Shuffle synchs 2 songs out of 13 song playlist

I just bought my second shuffle, after the first one quit on me (as far as I knew anyway...many issues I read on here sound familiar). I just set up the new one on my laptop at work (XP) and installed itunes...everything seemed to work fine...I purchased 13 songs and when I sunched the ipod, it took 2 of those songs and ignores the rest. No matter what I have tried (different playlists, restoring, everything I can think of) it will ONLY synch those 2 songs and no other songs...they are both Pink Floyd songs, but I doubt that's the issue. Any help?

Solved my own problem....2nd computer had not been authorized to play songs from library...why it would play 2 of them, but not the others is unknown.

  • How to keep certain songs out of a smart playlist

    I gave a onceover to the search and couldnt find anything related.. So here it is:
    I've got a couple albums that I use while running and don't want the songs in them to be included in smart playlists i have setup for rating and play count. Is there any way to preclude those songs?

    A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
    That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

  • When playing music on my iPhone 4 using earphones when out for a run, I select shuffle and only 3 or 4 songs play then the music stops as if I have set only 3 songs to play. How do I correct this??

    When I am out for a run using earphone and a running APP I set my iphone 4 to shuffle songs but suddenly only 3-4 or 5-6 songs play and then they stop as if I set something to only play a certain number of songs from my playlist, its really irritating as I have to stop and press shuffle again, it happens with all my playlists and never mid song. This is a sudden issue as before I would just select shuffle and run and the music kept playing until I stopped it. Have I set something in error?? have looked at settings in General and in music and I am not sure what to do? any ideas??

    Just realised this happens without earphones and without using the running app. My iphone will only play 2 songs when I select shuffle in any playlist, driving me mad!

  • Want songs on a separate playlist and than have the songs out of my regular

    How do you take all the songs of a specific artist, and put them into a separate new playlist- and have those same songs OUT of my regular itunes library??

    From a list of 50 suggestions previously posted to iTunes feedback
    *22. User defined "Sources"*
    Create a new playlist option flag called, perhaps, "Exclusive source" or just "Source". When set this would make the playlist appear within the sources section under the built-in sources such as Music, Movies, Audiobooks etc. Any files moved into one of these playlists would not appear in any other source. Either regular or smart playlists could be used. This feature could be used, for example, to create separate library sections for Classical Music or Comedy. This would make it less likely that totally incongruous pieces would be thrown up during shuffle play modes as Shuffle would work within a source. Such user-defined sections should also be replicated to the iPod and could inherit the same sub-sections as Music, i.e. Cover Flow, Artist, Album, Genre etc.
    If you don't use the Audiobooks section for it's intended purpose, single-tracked audiobooks then, from iTunes 8.0, you can easily set the kind of multiple tracks to Audiobook and use this source as a dumping area for all the files you don't want to show up in Music. I have a number of multi-tracked audiobooks for which nested playlists is the only way to make them navigable on the iPod.

  • Playlist in shuffle plays only (the same) 5 songs, then stops

    One of my playlists in iTunes in shuffle plays the same 5 songs (out of 83) and then stops. If I uncheck those 5, and start with another, it plays that song and stops. I've tried deleting the playlist and recreating it, both in Smart form and not, all with identical results. I've tried unchecking and re-checking songs, no help. Putting the playlist on "Repeat all" does not help (it just repeats the 5). Playing without shuffle works fine.
    My other playlists seem to be fine. Thanks for any ideas!

    Select all the songs.
    Right click - get info. Tick *Skip when shuffling* and set to No then Apply.

  • I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago.  How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

    Hello there,
    I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3.  I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself.  The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod).  I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs).  Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync?  Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
    Thanks for any help you can give.  Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

    I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

    Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • Songs not showing up in playlist when I shuffle it

    Currently I have 1,493 songs on my iPhone. When I shuffle them without adding them to a playlist, only 1,490 display to play. Where did the other 3 go? I have this problem when I shuffle them on the playlist too. Does anyone else experience this? Please help!

    It's an iMovie Library file that you need to search for. By default iMovie Library files are in the Movies folder.

  • Shuffle only playing 10 out of 56 songs

    i have a shuffle and it only plays 10 songs out of 56 i have on it what gives?

    To fix, plug the iPod Shuffle in you're computer, open iTunes, and make sure everything you want on the iPod is selected with a check mark, then go into the iPod Shuffle settings, and select the setting saying something like "Sync all songs checked".

  • ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do  I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    iTunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
    Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
    If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

  • How to find out what songs I deleted – from a playlist?

    Hi all, random question...
    I have have been culling music from the "Songs" section my iTunes and sending them to the Trash.
    HOWEVER the songs that are on one of my playlists, "My Favorites", I really wanted to keep. There were about 200 songs on the playlist and after I finished culling music, I discovered that I had 180 and had accidentally sent about 20 songs to the Trash that I shouldn't have. Argh.
    Is there any way to retrive a copy of that playlist from Time Machine, or something, and see which songs I deleted from that playlist. And then drag those 20 songs back from the Trash? I don't want to drag back all the songs I trashed – just the 20 that were part of that playlist.
    Any ideas???

    I would also recommend leaving the shot on the iphone untouched (downloaded to a PC is ok). There is EXIF information encoded inside the image that records the iphone's date/time (this is in addition to the file system information that the other poster I beleive is referring to). It is also changeable, though one needs more expertise to do so. The reason I recommend leaving it there is some techniques of getting shots off of cameras (i.e. phones) may remove that info or alter it.
    But how does the date/time matter -- clearly the event had occurred, how will a shot after it occurred indicate which came first, your care or her's?

  • Ipod shuffle and podcasts appearing before normal songs

    hi i have an ipod shuffle 1 gig and i have an odd problem..
    i subscribe to some talk podcasts and i download streamlink mp3's of other talk programs and i have an odd problem when i add them to my shuffle.
    when i have the order set as the mp3 that i downloaded to play first and the podcasts to play last.. for some reason, every time i try to play the podcasts somehow skip the # order i set when putting the files in.
    I've tried the 5 r's once already i suppose i probly did something wrong and will try it again but does anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this problem?
    I have the latest itunes and i think i have the latest shuffle bios. I just can't figue out why it's doing this.. doesn't matter what podcast or mp3's are put in from my file list in itunes, thought that could help too.. thanks in advance.

    Hi, I already have a "normal" iPod that I sync my
    entire iTunes library with. I would like to get an
    iPod shuffle and use the auto fill from playlist
    option to put songs on it. I'm just wondering if
    this will interfere with my current iPod or does
    iTunes play nice with two iPods connected?
    IF you're using Windows, TWO iPods connected SIMULTANEOUSLY is a BAD idea. Otherwise a Shuffle will play nice with another iPod...

  • Playing songs out of order

    Recently and for no apparent reason my NANO began playing songs out of order in my playlists. It happens on all playlists. It doesn't jump from list to list just changes the order within the list itself. It is shuffling the songs because it if you view the playlist that is playing the songs are in the correct order, it just skips around.

    Your shuffle setting on the iPod is probably changed from OFF to "Songs" which will cause the iPod to shuffle any playlist you play on the iPod. Go to main menu of the iPod -> Settings and check.
