WOOOOHOOOO Thanks Itunes 7.3 Shuffle Playlists finally work right....:-)

Thanks Apple for fixing the playlist problems with the Ipod Shuffle 2G... It finally stays in the order you want them sorted... I am a happy camper now...

My shuffle+iTunes(7.1 & 7.2) faithfully updated
playcounts every time I plugged my shuffle into the
dock when when itunes was running. No more...
Mine stopped while still on iTunes 7.2 - the upgrade to 7.3 didn't fix it, but it didn't cause it either.
I've also restored iPod Shuffle v1.0.2 to the iPod, no luck.

How can I get iTunes 11 to Shuffle Playlists like old version?

Anyone have any idea why they changed the shuffle function in the iTunes player? I really liked being able to see what the shuffled playlist would be and reshuffle if I didn't like the way it was mixed up. Is there a setting I can change to get it back?

Found it: PREFERENCES --> STORE --> uncheck "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases."

ITunes broken? Burn playlist stopped working

Was burning a series of CDs from my iTunes library. Working great, then suddenly stopped working altogether.
Inserting a blank CD will open it in the finder as a burnable disk. Clicking "burn playlist to disk" no longer causes anything to happen.
Given there are no symptoms, error messages, anything... not sure where to begin with this.

iTunes 12.0.1.26
OSX 10.10.1
Mac Pro late 2013

My touch will not stay on even if its pluged in and this started all at once without any warning what can i do? I rebooted it to factory settings then reloaded everything back on it from itunes but it still is not working right at all. cam anyone help me

MY touch will not come on all of a sudden, but when i plug it in it has to boot up and will shut itself down. i have rebooted it to factroy settings and reloaded back up from itunes but still will not work. does anyone have an ideal what would have cauced it to start and how i can fix it?

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Automator, iTunes won't shuffle first song

I have a remote computer running iTunes playing a shuffled playlist. I wrote an Automator task to reshuffle the playlist and start it over again. The Workflow is simple:
Get Specified iTunes Items (for a playlist with one blank song)
Play iTunes Playlist
Get Specified iTunes Items (with the desired playlist)
Play iTunes Playlist (with Shuffle)
I found that I need to play another playlist in order for the desired playlist to be reshuffled. Otherwise, it picks up where it left off. So the first half of the workflow does that.
Here's the curious thing, the playlist gets shuffled for all but the first song which is always the same! If I do it manually in iTunes, it shuffles fine. Using automator, the first song stays the same no matter how many times I run the shuffle automator.
If I restart iTunes or even if I play a few other playlists manually, it shuffles once, then has the same first song problem for the subsequent runs.
Any ideas?

Is it a smart playlist?
If it is, you could try:

Or you could just set that playlist as a "source" in party shuffle. And just have automator play iTunes Playlist "Party 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

The shuffle option for itunes, no longer works. Any suggestions?

Is it no longer possible to create shuffled playlists in iTunes 11?

I've just upgraded to iTunes 11, and I find that it appears I can no longer create a shuffled playlist. (Or have I missed something?)
In the previous versions of iTunes, as long as I had songs in a playlist sorted by number, I could click on the shuffle button against a playlist in the sidebar and all the songs in the list would be shuffled up randomly. I could then sync to my iPod and the songs in the playlist would play in the order they appeared -as shuffled- in the song view list in iTunes.
But that no longer seems to happen. There are some shuffle icons scattered about the new version, (at the top of the list view by the title and in the play panel at the top), but clicking them doesn't seem to re-order the list of songs at all; they remain in order in the list.
I'm confused...

