2 problems 1) ipod shuffle and ipad

I have an ipod shuffle with 20 Gigs of music, i dont want to loose. it was from an old computer that died long before now.I have no backups, but want to keep the music i have on it. when i try to connect it to my laptop it tries to erase and reset my ipod. is there a way for me to backup my ipod to the local drive without destroying the music i have already?
Second, will there be issues of having my ipad and ipod on the same itunes?

Hi,
there a way for me to backup my ipod to the local drive without destroying the music i have already?
Follow the instructions here. How to Transfer Music from iPod to Computer
will there be issues of having my ipad and ipod on the same itunes?
There shouldn't be. When you connect any devices to your computer, they will be listed separately under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select your iPod, then sync or whatever you need to do, then select your iPad, same thing.

  • WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

    Hi
    I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
    Thank you
    Bert

    oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
    Thank you

    Hi everobody,
    Is it possible to recharge the battery of my ipod shuffle and to share musics from only an ipad? In other word, can I work without a PC? thx for your answers

    Unfortunately, you can not. Content can only be synced to the Shuffle via iTunes on a PC or Mac.

  • HT1689 I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know how to deactivate it from my account using my iPad.

    I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know if I can deactivate it from my account using my iPad. Is is possible or do i have to use my computer?  It's not accessible. Can someone help?

    The only devices that are authorized to an iTunes account are computers. iPads, iPods, iPhones, AppleTVs don't count as authorized devices. There's no need to do anything.

  • IPod Touch and iPad Not Recognized by iTunes

    When I plug in my iPod Touch and iPad, iTunes does not open, but both devices are recognized by Windows 7. When I open iTunes manually, there is no listing for "Device" at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest iTunes version several times to no avail. I'd appreciate any advice on what I can do to solve this problem.

    Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.
    What iTunes media are you having problems syncing to your iPhone?

  • Ipod shuffle and podcasts appearing before normal songs

    hi i have an ipod shuffle 1 gig and i have an odd problem..
    i subscribe to some talk podcasts and i download streamlink mp3's of other talk programs and i have an odd problem when i add them to my shuffle.
    when i have the order set as the mp3 that i downloaded to play first and the podcasts to play last.. for some reason, every time i try to play the podcasts somehow skip the # order i set when putting the files in.
    I've tried the 5 r's once already i suppose i probly did something wrong and will try it again but does anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this problem?
    I have the latest itunes and i think i have the latest shuffle bios. I just can't figue out why it's doing this.. doesn't matter what podcast or mp3's are put in from my file list in itunes, thought that could help too.. thanks in advance.

    Hi, I already have a "normal" iPod that I sync my
    entire iTunes library with. I would like to get an
    iPod shuffle and use the auto fill from playlist
    option to put songs on it. I'm just wondering if
    this will interfere with my current iPod or does
    iTunes play nice with two iPods connected?
    IF you're using Windows, TWO iPods connected SIMULTANEOUSLY is a BAD idea. Otherwise a Shuffle will play nice with another iPod...

  • I just got a brand new ipod shuffle and every time i plug it into my computer it shuts down itunes. What's going on?

    Its a brand new 2 gb ipod shuffle and has never been connected to a computer before.

    It would be interesting if it could "talk" to iTunes on a different host computer..if it couldn't it sounds like it would be some type of hardware problem, and would involve a warranty replacement of the new device.....wish I had a better answer...

  • Problems with iPod Shuffle: nobody sees it after format

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle, and it worked alright for a month.
    However, I noticed an empty 0 bytes mp3 file I could not delete with either Windows or iTunes, and decided to format the device. Being foolish enough to do so, I formatted it via Windows to FAT, and then it synchronized with iTunes library OK (I did not reset or restore it with iTunes) But after I copied some music (about 600Mb) there and disconnected it from my PC, it wouldn't work.
    The green light near the on/off button is on, but the light on the other side is not glowing.
    I tried to connect it to my PC again, but neither iTunes (version 7.0.2, however I doubt it matters) nor Windows XP sees it. I downloaded the iPod Reset Utility, but it doesnt see the iPod either.
    I don't know what to do to bring it to life again.

    I have similar problems. I formatted mine under FAT32 with Windows' disk management mmc. Then i restored it with ipod shuffle's restore utility. after that I plugged it back in, itunes recognized a new ipod, prompted me for a new name with an option for "autofill".
    I first unchecked autofill, and tried to manually drag files over to my shuffle, but it fails to complete the sync process. then I tried changing its options under itune's Settings panel for my shuffle, it fails to sync too.
    so then i reformatted it in FAT32, restored it with the utility program. i opened itunes, typed in a new ipod name and CHECKED autofill. this time it completes the autofill on its first recognition phase, i could even listen to the song after i disconnected it from my PC. but when i reconnect it again, itunes can't sync with my ipod just as the previous try.
    I also tried enabling Disc Mode, but unfortunately my itunes is unable to sync with ipod, so the option was never enabled...
    Please Help!

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.

  • I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

    I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
    And which version of Windows do you have?
    NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
    You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
    You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
    If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
    Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
    IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
    Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there.

  • I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update.  I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes.  What should I do?

    I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night.  I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync.  It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back.  I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do.  Can someone help?

    Do you have an iCloud backup?  If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup.  However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.
