Can I use Shuffle Gen 2 on another computer to listen to what's on it?

I loaded my father-in-laws iPod Shuffle Gen 2 with a bunch of songs.
He is Russian and taking it back to Russia next week.
I was hoping he could do what I do with my other iPods...
When I plug them into another computer - it asks me the usual questions...
When it asks if I want to manually manage the music or sync -- I click manual -- then you can manipulate and play the music on the other computer that is not your own.
But I do not see that as an option on Shuffle Gen 2 -- so when he gets home - he will not be able to play it while sitting at his computer! Only when he plugs it into his ears!
That kinda stinks!
Is there something I am missing?
Can I make it so he can add songs from his home computer to it later or at least not have all the songs grayed out so he can play them while it is synced and he is working?
Is the only option to go and by some small speakers?
Or is there some really obvious button I am missing that I need to click to adjust this issue?
As always...
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
-Pete

The 2nd Generation Shuffle does not work like other iPods, it can only be synced to one Library. There is no way to access the playlist on it from the computer.

My computer died. I do not want to loose one video on my iPod, how can I use the iPod on another computer? Please help!

please advise how I can put my iPod on another computer, my old one died a slow death. There is one short video on my iPod that can't be replaced.

- What is the source of the videos? If taken by the iPod you can transfer them to the new computer by:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
- If they were iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If they were synced to the iPod and not iTunes purchases then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

How can I use my itunes on another computer?

I am visiting my parents, who have itunes, and I want to access my itunes on their computer. How can I do this without disturbing their account.
I'm also scared that if I plug my ipod in that it will sync with my Dad's itunes (that would be awful).

You can't access your iTunes from their computer because your library is at home on your computer. You can only access there library.
To plus an iPod into another computer, be sure to set your iPod (at your house before you leave) to Manual updating rather than automatic updating. This will allow the iPod to mount and iTunes will not do anything to what it on the iPod or in the iTunes library.

Can I use 'software update' for another computer hook up via firewire?

My wife has a powerbook that has problems. I had to re-install the original software and back up her files. The problem is I can't get on the internet either hardwire or through airport. It says the password I am giving is incorrect. I have no problem getting on line with my ibook. So my idea is this, Can I hook her powerbook up to my ibook using firewire and then use software update to update her opertaing system. She has 10.2. Thanks

You can manually download the updates and copy them via firewire to the other Mac. Once the updates are on the other Mac, you can run them from there.

yes, you are allowed concurrent installations and activations on, up to, two computers.
by signing out of one, you can activate on a third etc.

How can I use two Ipods on one computer.

I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 Ipods on one computer without having to reload all of the music to the new library.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually
If the iPods belong to different users then there are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Can i transfer pse 11 to another computer?

can i transfer pse 11 to another computer?

Hi GederGenealogy,
A retail version of the software is good to install on 2 computers as per the End User License Agreement.
If you wish to transfer the license you need to deactivate the software first by launching the software, go to the 'help' menu and select 'Deactivate'.
You can then install the software on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.

Can i use time capsule as another hard drive?

Can I use time capsule as another hard drive?

You can, but it was not really designed for that purpose. Access to files will be quite a bit slower than a drive that is directly attached to your computer.
The Time Capsule's main function is as a back up device using the Time Machine application.
If you are using it already for Time Machine, it is generally not a good idea to mix Time Machine backups and regular files on the same drive as there will be struggle for space when the drive starts to fill up.

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation) if so, how.
Thanks

You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears...

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears... I am getting frustred!

I don't know if this helps, but I experienced a similar issue with my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7.
My "solution" to the problem, after pulling out my hair for hours, is to plug it in the wall charger, and then shut the iPad down completely. It does charge when turned off, although a bit slower than usual, or so it seems. Pheeew...:-) I realize that this is a pain if you have a problem with an iPhone, because you have to turn it off to charge it. Presuming that this works, of course. Otherwise, I don't know..
After the update, the iPad simply does not respond when i plug in the charger, nor does it connect to the USB port. The battery just keeps wearing down. I think it could be connected to the firmware change that iOS 7 brings, which I guess in itself has to do with Apple wanting to block out 3rd party manufacturers of power adapters of the new "lightning" type.
The only thing I can think of that might have gone wrong on my part concerning the update is that I didn't have it plugged in while installing the update - although I believe this is recommended from Apple. I'm thinking that in my case the new firmware update simply hasn't registered any adapter present upon installation, and that might have caused the iPad to not recognize an adapter at all, regardless of type. I have always used original Apple adapters, btw, so I'm not really guilty of anything other than not plugging it in while updating - or, at least that's my own theory. Which is better than no theory at all.. ;-)
Obviously, I'm waiting eagerly for Apple to solve this issue. Not really happy at all with this..
