I can't use my iPod shuffle, no Setup Assistant

I've downloaded iTunes 3 days ago (on Windows) and the Setup Assistant hasn't come up when I plug in my iPod shuffle. Therfore I can't use it! HELP!

You can go into Windows Explorer and copy the contents of your iPod onto the hard drive, because a Shuffle is pretty much a flash drive with audio playing stuff and a battery. You may have to have it set to view hidden files first, though.

No you only can use the 30-pin connector to charge an iPod Touch.

Can I use my iPod Shuffle as a U-disk ?

I plugged my iPod Shuffle into the USB socket and it worked properly with my iTune. However, I couldn't find my iPod in window explorer. Is it normal ? Can I use it as Udisk ?

Hi,
If you are able to listen to the songs from the iPod shuffle then it is normal.
To use the iPod shuffle as a USB disk, in iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > click on iPod (make sure that the iPod shuffle is connected to the computer)
then check the option "Enable Disk Use" and slide the slider to the left or right depending upon the data you want to store in the iPod shuffle.
Post back if you have any doubts.

I can`t use my ipod shuffle

I wiped my computer, and now I can`t use my ipod because a message keeps telling me to syncronise my ipod with the computer and I don`t want to loose the songs I have on the ipod shuffle.

Can i use my ipod shuffle in my audi q3 ?

I have just got an ipod shuffle but when I connect to my Audi Q3 I get the message "content unreadable " what is wrong ?

Are you connecting it to a USB port on the car audio system? If so, a shuffle may not be compatible. Check the documentation for the car audio system for device compatibility.
If the car audio system has an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack, you can get something like this

and connect your shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system. You can then use your shuffle to play through the car audio system.

I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

The headphones will work with the iPod Touch. For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector. The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

Can I use an ipod shuffle 4th gen charger with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

Basically, last week I lost my ipod shuffle (4th gen). ****. so consequently I have bought a second hand 2nd gen shuffle, thinking that the USB - minijack cable would work fine - and it fits perfectly. But my 'new' ipod is not showing up in itunes, and neither is it illuminating...
I spoke to Apple Support, and they suggested plugging it in for an extended period of time, as the battery may be 100% flat, but after an hour still nothing.
Any ideas, folks?
Ta!

The USB cable for the 4th gen iPod has a different connector at the iPod end. This is the replacement part for the one used by the 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
and it states at the bottom that it is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.
This is the replacement part for a second gen shuffle (with a "mini-dock").
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
It's somewhat expensive compared to $49 for a brand new shuffle. There are cheaper third-party replacements (most have just the connector with no dock) available on Amazon and eBay, and elsewhere. Just make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

How do I download and install itunes software to use an ipod shuffle?

I recently purchased an Ipod shuffle and, not being familiar with downloading and computer products, am having difficulties figuring it out. I clicked on the download button, then after less than a minute it went to another screen that said it was downloaded and that was it. I found the download in my download file but there was no instructions or button to install it. Can someone please give me some step by step instructions on what I am to do so that I can start using my ipod shuffle.
Thanks,

My daughter let a friend use her ipod shuffle. Now we can't find her so we can't get into her itunes. Restore still asks for her password. We just want a clean install. Is that possible?

Can i charge my iPod shuffle whilst listening to Music? (plugged into wall and using twin audio jack?

I want to connect my iPod shuffle to a telephone line so when people are put on hold they can listen to music, however the battery will die after some time.
Can i charge the iPod whilst listening to music simultaneously? (Plugged into wall not computer)

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
The iPod will support playback and charging only if you have a wire that supports it. Since both audio out and electricity flow through the 1 headphone port you would need a cord of some sorts that will allow the iPod to charge and include audio out. As far as using it on a telephone. If the telephone you are using supports and audio input using the headphone jack then you could use the iPod shuffle as telephone music. If not than the iPod Shuffle may not be the best tool for you.

Can i use one ipod on two computers?

Can anyone help me please?
My son has ipod shuffle and has a separate itunes account, but before he got an ipad for his birthday, we set up itunes on my home computer, using my itunes account.
His account has lots of credit whereas mine now doesn't as we have to use my account to purchase his music!
We need to know if it's possible for him to purchase music from his itunes account either directly from his ipad or from my computer using his itunes a/c and ipod. A friend told him that he can't use his ipod on another account as it would wipe out his songs. Is this correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
or you could network both computers to share one music library
