Shuffle song order lost after charging battery

I set iTunes to not launch everytime the iPod is connected to the computer. I thought by doing this I could connect the iPod to the USB to charge it but not update it. And I thought the Shuffle Song option would be retained, so I wouldn't have to start over.
This doesn't seem to be the case. Is there any other option to try to keep the Shuffle Song option intact other than buying an AC adapter?

"I thought by doing this I could connect the iPod to the USB to charge it but not update it. And I thought the Shuffle Song option would be retained, so I wouldn't have to start over."
Once you connect an iPod to a computer it will show the "do not disconnect" screen. When you eject it, it reverts to the main menu and anything previously used (like the shuffle function) is lost. Having iTunes closed has no effect.
"Is there any other option to try to keep the Shuffle Song option intact other than buying an AC adapter?"
Whilst charging the battery? None that I know of.

I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging ) the green battery light is on - soon after it turns orange and then red. Is there a problem with the battery and is it fixable?

I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?

If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point. The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
It is technically fixable. This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things. The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty.

Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
started skipping songs - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Sale orders lost after SGEN ????

Hi there,
I am just wondering about something.
After we installed support packages, users created sales order without to get any error message and I we could only see an error message via SM21 which says:
Run-time error "LOAD_TYPEPOOL_VERSION_MISMATCH" occurred.
So after we regenerated the ABAP report: RSM13000 after that everythings seems to be ok.
When now the user try to get those sales order we do not find them.
Now the question is: When we try to find the order numbers which the users created before the regeneration we find nothing.
What about this numbers? Did they have not been created at all or what hapened?
As I know the generation of any ABAP report via SGEN or (RSM13000) will not delete anything.
Thanks in advance

Ipod shuffles song order when syncing

ive noticed ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes (itunes 10.2.1.1) that every time i sync the ipod with my computer, it will screw up the order of the tracks of the artist i most recently listened to ONLY on my ipod. the song order remain correct on itunes. but when i sync it again without having edited anything, it will restore it to original, or even some times mess up the order further. anyone else having this problem or know a fix to it? thanks

My best guess is that you have clicked a column header so it is sorting the tracks by something other than track number.
Try clicking on the column header above the track numbers and see if that fixes it.

3rd generation Ipod Touch, after charging battery the screen now show to connect to itunes, will not do anything, anyone seen this or can help?

Ipod touch 3rd generatio, after charging I turned on the device and it show to connect to itunes and is frozen will do nothing, any suggestins what might be wrong with this devise?

I've had a similar problem with my older 3rd gen ipod touch. It could be the hardware. Try holding down the home button and on button at the same time for a couple of seconds or connect it to itunes for a bit. I also leave it alone for a while then it seems to unfreeze itself. Are you saying it's still frozen after you connect it to iTunes?

Playing IPOD mini after charging battery

Afternoon all,
I have just recharged the battery on my IPOD mini on my computer at work and now when I go to play it. The apple sign appears followed by a folder with an explanation mark and www.apple.com/support/ipod
I have gone to the website and followed all instructions. I have even found myself being in disk mode on the ipod, yet still I cannot play anything from the music list.
Could someone tell me whether the computer I am using to charge to battery on needs to have necessary software (i.e. itunes etc.) in order to charge the ipod and all in all, can anyone help me get it working again please?!
Thanks
Damoredodno

Sometimes (only) charging your iPod from a USB port causes problems. My suggestion is:
1) Play your Mini until the battery dies (unless that has already occurred)
2) Charge it completely from via the wall charger
If it doesn't return to semi-normal after this, your battery may be shot. No, you don't have to have iTunes loaded on a PC to mount (and charge) your Mini as an external USB drive.

Shuffle song order/playback question

Hey all
I am thinking about getting a shuffle so i can listen to a mix of language lessons (pa ruski) and a few CDs worth of music (as well as for file storage).
I'll typically listen to the lessons on the train to work, then play some music at work, and perhaps listen to the next/same lesson after work. I'm a bit concerned that, if I listen to music during the day and therefore lose my place (ie, skip past the language lesson to get to the music, then want to go back again), then i will have to skip through dozens of songs to find my language lessons again...
Which brings us to my question: if I want to get back to, say, language lesson 2 (of 10), will I have to skip ahead/move back through all of the files? or is there a way to go to the first song on the playlist/first song added to the shuffle?
in other words, i don't want to skip through loads of songs to find my language lesson tracks again--is this possible? could someone try this out on their shuffle and let me know?
or is there no such thing as a "first" song on the shuffle?
perhaps i can accomplish this by holding the "back" button for a few seconds, or something similar, to get back to the first song added?
(i know that an ipod with a screem would solve this problem, but i want/need something small and cheaper than, say, the nano).
thanks for the help. i hope my question makes sense, as it's a bit tricky to explain. if not, let me know and i'll try again.

