Can I use my Shuffle to ...

Can I use my Shuffle to transfer music files from a Windows PC to a Mac. The reason is I want to get rid of my PC, the PC does not have iTunes and the files are kept in the My Music folder. Can this be done? I have read that I can and I have read that I can't. Has anyone here done this?
Thanks to all who take the time to reply.

You can put your Shuffle into Disk Mode; do that in Preferences when connected to your Mac.
Now you just need to plug the Shuffle into the PC and get it to mount up as a drive. See your User's Manual on how to make that happen; if you need to install iTunes onto the PC, it's on the disc which came with the iPod.

    Unfortunately not.

  • Can I use my shuffle with Windows and Mac?

    My shuffle works great with my computer running windows, but doesn't mount on my Apple, or recognized by iTunes (on my G4).
    Can I use the Shuffle on both computers?

    Yes you can. The iPod Shuffle always uses FAT32 so it's compatible with both OSes out of the box. With a dual 800 I'm guessing you've got USB 1.1 ports. You're also running 10.4.2 so you should be fine. I've used my shuffle with a Windows PC running XP via USB 2.0 and my upgraded Sawtooth running 10.3.9 via USB 1.1 (both direct port and via the keyboard).
    Note that there is no "manual" mode for the shuffle so iTunes won't show you what's on there unless you let it remove all the songs first.

  • Can I use the Shuffle over USB in a car?

    Hi all,
    Have a brand new iPod Shuffle 4th gen that I want to setup for use in a car.  Have a Nano in one car, using a USB connection...that works great.  I'm trying to do the same with a Shuffle in a different car, but with no luck.  The stereo doesn't acknowledge it's even connected.  That said, I tried connecting it with USB in my car that works with my Nano, and it also didn't work there.
    Can the Shuffle only be connected through AUX?  If I do that, I assume it has to be controlled with the Shuffle as well, and can't be controlled through the stereo (showing the music on screen)?
    (I realize some of this may be car specific, but in general, trying to find out if USB playback is just not possible).
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    When you connect ANY iPod to a car audio system using a USB connection, the iPod is acting as a storage device.  The iPod is not doing anything else.  It is not being controlled to play music.  The car audio system is only accessing the iPod's "disk," like it would access a USB flash drive that has song files on it, and the car audio system is then playing the music.
    The most likely reason it does not work with the shuffle is because the shuffle does not have a dock connector (or Lightning connector) like other iPods.  It uses the headphones jack, so there may be some missing functionality or connection points.  You should check the documentation for the car audio system to see what devices are supported.
    If you connect the shuffle with the appropriate cable to an auxiliary audio input on the car stereo, you are using the shuffle to play through the car speakers, like with any device you connect that way.
    As an alternative, you should consider getting a cheap USB flash drive, like this one that is so small that it barely sticks out of the USB port

    Put your favorite songs on it, and leave it connected in the car (except when you want to change songs).  It has 4x the storage capacity of a shuffle for about $10, and there's no dangling cable.  You'll save your iPod from the wear and tear of constantly connecting and disconnecting it, plus a USB flash drive is much less susceptible to damage from extreme hot and cold compared to an iPod (especially one that has an LCD screen).

  • Can you use the shuffle feature within a created playlist from itunes?

    Basically I would like to listen to a playlist on my ipod using the shuffle feature. I don't wish to hear the playlist in the same order everytime. Can this be done? If so, how?

    Yes. Go to SETTINGS > SHUFFLE, and set it to SONGS. Then, go back, highlight the name of your playlist and press PLAY. It will play just that playlist, and it will be shuffled.
    CHeers!

  • Can I use a shuffle and a 1st gen on the same mac

    I use my 1st gen ipod for pod cast in the car. I want to get a shuffle to take just a few podcast with me when walking. Is it possible to use a shuffle and another i-pod on the same mac. can I manually transfer a couple of pod cast to a shuffle?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Itunes 4.9 is fine but I really would recommend getting the latest Ipod updater they just made another bug fix for the shuffle in the latest Ipod updater. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • Can I use two Shuffles on one computer?

    I have two shuffles one for me and one for my wife. Can i have them both on the same computer?

    Yes. Just plug them in.

  • Can you use the shuffle feature within a created folder?

    if so, how?

    If you're talking about a folder on the iPod shuffle, I don't think you can create such a thing. If the folder you're talking about is an iTunes Playlist, then yes. (Although I have one where it doesn't seem to work.)
    Another thing you can do, if this is really an iTunes question, is select Party Shuffle in the Source list, then select the playlist you want to shuffle from in Source below the main window.
    Good luck

  • 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.

  • TS3581 CAN YOU CONNECT A SHUFFLE (gen4) TO A KENWOOD CAR STEREO USING THE SHUFFLE USB CABLE ?

    HELLO TO ALL
    ABIGMAC1 HERE! GOOD DAY TO ALL
    JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD ANSWER THIS
    CAN YOU CONNECT A SHUFFLE (gen4) TO A KENWOOD CAR STEREO USING THE SHUFFLE USB CABLE ?
    I CAN USE AN AUX  3.5 TO 3.5 BUT NO WAY TO READ THE LIBRARY. PLEASE HELP ME!
    THANK-YOU
    ABIGMAC1

    Check the documentation for the car audio system for device compatibility.  A shuffle may not be compatible.
    If the car audio system is able to use a regular USB flash drive connected to the USB port, you should just get an 8GB USB flash drive for $5-10, load it with your "car songs" and leave it connected to the car audio system, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod.
    If the car audio system has an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack, you can get something like this
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    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.

  • Using new shuffle on existing itunes account on second computer

    I have a Nano and 2 computers. My husband got a new shuffle, installed it on one computer. When I try to use the shuffle on the 2nd computer, it warns that it will sync and erase his stuff with the library, so I hit cancel and nothing! How can I get the second computer to let me MANUALLY drag songs into the shuffle and recognize it.

    so you can only use the shuffle on the one computer you first plugged it into?
    No. The iPod shuffle can only be used with one computer at a time. Changing the link will enable it to work with a new machine, but erases everything synced from the previous machine.
    What if the original computer becomes obsolete? I have a better library on the 2nd compter , so would prefer to use the shuffle on that one- then , do you have to delete it somehow off the first computer?
    Choose the Erase & Sync option which appears when you plug it in to the second computer.

    It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.
