Song shuffle no longer works on iPad

Since the latest OS update to my original ipad, the shuffle function for music has stopped working. No matter what playlist or mode I am in, even when the shuffle icon is selected the songs will only play in order. Help!

Yeah my 8gb Nano has been doing the same thing for a while now also.  I click shuffle and when it gets to an artist that I have more than one song of it plays all that artist.
Anyone have any tips on how to fix it????

    Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

    Try this and see if it fixes it for you. Close all apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the app icons. Tap the home button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 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.

  • Random shuffle no longer works

    I have itunes installed on my pc.  Random shuffle feature no longer works. Latest version on itunes is installed.

    Shuffle mode displays songs in the wrong order when you have the song number field selected in the first column.  My iTunes displays a shuffled playlist in the order in which songs are added to library, not in the playlist order for shuffle mode.
    Songs are not in the order in which they will play, shown above.  They are in Date Added order in shuffle mode with song number selected as the sort order in iTunes.  This IS an iTunes problem.  Not an issue in iTunes 10 or previous.

  • Shuffle no longer works after upgrade

    After upgrading to 7.3.1.3, the shuffle option no longer works. I uninstalled and re-installed, still nothing. Any thoughts?

    You could also tap the album artwork while the song is playing and turn repeat off.

  • Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

    My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

    The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
    I copied this from another discussion.
    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
    Here is the discussion.

  • 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.

  • Hotmail no longer working on ipad or mac.

    I had to get a replacement ipad and hotmail connection ceased to work after restore. Try to reconfigure, but unsuccessful. Now MS has locked me out of my hotmail profile do to a "code of conduct" violation. Also my connection to hotmail from my Mac Pro no longer works. No email explanation from MS.

    Hotmail was down earlier today, but it should be working again now.

  • Spotlight no longer working on iPad 4, iOS7

    I am installed iOS 7 on my iPad 4. Now Spotlight is no longer working. I do not get any results.
    Searching for "mail" or a contact does not show anything. Spotlight is enabled in the preferences
    for all existing information types. How to proceed?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • HP LaserJet Profession​al M1217nfw no longer works with ipad/iphon​e's coupons.co​m and Grocery IQ apps

    I have had this printer for several years. It worked flawlessly until a unilateral automatic HP firmware update bricked it at the beginning of last year. After months of inactivity, it started working again last week after I deleted and reinstalled everything from scratch.
    Everything is back the way it was -- except the two apps I really value no longer work with it.
    My iphone and ipad -- which both worked flawlessly with this printer for years -- now do not see the printer at all for several minutes and then it finally appears with a red warning button that says "printer not recognized"
    I have not upgraded any OS.  The only thing that changed was on HP's end.
    I tried deleting and reinstalling the apps. No change.
    I have HP's eprint software, but that does not help with these apps, as they use an internal printing mechanism and the actual coupon with the bar code is never visible on screen (and thus unable to be printed via another method).
    This question was solved.

    Hi @krenster
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums. I understand that there are two apps that no longer work with Apple’s AirPrint feature.
    I know you didn’t mention that you were getting this error, but the troubleshooting steps for “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” in the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document should help resolve the issue.
    If the above doesn’t help, to better assist you, would you please supply some additional information?
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
    Are you able to print from other apps that support AirPrint?
    What version of iOS are you using on your Apple mobile device? I’m asking because apps will send out updates making them no longer functional with older operating systems. For example the HP ePrint app on iTunes was updated on October 25, 2014 and now requires the iOS device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later. I have checked the two apps you mention in the thread title, and the Grocery IQ app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later and the coupons.com app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 7.0 or later.  If you are unsure how to check this, please follow the steps in Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod: How to find the software version
    Has there been any changes to your network, such as a new router, or a new internet provider?
    Thank you.

  • IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

    I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
    I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
    Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
    Thanks in advance.

    After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
    All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

  • Had to update my Apple ID. It no longer works on iPad.

    Here's the situation. I created an Apple ID on an iPad. A few days ago I got an iPhone and went to sign in with that ID. I got a messages saying that, for added security, My Apple ID needs to be an email address. So, I put in my email address and it said Sorry, that email is already in use. Yeah, no kidding, it is the ID I am trying to associate with my iPhone!
    Long story short, I had to use a different email address and now I have two IDs. Now my ID on my iPad refuses to work despite me putting in the correct password. Is there any way to link these two accounts so that they are under one ID?

    If it's the ID on the iPad that is in error use the Settings app to sign out of that ID. Then sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the incorrect Apple ID > sign out
    Then sign in with the correct Apple ID.

  • Ipod shuffle no longer works after 10.7.5 upgrade!

    I have the late 2009 iPod (Product) Red Shuffle 2 GB, always worked fine but after the Mountain Lion (10.7.5) upgrade it does not show up in iTunes.
    Yes I have the latest iTunes and latest everything. I've already tried unplugging it and resetting the actual iPod. All the USB hubs should be fine I don't
    even have all of them filled except for 1 that goes to the printer so I don't understand WHY it won't connect and show. It apparently is charging but I cannot
    edit the songs on this iPod anymore. Any advice?
    Thanks

  • Beats Pill 2.0 No Longer Works on iPad 2

    My iPad 2 no longer connects to the Beats Pill.  Why did it all of sudden stop? I have an iPad 2 (IOS 7.1) and Beats Pill 2.0.
    It used to work on the iPad, but recently stopped.  It still works with my Windows Nokia phone, so I know the Beats Pill is OK.

    This is the AppleTV fourm.  If you have a problem with an iPad or iPhone you would need to post your question in a fourm for those products.
