Shuffle playlist 'resumes' from the beginning (repost)

Reposted from Connecting to Windows forum:
Hi all. Does anyone know how to stop iTunes from causing an iPod Shuffle to begin playing from the beginning every time it is plugged in? I only use it on sequential settings, and have set to manually manage music in iTunes. I have around 72 hours of sequential audio, and it is very tedious to find my place again after each recharge.
Any help is appreciated.

I am not see what your mention.
I often disconnect my headphones, but the shuffle away then come back and connect my headphones and start up again right where I left off.
Are you talking about after you sync the unit up with your computer?
What are you doing that then results in the shuffle not being where you left off?

    You could recharge off of a USB power 'brick' instead of connecting it to iTunes.
    If you always need to listen to the items in sequence, you could tell itunes it is an audiobook and to remember its place. Select all the tracks, do get info and then under the options you can tell it the kind of media it is.
    The ultimate solution for you tho might be to stitch all those seperate files into one big file. If you then set it in options to remember where you left off, it will remember that even after connecting to iTunes.

  • Shuffle restarting music from the beginning

    I just updated my itunes and my shuffle Sunday and now when I turn it on, put on shuffle mode, and play on my way to work it starts at a random song as normal. Then if I pause it and shut it off for a while, then turn it back on, still to shuffle mode, it starts over with the same list it played earlier. I have to fast forward until a song I haven't heard today already. Last night I restored my Shuffle to see if that would help, no dice. Any advice? Thanks.

    Hi Ryan. Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but when you switch the Shuffle back on and you start hearing the same 'shuffled playlist' again, press the play/pause button three times in quick succession. This will create a new 'shuffled playlist', and you shouldn't hear songs in the same order again, I think! Please correct me if I'm wrong....

  • HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

    I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and only 635mb was downloaded and i have the .part file but the download menu says that download failed so i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the beginning?

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

    Delete and re-download the Dropbox app. You will have to sign in again and adjust app settings.

  • DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

    DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
    Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

    My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
    Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
    Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
    Thank you, I appreciate the help!

  • How do I restart iOS download after internet crashes without having to start from the beginning.

    My internet crashes and stops downloading the iOS restore software for my phone.  When I try to restart the download, it starts from the beginning.  How can I get it to cary on from where it left off?  Why doesn't it do this automatically!?
    Thanks.

    If you've already unsuccessfully tried to resume the download then the previously partial download may no longer be present on you computer.<br />
    What you can do in such a case is:
    * Move the old .part partial download and the 0 byte final file without the .part to another location.<br />
    * Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.<br />
    * Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.<br />
    * Resume the download in Firefox.

  • How to play an audio file from the begin.........

    Hello to everybody,
    I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
    @Override
    public void run()
    try
    if(dataline!=null)
    dataline.open(audio_format);
    dataline.start();
    int i=0;
    while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
    if(i>0)
    dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
    dataline.drain();
    dataline.stop();
    dataline.flush();
    dataline=null;
    dataline.close();
    And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
    Thank you in advance.

    I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
    ..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip.

  • Why does my iPod app keep starting over from the beginning??

    I have noticed lately that my iPod app seems to start over and play ALL songs on my phone from the beginning nearly every time I plug my phone into my car stereo.
    I plug my phone into my car stereo and listen every day on my work commute. As such, it's very important that the music stay on the same position between the times when I'm in my car. For the most part it's been fine, even on 4.0.1, unless I rebooted the phone or did a spring board respring, or otherwise killed the iPod app from the multitask app list.
    However this past week, it's been starting over from the beginning (I was playing songs from a playlist and it starts over from the beginning of ALL songs) nearly every single time I connect it to my car stereo. I have not been listening to the music between times in the car, nor have I even opened the iPod app or killed the process from the multitask bar.
    This is absolutely maddening. No changes have been made to the phone in the past couple of months, other than a few App Store app updates here and there. This just started really being a problem in the past week. What could be causing this?

    Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
    1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
    2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?

  • Why do videos always start over from the beginning? A bug??

    Hi,
    I just did the update and still have the same issue where videos always start from the beginning, when I WANT them to start where they left off. I went into Settings>Video>Start Playing and selected "Where Left Off",  but that didn't help. Is this a bug?? I want it to act as it did on my 3G where I can exit the middle of a video and it will start from that point next time I enter the video... Any ideas???

    I have the same problem, not only with videos but with my playlist as well. Everything seems to restart from the beginning.

