Re-registering ipod shuffle

I took the shuffle out of a box at work and connected it to the Windows machine...now, primarily, I want to use the shuffle at home. Since I read with horror that the shuffle only talks to one computer....how can I re-register it to my Mac at home?
Jurgen

Just plug it in to your home machine, it will ask you if you wish to "marry it" to the new computer. Done, nothing else is necessary!
It WILL erase the music you may have put on it from your work machine, but of course you can replace it with music from your home machine.

  • Registered ipod shuffle and never receive a confirmation email?

    I just registered my ipod shuffle today and after I finished all the steps, normally I should get an email to confirm it. but today, i didnt receive any email so far.
    So I restart from step 1 again( I think I might missed some step) and again... no email confirmation.
    Does apple still send out email confirmation?
    When I put in my serial number to check the purchase date, the system still telling me to register the product today.
    what is going on..

    sorted. confirmation email received.

  • Set Up and Register iPod Shuffle

    Each time iTunes opens, I see the same text on my screen. I cannot read all the text, because it flows off the right side on my monitor. Here’s what I can read:
    1. Set up your iPod
    Choose a name for your iPod and specify w….
    Want iTunes to automatically sync when you…
    IPod to the computer.
    2. Register and Set Up Your iTunes Stor….
    The next time you sync your iPod and have….
    Connection available, you will be asked to r….
    IPod and set up your iTunes Store account.
    I think I can make a pretty good guess regarding the missing text but – how do I “name my iPod,” and register? I’m guessing there’s also a button (that I can’t see) that says “Next” or “Continue” or something like that, that would normally take me to the next step. Help, anyone?

    Open the Control Panel, click on Displays, and change the monitor's resolution to at least 1024 by 768.

  • Registering ipod shuffle

    The screen does not allow me to move left or right,so i'm unable to veiw all options.

    If you aren't seeing all the buttons try increasing your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 so you can see the whole page: iTunes window does not display all options

    Your shuffle is not like your iOS devices.  The shuffle itself is not involved (in any way) in purchasing and downloading from the iTunes Store.  Your computer running iTunes is doing that part, and it does not care if you have a shuffle or not.  Therefore, for your gift card, the IMPORTANT step is to make sure you are signed in to the iTunes Store using your Apple ID, on your computer.
    Unlike your shuffle, your iOS devices (iPhone and iPod touch) ARE computers.  They are used to purchase and download from the iTunes Store.  That is why they need to be signed in ("registered") to your Apple ID.
    Once you have added all of the songs to your iTunes library, whether the songs came from the iTunes Store, music CDs, or other source, THEN you sync your songs to the shuffle as desired.  It does not matter if your shuffle is registered with Apple or not.  That is just a serial number tracking procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with using the shuffle (or with using a gift card to buy songs from the iTunes Store).
    It is important that you use the same Apple ID with the iTunes Store on the computer, that you use with your iOS devices.  This is because you can reload previous purchases at no cost.  So, if you purchased songs using that Apple ID on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can redownload them using the iTunes Store on your computer.  Go to the iTunes Store Home screen, and click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  You need to be signed in using that same Apple ID.  On the Purchased screen, you can re-download previous purchases made using that Apple ID.

  • Changing registered owner for iPOd Shuffle

    I just bought an iPOD shuffle as a gift for my friend's birthday. I wanted to give it to him pre-loaded with some of his favorite songs. He's not a registered iTunes user yet. If I register the product to myself and download some songs using my account, can he later re-register the product under his own name and under a new account? If so, how difficult would this be for me to do? (he's not very techno savvy). It wouldn't matter if the songs I had downloaded got erased in the process.

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer but I'm wondering the same thing. I noticed this question was never answered.
    If I change to a new Apple ID on my iPhone, will I lose all my existing apps?

  • HT1459 Can I register my iPod shuffle 4 generation in find my iPhone in case that I lose it?

