Why won't my playlist load in the order I've chosen?

I've run into a problem today. (it's my first since purchasing)
I've been trying to get my playlist to play in the order I've chosen and it just won't. I've made sure to click and unclick shuffle on/off, play playlist once, repeat or 1 song....nothing seems to work. It's disappointing because it's actually a workout compilation I like and it should really play in order. (for intensity)
Do I need to Reset my player? Reinstall iTunes?
Thanks for your help,
Wendy Nichols

Specifics: I Imported a CD called Massive Dance Hits 2000 (disc 2)  It is In Order as it loads. Then, when trying to Sync playlist (which is In Order) onto the shuffle the tunes are out of order. (defeats the purpose of the compilation) Had a friend go through many different scenarios with me this evening; none of them worked. Also, this album is not available on iTunes or I would have just bought it. Should I just give up on this one CD? Perhaps it's because it is by Various Artists and iTunes/Shuffle doesn't know how to sync up when transferring. (?)

  • Why won't my music copy in the order on the playlist?

    Hi,
    Can someone help me please?  I am copying over my music (from my I Tunes library) for a dance class tonight and everytime I play it on my phone or Ipod the order comes out differently and it's jumbled up.  Why?
    Thanks

    Is your playlist set to "Manual order"? Click the the left-most column header for manual sort. Then drag and arrange the songs to the order you want.
    Does that not work?

  • Why aren't my playlists syncing in the order i put them in?

    I put my playlists in a specific order - why, when my iTouch is synced does it not keep them in that order???  I've read about 'smart playlists' - I'm fairly certain that my playlists are not 'smart' - but I was curious as to how one can tell???

    A Smart Playlist has a small cog like icon in iTunes. A regular playlist has a a musical note on top of a piece of "sheet-music paper" icon.
    If you highlight a Playlist in iTunes and select File, if Edit Smart Playlist is greyed out, then it isn't a Smart Playlist. If you can Edit Smart Playlist, then it is.
    You cannot distinguish Smart Playlists from regular Playlists on the iPod Touch, they look the same.

  • Why won't my Playlist load onto my iPod Nano

    Hi, I have been given a 1GB iPod nano as a present but being computer iliterate cannot figure out how to put music from iTunes on the iPod. I have, using CD's & some songs from iTunes Stores built a playlist of my favourite tracks. However, although my list has 95 songs on it, it will only load 22 of these onto my iPod. What am I doing wrong !! I am using iTunes 7.02 so have the most up-to-date software but don't know why I can't get the rest of my songs onto the iPod. If someone can tell me in english how to do this, I would be most grateful ! I have also tried deleting the songs from the iPod and starting again but iTunes won't allow me to delete these either! Thanks

    Hi, thanks for you reply. I thyink I have included the info you wanted!
    In iTunes under the import tab, it says:
    On CD Insert: Ask to import CD
    Import Using: AAC Encode
    Setting: High Quality (128kbs)
    Details: 64 kbps (mono)/128 kbps (stereo)
    underneath this, the 1st 3 boxs are ticked.
    When I right-click on some of the songs in itunes here is the response:
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod (orignally on my old MP3 player):
    Size 2.2MB / Format MPEG-1 , Layer 3
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 3.1MB / Kind AAC Audio File
    I purchased 2 songs from iTunes - neither of which went onto my iPod, Here is the info for 1 of these:
    Size 3.5MB / Kind Protected AAC audio file
    1 of the songs that did not load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 4.5MB / Kind AAC audio file (I copied 3 songs from this particular album and 1 went onto my iPod but this one and another did not.)
    I never had this problem with my old MP3 Player. I presume there is a way around this with iTunes ?? Otherwise, will be reverting back to my old MP3 !

  • Why won't LR 3 load all the images in a cataloged file?

    When I try to open a folder or collection of images (in Library, grid view), some of the images load right away, others take several seconds, and some never load. Instead I see gray boxes, albeit with the proper DSC number in the upper right corner of each. I'm using LR 3.6 on Windows 7.

    Hi Bob,
    The question is: where are your previews stored?
    Normally, without applying some hack, they are next to the catalog.
    On my windows7-system that is by default in
    C:\Users\[your username]\Pictures\Lightroom, a folder named "[your LR4-Catalog name] Previews.lrdata".
    So the previews should always be online.
    It may be that LR4 was not complete in building the previews when you closed it last time ?
    Otherwise I share your puzzlement. So I would render all standard previews for your entire catalog and then expect that it should not happen again...
    Becaues that is the beauty of a complete set of previews: I can do all sort of LR-work apart from Develop while the images themselves are offline - something I would never want to miss!

  • Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

    Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
    When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

    Thanks Steve,
    We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

  • HT1338 Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get internet

    Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

    Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

    You posted this in the iPhone forum. Check in Control Center (swipe up from the home screen) and see if the rotation lock is turned on there (an icon of a lock with a circled arrow).
