IPhone :: 4S Shuffles All Songs Including Across Playlists
Jun 8, 2012
I have read lots of questions about the Shuffle function and I am aware of how to turn it on/off by clicking once on the album artwork. In ITunes and on my Nano, I can choose a playlist and when shuffle is activated it only shuffles the songs in my chosen playlist. This is not happening for me in my IPhone. When shuffle is on, it shuffles through all the songs including across playlists. When it is off, I can only play the playlist in order.
I recently went through my itunes and deleted all of the songs and readded them to itunes after moving my song file locations. I then plugged in my iphone to sync to my re-done itunes. All of the music synced to the iphone except for when I went to some new playlists many of the songs did not appear in the playlist even though they were in the master list of songs. I have tries turn my iphone off and on and re-syncing the iphone many times. All of the songs are checked on itunes, my iphone is set to sync all checked items and I have my iphone set to sync all playlists on my itunes. Is there any way I can get the rest of the songs to show up in the playlists?
ps. It's an iPhone 4s and is less than a week old. I also have an ipad 2 but I'm afriad to sync pss. Most of my song files aren't from itunes and rather were downloaded onto a different computer as mp3s off of cds and were transffered to my new computer a while ago. They worked on my iPhone and itunes until i recently moved all of my songs to a file within my "music" file (for organization purposes)
I have a Mac Mini that I recently bought and transfered my iTunes Library from my previous Macbook to the mini. I can see all the songs in iTunes (running in the Mini) and can also play them, all playlists intact.
Now when I tried to synch my iPhone with the iTunes (in the Mini) it all went fine, except that after the synching a lot of my songs are missing from my iPhone.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5, and suddenly nothing shows up on the music player. I don't use an SD card, only internal memory. And I tried bringing up songs individually, but they still don't show up on the music player.
I just figured out how to use my mac to sync to my MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G. in itunes i made about 20 playlists since i have more music than space available, then i used the motoblur software to sync, only about 6 playlists went over but it says 4.6 gigabytes transferred and i had 10gb available so that doesn't explain where the rest of the music is, the error that pops up says only 12 songs won't transfer due to their file types....so why doesn't it all transfer?...furthermore not all songs are available for instance 1 artist had a few albums in the playlist but only 6 songs are there for that particular artist, some of these are not iTunes downloaded files either, they are mp3 not mp4 for instance...so it's a mixed bag of files from different sources so i can't peg it that for instance only iTunes purchased music works vs. music i converted from cd's eons ago.
I have just started to have this problem after using sync for about a year (so I know what I am doing).However, when syncing music from windows media player to my 6303i it shuffles the tracks, they all come down but not in the right order.I know that you can shuffle music to the phone using the 'shuffle music to my phone' button on the sync tab, but I have not done this!I drag and drop loads of albums to the sync pane on the right and click 'start sync', they all transfer over without errors.When I open the album on my phone the tracks are not in the correct order.Is this a phone problem or WMP?I have checked all the options in WMP and there is not shuffle sync option that I can see.
Sometimes, during incoming calls, the screen shuffles between portrait and landscape mode. And when I press the green accept button (in either mode), the ring tone stops and after a second or so, it starts to ring again. And obviously, during all this, I am not able to receive the call using the screen button.I know the simple solution is to use the physical green button at the bottom but would still like to resolve it. Is it a genuine problem with all bb storm 9520s? Is there a fix to this by changing accelerometer settings or something?
I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?
i can't always delete music from my iphone by swiping right to left - only 50% of the time this works. the other half of the time, the music will start to play Is there a way to plug in my phone to my laptop and dump unwanted songs all at once?
"Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music videos, and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple." What do I do now? My only options on the pop up are cancel or update.
I upgraded to 5.1 a few days ago and the "built in" smart playlists like "Recently Added", "My Top Rated", etc are missing from the Music app on my phone (iPhone 4, Verizon). All I see on the phone are my Genius playlists.I see the "Recently Added", "My Top Rated", "Recently Played" lists on my Phone in iTunes under DEVICES, but they are gone from my phone.I am able to create a smart playlist ("Recently Addled") and it *does* sync to the phone.I supposed I can get "Top Rated", etc, back, with a new smart playlist.Is there a limit to the number of playlists that will sync to the phone?
I followed the directions in the users manual on my phone as well as finding some tips in the communities but all say I should be able to only sync the playlists i want to transfer to my phone. when i plug in my phone to my computer and open iTunes, the device is there and when i click on it, shows the sync menu but won't let me change from downloading the entire library of songs and i only want a couple of play lists.
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and OS5 on my iPhone4. Whenever I create a playlist in iTunes and sync the two together, the iPhone alwaysalphabetizes the playlist, rather than keeping it in the arranged order I created in iTunes. I've read archived replies to a similar situation in 2007, where the problem was based on iTunes 7. Now, we're nearly 5 years and multiple versions later and the same problem still occurs. What gives? What's the use of taking the time to create a nice playlist on one medium only to have the second one screw up all your work?
I recently bought a new pc, because my old one was trashed. I had all the songs in a external hard drive. I put it on to my new computer but I don't want to manually put those songs back into the playlists that I had. is there a way that I can transfer the playlists from my iphone onto the new computer?
I used to have these thousands of empty playlists in my iTunes and a simple script fixed this for me several times.But now I see those exact same playlists ONLY on my iPhone so I tried to run that script but nothing happens because it only works for iTunes.Anyone an idea how to get all of these empty playlists gone at once?
I'm having difficulty in getting all the playlists that I have on my itunes to transfer on to my iphone 4, it wasn't always like this. I could see all my playlist before but then some off them vanished (I think this may have happened after I updated the software some time ago)
When my phone is plugged into my computer (so that I can see it on itunes) I can click on my named iphone and all the playlists are visable, for eg: my top rated, recently added, recently played, top 25 most played but when i look at the playlists on my actual iphone I can't see them there.
I created playlists on my iPhone 5, but iTunes only shows an older playlist with songs no longer on my iPhone, instead of the new playlists with the new songs. The Sync option under the iPhone Music tab in iTunes seems to be a computer-to-iPhone option only.Â
I don't care if it's iTunes or something else, I need an efficient way to backup a copy of my playlists (not necessarily the songs, just the lists of songs) for future reference and ideally with export/import options.Â
1) Is there any way to fix iTunes to show the playlists and allow them to be exported? 2) If no, are accessible copies of the playlists included somewhere in iPhone backups? 3) If no, is there an app that can accomplish the task of backing up these playlists?
What's the best way to erase absolutely everything from the phone, including firmware? I would plug it into Nokia Suite once that's done, and download the latest version of the handset's firmware. After having tinkered with it for a couple of years now, downloaded and then deleted various apps, I find that it's running a bit slower, and whenever I check for software updates, I only ever get the same four, which I've been offered now for over 6 months without any change. I suspect that the phone's update facility isn't working properly.
Current software version on my X6 is V. 31.0.004 Nokia X6-00 RM-559 V 31.0.004
