Can I recharge my shuffle without opening iTunes?

My iTunes music files are all on an external hard
drive, which is being repaired. If I plug in my
shuffle in, to be charged it opens iTunes
automatically and when the song files on the shuffle
are not found(due to being on my external hard drive)
they will erase from the ipod.
Is there a way to recharge without opening iTunes.
Yes... you can buy an Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which plugs into the wall.
The easiest way would have been to tell iTunes to NOT "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" in Settings...but now it's too late.
Out of curiosity, WHAT does "being repaired" mean with respect to your external drive? Hopefully the process won't destroy your music files.

Plugging in Shuffle without opening iTunes

I have a Shuffle, so obviously when I charge it I have to plug it directly into the USB port, which causes iTunes to automatically open. However I don't always want to open iTunes... in fact most of the time all I want is to charge it. As with most stuff relating to iTunes, there isn't just some simple way to change this in the preferences section. Can anyone help me?

hehe thx buddy... i feel pretty stupid now, because the box was right there. i'm on a low rez monitor so you actually have to scroll down to get to that part of the screen... and i had never scrolled down! anyways thanks again, it works perfectly now

Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

Hello !
It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't streamimg my movies directly)
It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
Thank you for your answears.

Hi,
you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
Hope this helped

You are looking at the drop-down menus at the top of iTunes e.g. on a Mac :
If you are on iTunes 11 on Windows then press Alt-S and the Store menu should appear at the top.

I can't switch in Shuffle Off mode iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

I can't switch in Shuffle Off mode iTunes 11.1.3 (8) - its not work now

Same issue. Shuffle does not turn off either from the button or from Controls > Shuffle > Turn off Shuffle.
To be more specific, iTunes shuffles no matter what, even when the button is off and when Controls > Shuffle says "Turn on Shuffle" (meaning it's supposed to be off).

Is it Possible to Sync IPhone and Outlook Without opening Itunes at Work?

My employer does not allow Itunes, I used my Outlook calendar for appointments would like to sync from work PC to IPhone, Is there a work around to allow to sync without opening Itunes?

I am having the same issue at work. My office has itunes banned from being installed or even run on my computer. Unfortunately I am not important enough to make an exception.
Currently I have been syncing to my palm pilot at the office and then when I go home I sync that to my home computer and then sync my home computer to mobileme. This is a real pain to do as not only am I a day behind on my appointments but a lot of the time the syncing between multiple computers causes duplicate or overwriting issues.

I have a iphone 4 with no SIM trey hole. Is there anyway i can get the serial number without using itunes?

I have a iphone 4 with no SIM trey hole. Is there anyway i can get the serial number without using itunes? My iphone is disabled and will not connect to my computer because it is locked.

Why do you need the serial number? You could get it if you'd ever synced it to that copy of iTunes before, but I'm guessing that's not the case. You need to put the phone into recovery mode and restore it if it's disabled now. There really isn't any other choice.

Mac doesn't recognize shuffle and opening iTunes with Shuffle crashes Mac

I recently updated to iTunes 7. Now my Mac doesn't recognize my year old shuffle when I plug it in, and when I open iTunes it freezes the Mac.

I have been monitoring this forum on and off for weeks looking for a solution for my shuffle disfunction and this appears to be it.
My shuffle would play songs and recharge on my iMac but would not be recognized by iMac by any of the expected means. This problem started after updating to iTunes 7. Tried uninstalling 7, and any of the other suggestions here that could work with out communication between iMac and shuffle, since the shuffle would not link to the computer.
I had resigned myself to a shuffle that played only the songs currently loaded until it finally died. But, using the 06-06-28 updater worked for me as well, although it was a bit of a quirky process. Once launched, the updater immediately recognized my shuffle (first sign of life in weeks). When I chose the update button, it ran through an update but said there was an error after finishing and that I should disconnect, re-connect, and try again.
Just disconnecting the shuffle mad the updater crash. I had to restart my mac, but when restarted my shuffle launched itunes and there it was. It appears to be fully functional again and I jut cancel when it says there is an update available for my iPod.
Thanks djSTP!

How can I delete a message without opening an adjacent one?

Before Yosemite you could delete a message from Mail.app without opening an adjacent message by holding option and clicking the garbage can.
However, in Yosemite, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete a message without opening (and setting the message's status to "read") an adjacent message.
I often don't have time to read all the messages in my Inbox so I'll quickly read some important ones and I'll leave the others as "unread" to get back to later in the day. Yosemite Mail doesn't seem to support this workflow anymore…
Anyone know a workaround; short of manually setting a messages status back to "unread"?

Ok, I'm answering my own question. I made up a fake user name to get into my Palm Desktop and deleted profiles. Then I went in with real user name. All of my calendar entries were gone, but fortunately within the last month I had HotSynced and was able to HotSync again to get it back from my handheld. I think I need a blackberry. This stuff happens way too often.

Download the iTunes setup file and run it to install. Use an account with administrative rights. This can usually be achieved by right-clicking on the downloaded file and selecting Run as... or Run as Administrator.

If you deleted iCloud and reinstalling iTunes doesn't automatically reinstall it visit iCloud Control Panel.

I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

Help? can you set a password for opening iTunes?

ok.
my brother goes to my iTunes account and steals my music.
not a good thing.
so i was wondering...
is there any way where i can set somewhat of a password so that you can only open iTunes when it's me?
does that make sense?
i'd appreciate your help very much.
thanks-

oh ok.
yep.
well he doesnt use iTunes or even an iPod.
he just likes burns CDs for himself off my library.
BUT it is posible to secure my whole iTunes or just
the store account?
Yes, putting a password on your Windows account will prevent your brother from accessing your iTunes music at all. It will prevent him from accessing your documents or other files as well.
This assumes that your iTunes music is in its normal location in Windows, that is, in your "My Music" folder.
If securing your computer from your brother (or anyone else) is important to you, I suggest you learn how to use Windows security. There are many books and articles that can help you learn to do this.
