I have an i tunes library originally made for my i pod. Noe I have an i pad2 and I synced it with the i tunes library. The i pad has all the songs, with some already selected. The trouble is, my i pad will only play the selected songs and I can't figure out how to make it play the songs thatI want it to.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by selected songs. Can you elaborate, describe exactly what you are seeing? Or perhaps take a screen shot (push the home and power button at the same time, briefly), and post that.
