Shuffle Capability Question

How can I shuffle just Playlists and On-The-Go Playlists?

Make sure that shuffle is set to "songs".
Then select any playlist and press play. The songs within that playlist will be shuffled.

Shuffled Playlist Question

Instead of having to navigate back and fourth between the Settings menu and the Music menus, is it possible to create a Playlist (or SPL) that contains the majority of my collection but shuffles the music? I've tried a variety of set ups that look like they will work when viewed through iTunes, but when played through the iPod they play everything in order (ie not shuffled).

Well I hear what you are saying, but as you pointed out, these things seem to be beyond the current capability of the iPod. On that same note, this 5th Gen video iPod I have is my very first iPod and while I do love it, I am actually rather shocked at the limited features it has or what I feel are obvious things it should be able to do but doesn't.
Ya, as each new generation of iPod has come along Apple made big steps forward in the big things it could do, like black and white to a color screen then to showing photos then doing video. But the little features (that are just programming) that should have been added to the user interface, seem to have been forgotten.
Here is an example of one that to me would have been an obvious user interface features: Being able to delete a song from the iPod and then (maybe optionally) have that same song removed from the iTunes library when you sync. How many times have you been out and about with your iPod, a song comes one, maybe one of the last tracks of a new album you recently imported and you think to yourself, "well this song is a dud"? I want to delete it from my iPod and my library. So I either have to remember what song it is or make a note somewhere (by the way, I often end up with a post it note on the back of my iPod at work just for that purpose). It would be easier to have a built in delete function on the iPod or at the very least, a "delete me" flag you can turn on so when you get back to your computer, iTunes can show you the ones you tagged to be removed.
Another feature I would like to see for the color iPods is the ability to change screen and font color. Since there is no way to actually dim the LCD screen (another missing feature) at night, in a dark car, etc. that screen can be really overly bright. So how about being able to change the screen color from white to a less bright color like dark blue. Or how about a night mode where the screen is black and the font is white? Or how about a night vision mode with a red screen so you don't ruin your night vision? Obviously if the iPod can show video, having screen and font colors changeable should be super easy.
Then there are the weird things. For example, I play a few songs on the iPod. I then go and look in the Recently Played list. The songs are there but it seems to be a sort of random order. The songs I just played are not at the top like in iTunes, but are towards the bottom, and not in the order I played them. I haven't bothered to figure out the order they are in but it is probably something that makes little sense like sort by date, then by artist name, but the list only shows song titles, so it looks jumbled. Weird.
So that is my long winded way to say, your idea of a changing play list with a dynamic shuffle sounds great, but considering I can not even remove a song from the iPod without a computer, must be blinded by the light if I touch the controls of my iPod while in a dark car, and my choices of screen and font colors are about the same as Henry Ford offered on his cars, don't hold your breath!

Some Gen 1 shuffle syncing questions

1. I want to plug my Gen 1 shuffle into someone else's Mac to charge it, but don't want to have it resync with their song list. Can I do this? What do I have to set?
2. In the user's guide for the Gen 1 shuffle, it describes a method for keeping the shuffle in the Source list when it isn't connected. This involves clicking on the Options button. In the current iTunes, there does not seem to be an options button. Is there any way to keep the shuffle in the Source list currently?
3. I am thinking of giving my shuffle to a friend. What steps will she need to go through to rename it and have it sync with her own music library?
I'd appreciate any help with these questions. Thanks!

On YOUR computer;
To prevent iTunes from opening automatically when you connect iPod shuffle:
1 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the Source list and click the Options button.
2 Deselect “Open iTunes when this iPod is attached.”

Api/capability question re. simple chat room creation

Hi
I stumbled across cocomo this evening and it looks like it could save a lot of time but need to know something before investing in a lot of reading/playing about. I need to be able to create a public chat room on-the-fly that will permanently stay.
I don't want to manually create a room.
Does the SDK allow this? (sorry if its an obvious question).
The app is a bit like a CB radio where a web user can pick a channel in their own geographical location. e.g. members of a particular zip area get directed to a room. If the room for that zip does not exist then it's created...
If all users go away the room remains. Other users can jump in etc..
Is the capability there? Anyone know of any close examples I could use ?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

yes, we provide service API that you can call from a separate server that allow you to create and manipulate rooms.
we have libraries for a few languages (ruby, python, php, java, ColdFusion) so it should be pretty easy for you to implement what you describe.

