Shuffle no longer works iOS 4.2.1 iPhone 3GS

So my 3GS was updated to 4.2.1 last night. Now when I select SHUFFLE in any of the playlists on my iPhone, I get to listen to the same song, over and over and over and over and over again. I have rebooted/restarted the phone twice now and still am not able to SHUFFLE my music.

I was wondering if anyone that uses spotlight to search for songs while they have shuffle on notice that, on 4.2.1., it will only play the song you search for. It will cancel the shuffle, and you'll either have to pick a new song or hit shuffle again. I'm wondering if there is a setting change for this or something I'm missing, cause it's ******* me off. I constantly use spotlight to play specific songs and normally it would continue with the shuffle playlist and now it's useless. I already restore the phone but id didint fix!

  • Wheel of iPod Shuffle no longer works

    The wheel on my iPod shuffle no longer works (forward and reverse music, volume, etc). Music plays, but otherwise have no control. Reset device, but problem persists. Anyone have a suggestions?

    Hello khcumiskey,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you reset the iPod and the issue persists, the next step would be to seek service for your iPod shuffle.

    I have installed the new iOS 5 on my Iphone 3GS and my bluetooth connection for my Philips bluetooth headset doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have a solution?

    Bonjour Pierre,
    there seems to be a bug in iOS5 with regards to Bluetooth. THere are a lot of threads in here on this. We're all waiting for Apple to fix this...

  • Ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 hours???

    ios 5 update on iphone 3gs takes 36 HOURS??? that's the msg i got when i tried to update to ios 5! what the? has anyone run into similar issues when updating their 3gs? Could it be due to the apple servers being overloaded really? Then how come my housemates had no issues updating their iphone 4 to ios 5? is it coz mine's an iphone 3gs?

    Had to restore the phone to fix, after making sure all the possible settings everywhere were United States and English, but it worked. Still find it amazing that an update would change so many settings in so many places, especially the ones that aren't on the phone.

  • Why doesn't the iTunes Apple ID and password work for iCloud on the iPhone 3GS?

    I even logged into this Apple Support Community using my Apple ID and password with no problem. It also works in iTunes. But it still doesn't work for iCloud on my iPhone 3GS. It keeps saying "Unsupported Apple ID - iCloud requires an Apple ID that is an email address (including @me.com addresses)" I even put my email address associated with my Apple account and I still get the same message. I also checked to make sure the OS software was up to date.
    What's going on and why is this so difficult to accomplish??!!

    Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

  • In iOS 5 on the iphone 3gs, how does one disable voice control, not voice dailing.  I have never wanted or used voice control please help me disable it.

    are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

  • HT4623 How can I retrieve my Contacts that I lost after updating iOs 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi?

    I lost all my Contacts after updating iOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi. All my other apps, Notes, Photos, etc are as it is but none of my Contacts appear. I also signed up to iCloud during the update but can't find Contacts on iClouds. Pls help!

    It is strange people experience this problem only with Contacts because normally contacts are backed up with Notes and Photos and that stuff. If you are willing to do a do-over, you can try to backup, restore, and put your data back on again and see if anything new appears. You never know if some file clould have had some kind of conflict because iOS 6 was being installed while data was being restored at the same time.

  • IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

    After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

    in the end ... i did it too.
    for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
    this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
    - absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
    - leave the battery run flat
    - open itunes
    - connect usb
    - when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
    - if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
    - after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
    - upload ios5b7
    anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
    and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

  • With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. iPad Synchronization is fine. Any ideas to solve it?

    With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
    iPad2 sync is fine.
    Any ideas to solve it?

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

  • IPhone playlists no longer working - iOS 8.02

    Upgraded to IOS 8.02 last night.
    This morning on the commute to work my playlists are all 'greyed out', uneditable and I cannot create new playlists. Also, the shuffle feature has disappeared.
    Extremely annoying as no longer can listen to music on iPhone 5s.

  • Shuffle no longer working with headset

    Today I got prompted to upgrade my iPod software so I did...and the shuffle (2nd gen) no longer works. The flashy lights were green orange green orange. I went to the help website and dutifully restored factory settings with iTunes. Still doesn't work. Played with various permutations of the off switch (including the 5 second wait mentioned on the help site)and repeating the restore pathway and that didn't work either. The shuffle loads music fine and iTunes recognizes it and even plays the music but when I undock it (making sure to disconnect the shuffle properly) and connect headphones and hit play, the green/orange blinkies reappear.
    Any ideas?
    itune version is 7.3.1.3
    ipod version is 1.0.4
    I suspect this may be part of the problem. I can't upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because of my OS (win 2000). So I'm hypothesizing that when the shuffle tried to update, it failed due to the old iTunes version and somehow the drivers got screwed up.
    Also, I just downloaded the iPod reset utility and tried that to no avail.
    Any ideas? or should I just go to a store?

    It's not a hardware issue. I have the exact same circumstance. After being prompted and then updating the software on my shuffle, it quit working. All I get is the green-orange flashing light. iTunes recognizes it's connected, restore works, and syncing works, but the shuffle does not work.

  • Iphone 4 since upgrade to ios 5.1.1 no longer works with made for itunes, iphone devices.

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 my Iphone no longer works for playing music thorugh my Apline car unit, My Logic 3 clock radio, and a Next made for ipod device.
    I can sync through ITunes on the PC and can also play videos through the HDMI adapter.   My wifes iphone 4s and the kids  hand me down iphone 3s still play fine through these made for Itunes , Ipod , Iphone devices.
    I want to downgrade back to the prior IOS  I had before Apple encouraged me to install this bugged one.   How do I go about getting a legit non jailbroken prior IOS version installed on my Iphone?
    Is Apple aware of this issue , as I have seen blogs about this it is affecting other people?   Will this issue be resolved with ios 6?
    Can I get the beta ?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Agreed. Same thing here. Just bought a late model Alpine INE-S920Hd and it is all kinds of broken. I think this is happening because Apple shifted the music and video. Totally buggy. Bluetooth refuses to work properly, too. A2dp keeps stealing the audio from Pandora in the Alpine interface. The ipod controls dont work at all.
