Shuffle feature has stopped working on MacBook

I'm using iTunes 11.1.4 on Mac BookPro to serve as digital music source for home hi-fi audio system.  I have over 300 GB of high quality files, mostly Lossless, some AIFF.  All of a sudden, the shuffle feature has stopped working.  It doesn't work in any format - regular playlist, Smart Playlist, or the entire music library.  Whether I hit the icon, or right click on the Playlist and hit "Shuffle Playlist" - nothing happens.  The only thing I can think of is that perhaps my iTunes Music file/library has become too large?  But can that really be?  Any ideas?

The songs will play shuffled but they will display in the sort order, not a shuffled order.
Songs will display;
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
Songs will play; (randomly)
Song 2
Song 3
Song 1
Song 4
I twill play sing 1, then song 49, then song 10

  • Element 11face-recognition feature has stopped working, can I unstall and re-install?

    Elements 11 face-recognization feature has stopped working. Can I uninstall and reinstall this program on the same computer without being concerned about deactivation and serial number issues?

    If people recognition dialog shows you no suggestions, it would help if you rename breezesession.dat file to say breezesession.dat.old and check if FR runs fine now.
    To find this file go to Help > System Info in Elements Organizer and see your catalog location. Within the catalog folder, there is a BreezeData folder which contains breezesession.dat.
    Thanks

  • 'Password Attempts' security feature has stopped working

    The problem is that the password attempts feature has stopped working.
    When setting the password there is also a drop down box to set the number of password attempts (defaults to 10).  When locked (or on power up) the blackberry prompts for a password.  My 'phone used to count down the invalid attempts (periodically prompting to type the word 'blackberry, threatening to wipe and reset the 'phone if all attempts were used up).  Now it does not do this - it did intermittently and erratically a few times - but now it will quite simply let you try as many passwords as you like until you put the correct one in (and it is duly unlocked).  No indication is given on the screen as to how many attempts have been made.
    I have updated the Blackberry firmware (to the version given above), with the same result.
    This is really strange - I would expect this to be a software problem.  The firmware update wasn't done under ideal conditions - I could retry this.

    Are you accessing the video podcast through the Videos menu or through the Podcasts menu? It's accessible through both, but will only play as an audio file if you select it from the Podcast menu.

    the shuffle  has stopped working on my ipod touch   any ideas

    On the now playing screen, tap the artwork one time to bring up additional controls including the Shuffle and Repeat options.  Tap the Shuffle icon (the two arrows crossing each other) until it turns blue to signal that it is enabled.

  • Coverflow 'click ahead to browse' feature has stopped working

    Hi Everyone.
    I am a user of the coverflow view in itunes 7.01 and i often browse by clicking on the cover a few ahead of the one selected and having it quickly jump ahead to that. Well it has stopped working. Coverflow will still function correctly using the scroll bar etc, but this particularly useful bit just doesn't move any longer. I updated from 7 to 7.01 when I first noticed the problem but it stayed the same. The only thing I had done in itunes before noticing this problem was to use a small programme called MoveTunes to move some songs from one hard disk to another - but I have done this before with no problem.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks
    PM 1g, ibook 1.33   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Federico
    Good and bad news - coverflow is working properly again but I do not know how I fixed it. I tried everything I could think of, fixed permissions, rebooted, freed up some more HD space, made sure I had correctly uninstalled the non-working volume logic and 3D OSS plugins, checked that I didn't have duplicate copies of album art anywhere, etc, but nothing worked. Then a couple of days later it just started working again on its own. I hope you get the same good luck.
    Regards

  • The scroll feature has stopped working on my laptop touchpad in Mozilla Firefox but not Internet Explorer.

    The scroll feature was working well on my laptop touchpad but has ceased to work in Firefox. It continues to work well in Internet Explorer. Help!

    Its due to the adobe reader add on. I removed adobe reader and installed foxit reader. Now everything seems perfect. My laptop model is model is Acer Aspire 5820 TG and I use synaptics driver.
    Solution: (Courtesy - iuliand)
    If you have issues with touch-pad scrolling in FF4 do this:
    1) disable Adobe Acrobat add-on and test if it works, otherwise
    2) install the latest touch-pad driver.
    Hope this will help others.
    Edit:
    If the above does not work, temporarily disable all add-ons in order to check if there is another one that may cause this.
    Also, make sure you update to the latest touch-pad driver from the touch-pad manufacturer site (very easy to do if you have a Synaptics). Most of the time drivers from notebook manufacturer support site are NOT up to date.
    Keep in mind that you may need to do both things (disable acrobat AND install latest driver). Both are possible causes and may occur at the same time, as it was in my case.
    Edit 2:
    If you have an ALPS touch-pad and none of the above works, check dog425's post below in this topic. He pointed out a solution found in this thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791829#answer-163071

  • Amazon "look inside" feature has stopped working for me on Firefox (used to work in the past; not sure when it stopped). The feature works fine on Internet Explorer 8.0 when browing the exact same books on Amazon. I'm running Win 7 64bit. Thanks.

    After pressing "look inside", the loading message continues indefinitely. Sometimes, I get the message "server timeout".
    Internet Explorer 8.0 loads the "look inside" pages instantly for the exact same Amazon books.
    I have been running Win 7 64 bit for about 9 months. I believe the Amazon feature worked initially. Was running XP and Firefox prior to Win 7 and never had this problem. Used the "look inside" feature many times.

    I believe I found the issue with this.
    The IP Address that this server was sending out emails from, was at one point, blacklisted. So I changed the server to use our email gateway IP instead, and SMS Messages are being sent through now.

  • Thunderbolt has stopped working with macbook pro

    Thunderbolt display paired to macbook pro and working fine.
    Turned off Macbook to go portable.  When returned home plugged n Thunderbolt to Mac - there is no activity at all on Thunderbolt display.  No changes to set up were made.
    Any suggestions?

    I've the same set-up as you have and I'm not having the problem that you describe... 90% of the time I'm at my desk with the Thunderbolt Display plugged in and 10% of the time I'm running on battery.
    The only thing that I can think of is that - possibly - you're plugging in the Thunderbolt cable before you plug in the power supply cable? If it's not that then I would contact Apple Support.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • The "find" feature has stopped working correctly

    For the last few weeks when I use "find on this page" it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it will find the first 2 letters and then say that the word can't be found. I have even put in words that I can see on the page and it says that they don't exist. Even after it has located the first 2 letters. It seems like the problem exists usually between the second and third letter of search.
    I am finding this particularly annoying as I am doing internet research and may have a gigantic document that I may only need 1 phrase from and it is making it so that I have to read the entire document. Usually very interesting but REALLY slowing me down.
    Is it possible that I have accidentally changed a setting or something?

    Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Edit > Find or Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

  • I just got a new iPad 3 and the touch screen drag and select feature has stopped working.

    Now, in order to select, I have to click an icon or link (this brings up a box around the icon/link) then double tap to select it. Pretty sure it is a setting or feature I activated. Anybody know how to fix?

    if it only happens on one specific video, has it occurred to you that the issue is very likely that video, not an issue with the iPad?
    You might try using the YouTube app.

  • The bookmark feature has stopped working, I can only bookmark my homepage (google search) but nothing else.

    Firefox is simply unresponsive when I try to save a page as a bookmark, I have tried clicking the star in the URL bar, using ctrl-D, right clicking on the page, and saving from the bookmarks tab. None of these options do anything at all.
    I have tried turning off different add ons but have not had any success. The only time I can get it to save a bookmark is if I bookmark my homepage, then it will save that, but nothing else.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.
