Skipping entire album when using "album shuffle mode"

Hello everybody !
I like the feature that I call "album shuffle mode", the one that plays randomly all albums. I was wondering if it is possible to skip an entire album to play the next one.
To be precise I don't want the album to be removed from music played in random mode, I just want to be able to skip it if it is not the thing I wanted to listen to.
Sometimes I'm getting Techno just after listening to Vivaldi
I would be happy to say "No no iPod ... you didn't choose the good album, try another one"
Thanks

Short of marking the albums you don't want to play in the shuffle mode in iTunes (which I believe you are saying you don't want to happen) then there really isn't a way to skip a whole album. I'm a little confused on what you are calling ranodom mode and what you are calling album shuffle mode. When you say random mode, are you referring to when a specific playlist is played in shuffle mode or are you referring to when every song on your ipod is being shuffled? My original answer above was assuming you meant when all songs on the ipod is being played.

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

Sounds like you copied an icon from the icon spot in a Get Info window for an image file, then pasted that intoo the same spot in the Get Info window for your folder. As you found out, that won't work - unless the image file already has a custom icon, that is.
Visually, it's hard to tell if an image file has a custom icon, particularly if View Options for a folder (or the desktop) has been set to 'show icon preview' - the OS will use Preview to make an icon for that file 'on the fly', but it does not really exist as far as being a copyable icon.
For what you want to do, the solution is really very easy.
Do a Get Info on the image file whose icon you want to copy for your folder. In that Get Info window is a larger depiction of the image about halfway down - double-click that, and it should open in Preview.
Press Command-A (that's Select All in the Edit menu).
Press Command-C (that's Copy in the Edit menu).
Close Preview, close the Get Info window for the image file.
Open the Get Info window for your folder.
Select the icon in the upper left by clicking it once - a blue border should appear around it.
Press Command-V (that's Paste in the Edit menu).
Close the Get Info window, and you're done.
Comment - that's a nice way to make unique folder icons, but there is one drawback: how to distinguish visually between a folder with such an icon and an image file.
One way, old school, is to append the character ƒ to the end of the name you give the folder. That character is easily generated by pressing Option-F and can be a visual indicator that the item is actually a folder and not an image.

My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode. How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?

If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID. When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data. If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account. If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

How to insert blank page into pages document when using word processing mode?

I've recently created a 50+ page document using Pages '09. I started the document using word processing mode. Now, when I view in thumbnail mode and try to insert a blank page somehwere in the middle of the document, it won't allow me to select where I want. It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section. I believe this is because I am in word processing mode. My question is, can I convert the document to layout mode so that each page represents it's own section, without losing what work I've already done? And if so, how?
The document is entirely text boxes and images, so I don't have any need for word processing space. I just need new pages to act as blank templates for the text boxes and images I create.
Is it possible to keep all my work as is, and convert the document to layout mode vs. word processing mode?
Thanks!

It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section.
That's because they are one section. You must insert section breaks to separate them. There is no need to use page layout which does make each page a separate section. You have to manually add each page & use text boxes or other containers for the text & link the text boxes.

I have an iPod of rock and pop tracks which i generally use on shuffle mode. Now I have a second iPod to store classical music. If I plug it in to my pc will it duplicate my rock and pop or will it register as a different device?

I have an iPod Classic with rock and pop tracks on which I generally play in shuffle mode. I have now bought a second iPod Classic to store and play classical music as I don't want to shuffle rock with classical. What will happen when I attach the new iPod to my pc? Will it register as a new device with an iTunes file of its own, or will it duplicate what I already have on the original iPod?

You can attach the second iPod and configure it to sync whatever content you like without affecting the first iPod. I would take a look at this article for different ways to manage multiple iPods on one computer.

ITunes has stopped Working when using Ipod shuffle 3gen on Windows Vista HB

Itunes keeps shutting down when I insert my Ipod shuffle into the usb connection of my latop. I am using a Windows Vista Home Basic for an OS.
Not sure if this is a Vista, Apple issue, or something else...
I have contacted apple about this and uninstaled/reinstalled Itunes. Yet after all this, I get the same error message. The message reads:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
As far as I know Vista should be compatible with iTunes and it is until I actually try to use my shuffle (newest model). Its weird because my shuffle works fine on a second computer that has Windows XP for an OS...
Does anyone have a solution to this??
Thanks in advance!

i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

How to skip dtd validation when using SaxParser?

