Shake to shuffle shuffles all songs instead of the playlist I am in. Why?

I just purchased my Nano 4th gen, and Shake to Shuffle is pretty cool. But it shuffles all the songs. This is probably by design, perhaps, but it makes more sense to me (being a layman) that I would want to stay in my playlist.
Was there a reason for this? Perhaps I am unreasonable...
Might this change in a later firmware upgrade? At least give us the option to have it shuffle just our playlist, or all songs.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hi CaroleH,
If you are having issues accessing or uploading photos either in apps or Safari, you may want to make sure you have installed the most recent iOS update that was just released:
iOS 8.0.2

They aren't there because you didn't transfer them.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

In future do not rely upon being able to download again. The policy could be discontinued without notice and then you'd be in a mess. Even now you still can't redownload everything. Transfer properly next time and make backups.

I have just set up Itunes match on my new iMac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live. Am I missing something?

Hi
I have just set up itunes match on my new imac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live - I can't access albums or songs. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi,
I do not understand your problem. iTunes Match does not change the way iTunes looks. When match process is complete, the match screen tells you how much music you have in the cloud.
Across the top of screen you have options to select songs, albums, artist, composers etc.
Suggest that from main menu, select view>show sidebar.

Turn on iTunes Sound Check, which you can do by going to Edit > Preferences > Playback and checking the box.
Let us know if that does the trick. If by any chance it does not, use the 3rd party program iVolume.

My songs are on the playlist in my itunes folder but wont sync manually 2 ipod

I have almost 200 songs in one of my folders in itunes. It won't auto sync to my ipod, and when I manually try to sync, it just transfers 1 song. Why?

More info. On the ipod touch I browsed by album. I see all albums have an artist name under them except this one album. That's why it's not showing when I search by artist.
But, if I do a search by artist, it shows up. But if I browse to this artist, it's not there. The song is in the playlist as it should be, but not for the artist. In itunes, this song/album show correctly as far as I can tell.

'itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist 'leo tolstoy- etc' can be copied to this ipod' .

When trying to copy an audio book that I have purchased in itunes (which I have done for years) a messge has suddenly started coming up saying 'Itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist name of book' can be copied to this ipod' ' It worked a couple of weeks ago when I copied half of a book and it has worked for the past few years, but suddenly now none of my ipods will work with audio book yet they will with songs in my playlists. Infact it seems as though my audio books have gone yet they are there in print ...aghhh this is so frustrating.. please can anyone help. thank you

Was there an answer??!!! I have the same issue and its driving me nuts to the point I want to leave apple forever! Itunes *****!!

My classic iPod is syncing all songs instead of just the ones checked

my iPod classic is syncing all songs from library rather than just the ones checked and is not giving me the pull-up screen to make this change

To stop it from syncing automatically when you plug it in, in iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences. Click Devices. Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”
If you click on your device name (from the left side menu) you can check "manually manage music".
You can choose what to sync with that selected .

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

PSE 7 Organizer shows all pictures instead of the selected ones

When i make a selectin in the organizer it will always show all pictures instead of only the selection. This also happens when i create a smart photoalbum, it includes all photo's. It only adds a "not-selected sign" to the photo, but it will still show.

Are the photos with the red circle-slash icon in stacks or version sets? See this FAQ:

All songs synced when selected playlists, artists and genres is used

For some reason when I check check "selected playlists, artists and genres" and uncheck the artists I do not want on the iphone they are not removed.
Reading the forums it was indicated that songs that are part of a playlist will not be removed so I deleted all the playlists and the songs/artists are still on the iphone.
I then removed all songs and added them back in but they are still there.
I even disabled genius and the artists/songs are still there.
I know I can manually manage the music but unchecking the artists would be very unwieldy.
The main summary screen is set to open itunes when this iphone is connected and nothing else and the music tab does not have the automatically fill free space with songs checked.

Just installed iTunes 10 in the hopes that this would resolve the issue but to no avail.
Help please I just want to sync my phone and leave off artists I uncheck (multiple albums and compilations)

Library- Music does not show all songs, some are in playlists?

I just discovered (the hard way) that my Music 'directory' (the first item under Library on the left pane) is not showing all the songs I have installed. I have several playlists that list and play songs not in the main library.
How do I fix this? Is it possible to preserve all my playlists in the process?
iTunes 8.2

I think I have it resolved although I am not 100% confident of that. All I did was drag them back in to iTunes from the iTunes folder and skip the dupes.
I am missing a bunch of songs, and a quick check of my hard drive does not turn them up either. This is stuff I would not have deleted. Really mysterious. Unnerving too.

Why does my iPod make a bloo-bloo-bloop noise and then start playing random tracks from the library instead of the playlist?

This happened once before and seemed to sort itself but I was teaching my class and it kept doing it in the middle of tracks in the playlist. Should I restore and then reload everything?

That sound is either shake to shuffle or a "Your-music-is-corrupt-error".
I believe Apple has a support article on this issue. It means the iPod has encountered an error with your files. You will need to restore your iPod. If the trouble is persistent, there might be a problem with a singular file you will need correct this issue. If the problem still exists take it to an Apple store

How to add my song back to the playlist?

After reinstall iTunes dont find my songs that are in my playlist it asks to locate them which is too much.

Could you expand on the problem a bit? It only don't find the songs in a single playlist? What about the tracks in the main library?
What did you reinstall? Just iTunes?

I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and all I get is the 'google search' page. Why don't I get the Firefox browser page? page

I had Firefox on my old computer and really liked it. I can't remember how I was able to 'mesh' Firefox with my ATT home page. All I have is the 'Google' search page when I open Firefox. The page does not appear to be the same one shown under 'Getting Started', with the various tabs, etc. I'm sure it's something I haven't done correctly but I need help.

google is block in some country. so make sure you are not the citizen of those countries. 2nd, some net admin of some organization will block google for some unsung excuse. so make sure not their reasons. 3rd, if you really could properly get into google days before, try to use "nslookup" to test www.google.com, if it cannot reply a proper ip version 4 address, then it is not the problem of firefox, it is your network connection or networking setting-up problem. so you need a network-engineer-alike buddy to help you. and how to use nslookup, if you can surf online, try another search engine like yahoo.com to get detailed usage of it.
good luck buddy.
