I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products. How can I put music on my shuffle without paying for it on itunes? Can't I find a song somewhere and where and then transfer it to my shuffle somehow. I have been trying for 3 hours.

I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products and devices. I have a ipod shuffle, 4th generation. I want to find music, without purchasing a song on itunes and then copy it to my shuffle. Is this possible. If so, where do I find the music and how do I get it to my shuffle. I have been trying for 3 hours and about to give up. Please help me.

Yes, of course. iTunes was around before there was an iTunes Store. And I think Apple cares MORE that you purchased an iPod, and LESS about where you get your music to play on the iPod.
You can buy music the "old school" way, on CD, and "rip" them into your iTunes library using iTunes.
You can download/buy music from other sources, as longs as the format is MP3 or AAC, and don't use copy protection (DRM). NOTE: iTunes Store music downloads do not use any DRM.
One example is Amazon.com.
http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_mp3_str1?ie=UTF8&node=163 856011
They offer a utility called Amazon MP3 Downloader, which automatically places your downloads into your iTunes library.
If the source just provides you with the downloaded song files, all you need to do is open a window showing the files or the folder containing the files. Run iTunes and select Music in the sidebar, under LIBRARY. Then drag the songs files or the folder containing the files from its window to the iTunes window, and drop them there. iTunes will add the songs to your iTunes library.
Once the songs are in your iTunes library, you can automatically sync or manually load them onto your shuffle.

Hi Scott,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble using your Acrobat.com subscription. I've checked your account, and there are no issues there.
Is the problem specific to one PDF file, or are you running into the same problem with multiple files? How large is the file (or files) that you're trying to upload? Are they complex (large number of pages; mix of text and graphics)?
Let's start with some basic troubleshooting:
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported browsers).
Make sure that there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
Let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, we can take a closer look at the files that you're trying to convert.
Best,
Sara

Yes it does and there is an indication that the software is downloading but after a few hours, it just stops without any error message. Everything simply disappears and I need to start over again. I have a superfast connection so it should no be this slow. Everything worked fine on my MBP and I am in the same place. Any ideas

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5. Can't do it, except for 1 at a time. I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer. Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5. I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos! Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.
Cheers,

I have been trying for 24 hours to network two W 7 and a Vista Pre.

I have been trying for 24 hours to network two W 7 and a Vista Pre. The one W7 and the Vista can open anything the last W7 will NOT OPEN ANYTHING.
I get error code: 0x080070035 over and over and over.

Not sure if this will help or not. I was trying to network W7 and XP a few weeks ago. I had been trying to name the network with my own name on both computers. Nothing worked until I changed the network name to the default xp network name for both computers. Then it all worked fine.

HT201304 I have been trying for two weeks to log into iTunes using my Bank of America Visa Debit card but no progress. Is it that iTunes does not use debit card, I only have a debit card and Not credit card, so does it mean I can't use iTunes .?

I believe if you haven't already setup an itunes account, if you have access to computer with iTunes installed , you can create an iTunes account on that computer with no credit/debit card and then just buy iTunes cards at your local retailer to get credits.

I bought the mountain lion app and i have been trying for days to install it someone help i am going crazy up in here!

I bought the mountain lion since last week and have been trying for hours to install it but i am not even getting to install it someone HELP!!!

I wonder, if you may want to clean up your system first. You could try to scan and repair permissions on that machine, make sure no disc errors, and also do a final pram reset. Then try to re-install again.
If the install still halts, then re-download the installer.

Have been trying for nearly an hour and a half to get on chat through three tries to solve my 4.0 profile access question

Have been trying for almost an hour and half to get someone to answer in chat and have been passed over a few times. Cannot access my work profile after I downloaded 4.0 yesterday. Keeps saying I'm offline but I'm not and the box is unchecked. Have tried restart several times, re-install several times to no avail. Haven't gotten help in chat nor answers here. But I need to use it for work. Worked perfectly in 3. ,ost recent. HELP!!!

Thank you for offering. To the extent possible, I removed all impediments to Firefox from Symantec Endpoint Protection which is what my university uses along with Cisco Clean Agent where I also removed impediments. The problem was not solved. I continue not to be able to use one of my two profiles (the more important one) since I downloaded 4.0 yesterday. Worked fine with 3. every update since 3.0. I still get the same message about being offline and unchecking the box which has never been checked. Still searching for a remedy.
Don't know enough to find which part of the Firefox program in the C drive program files is the culprit, but it is surely somewhere there. Little at a loss as to what to do. Wish I knew of a Firefox whiz or Geek either near where I live or in Frederick, MD; Leesburg, VA or Washington, DC

hi u seem to know alot about ipods, would u mind helping me with a problem that i am currently havig with my menu button on the iod touch 4th generation?

I have been using firefox on an older computer, I just got a different computer and have been trying for 3 days to get firefox. I hit download it says its done and when I hit install it tells me the file is corrupt.

I have tried it over and over from different links and I can not download and install and I can not figure out whyI have enough memory and I'm running windows vista my computer and virus protection are up to date. I have been trying to download firefox from google chrome and IE. I just don't understand why my computer keeps telling me that your file is corrupt when I know I downloaded it before and it was fine.

hello, the last version that was compatible with os x 10.4.11 is firefox 3.6.28 - you can download it from here: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac?s=installing&r=7&e=es&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx35 Install Firefox on Mac]
afterwards please disable automatic-updates in preferences > advanced > updates so that it doesn't happen again...
