Why is the music shuffle on the iPhone not like any other Apple device?

So lets say I had 3 songs in a playlist and the names of the songs were 1, 2, and 3. Both shuffle and repeat all are activated. If I were to open the playlist to see all the songs in it and i pressed shuffle it will select either song 1, 2, or 3 to play first. An example is it will play song 1, then 3, then 2. At the top of the screen under the music title, album, etc. it say (number of song) of (total number of songs) like 1 of 3. But after 3 of 3 it goes back to same song order of song 1, then after it plays song 2, then song 3. So the shuffle order is like 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2..... If I had the same playlist on my iPad or iPod nano the shuffle is way better. It would be like 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1.... It would mix up the songs more than the iPhone 5 which mixes it up when you press shuffle, but then plays the same order once all songs are completed.

Sorry to hear about the trouble getting your My Verizon Mobile app to work on your device! I appreciate the work you've done already, so let's work on turning this around together. Which model iPhone do you have? What error message are you receiving?

  • Spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

  • I was given a 16GB mini IPAD as a gift. I do not have any other apple or smart products, just a laptop. Will I still be able to use this? What is the average cost if I need to purchase anything. I am 67 and not really into technolgy. Thanks so much.

    As I stated I am 67 and not really into technolgy so I was wondering what and if i musy do to get the mini ipad to work for me. Thanks so much. I aplogize for my lack of knowledge.
    Thank you.

    Have you activated the device yet? Is it up and running?
    Many of us in this community are your age and older. Age has nothing to do with it, but your lack of experience with tech devices has more bearing on this than your age. However, having said that, the iPad is very easy to use. You don't need a computer at all any more in order to use an iPad.
    If you do want to use your laptop with your iPad, you must be running the latest version of iTunes and these are the specific requirements.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 8; Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    This will probably be helpful. It is the online user guide for iOS 7

  • How do I keep my iPhone private off my other Apple devices

    I have three Apple device; one iPad, my iPhone and my wife's iPhone. I set up all three of them using iTunes, and they are all linked to one Apple ID.
    The issue that I'm having, is that all three devices are trying to iMessage and FaceTime, using my email and both of our phone numbers. I already went inside The settings of each device, and made each device to only use the phone that corresponds to that iPhone, and, in case of the iPad it will only FaceTime using my email address. But the phone numbers are still there and I don't want to have, in my case, access to my wife's messages.
    I want each iPhone, and the iPad to be separate and private, but I don't want to have to create three different Apple IDs, because we share music in all three devices.
    I don't have any phone number registered to my Apple ID, so the iPhones are getting their numbers off of the carrier activation, not the Apple ID.

    Cleanest solution is get new, different AppleIDs and use those for separate iCloud, iMessage and Facetime accounts on all three devices.
    You can still use the single shared AppleID for all purchases in the iTunes and App stores.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish, and you can use a different one for each Apple service if you wish.
    So, just get some free gmail, hotmail, aol or whatever email accounts and set up some new AppleIDs.  Then set up unique iCloud and iMessage accounts on each device.

  • TS1474 why can i not use someone elses computer to sync my itouch without replacing my library? this person does not have an ipod or any other apple device, and until i installed it they did not have itunes?

    I have tried to use someone else's computer to sync my i-touch. I was under the impression that I could recognize other dvices to sync my library, but it keeps telling me that i have to erase what is on my i-touch and replace it with the library associated with the computer i am using, yet he does not have an i-tunes account, nor an apple device to necessitate one and only has i-tunes on his computer because I downloaded it to try & sync my i-touch.

    That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
    In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

  • Why can't I carry on using my 2009 iPod Touch and 4 iPod Nano's. I don't wan't to buy any new versions. More and more apps are incompatible with my iPod Touch. I can't upgrade the sofware beyond v. 5. I certainly won't purchase any other Apple devices.

    My advice to any customers: Don't buy new devices. Apple is not looking after customers properly. Not all of us can afford to purchase new devices.

    Complain to the developers. The make the apps incomaptible with previour versions.

  • Hello! if i buy keynote for example ill have the chance without paying to have it in my other apple device?

    I want buy keynote for my mac but I want know if I will have for the same price in all my devices.
    thank you

    You only have to buy it once. According to the Terms of Use, you may install an app on as many Macs as you own or have in your control. Once you buy it an install it on one Mac, open the App Store app on the other Mac, go to the Purchases pane and download it again.

  • Where can I find "Store Authorize This computer" on iPhone 4s, because it constantly showed up while I tried to transfer the music from my PC to my iPhone4s and I cannot successfully transfer the music from PC to iPhone.

    I try to transfer the music from iTune on my Window7 to iPhone4s. During the process, the phrase "Some of the purchased item on the iPhone 'Admin's iPhone' including 'Dropbox' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.To authorize this computer for items purchase from the iTunes store.Choose Store>Authorize>This computer." Where can I find the "Store" to authorize my computer? plus I just want to transfer the music from PC to iPhone; not the other way around. Please help. Thank you.

    Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • Why has my music controls in the locked screen stopped working after upgrading to ios. 7.0.2?

    I cannot pause, advance track, etc with the in-control feature on ios 7. When my phone is locked and the music is playing, (ie. iTunes, podcasts or any other audio enabled app) the play controls do not work even when I access the in-control feature.  I remember this working after I updated. Now it's not. Anyone else had this issues or know a fix?

    I have the same issue. with iphone5 with iOS 7.0.2

  • Why does my music player on my iPhone 4 always revert back to the same song when in shuffle mode even tho I have played multiple songs since that first song was played.very frustrated

    Why does my music player on my iPhone 4 always revert back to the same song when in shuffle mode even tho I have played multiple songs since that first song was played.very frustrated

    SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion.  Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

  • I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!

    I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • How can i transfer all the music from my old iphone to a new one

    my iphone broke. i have a new one and im trying to get all the music from the old one to the new one. i dont wanna delete all the music on the old phone i just wanna like "Copy" it to the new phone but i dont know how thats why im asking for help.

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary.  It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library.  I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

    Please help.  I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes.  I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle).  I use Windows XP on my laptop.  When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library.  I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too). 
    The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library.  I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod.  PLEASE HELP.  I'm tech challenged to say the least.

  • TS1702 The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.

    The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.   It keeps playing that same song over and over.  It won't progress to the next song on the playlist on its own, I have to use the next button to move it to the next song manually.  The shuffle doesn't work either.  I was going to delete it and reinstall it, but I can't even get an x to appear in the corner to delete and reinstall it (perhaps because it came preinstalled on the phone).  Anybody have this same problem, or a solution?

    If it keeps repeating the same song, then you probably have Repeat activated. See this graphic for the oval arrow to the left.
    If it is white it is off, if orange it is on. See the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

    I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.
