Changing from a shuffle to a Nano

Yesterday I switched from a Shuffle to a Nano. I removed Itunes and all related info from the shuffle and downloaded new software that was included with the Nano, basically I started from scratch. For some reason when I buy a song from iTunes, it won't let me download to my Nano (my Nano was already connected to my computer). What gives?

Thanks for your input. I am fairly new at this iPod stuff, but I like to think I am pretty computer literate. When I "re-downloaded" the software, the songs I previously purchased did download into my nano. Amazingly, Apple still recognized my profile, etc. After I let the nano sync, I purchased a song and I could not "drag" it from my library or puchased area into the nano. Should I do the same thing you mentioned about deautorizing?

I just bought a new Nano. How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

Converting from a shuffle to a nano

Hi
Just got a Nano the other day and already have the latest version of itunes on my notebook < running windows xp> and I have been able to load songs onto the shuffle for the last yr. Now I want to load them onto the Nano and I'm not getting anywhere. Shouldn't it just be the same? Shouldn't I be able to just go to the itunes store and buy and load? What about the songs I already have? Shouldn't I be able to put them on the Nano? Or is there something else I need to do to transfer from using a Shuffle to using a Nano? Getting verrrrrrrry frustrated.
Thank you!

Upgrading from a shuffle to a Nano

I have a shuffle and want to get a Nano. Do I have to un-install Itunes and then re-install it i make the Nano work?

No you don't, just connect your new Nano and follow the on screen instructions, it will connect to your existing iTunes. Depending on the size of your library you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.: iPod nano Fast Start: New User's Guide to iPod nano

How can I transfer my music from my iPod shuffle to new "Nano"

My iPod Shuffle has music I downloaded from my daughter's computer. I now have a new iPod Nano which I have set up on my laptop and to which I would like to transfer the music on the Shuffle. When I connect the Shuffle to my laptop, however, iTunes only gives me the option to update the Shuffle, nothing regarding the transfer from the Shuffle to iTunes.
ANY HELP OUT THERE???
Many thanks

iPods are designed to download from a computer, not upload

Unable to edit my songs in my shuffle, such as deleting songs from my shuffle and adding new songs into it.

When i first bought my shuffle a few years back, i would use the itunes in my old laptop to add/delete songs from it. However, recently i realised im unable to do so on my new laptop (using itunes). Today, im unable to add/delete songs from my shuffle, using my old laptop or new laptop. Need help on this, as im unable to change my songs in my shuffle. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

How do i put my songs from my shuffle to my iphone?

The question is how can i get all my music from my shuffle and my iphone, On my iphone only so i can start a new play list on my shuffle?

This topic is covered several times a day. First of all, from now on, Back up your music because relying solely on your iPod and computer is not wise. You invest money in your music, so protect it.
Best way would be backing up your library with Data DVD's and CD's or an external hard drive. Back up often.
Ok, lecture over. Try third party programs that will let you rip your iPod onto your iTunes. Try CopyPod or YamiPod, both are free.
Or, you can do it this way: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
This paragraph I am quoting from Zevoneer, because I am tired of repeating myself and he explains it so succintly
If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting:

File name changes not reflecting in library AND Nano...

When I make changes to songs(title,artist,etc) in my ipod library these changes do not reflect on my nano if those songs are currently on the nano.
For example: if I change a song name in the library, if that same song is on my nano, it will still remain the same and not make the changes itself.
I don't understand b/c on my shuffle, any time I would make a change, whether in my library or on the shuffle, the change would reflect on the other end.
If I name a song 123 in the library and that same song is currently on my Nano as 321 it won't make the change to 123 unless I do it myself again. Once in the library and again on the nano playlist. It seems whenever I make a change it should be the same no matter where the song is located. Is there a way to make the changes show no matter where the song is located ?????????

Well something isn't right. I have my shuffle connected to. They both have the same songs and once I make changes to songs that are on both the nano and shuffle, the shuffle shows those changes but the nano doesn't. The nano doesn't even after I hot the sync button. It's like the files on the nano are totally seperate files and they aren't connected to the library.
Cliffs:
I have the Nano to manual mode and I'm hitting the sync button but the changes do not take place but the shuffle does. Am I missing something?

Using "shuffle" on a Nano

Is it possible to exclude some tracks from the "shuffle" feature on a Nano please? I was told this was possible in the Apple store but when I was unable to do it I phoned Apple support and they told me it was not possible. Any assistance would be gratefully received.

sort of. you can try shufling within specific playlists on the ipod.
create a playlist containing only the songs you want to hear during a shuffle.
then, on the iPod, go into the "Settings" menu, and switch the Shuffle control within there to "Songs".
now head into the playlist with just the songs the want to shuffle, and start playing. the nano will now shuffle within that playlist.
(that's how i do this on green eyes.)

Your files should be located on your computer, in which case you can connect your new nano and drag the songs onto the nano icon.