So fundamental to my use of iTunes and my iPod is the ability to transfer shuffled playlists over to my iPod, I have now managed to revert back to version 10.7.
It is by no means a straightforward thing to do, because Apple have made it difficult by apparently 'integrating iTunes within recent versions of OS X'. This in itself worries me, because it reeks of Microsoft policy...
Anyway, here's a guide to how to do it how I did. (Many thanks to other posters in other threads for the method; what I've tried to do here is provide a complete 'idiot's guide', which was what I really needed...)
First off, you will need a .dmg file of iTunes 10.7, which should still be available here:-
http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Download it and put it on your desktop, but DO NOT launch it yet.
Now, delete iTunes 11. This cannot be done, in Mountain Lion at least, in the usual way. You have to do it with the Terminal app.
Launch the Terminal app, (in Applications>Utilities), and type in the following at the command prompt:-
sudo rm -rf /applications/itunes.app
... and press Return. (Note the spaces, which are important... it's a bit like using the old Windows DOS thing.)
I ran into a snag here straight away, because it prompted me for my password, which at the time was blank, and it wouldn’t accept no password. So I assigned myself a new user password, (System Prefs>Users & Groups>Change Password), and it worked after that.
Note: After typing the command, exactly as above, nothing appears to happen. But if you look in Applications you will see that iTunes is no longer there.
Next double-click on the iTunes 10.7.dmg file that was previously downloaded, and install it as you would any other software by double-clicking the resulting disc image on the desktop and following the prompts.
It was at this stage that I found that, although I could now launch iTunes, and it was definitely 10.7 I was launching, the error message 'Error -42408' appeared every time I did so. I could live with that if it just meant getting the message, but I wasn’t sure whether everything 'under the bonnet' would work correctly as long as this error message was being generated. So I continued...
Close iTunes, if it is still running.
Next re-launch Terminal and type the following:-
open /system/library/privateframeworks
...and press Return.
Typing the above command in Terminal opens a new Finder window called 'Privateframeworks'. (Apparently one can only open this folder via Terminal; it is not visible using just Finder itself.)
Having done that, follow the following steps, one at a time. (I tried restoring all five files at once, but I was denied permission for some reason, so I did them separately.) Apologies if this is too basic...
The steps:-
First locate, in the 'Privateframeworks' Finder window, the file called 'AirTrafficHost.framework' and highlight it.
Next launch Time Machine, and wait for it to sort itself out. The 'Privateframeworks' Finder window remains visible, of course, in Time Machine, and the highlighted file also remains highlighted.
Now look back in Time Machine for a restore point in which the 'date modified' field for the highlighted file was a date well before you, ahem...'updated' iTunes to version 11. (In my case I chose a date in September.)
Click on the 'Restore' button on the right-hand side of the Time Machine bottom bar.
When prompted, select the option to 'Replace' the existing version of the file with the one you are restoring. Also, enter your password when prompted, of course.
With the 'Privateframeworks' finder window still open on your desktop, locate the file within it called 'CoreFP.framework' and highlight it, launch Time Machine as before and restore that file the same way as the first.
Next, locate the file called 'DeviceLink.framework', highlight it and follow the same procedure with Time Machine to restore that.
Do the same thing with two more files in the 'Privateframeworks' finder window, called 'iTunesAccess.framework' and 'MobileDevice.framework'.
Close the 'Privateframeworks' finder window and quit Terminal. (I think I could have quit Terminal as soon as I'd opened the finder window though, to be honest.)
And after doing all that iTunes 10.7 should launch happily without the error message. Bliss...!

HeIp Ipod Shuffle "Playlist" no longer appear in itunes when disconnected.

I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?

HOW DO I CREATE A 30GB SHUFFLE PLAYLIST FROM ITUNES LIBRARY TO FILL MY IPOD

is it possible to generate a playlist lets call it, that is like a shuffle playlist but able to fill an ipod? where would i find the command like, " fill ipod randomly from itunes library"? wouldn't it be great !! just hook up the pod and have it filled with random songs from your library. every day you could have a new playlist, but a really big and different one.

Just create a new Smart playlist.
Limit it to 27.5GB at Random.
Also, set it to My rating is not One Star.
Rate songs you do not want on the iPod to One star.
Connect the iPod & select it as the Source.
Go to the Music tab and set to Sync only this playlist.
To change the music, select this playlist in iTunes.
Select all songs and press Delete. It will fill up again at random.

Help with itunes 7 and shuffle 1

the shuffle will only play some songs. how do i get the shuffle to play all songs? seems like a glitch since we updated to itunes 7. i have restored the shuffle, reauthorized comp w/itunes, restored the library. not sure what else to try.

I'm having a related problem.
whenever I try to load a playlist onto my shuffle (1st gen, 1GB), the download stalls/hangs-up on random songs. sometimes after 3 songs, sometimes after 100. I've left the computer on overnight and the stall condition doesn't change. when I try to eject the shuffle, iTunes will lock-up (application 'not responding' in force quit mode). when I try to restart or shut down the iMac, I get the "spinning beachball of death" and have to hard shut down the system. the shuffle won't play any of the songs that appeared to load before the stall.
I downloaded & ran the shuffle 1G reset utility several times without changing the results.
after all this, I thought the shuffle had finally given up the ghost. in a last ditch effort, I took the iPod to work, and on the HP/windoze XP system (iTunes 6 installed) that I use, it recognizes the shuffle, allows me to reassign it to the windoze machine and download whatever songs I want, without stalls, hangups or system lock-ups.
weird...is this an iTunes v7 vs. v6 issue/incompatibility with the original shuffle? I can't believe that Windows is working better than my Mac with my shuffle. YIKES!
can anyone suggest possible causes & actions I can attempt to get my iMac and shuffle back on speaking terms? thanks in advance for your assistance.

ps - my apologies for tagging onto your post, but I cannot find the "post new topic" link on the discussions page. however, I think our problems are closely related...

Where can i find the shuffle playlist?

Hi, currently i am using iTunes 9.0.2, before i update to this version, when i play shuffle, i can see a playlist mix with all shuffle songs (which i know whats next shuffle song, and if i dont like it i can simply click shuffle and it will update a new list of shuffle songs), may i know if they cancel the shuffle playlist view in version 9? Thanks.

The old "Party Shuffle" has been replaced with the "iTunes DJ".

Burning a shuffled playlist of Quicktime video clips

I have a folder with 308 Quicktime video clips in it.
I wondered if there was an easy way to burn to DVDs a shuffled playlist of video clips.
I have Toast but that only caters for shuffling photos or music.
I don't have the space to load them all into itunes.
Is there a way of shuffling the files names with the finder to then add to Toast or something like that?
Thanks,
Mike

How can I see my shuffled playlist? It used to arrange in shuffled order in the window. now it just jumps ramdomly to songs. I want to be able to see ahead and behind easily, like before.

It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

WOOOOHOOOO Thanks Itunes 7.3 Shuffle Playlists finally work right....:-)
