.
Most of my mp3 songs (35.000) are put directly in album folders to the folder 'D:My Music from another computer via a USB drive and the songs already have id3 tag information on them.
I then add the albums to iTunes and most of my tag information is now updated in iTunes. Names, Artists, Genre, Year, everything is okay. By the way the songs have ID3v2.3 tag information. I see that in my Mp3tag v.2.42 application.
But the problem is with the 'Comments' field:
Those tags (originally put to the songs directly in the proberties of the song in Windows Explorer) will simply not transfer to iTunes 'Comments' field. And if I write something in the iTunes 'Comments' field this will not show up in the fields properties in windows Explorer. It looks like the 'Comments' fields in iTunes and in the proberties in the song are not connected at all!?
I then found out, I could let iTunes convert the ID3 codes, but nothing happens except from when using v. 1.0 or 1.1, because then the comments tag are transferres, but unfortunately all the tags will only show 30 characters!!!
And there's also a different story:
A few albums though are put directly on my computer by using iTunes to import the CD. These songs have ID3 v.2.2 tags, so I guess iTunes import files in that format?
And here it's a little different story. If I put comment data directly to the file proberties in Windows Explorer (after the CD's been imported to iTunes), the comments will show up in iTunes, but only as several 0 and 1 digits! On the other hand, if I put information directly in iTunes 'Comments' field it wil show up correctly in the file proberties! But it's only a few songs/albums that are handled that way.
Well, bottom's line, I want to see my comments tags (which are allready there in the song's proberties) when I browse my music in my folders in Windows Explorer and I want to see the exact same comments if I go to browse my music in iTunes. That should not be a problem ... but it is not ...
Can I please get a solution or at least an explanation, and hopefully in not too tecnical terms.

I, too, hope someone will answer this! I am hoping to catalog my entire CD collection in iTunes and I want to include the storage box number somehow, thinking that "comments" would be a good place to do so. If I cannot do that I'll try to find a program other than iTumes to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic? ...perhaps I need to open a new thread?
THANKS!
Doug

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 the instalation/launching of Itunes 7.1

first of all...I upgraded MSN 7.5 to live messenger (big mistake) and since I wasn't happy with it I tried to return to my old msn,so I made a restore system to 2 days before that,no problem here,but after that I tried to launch iTunes and it couldn't open, arguing it can't launch because there's a problem with my audio config
I tried to fix this with the guide in the site and it still doesn't work, I uninstalled and reinstalled both versions (7 and 7.1) and both have the same error,also my msn doesn't have any sounds so...maybe that **** crappy live messenger f*cked up some of my config but as much as I do I can't figure it out how to fix it.
anyone please help me here

it can't launch because there's a problem with my audio config
typically that's caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video and audio playback.)
the following document may be of some help with that:

Strange problems with shake shuffle feature. Help? :S

Hi, I have a nano chromatic and I've been noticing that the shake shuffle feature has been giving me a bit of trouble. At first, it was just the album art problem, where different songs would have another one of my songs' album art. Recently its started to show album art from songs that are not on my ipod and have never been on there either.
Now, I'll be going through my songs on shuffle and I'll get to the 17th song and then I'll skip to the next song and it will be a song I had skipped past like 5 songs back. I'll check the song number and it will say 146 or something. Its getting really annoying. Anyone else having this problem? or can anyone help me? I only want to have to use restore as a last resort.

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.
