Turning Off Shuffle in Itunes 11

Dont even get me started on how bad ITunes 11 is!
Does anyone know how to turn off shuffle?
Clicking the usual shuffle sign does nothing but change the song.
My ITunes NEVER plays in order and always skips to a random song!!
Help!!!!!

What exactly do you do to create a sound in iTunes?

Can't turn off shuffle for iTunes 11.1.5

Since iTunes upgraded, to 11.1.5, the I can't turn off shuffle. But, it only shuffles through some of my songs and artists so I hear them A LOT and other artists I don't hear at all. It's VERY annoying. The settings show that shuffle is off, but it still shuffles (still among a limited list). This appears to be a bug.

By Plays... That's interesting. I don't think I've listened to songs in that order before. Good idea. I just tried it on my Mac (latest version of Mavericks and iTunes), and it seems to work as expected, for the play order.
There is a recent new feature called Up Next. It is a song list that you can see by clicking on a symbol that looks like three lines with a dot to the left of each line; it is at the right side of the box that shows the song's info at the top of the iTunes window. It's a song list that you can add to, like a temp playlist, with songs you want to hear "next" in order (by dragging songs to the Up Next symbol). If you are just playing from a list, like your library list or playlist, the Up Next list should just show songs on the song list in order.
Does it show the expected song list order, or the oddly shuffled order? If it's the oddly shuffled list, click the button to Clear the list (at the top of the list). Then, restart playing from your song list by double clicking on a song. Does that make any difference for this problem?

Turn off shuffle in itunes

I can't figure our how to turn off the shuffle in my iPhone's iTunes! Help?

just start playing music from your artists, songs, etc list without selecting Shuffle.. not hard.
If Shuffle was previously used, it will remain ON even if you don't select the "Shuffle" selection at the top of a playlist, album, or All Songs by an artist. You have to turn if OFF from the Now Playing screen anytime it was previously used.

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.

Can't turn off shuffle (FIXED)

So like many of you, I could not get iTunes for windows 10.1 out of shuffle mode, so I upgraded to 10.2.1.1 and::::: same friggin problem and I don't have to tell you what a deal-breaker it is when you can't tell the program how to sequence the playing of your music! Apparently this has been a known problem since 2007, sheesh you would think the kind folks at apple software development would ensure functionality of basic features. Maybe Apple is tired of supporting PCs and want to drive use to GTKPOD or Songbird - I don't know, but before you PC users give up on iTunes forever try this, it worked for me and was relatively painless.
One disclaimer - My library was stored an external drive, I would be sure when you do this that you have secured your library!
Go into the control panel, programs and remove itunes from the machine
Reboot
Download the newest version of iTunes
Go do something else for 40 minutes
Come back and Viola! your new version should allow you to turn off (and back on and back off again) the shuffle function using the button in the lower left corner of the screen.
I didn't even have to re-create the media folder settings or import my library list. Apparently those reference files were not affected by removing iTunes from the machine.
My uneducated guess is that having shuffle turned on when updating iTunes is the root cause of the problem of not being able to turn off shuffle must be that the update is referencing the shuffle setting in an attempt to present the new program in the exact same state (shuffle turned on) as the old version, whereas a "clean" install does not; but I'm a chemist not a computer scientist. In any case, you can regain control of iTunes. Happy tuning.

I tried it...didn't work. My songs are all still permanently shuffled. I get so angry at Apple for this kind of thing. Do they test their **** software? I also just discovered dozens of CDs that I had thought imported correctly actually have file sizes of under 25KB, and iTunes shows their length as either "continuous" or three or four seconds. **** it, Apple, if you don't properly import a CD ***TELL ME ABOUT IT***...don't pretend that everything is hunky-dorey.
I should add...I have the songs stored on a HP MediaSmart (Windows Home) Server. When I access the library using the Windows version of iTunes, I have the problem. If I access it using the Mac version of iTunes, the shuffle works correctly (i.e. it can be turned off.)

Cant turn off shuffle?

mac os x 10.5.5
itunes 8
mac book pro
cant turn off shuffle.

Hi, I have the same problem which, strangely, only started today.
I’m running OS X 10.5.5 with iTunes 8.0.2 on a late 2006, 20-inch, 2.33ghz iMac.
If I go to the Controls menu I can select “Turn Shuffle Off” from the “Shuffle” menu but it when I go back in it has reverted to whatever shuffle option had been previously selected.
As I haven’t updated, or installed any software in a few days I thought it was probably a corrupted preference file but deleting the iTunes plist file and rebooting my mac made no difference.
I’m wondering if there a preference file I’ve missed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I turn off genius in iTunes 10.5.3 (3)

How can I turn off Genius in iTunes 10.5.3 under Lion 10.7.3 (other than disconnecting from the internet). It is no longer an option in the Store menu and although I can hide that playlist on the left through parental controls, the atom symbol is still present in the lower right of the window available to generate a list from a selected song. Thank you.

I have the option to turn it off. What version of iTunes are you using? I have the latest iTunes. Have you tried signing out of the store?

Turn off accelerometer in itunes?

I run 4-6 miles daily with my iphone. When the phone bounces around sometimes I get the landscape display for my song list and have to flip through album covers. I would like I tunes to stay vertical, so I can use the arrows to go back and forth instead of having to flip through album covers. It is slow and annoying. Can I disable just this feature?

You can set the iPhone to call up the iPod controller by double tapping teh Home button.
Settings -> General -> Home.
Tick iPod.
Set the *iPod controls* to On.
Now double tap the home button to call up the iPod controls (even when the iPhone is locked) with Volume, Play/Pause, FF/Next, RW/Previous, current song name.
This will work with whatever is going on with the iPhone.

I cannot turn off shuffle on my nano 6th generation. every play list is on shuffle and I am about to stomp on it!

I cannot turn off shuffle on my nano 6th generation. Every playlist is on shuffle. Have reset, have tried everything. Help?

It needs to be dried out. Stop using it.. don't turn it on. Put it in a zip lock bag with some rice or one of those packets of dessicant for a day or two. That might do it.

Cannot turn off shuffle feature of iTunes on iPad mini

Can anyone please tell me how to turn off the shuffle feature in iTunes? I don't know how it turned itself on, but seems to have appeared after the latest operating system update. The word "shuffle" is in red font and only toggles between "shuffle" and "shuffle all". The crossed arrows are grey and don't respond to any stimulus. Thank you.

There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.