    Can I register my iPod shuffle 4 generation in find my iPhone in case that I lose it?

    No. The iPod shuffle doesn't contain the hardware to support the Find My iPhone feature.

  • De-Registering a Stolen iPod (Shuffle)

    Someone broke into my car and stole my new iPod shuffle. I can't imagine how they will re-charge the device without the USB cord, but assuming that a new cord can be acquired the thief should be able to use it. My sister suggested there was a way to DE-register an iPod so that another unauthorized user can't use it. Can anyone tell me the path via Apple Support pages to de-register this stolen iPod?

    This is confusing. What if I want to sell my shuffle or any other used iPod that I no longer need? How do I "de-register" the device from my account so the new owner can register it on their account? There has to be a way to do this. I've been looking for this solution for a while now.

  • How do i register an apple product. like iPod Shuffle.

    Hi guys could u guys please guide me on registering an Apple Product like iPod shuffle.

    The original owner will have to un-register it first.
    If you bought a used Mac, you may have problems if the seller does not erase the hard drive and sell it with the original OS version.

  • I can't register my iPod Shuffle

    Hi,
    I've just bought an iPod Shuffle, well, I have done I gift to my girlfriend; I'm trying to register it, but I get "invalid serial number"...but I'm sure I copied well from iPod...where's the problem?
    Bye, Marco.

    "Invalid serial number" probably means just what it says; either the number is invalid or it's a valid one that you keep mis-typing.
    I can't really tell from your post whether or not you actually bought a Shuffle, whether or not it was a new one, or whether or not you should be able to register it to begin with. Absent knowledge and details like that, who can tell where the problem is?

  • I would like to add music from my Ipod shuffle to my new computer but my old computer is broken and cannot access it anymore

    I would like to sync my ipod shuffle to my new laptop, however I do not have access to my old computer so I do not have access to the old itunes library. My ipod is charged music on it and I have it plugged into the usb cord which is plugged into my computer's usb port. I downloaded the latest version of itunes but do I have to register first? can anyone help me?

    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
    However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

  • 2nd gen ipod shuffle cannot be seen in itunes

    I've done everything in the troubleshooting guide; I know that both the USB ports work fine (have an iphone), I know that the software is up to date, that the ipod works fine, that it showed up in itunes 3 months ago and that everything else is in tact. It charges itself fine away from my macbook pro and plays fine but it doesn't exist when I plug it into my macbook pro. I also tried to reset it; did not work.. Please help??

    Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
    shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
    and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
    ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
    regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
    the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
    when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
    correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
    that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
    previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
    problems?
    No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
    The other problem is that it will not sync and
    transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
    to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
    with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
    restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd gen and Mac problem/troubleshooting guide

