Transfer settings "do not shuffle" and "remember position"

All my audiobooks are marked with the 'do not shuffle' setting in iTunes. How do I get this to transfer to my nano (which thinks they are music) so I can play just music with 'shuffle all songs'?
I haven't tested this yet, but the "remember position" setting in iTunes does work on the nano, doesn't it?

I think it should just transfer and work. But if not, you can create a Smart Play list where the rule is anything that isn't an audiobook. Then on your Nano just play and shuffle that playlist which will be all your music and not your audiobooks.

With 'Mail v8' and 'Yosemite' 'mail' "account settings" are not saved and I keep having to check the "SSL" box. This has only occurred since upgrade to Yosemite?
Any help would be appreciated as this is so frustrating!!

Update to 3.6.16 has fixed this problem.

Playlist- disable shuffle and remember playback position?

Hi, I dont know if you can do this but I have one playlist for audiobooks that i have via Mp3's and some radio shows i've recorded.
At the moment I have some apple scripts i downloaded to do batch 'remember position' and 'skip shuffle' settings, but is there anyway or script i can get to automatticly set any mp3 dropped on to a given playlist to give them these settings?
Thanks

Yes... I use mine (1st Gen and 2nd Gen shuffles) exclusively for audiobooks from various sources. I ALWAYS make sure that they are set in GetInfo>Options to "remember playback position". I listen daily and often pause, turn off then on and resume during that listening period.

In settings, the FaceTime icon is not clickable and in home screen the FaceTime icon (application) responds with: "Account Restriction This iPhone is restricted from making FaceTime accounts". I have had a FaceTime account in good order for 2 years now and have not abused or excessively used it. Apple doesn't respond multiple messages, ISP is of no use.

I have tried this and can see that FaceTime is ALLOWED in RESTRICTIONS
I have tried also, in restrictions, other items regarding applications, iTunes App Store without results.

Gnome settings do not take, and gnome-settings-manager breaks things.

I just updated my Arch install. I hadn't done a full system upgrade since December (I think). The install went fine as far as I can tell. It broke my xorg.conf again, but it always does that, no biggie.
My biggest fight seems to be with the gnome-settings-manager. I am now getting no icons in the menus, the mouse runs extremely slow and the only way to get it to run at a normal tracking speed is to use the KDE 'systemsettings' to change it (bizarre). Also, any desktop background that I assign is essentially covered over on startup with a background color and I cannot (using any settings program in the menus) actually put something there. I'm sure there's just some confusion over what is in control of the desktop and which config file is being used, but I cannot find any other mention of this issue in the forums, and forcefully re-installing gnome has yielded no help. I also moved all my '.gnome' dirs under home to some other location, and this made no difference.
Some info:
# pacman -Q gnome-applets gnome-desktop gnome-settings-daemon gnome-session
gnome-applets 2.24.3.1-1
gnome-desktop 2.24.3-1
gnome-settings-daemon 2.24.1-1
gnome-session 2.24.3-1
When I run gnome-mouse-properties from a command line, I see this:
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Then, when I try to change the mouse acceleration:
(gnome-mouse-properties:7165): capplet-common-WARNING **: Unable to find a default value for key for /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/motion_acceleration.
I'll assume it is an integer, but that may break things.
Please be sure that the associated schema is installed
(gnome-mouse-properties:7165): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_get_float: assertion `value->type == GCONF_VALUE_FLOAT' failed
(gnome-mouse-properties:7165): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_get_float: assertion `value->type == GCONF_VALUE_FLOAT' failed
Any ideas?

Just to reinforce what byte said: I had similar problems and moving .gconf worked. If it doesn't, you can also try moving .gnome2. And then if you are versed in the edition of gnome settings files, you can search and repair the faulty ones. If not (like me)... start from scratch, delete the moved dir.
It would be great if the gnome devs simplified the format of settings files (make it more like rc.conf!) and made it so they don't break so often. Maybe a system a la windows where previous versions of the registry get saved. Then upon breakage one could just bring up the last working version. Of course the best thing would be for the settings to not get corrupted in the first place.

Podcasts no longer sync and remember position. Any solutions?

Since installing Yosemite on one imac (older) and buying a new imac retina (using Yosemite) my podcasts no longer sync between devices. Before Yosemite, if I played a podcast on my iPhone as soon as I opened my imac/itunes the podcast was set at where I left off. It was great.
Now, it does not do this at all. Is there some trick or a preference file to delete/start over or did they really disable this feature?
Thanks.

