Shuffle feature no longer working

Since I updated iTunes software, my shuffle feature doesn't work. If I choose a song to play, when it reaches the end it simply begins replaying the same song - endlessly. If I choose shuffle, it chooses a song at random and plays it - endlessly.
Any ideas?

have you got the 'repeat' logo set by accident. on the left hand side the arrows which go round will be blue rather than white?

Shuffle function no longer works after upgrade.

After upgrading the software on my 3GS phone to 4.2.1 the shuffle function in the feature no longer worked. The same song played over and over again. The solution was super easy. On the home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Unlike a restore none of your current data or media will be lost. Only took a couple of minutes. I had to set a few personal preference settings again like my ring tone and wallpaper, nothing major. Just a few taps and everything was back to normal. Hope this helps anyone having a problem after upgrading.

You could also tap the album artwork while the song is playing and turn repeat off.

ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

10.5.7: Automatic Software Update Feature No Longer Works

Ever since I installed 10.5.7 the automatic Software Update feature no longer works. (Manual updates work fine.) For example, here's what happened today with Safari 4.0.2:
1. After powering up I got the Software Update icon on the Dock.
2. I clicked it and it said I had updates that would require a reboot and it asked the usual stuff. (It didn't say what would update.)
3. I clicked to reboot now and it asked for my password and rebooted.
4. My MacBook rebooted but nothing had been updated.
So, I went to the Apple menu to check for updates and it said I had Safari 4.0.2 ready to be installed. This time, it worked. Unfortunately, I have to do this two-step process on every update that requires a reboot. I could turn off the automatic updates and just do everything manually but I prefer the automatic way. (I had it before, too.)
Thanks in adavance,
Brian

Jeffery,
Thank you for your quick response!

How often do you have SU to check for updates? And do you have "Download important updates automatically" checked as well?{quote}
I have check for updates weekly and download important updates automatically enabled.
{quote}I'm thinking that the first time you approved the update, that it could have been for something that was already downloaded in the background, and just waiting for you to OK the install.
Then when you rebooted, and did the manual check, it found that the Safari update was available as well.{quote}
Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. ☺
{quote}There could be a host of other issues... but check the "installed updates" in the SU preferences, and see what, if anything, was installed right before the last Safari update... note the date and times and see if my theory might be correct.{quote}
Here's what it shows for the last month:

Also, I don't think it matters but I did upgrade VLC to 1.0 the previous day.

After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

Quicktime "Share" feature no longer works for me.

For the past year now I've been using Quicktimes "Share" feature to upload videos to YouTube. As of today, the feature no longer works. When I open a video, click "Share" and then "YouTube" absolutely nothing happens. I've tried with multiple different video files, even some that I previously uploaded using this same method, but to no avail.
I rebooted the computer, and that did not help either. I tried some of the other "Share" options, but non of them work either. The most I've gotten was from the "iTunes" option, from which I got a drop down menu and a few export options, but after selecting my options and clicking next nothing happened.
If it helps, I am on a 2011 iMac, running OSX Lion, and yes, everything is up-to-date (as of 07/04/2012)
(Also, it may be worth mentioning that whenever I export a video from Final Cut, even though I have the option "When finished open in Quicktime," the files will not open automatically. This started happening at the same time as my other issue, but I'm nowhere near as concerned about fixing this.)

Hey philipfromcharlotte,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble using AirPlay from an iPhone and iPad to an Apple TV. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works??? Is had worked with photoshop 9 pretty good? how can I enable this feature?
thx. francisco

I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
TomWoodbridge proposes a workaround, see Re: iTunes Photo Sync with PhotoShop Elements Fails after PSE Update
Another permanent workaround (which doesn't require to copy the pse database every time you want to sync) is described here: Elements 13: Cannot synchronise photo albums in iTunes after upgrading from Elements 11
Hope this helps.

Shuffle feature doesn't work

I click on the shuffle icon to try to shuffle songs in a playlist and it doesn't work. I tried editing preferences but nothing changes. If I click on the header labeled name it will sort them A to Z or Z to A but not shuffle. The shuffle feature does however work only on one of my playlists and that's one that only lists the name of the song with no other info in the other columns. Am I missing something here? Why would it shuffle only one playlist? I have the latest download of iTunes software, have and Ipod 30g and windows xp software.

My Shuffle does the opposite - kind of. When in shuffle mode, all songs shuffle as they should. When in continuous mode, all songs still shuffle.
No crashes, just always shuffling.
I used to wear it around my neck while working out and sweating profusely - which in turn, I believe, shorted some terminal out there or something.
Not sure of a fix for yours tho. Sorry. I have just learned to accept the sweet surprise of a new song each time.
BTW - what do you mean by "it crashes"? Turns off altogether?

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

PSE 6: Create features no longer work

I am running PSE 6 vista and the create features no longer work. I wanted to create a photo book like I have many times before and now I get the windows message that the program must shut down. The funny thing is I choose to shut down and PSE stays open it just stops trying to create a photo book. I tried all of the create features and none of them work.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall but had no luck.
I have updated every adobe product I can think of and still no luck.

I'm having the same issue.
Have you tried Quicktime Player , not Quicktime 7? Also just try iTunes or even VLC.
You can't save the looping unfortanately.
You must enable it each time.
I need to be able to save the looping.
Weird that my laptop version of quicktime works fine with looping but not my mac pro.
I wonder if there is some kind of plugin that is conflicting? I just noticed the problem when updating to Lion.
My laptop is also running lion.
I have disabled Perian plugin too.
Any Suggestions welcome!

Shuffle will no longer work

Have notice that the shuffle feature on my iphone no longer works, warranty is out, have tried to restore and reset as new, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions.

Specifically, how doesn't it work? You can no longer load music? It doesn't charge? I'm confused?!
Truly if your shuffle doesn't work--just RESTORE IT! This will erase everything, but then you can reload everything you want--so who cares?
Did you try RESTORE? If normal restore doesn't work, let me know, there's a special shuffle restore.

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

ITunes 10.1 - Shuffle function no longer works correctly

The shuffle function on playlists no longer works correctly since the most recent iTunes update.
It will periodically stop playing without playing the entire playlist. It is a real hassle and kills the mood as you have to go back to the Mac and click play again. Please fix this issue as it is a very basic function.

Thanks for letting us know, however, this is a user to user forum and not an "Apple Run" forum.