    Ok, warning this is going to be a little long...
    The problem: Brand spanking new out of the box ipod shuffle 2nd gen won't play songs after ipod assistant setup. Flashing green/orange lights. Also will not update or restore (greyed out). Shows up as formatted for Windows. Software and Serial show up as "n/a".
    System specs: Powerbook G4 17inch 1ghz, 1gb RAM, 10.4.9 running iTunes 7.1.1
    Attempted solutions that have NOT worked:
    1) mac retail store visit to genius bar. it restored on mactel machine. worked and played songs. unfortunately resyncing to my library caused ipod to return to problems above immediately.
    2) another mac retail store visit to genius bar, this time with laptop to show them the problem. they told me it was my machine not the shuffle. i explained i am a mac sys admin and that is ridiculous...my machine though a few years old is completely up to date. we then deleted all receipts out of the Library dealing with iTunes and reinstalled iTunes via software update. same problem immediately after the setup assistant. no software version and no choice to update or restore ipod. downloaded the ipod reset utility for mac for 2nd gen shuffle and error message shows "the selected ipod is not supported by this utility". also shuffle icon shows up as generic white ipod. mac genius stumped so they swap out my brand new shuffle for another brand new shuffle.
    3) 2nd shuffle in a week and same problems occur. will not update in iTunes. will not restore in iTunes. will not restore in ipod reset utility. icon shows generic white ipod. i can copy music to it but it will not play, lights flash green and orange.
    4) tried to use disk utility to reformat. erase using MS-DOS, but it says FAT16 instead of FAT32. same problems as above.
    *weird that I can't reformat to FAT32 when selecting the MS-DOS format. I only see FAT16 as a choice. Disk utility should do FAT32 but I can't seem to get it to work on shuffle and i don't have a spare hard drive to test it on. Anyone have any experience reformatting ipods via Disk Utility to windows format? Please share...
    At this point I have access to a mactel book and will attempt to fix it on the newer machine. I will be very upset if it works because there is nothing saying that you need new hardware to use the new shuffle. i also get the usb 1.1 error message but again there is nothing saying you need usb 2.0 for shuffle use.
    if anyone has tried anything different with good results please respond! from my experience this seems to be an issue specifically between older mac ppc machines and the new windows drivers installed on the shuffle. i use windows drives all the time with my mac and there are no problems. however a brand new ipod shuffle 2nd gen out of the box does not seem to like my older machine...even after two reinstalls of itunes! even the reset utility is not working as described....
    any help with this is much appreciated!!!
    Powerbook G4, 1ghz, 1gb RAM, usb 1.1, 17inch Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Ok here it is, my final post on thoughts on this issue...
    Unfortunately, my guess was correct, there does seem to be a hardware issue related to iTunes 7.1.1 and whether it is on a mactel machine or an older ppc machine.
    I can confirm this because the ipod settings screen on my older PPC powerbook is TOTALLY different than the screen I saw on the newer mactel macbooks, even though the software version says its EXACTLY THE SAME! (iTunes 7.1.1)
    On a mactel macbook, I see the ipod shuffle settings such as "Autofill" etc with the correct icon and software version and serial number.
    On my PPC powerbook, I see a generic white ipod icon (even though the finder shows the correct icon of my 2nd gen shuffle) and the settings tab for the ipod is completely different....the update and restore continued to be grayed out, there is no software version or serial number available as well. This is probably why I am not able to register my ipod shuffle from my machine.
    I did not erase and resync the ipod shuffle to my PPC machine to see if that would allow it to continue working. So far so good. After unmounting, it still plays songs. However, I checked the "manage songs manually" option and added just one more song to the shuffle. I tried to then play that song but it would not play even though it was copied onto the shuffle...I could play it from the ipod via iTunes but not when I was just listening to the shuffle. I confirmed this with the application "PodWorks", the song I copied from my library does NOT show up in the list of songs on my ipod shuffle...however it DOES show up and play in iTunes.
    So I feel pretty stuck right now...
    I can have a working ipod shuffle but NOT from my ipod library. It seems I can only listen to songs off my friends newer machines because for whatever reason, the ipod shuffle DOES NOT WORK with a PPC Powerbook 17inch, 1ghz, 1gb RAM, 10.4.9 running the current latest version of iTunes 7.1.1.
    ***** to be me. Anyone else come to same conclusion?
    If this is real then other users with older macs should not waste their money on the 2nd generation ipod shuffle. Please respond if you have any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.
    Mac OS X (10.4.9)

  • IPod Shuffle 4th Generation not charging or turning on - Warranty Replacement?

    I have a 2GB iPod Shuffle 4th Generation that I just bought maybe 2 weeks ago at Target. It's been a great little thing to use in the car and just tonight it stopped charging from my computer and wouldn't turn on. I held down buttons, looked up solutions, attempted the reset, reset my computer, used a friend's cable, tried everything. It seems to just be a brick. I know it's under some kind of warranty and I haven't gotten it at all wet or dropped it.
    Can I get it replaced at my local Apple Store free of charge? I do not have the receipt for it, and I bought it with a gift card. I don't believe I've yet registered it online.