In your subject heading you say the Podcasts do not sync. Are you saying they don't play +because they have not synced?+
If so, when you plug your iPod into your computer, check the settings on the Podcasts pane/tab. Are they still set the way you want them? Software upgrades have been know to cause these settings to be changed.

Since upgrading to 3.6.15 some settings are not saved, and the alerts when changing between encrypted content are totally out of synch to the actually occurence

The settings dialog box cuts off the bottom ofthe box content as it seems to be having problems with font rendering.
Settings such as "Show download window" and "Ask me where to save" apparently revert to defaults rather than saving the settings.
The encrypted content alerts are out of synch. They claim to be going from encrypted to non-encrypted when neither page is encrypted. Or warn of non-encrypted content on an encrypted page when the whole page is unencrypted.
3.6.14 had none of these problems.

Update to 3.6.16 has fixed this problem.

That's fine - except nobody here knows what you have been able to think of try to this point.
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.
It really helps if you let others know "what you know of" and already tried.

HT201412 IPAD 2, TRIED TO GET ICLOUD TO WORK. IPAD IS FROZE WITH NOT ENOUGH STORAGE, THIS IPAD CANNOT BE BACKED UP , THE OPTION(CLOSE) OR SETTINGS WILL NOT RESPOND AND CANNOT SHUT THE IPAD OFF HELP!!!!!

IPAD 2 FROZE UP WITH NOT ENOUGH MEMORY ON ICLOUD. CAN'T SHUT IPAD OFF AS IT IS FROZE

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

HT201412 settings are not working and only searching showing on top left

my iphone 4s not working,i can't make a call and when i pressed the setting icon it's all come up all white screen.on top left side says only 'searching'

OK everyone - I think I figured it out!
I had the same problems:
- 'Searching' in upper left
- Inability to make/receive calls
- Inability to access the internet
- Inability to access mail
- Setup menu comes up blank
- Cannot shut down/reboot by holding down top right button
Here's what to do:
- Hold down both the top right button and the lower middle button at the same time for a few seconds and you should see the white Apple logo appear on the screen.
- Let go of the buttons at this point and the phone will reboot
- When it comes back, everything should be OK
Only other thing I notoced is that I actually watched the battery drain fromm 80% to 10% when it came back online! Very strange!

HT2020 'Part of a Compilaton' and 'Remember Position' buttons don't work on all albums?

Most movie soundtracks and the like have sorted fine, but a few lately don't seem to, and so when I'm in the albums tab, there's 20 different "albums" with one song each because they have different artists. I don't know why these newer uploads seem to be different. Help!?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

In general settings the Wi-Fi icon is not illuminated and to the right of the icon it says,"No Wi-Fi". I've updated the most recent software and my Wi-Fi network is working fine. Help!

Wi-Fi icon in general settings is not illuminated and to the right of the icon it says "No Wi-Fi". All other icons in "General Settings" are illuminated and accessible. My Wi-Fi network is working, as evidenced by the fact I'm able to do this. A week ago the Wi-Fi setting was working fine and now nothing. I have completely updated the software.
Help appreciated.

What you see means that the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chip is not being recognized by iOS.
There are some steps recommended by Apple to solve this but you may have a hardware problem.

[iT5] "Skip" and "Remember" Don't Work on iPod

I have toggled the new options "Skip when shuffling" and "Remember playback position" on several tracks (MP3 and AAC). iTunes respects those options and skips them when shuffling and remembers the playback position when I come back to those tracks.
However, when I transfer those tracks to my iPod, it acts as if those options don't exist. When I "Shuffle Songs", it plays the tracks I've marked to skip, and when I come back to a track I've marked to remember playback position, it always starts from the beginning. Am I missing something? Do these options only work on the new nanos and phones?
I'm using a third generation (3G) 15 GB iPod with the latest iPod System Software (v2.3 2005-06-26) for all models other than the nanos and phones released yesterday.
If anyone has any insights, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks

Same deal here with my 2G iPod. :\ However, Doug Adam's "Makebookmarkable" Applescript for iTunes still does the trick. I don't know if this will implement the "skip when shuffling" feature though. The option becomes checked and greyed out after the script is run.
BTW, this article seems to imply that the bookmark feature will only work with click wheel iPods:
