My new ipod shuffle won't sync songs and podcasts simultaneously. I know about the switch preference in the manual, this does not solve my problem (both switch positions result in same playback with respect to this issue). Diagnosis: If I sync multiple and only podcasts, I can only play one podcast from among them (and I cannot choose which – one is on top and that’s the one that plays over and over), all the buttons and switches do nothing but restart the same track. If I sync music and podcasts together, either from one playlist or from my library and podcasts, only the music plays. Even though the podcasts read as taking up space in itunes, they will not play in the queue no matter what I do if even a single song is synced along with the podcasts. For example, if I have 10 hours worth of podcasts and a single 3 minute song selected to sync, the 3 minute song is all that plays - over and over again, regardless of the switch position.

If I remove this 3 minute song, then one and only one of the podcast tracks will play, over and over again. This is not my first ipod, but I can’t figure this out. I've been playing with it, but I can't fix it. Thanks in advance. IPod shuffle (4th generation), Windows XP Posted on May 16, 2012 7:16 PM. SOLVED A work around is to simply reformat the podcast(s) you want to listen to in the queue so Itunes thinks they are a song.

IMHO this is an absurd hastle to deal with, but whatever, it works. This is a stupid problem that any reasonable amount of beta testing should have uncovered. Makita 3709 Router Manual on this page. I, for one, am very dissappointed that this issue was not addressed by Apple or the community. For any Apple employees that read this.

The Ipod shuffle gen 4 only has two bad design flaws - fix them (please) and you'll have yourself a far superior product on the market!!! The software issue stated above. A lock out button position for, let's see, 90% of people that use the shuffle during intense physical activity (during my agressive workouts at the gym and skiing and mountain biking etc. That fat pause button get's pushed half a dozen or more times, what a joke) I love my Ipod(s), but you need better beta users for some of your products.
