All the songs on my ipod shuffle were deleted because of auto sync. Can the songs be recovered anywhere or are they gone?
I plugged my ipod shuffle first generation into my work computer (PC) and itunes deleted all the songs because of auto sync. I had checked the box to not sync with the itunes library because there were no songs in the library. But I guess auto sync was still turned on, and it "synced" all the songs off of my ipod. Are these songs recoverable anywhere or are they just gone?
Thanks,

The 1st gen (and 2nd gen) iPod shuffle does not have a mode where it automatically syncs to your iTunes library. It uses manual loading all the time (or the Autofill feature). So iTunes did not delete its content because of automatic syncing.
However, it can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. So, if you connect it to a different computer (with a different iTunes library), its existing content is erased. You should get a warning so that you can back out.
If you started using the shuffle with a different iTunes library, the songs that were on it are gone.
NOTE: The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles are different, and work more like the other "big" iPods. If it is set for Manually manage music, you can connect it to a different iTunes library without erasing the existing content.

During the restore of data using VSS Snapshots it deleted all the snapshots, this event was written in the system log :
The shadow copies of volume D: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.
It only restored 20 GB of data and there should be plenty of space in the Shadow copy storage
Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.692 GB (0%)
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 5.397 GB (0%)
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 694.752 GB (18%)
When there isn't enough space it should start to delete the oldest snapshots to free up additional space, but it deleted
all the snapshots. The problem is the IO but how to prevent this from happening again?Hi,
Since the shadow copy storage space doesn’t run out, the issue could be due to the Volsnap.sys driver has encountered excessive I/O activity.
You could refet to the article below to resolve the issue. This article is for Windows 2003 but it will also help on Windows 2008 R2 system.

I just bought a song and my ipod shuffle will not play it.. how do i get my money back from the song??, I just bought a song and my ipod shuffle will not play it.. how do i get my money back from the song??
Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back... -
I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?
Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists. Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's. Is there a way to access the itunes account?
Only downloads from iTunes will be tied to that iTunes account, unless you subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded the other songs from your computer to it. If you can't remember the account's password then you could try seeing if you can get reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If that doesn't work then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
When you've got access to the account you can update the primary email address on it to be one that you still have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
If you don't have the music that wasn't downloaded from iTunes on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
HT2905 How do I delete songs on my IPod Shuffle and start again?
I noticed that I have the same songs on my IPod Shuffle 4th generation, how can I delete all from my IPOD and redownload again?
This procedure applies if you are loading songs manually, not using automatic syncing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Connect the shuffle and find it listed in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click on the small triangle to the left of the shuffle, to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Music there. To the right, the list of songs currently on the shuffle is shown. Select the song you want to remove on the list and press DELETE on the keyboard. You can do this with multiple songs selected. If you want to remove ALL song from the shuffle, do a Select All (from the menu bar or right click). -
How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4th generation
How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4tg generation? I didn,t get any instuctions with mine.
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
In order to remove songs from an iPod you must plug it into the computer it was originally synchronizing with and de-select the songs you no longer wish to have on the iPod. If you no longer have access to that computer then I would plug it into your current computer and restore the iPod. This will remove all the songs from the device but you will be able to just move the songs you wish to store on the device back over. -
When iTunes was upgraded to the lastest (11.0), many of of songs/music/audiobooks were deleted! I tried syncing my phone to my computer to get them back, but many of those were deleted too! How do I get my purchases back to play them???
It shows on iTunes SOME of my past purchases, but not all (looks like around 30-40% of purchases). It shows on my apple id purchase history everything i have purchased; but in iTunes, some not all of these show up. What does show up is kind of "greyed out", so NOTHING will actually play. I have followed the steps in the iTunes support about how to redownload past purchases, but this dowsn't work, as the download button is also "greyed out".
I am extremly angry and upset about this issue. Could someone please help / advise re how to fix????I'm hoping that this may be just a misunderstanding somewhere.
Could you show an image showing these greyed out items? -

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?
Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

When i connect my ipod shuffle to itunes i get an error message the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found anyone have this happen? How do i get past it?
I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around). Shut down your computer. Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse. Power up the computer. If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again. See if there is any difference.