Hi all,
I'm using xerces.jar from apache to parse xml documents. I have a problem when the
dtd file is not accesible. I get a HttpUrlConnection exception. I want to skip this action or to ignore this problem and go further. I thought that the following line of code will solve the problem but it doesn't
saxParserFactory.setValidating(false);
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks,
Sergiu

hi,
Thanks for the hint, my problem is that I don't want to load the file in memory.
Therefore I use SaxParser.
Both solutions provided in that forum require loading on the whole file in memory
Any other ideas?
Thnaks,
Sergiu

Nexus 5500 - unexplainable mutual-exclusion error when using "conf sync" mode

We have 2 Nexus 5548UP switches which are running NX-OS 7.0(5)N1(1).
I'm trying to reconfigure an interface, which was previously configured in conf t (local) mode on both switches, in conf sync mode.
Original config:
conf t:
interface Ethernet104/1/33
inherit port-profile DevServers
I've changed the configuration so that the vlan was manually configured and the port-profile was removed from the interface. Otherwise, it was not possible to configure a Port-profile inheritance in conf sync mode (as this was in conflict with the config in local mode).
Current config:
conf t:
interface Ethernet104/1/33
switchport access vlan 13
However, when I try to configure a PP inheritance for this interface in conf sync mode, I'm getting the same error as if there were a conflict:
conf sync:
interface Ethernet104/1/33
inherit port-profile DevServers
commit
Failed: Verify Failed
Status: Verify Failure
Error(s):
Following commands failed mutual-exclusion checks:
interface Ethernet104/1/33
inherit port-profile DevServers
When I configure another interface (not in use) with exactly the same configuration (so access vlan 13 in conft mode on both switches, and then a PP inheritance in conf sync mode), it is accepted and the configuration is correct. It looks like something is stuck within the NX-OS switch which makes it believe that the PP inheritance is still configured in conf t mode...
I've had this issue before on another interface, and found somewhere on the internet that the NX-OS keeps an internal database, which is mysteriously not always in sync with the current running-config, and that this could be forece manually with the command "resync-database" in conf-sync mode. On that other interface, this resolved the issue, but this time, it does not work and I keep getting the above error when I want to configure the port-profile.
Any suggestions?

Ok... I found the source of the problem (looks to be buggy behaviour).
Here's my recent blog post that covers a detailed description and a fix/workaround:

Hope this will help anyone.

Tempo of music slows down after a while when using IPod Shuffle

I started running with my IPod shuffle,
and I noticed this glitch, that everytime that I go running,
after a couple of minutes (5-10 minutes), the music starts slowing down,
and let me say that the battery was full when this happened.
help please?

I think so, This IPOD is not exercise friendly, I had exchanged my earphones twice, and used a set of earphones without the controls, after 20 min in a run the thing just stopped, I charged it before I left, I think this is a moisture problem.

*virtualbox gnome3* Cpu is too high 99% when using gnome3 full mode

Am i reading right you are using Arch with Gnome3 in virtualbox if so you are using much to much video memory 60mb is about right for vbox. 3d is experimental and more than likely will not work with gnome3.

Error: "Function or method not supported." when using RF List Mode on NI 5673E

Hi,
I am trying to use the RF List Mode in NI RFSG 5673E. I tried running the sample code "RFSG Configuration List Frequency and Power Sweep.vi" but an error would show up:
"Error: niRFSGCreateConfigurationList.VI <ERR> The LO reported the following error: Function or method not supported." with the error code: BFFA4239.
I also tried running other sample codes that contain the Configuration List VI's but the same error appeared. I am using NI RFSG 1.8.5.
I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

Hello jdlabrador,
I setup a 5673E here and tried to run the same example. I did not encounter an error.
Other reports I've found pertaining to this error usually involved a large number of steps - there was not enough space on the hardware to accommodate them. The error text you're seeing is a little different in that it states that the Create Configuration List method isn't supported for the LO.
Do each of the modules in your 5673E (5450, 5611, 5652) pass a self-test in MAX?
Have you associated the 5450 and 5652 with the 5611?
Could you post a screenshot of the fully-expanded Devices and Interfaces tree from MAX?
Since RFSG 1.9.5 is available, it may be a good first-step to upgrade to it.
Best regards,

Can I skip selection screen when using PNP & HR Report Cat?

I am using log. database PNP for my report that we are then accessing through ITS - ESS. I do not want the ESS user to see the selection screen (It populates all values in initialization). I have created an HR Report category with nothing selected, but I still get pernr as a selection.
Is there a way to skip the selection screen? (Sorry, this might be very simple and i'm missing something!)
Thanks so much!!!!

Well, I'm thinking that you would have to have a short "driver" program.
report zdriver.
submit <zreport> and return.