General Capability Question

I wish to maintain a "collection" of produced digital video clips that can be web published. Say, on the left side of web page screen, is the video clip field. On the right side, are fields to be filled in by user. (Data to be stored in database). Based on user supplied data in each field, the video would "jump" to the proper clip and play instantly. At the conclusion of enetering data and playing multiple clips, user data needs to be outputted to another database.
Please help...how can this be accomplished??? Final Cut studio? / Flash? / Cold Fusion? / Filemaker? / other database? / Flex?

Thomas is right about this not being the best place to post. Not sure if there is a good forum here to do it in, since it's not an Apple related question.
Lucky for you, I happen to be a web designer. I'm a little confused as to how exactly this interface works (hint: don't make it over complicated), but I'm guessing the basic idea here is to have a user submit input through a form field, have it look up clip data in the database, have it return that data and start playing clips, and then save the timing information of that sequence of clips back to the database. Kind of sounds like a web-based editor. Pretty tricky.
Making this a Flash application would probably be your best on creating a good interface. I don't actually use Flash myself, but it seems like it would be capable. Your other option would be to use HTML and Javascript to build an AJAX interface. I think that would be a lot trickier, and feel a lot less slick.
As far as the backend goes, any of the major server side scripting languages will do the trick. PHP, ASP, Ruby/Rails, Coldfusion, etc. The industry standards for web applications databases are usually mySQL or PostgreSQL.
If this is a serious project, as opposed to simply an experiment, I would look into finding a talented web designer with skills in the above mentioned technologies. This isn't something that can be hacked together quickly, or easily.

Playlists Shuffle/Creation Question

OK...here's my question. In previous versions of iTunes I could (for example) create a playlist for Led Zeppelin. I could then go through each of their albums, selecting the tracks I wanted and drag them to this new playlist. After I finished making all my selections, I could hit the shuffle button and iTunes would randomize the order for me. I could keep hitting shuffle until I saw a random order I wanted to permanantly keep. I could then export this playlist, re-import it...and the order would remain intact in regular playback (shuffle off).
Now, how do I acomplish this on iTunes 11. I have been creating playlists for my car like this for years.
thanks much.

You don
iTunes seems to have removed the actual shuffle order in playlists. They will play shuffled (the playlist skips around) but the display order will not change as it used to.

Ipod Shuffle Storage Question

Hello,
I own a 2GB 4th Generation IPod Shuffle.
My current playlist is I-Tunes says that I have 132 items with 10.4 hours of content at 1.13 GB. But when I look at my storage space status on my I-Pod, it says that I am over capacity.
Why does it say I'm over capacity when I'm clearly not?
When syncing my I Pod, I manually manage my music instead of using the Autosync. Could this be part of the problem/reason?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
PS: I apologize in advance if this question has already been brought up.

UPDATE.....
Something really screwy is going on here
I got rid of 4 of my songs on my playlist and freed up around 0.03 GB of capacity
I then put those 4 same songs from my library back on my playlist and when I synced it still had that 0.03 GB of free capacity
I also notice that when I download a podcast from the itunes store into my itunes library, the space that the podcast would use up shows up on my ipod capacity bar, eventhough I haven't downloaded it to my ipod yet!!!...wierd.
I wonder if should just delete my entire playlist and create a new one from scratch with the exact same songs.

Shuffle songs question???????

when i select ipod to shuffle songs it shows 1 of 2200 .....my question is. Is there a way to have the songs shuffle and never repeat the same track??
I unplug my ipod when i am not using it in my car...so sometimes when i reconnect it, it plays the same track it played a couple days ago.
Also....on the Itunes library, what is the check box for that is shown right in front of the track name?
PEACE

NINRH8R wrote:
thanks for the input!!!!.....so basicly the ipod is going RE-SHUFFLE each time i uplug it, either that or make another playlist of some kind.
Yes
And as for as the check marks......you guys say itunes is going to SYNC the tracks with check marks...correct?.....but if the song is already on my ipod i don't need it to RE-SYNC the track again...right?
Well, if you have iTunes set to "Sync only checked items" and you uncheck everything, the next time you sync your iPod, it will remove from your iPod everything that isn't checked. If you manually manage your music, it really won't matter with the tracks are checked or not.
i don't use itunes to play my music, so i could uncheck each box with no problem?...right?
Why go to all the trouble to uncheck everything?

