Can't get any music onto shuffle from my iBook!

I have had an ipod mini for a year and a half, and no probs transferring and updating from my iTunes on my iBook(although will not update unless I restart the computer...maybe this is standard, not sure).
I have recently bought a Shuffle, and I intalled the accompanying CD-ROM, then plugged the shuffle in and although it is appearing on the desktop, it is not being recoginised by iTunes. The info booklet that came with the shuffle said it would automatically open up iTunes and let me upload some music, but I can't seem to find anyway to get music onto the shuffle at all. Have tried all the tricks in the trouble shooting section of the info book, but no success on my iBook.
A friend tried it on their PC at home and got music on no problem...it seems ridiculous that I can't get music onto it from an Apple computer.
any ideas most appreciated
ciao

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and note your system version; if it is 10.2 through 10.26, you can download the 10.28 updater. For Mac OS X 10.3 systems, you can download the 10.37 updater. If you purchased a new iBook two years ago, it requires Mac OS X 10.3 or newer to run.

    If you want to be able to access your entire music library from iCloud, you'll have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud as it can be redownloaded at any time (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    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.

  • HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,

    I have a new Iphone 5
    Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
    Also tried manual
    TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
    Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
    Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
    Also tried with a new CD
    No fault during sync, but no music

    Good.
    Three things come to mind:
    1.  I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well.  Is that right?
    2.  Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna?  Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
    3.  AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot".  You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area.  Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

  • I can't get any widgets onto the Desktop in Lion (10.7.2) even with devmode on. Any ideas anyone?

    So, new on the forum.
    The problem is, that My sister baught a new iMac 27" with Lion preinstalled and we then updated it to 10.7.2.
    Then she wanted the world clock from dashboard to desktop to stay and we found instructions how to do it with dashboard devmode made on in terminal.
    But.. it just doesn't work.
    We just can't get any widget onto the desktop not for a short time, not for stay.
    Does anyone any ideas.
    The third party software is not what we are looking dfor..
    In the meantime, my mom baught a new iMac 21,5" with Lion and updated it to 10.7.2.
    On this machine the widget instructions work fine!
    What can be the difference between these two?

    The Class.forName method throws a class not found exception, so ...as the compiler has told you ...you need to catch it or otherwise handle it.
    It "must be caught, or declared to be thrown".
    try {
      Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    }catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
      System.out.println(cnfe.toString());
    }Here, I have 'caught' it.

  • Can't load any music onto my new iPhone 6

    Hi Everyone - I just bought my first iPhone ever - the 6, 128 GB - and am really frustrated that I can't load any music onto it. I try syncing through iTunes and nothing happens. It shows me a little grey circle next to each song that's supposed to be synced. Have tried:
    1. Deleting song duplicates using a software called Dupin
    2. Shutting down and restarting both my Mac Air and the iPhone.
    3. Unchecking 'Sync' under the music tab and then rechecking it after.
    Nothing seems to be working.
    Was super psyched about finally switching over from Android to IOS, and so far, it's not going so great!
    Photos have synced, no problem. But no music yet.
    Any suggestions? Please help!

    I've been hoping 8.1.3 would fix this less than smart bug on Apple side, but no, no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this? I'd like to sync my music, please. Makes me think I should not have given up my iPhone 5 and iOS7 so fast.

  • I have an I phone 3g and I downloaded the newest software and I can't get any music to play.  I can't change my playlists and the songs I have on the phone just get skipped over.  What can I do to correct this?

    it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
    are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

  • How can i get the music ive copied from cd onto my new computer

       how can i get the music that i have copied from cd's on to my new computer.(the computer my phone was sync to blew up)  if i sync to the newit i will all the music  thats on my phone, 

    Restore from the backup of your old computer. Copy it from the CDs.
    Look for a 3rd party app that can do what you want. Senuti has been
    mentioned in the past - I do not use it so cannot comment on how
    well it works. I would assume there are others as well.
    iOS does not natively support syncing music back from the iPhone
    to a computer.

  • HELP- My Mac fried, I can't get my music onto my new mac! Can't sync or it will erase it all. Any third partys that don't charge after 100 songs?

    My Macbook was peed on by a cat. Fried it like an egg. My Iphone (4s) has all of my music on it- none of it purchased, just what i have collected over the years from friends and cd's. Every third party app i have tried, only grants 50-100 transfers before it wants to charge you for the application. PLEASE HELP ME:(
    Also, i purchased an audiobook on my new Itunes and i can't get it into my phone. I use the same Itunes account and still it won't let me do any of this!!!
    *** APPLE??? your stock is plummeting, fix your issues you giant pieces of apple core.
    Someone please help me?
    Jay Anthony

    Ok the Mac fried. That does not mean that the hard drive is trash. Take the HD out and put it into an external HD case. See if you can boot from the ext HD.
    As for the audio book - is your iPhone logged into the account?
    To transfer from the iPhone to another Mac - use Phoneview from ecamm.com - $25 dollars - to get full use of some programs you will have to pay the fee. Such is life.
    Your comment *** APPLE??? your stock is plummeting, fix your issues you giant pieces of apple core. - Has nothing to do with the Cat or your lack of a backup.

  • How can I get my music onto my iphone 4S

    I hae just purchased an iphone 4s and can't seem to transfer my music from my computer to it.  Never had this problem with my old iphone 2.  Most of my music is CDs which I have transferred to itunes on my home computer (an imac, still running leopard)   when I open the music folder on the iphone 4s it just says I have no content and have to purchase music from itunes.  There is no ipod folder on the new iphone 4S like on my iphone.   I really want to get my music as I have some great stuff and don't want to purchase it all again from itunes.  

    The iPod app is now called "music".
    Is Apple ID set up on your phone and is your Mac still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
    Can you select the music in the music pane in iTunes, or is it grayed out?
    Any restrictions set in Settings/General/Restrictions?

  • Can't get any music to load on my nano

    Could someone pleeeeeease help me out here - I'm going NUTS!!!
    I am trying to put music on my ipod nano using itunes, it is music that I uploaded from CD's or that was already on my computer and is now stored in my itunes library.
    I have checked the "manually manage songs & playlists" under preferences and so when I try and drag down my library to my ipod, it tells me that I don't have enough room on my ipod, even though there's only 1.15 GB in my library and my nano should hold 2 GB, then it says it will copy as many as possible, but it still no songs appear on my ipod.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the software, but no luck. still can't get a single song on my ipod. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on iPod
    No songs appear on the iPod after an apparently successful update from iTunes