First you would load your language lessons, and then the songs from a Playlist. Then to get to the beginning of the Playlist, after playing some songs, you'd click the Pause button rapidly three times -- this would take you back to the beginning of the Playlist. Then you'd click the Fast Reverse button until you reached the point in the lesson you desired. I don't know where you're getting your language lessons from, or in what format they'll be in, so I can't be more precise about moving around in the lessons. And, if terms like "Playlist" are foreign to you, you'll find out what they are when you get your Shuffle and load the iTunes software.

Setttings and app order lost after reboot

Today, after installing an app on my iPhone, i did the usual turn off then back on. After the phone turned back on, all my apps were in a different order and my settings were reset. Has this happend to anybody before and what is going on? Did I accidently do a hard reset? Thanks for any help.

I have not seen such behavior with any app. Do you know which exact app was that induced such behavior?
1. Try deleting that particular app and reinstalling either over the air or in iTunes and then sync
2. Could be a good idea to sync the phone before installing that particular app so that you can revert to your last backup if anything goes wrong again
3. Hard resetting the phone does not mess up the order of your apps
Hope this helps.

Songs seem lost after deep sleep

After I wake my iPod Photo from deep sleep, none of the songs show in the menus. The only way to fix this is connecting it to my iBook. This is ofcourse very irritating, because I don't always have my iBook with me. I have updated the iPod recently but it doesn't help. I haven't always had this problem.
Does someone recognise this and knows what to do?

I had this same problem and finally went back and reinstalled version of iPod updater 2005-03-23. I purchased by photo ipod last February and it worked fine until I updated with 2005-6-6-26 version, and then it started the problem with the music disappearing and needing to hook it back to my Mac so the music would show up. It does appear to be corrupting the directory, because the music is still on the iPod, but it does not display as being there on any of the munus.
I am currently running version 1.2.1 of the iPod updates, and it does lock up from time to time, but I can easily do a manual reset, and the tunes are still there.
I have not run the updates because each time it causes the same problem to come back.

Shuffle songs stops EXACTLY after 24 hours of playing music

I have a play list on Apple TV. I would like it to keep playing non-stop. However, it automatically stops playing the music after 24 hours EXACTLY. Can somebody help to find a solution?

There is no setting... I suspect it is coded in the application to do exactly what it is doing.

I have a Power Shot SD4500 IS and after battery is fully charged battery runs down without any use.

I have a Power Shot SD4500 IS and after charging battery then placing in camera and within a day the battery is dead. I have tried replacing with a new battery and have the same problem. Any suggestions?
The last time (2 years ago) I had a problem with my previous ELPH I was told it was less expensive to replace the camera than to repair, but after buying 2 in 5 years with limited use, this is getting old.
HELP

Pharmboy007,
I would like to ask a couple questions to see if I can determine what is causing the issue.
How long is the camera sitting before you are using it and finding out that the battery is no longer charged?
Does this happen with other batteries, or just the one battery?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

2nd g. shuffle - move order of songs on the shuffle after syncing.

I used to be able to change the order by just moving songs up or down. i can no longer do so. also, when i copy playlists across they come across alphabetically rather than in the order of the playlist. I have tried using "sync" and also "manually mangae" songs - and both seem to have the same problem. The songs copy across in alphabetical order rather than by the NUMBER order I have in the playlist and I am unable to change the order by dragging songs up or down once they are on my shuffle. very frustrating as i cannot effectively create a playlist. thanks in advance for any help.

Since you are putting playlists on the shuffle, it must be 3rd or 4th gen, is that correct? It also sounds like you have the iPod set to Manually manage music (not automatic syncing), is that correct?
When you select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, you can drop down the content categories indented under the shuffle. If you select Music there, I don't think you can change the song order in the list to the right, except by sorting it using one of the column headings. But, if you select a specific playlist there, you should be able to change the order of the songs on the list to the right.
Also, in a playlist, make sure you have the left-most column heading (the one with the sequential numbers below) selected as the sort order. If another column, such as Name, is select, it sorts by that column and you can't move the songs around on the list.
Edit: I see that the title of this topic says 2nd gen. Sorry about that... I'll leave the above as is for anyone else reading, and in case your shuffle happens to be 3rd or 4th gen.
With a 2nd (and 1st) gen shuffle, the shuffle itself acts like a playlist. So when you have the shuffle selected in the iTunes sidebar, on the Contents tab to the right, where the list of songs is shown, make sure the left-most column heading is selected (as I noted above for playlists in general). If another column, such as Name, is select, it sorts by that column and you can't move the songs around on the list.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

Music wouldn't play on Touch 4 iOS5 - after trying everything I decided to restore my iPod and managed to retrieve my apps, but all songs are lost now - any way to recover them?

After my third day of iOS5 songs stopped playing; sometimes they would randonmly skip, sometimes I couldn't open them at all. It appeared as if it was playing but no sound came of it. (Videos and other apps with sound worked well).
I searched here but there was no definite answer so I restored my iPod. Now I recovered all my apps, but my songs are lost. I have them in my computer, but getting those 500 songs sorted again (covers, genres, ordering, all of them had lyrics)... it will take way too long. Any way I can retrieve them?
Thanks in advance.