XI Capability Question

Hi,
i m very new for SAP XI. Since my company intend to use SAP XI to replace original AI system for sales business, I dun know how good SAP XI is. I am thinking of below things:
1. currently customers only send us their trading partner number in EDI, I need to mapping these trading partner numbers to SAP internal customer number - sold-to party, ship-to party and so. I knew EDPAR table can manage the mapping for orhter partner function mappings except sold-to party. I dun know whether SAP XI can do this mapping or not.
2. Currently AI can split EDI file into several IDocs because of too many line itmes in one sales order. I am not sure SAP XI can perform IDoc split or not. I knew SAP XI BPM seems be very strong but still not know it much.
If you can provide mroe info about my doubts, please feel free to share. I will appreciate very much.
Best regards,
Allen

Hi Allan,
Welcome to XI world!!!
XI can definitely do any type of mappings.XI is having different mapping techniques.
1)Graphical mapping
2)ABAP mapping
3)JAVA mapping
4)XSLT mapping.
Depending upon the requirement and complexity diffrent mappings are choosen.
Yes!! Using XI u can split a IDoc into N nos..... and vice versa...
Just read the discussion here!!!
Re: HTTPs
u can search in forum with keyword "Idoc split" and "Idoc merge" u will get a lot!!!
Yes BPM is ..one of the gr8 feature of SAP XI...
read this for a brief idea!!

Airport Express capability question

I believe the answer to my question is no, but I thought I would make sure. Can the Airport Express be used to connect my Blu Ray player (downstairs) with to my network wirelessly (wireless router is upstairs)? I guess it would be used as a bridge, but I'm wanting the Ethernet port on the Airport to be active and be connected to my Blu Ray player. I'm basically trying to not have to run a big cable through my house or move my router. Thanks!

Hello fishman77. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can the Airport Express be used to connect my Blu Ray player (downstairs) with to my network wirelessly (wireless router is upstairs)?
Maybe. In order to connect wirelessly to the wireless router upstairs and enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port for the Blu Ray player, the upstairs router will need to be another AirPort base station. This is so that you can create a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the two AirPorts. Very few non-AirPorts are WDS-compatible with AirPorts.

Simple capability question

I currently have a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router with 802.11n technology connected to my cable modem. This router gives access to the internet for all device on my network (PCs, PS3, WII, PSP, PS3, Xbox360, Slingbox and my Mac Mini). My question is can I use the Time Capsule as an access point for my Slingbox on my network? The Slingbox is the device that's the longest distance from the D-link wireless router.

I respectfully disagree with Jorge G. I think you can have the TC join your existing wireless network, and then connect the Slingbox via ethernet to the TC.
In fact I have this setup, where I have a wired connection from my laptop to the TC, then the TC connects wirelessly to my existing AEBSN network, which is wired in bridge mode to a Netgear DSL modem/router. I can access the internet from my laptop, proving that this is working over the wireless network.
I know a laptop != a slingbox, but it seems the principle should hold. YMMV.
TB.

Using the shuffle option question.

So I downloaded the new itunes, and for some reason I'm having trouble finding an option to let me shuffle the ENTIRE library. When I click the normal shuffle button in the bottom left hand corner, it only shuffles songs on the selected artist. Anyone know how to shuffle the whole library? Thanks.

What do you mean by "the selected artist"?. I always have my iTunes set to browse so I see the Genre, Artist and Album boxes across the top. Unless I'm doing something specific, I have "All" selected at the top of each box. If I have select shuffle and then start playing song, it picks the next song at random, not from the same artist. What exactly are you doing?
Best of luck.

MacBook Air (base model) capability questions.