  • My macbook pro was defective from the beginning. what to do?

    I bought my macbook pro about 4 yrs ago in my college year, and right after I found out there was some weird noise being made while the laptop was running.
    And compared to my school mates' macbook, mine got easily heated up and had a loud noise while running.
    So I took it to my school tech department and they said since its warranty is effective, why don't I go to apples, and so I did.
    At first, at the genius bar, a technician said it will cost me 400 and i was struck with shock ..
    fortunately, the technician found out that the laptop was defectively manufactured from the factory from the beginning and I was free of the fixing charge.
    However, my macbook pro's got a new problem. The screen goes black while running. I can hear the computer running but the screen is total pitch black.
    I went to apple store again to the genius bar to ask for the fixing fee.- It was 300 bucks for fixing it and they said there was a problem with
    the computer's logic board whatever. I bought the laptop for 1200$ and they are asking me for 1/4 of the price the laptop.
    The genius bar asked me if I ever dropped the laptop or left it somewhere near water whatever. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT and the laptop was
    sitting on my loveseat in my room and when I came back from work and turned it on to get on internet...it didn't turn on.
    What am I supposed to do?
    I am so upset bc I have a paper to turn in for the beginning fo the next month, but since I can't afford to fix the computer, I am totally at a loss.
    I bought the laptop at Bestbuy when there was the event going on, which if you buy a mac, it comes with an ipod 2nd gen.
    When I bought it, there was a lil scratch like thin on top of the cover of the laptop, but I just thought like
    it will get a scratch while using it anyway and i just let it go and I bought a cute plastic cover for that laptop.
    If I knew that that was something like a defective product, I wouldn't have bought it or exchanged it with a new one.
    Where do I complain about this? whom do I talk to? why does apple distribute defective products to customers and make us to pay so much money to fix it after the warranty is done?
    Apple should be responsible for this.
    For someone like me, who's a poor student who can't get anymoney from anywhere (I am being supported by my church), what am I supposed to do?
    I want a responsible answer from Apple.
    or if anyone knows how I should deal with this, please answer me.
    I am really at a loss and desperate due to my financial situation. Thank you.

    I had a very similar issue.  I am not sure which machine you have.  I purchased 2 MacBook Pro's mid 2010 2.66ghz.  One is dead the other failing.  I am with you, you shouldn't have to purchase an extended warranty on a premium product.  I have seen a lot of posts on this subject.  Seattle Rex took Apple to court last year over the same issue and won in small claims court.
    http://www.seattlerex.com/seattle-rex-vs-apple-the-verdict-is-in/
    I am sure a class action lawsuit is not far off.  It is fraudulent to sell a product that is known to be defective.  I purchased my laptops from Apple.com in 2011 after the testing program had already started.  From what I can deduce the logicboard and Lion do not get along.  CNET has several articles on this issue.  Here is the notice from Apple that is very hard to find.

    Maverick is supposed to help but for me that is a day late and $4000 dollars short. 
    If you do bring your laptop in, print out the notice.  The guys and gals at the Genius Bar will not know about this issue.  They tried to sell me a new MLB too as well as trying to wipe my hard drive.  Good luck, I hope this helps.

  • I bought a movie three days ago.  It begins to download from the cloud, then my iPad goes to sleep and when I open it again, it starts downloading from the BEGINNING.  How do I get the WHOLE MOVIE to download?  I have re-booted but that didn't help.

    I can't seem to figure out how to download a movie.  It begins to download (and yes, I've checked my download speed and my bandwidth and both should, in theory, be adequate to download a movie!) but then the iPad will go to sleep and when I get back to it, it shows that I have bought the movie but nothing is downloaded.  And when I try to download the next time, nothing is saved and it starts again from the beginning of the download.
    I sat down by my iPad while I was working and every few minutes I would swipe to turn it on and it got over half of the movie downloaded.  But then I had to go to leave and now it shows nothing is downloaded.
    I can see having it take a few hours to download IF one was able to just start the download and walk away and come back later to watch the movie.  But to have to repeatedly begin from the start of the download is incredibly frustrating.  I would want my money refunded to my iTunes account at this point, if I was able to do that.  It's just not worth the hassle.
    Suggestions?  How does one download a movie from iTunes?  It should not have to be this hard!!

    See if you can redownload it.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you can then delete from your iPod if you can and redownload.
    If you can't delete from iPod, go to to iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads on your computer ,  amd dpwnload and sync