Hello everyone,
I've been looking at the 11" MacBook Air, I like its size and weight because my work takes me on small float planes and small boats and I must always keep my personal pack compact and lightwieght, and yes im counting ounces. There is always power available where I'm headed, as I am the elecrician/mechanic sent in to work on the generators ect.(making battery life a minor consideration) The computer will be used for icloud, email, Pages, Numbers, web searches, iTunes (for podcasts & 4-8 GB of music to sync with iPod), maybe an episode of Walking Dead, and facetime. All of which the Air can handle from what I understand. What would be great is a basic 2D drafting type program to make it all I need. I was looking at iDraw and it looks exactly like what I'd need, basicaly a step up from a paint program to draw stright lines, a grid, add scales, text and import the images into Pages. The only requirments I can find for iDraw is: Intel, Mac OS X 10.6 or later. My questions are; Does this mean the processor is not important for iDraw? What version of OS X comes with the Air 11"? Can anyone tell me I am asking too much from the Air at this point? For $100 more I can upgrade the memory to 8GB and Apple will ship the Air with OS X Mountain Lion. But if I dont need to I'd rather not unless this Mountain Lion is awesome I just dont know. (Our MacBook Pro at home is stuck at OS X 10.5.8 and can not support the latest iTunes that supports the Mrs' iPhone 5 but that is her problem and im off topic) I've droped a number of things in the ocean, you never know who is helping you with boat to boat, boat to plane transfers, I dont want an iPad because for that price I rather have a little more computing available and spend the extra money on an Air.
This is the bottom end 11.6" Air (mid 2012) that I have been look at.
1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz
4GB memory
64GB flash storage1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
OS X (version ??????)
Thank you

Looking at its form factor, the somewhat savvy computer user might think the 11" MBA is a netbook - with all the negatives that entails. Not so - it is a very powerful computer in a small package. Besides iDraw, you might want to look at Intaglio and EazyDraw for your drawing needs - both of which can be found here for a downloadable demo.
Looking at your specs, I strongly urge you to upgrade the hard drive from 64 to 128GB - I only recommend the 64GB model for people who need a second home computer. It is way to easy to fill up that hard drive - especially if you intend to keep any digital media like music and video. You'll be getting OS X 10.8 - Mt Lion - BTW.

General java sound capability questions

im trying to get a handle on the basics of what i can do with sound in java. ive read a lot of pages but there are still some ambiguities.
what i want to do ideally is have an applet that takes sound from the client microphone and records the sound file on a server. so:
if this were an applet, would it require me to first save the sound file locally (and therefore sign the applet?) or can the sound be saved in memory somehow without creating a "file" per se - then moved to the server? if it could be done does it require JMF?
i read that an applet cannot convert the file format client-side. does that mean the file would have to be uploaded in an uncompressed format?
a java webstart app is also acceptable for my purposes. can someone advise if that is the best way to go?
can a web start app do the following:
- connect to a database (on the server)?
- record / compress / upload a sound?
if so, i guess java web start is the way to go... if you know any good resources for any of these issues please let me know... thanks!

Hey Gang,
I know that the general rule here is to try your code first then ask why it doesn't work but my questions right now are more conceptual than anything else. I know a little (very little, really) about Java and some of it's capabilities. I've been thinking about possibly converting a MS Access Utility that I use into a Java program. The MS Access version can be a little unstable and I think by moving to Java, I can eliminate that problem. But, I want to be sure that Java can do everything I need it to do before I spend a lot of time only to find I can't get there from here. These are my initial questions:
1. I have to run several reports from a large Oracle system. Currently, I export the data as Excel files and link the Access database to them. Using Java, will I be able to export as text files (daily) and have the program read the text and treat it like a database file? The short answer is NO. The more lengthy answer is yes, but you can attach to Excel spreadsheets through ODBC (JDBC/ODBC Bridge) and use them as a database the same way Access did.
2. Part of the output of the Access database feeds MS Word mail-merge documents that are used to send e-mail messages. Will Java format and send e-mail via Outlook? NO, but you can send mail with the Java Mail API.
3. The second half of the output is an Excel Workbook with re-formatted and cleaned report data from the original files. Can Java dynamically pass information to Excel and create the various worksheets necessary to display the data the way management wants to see it? NO
Now having said all of that, there is the Java interface through OpenOffice, which will support MS-Office documents. The MS Office products are Windoz specific, and as such, there are some 3rd party Classes out there that will interface to them, but not directly from Sun's standard API.
