From Shuffle to Nano

I have the shuffle installed on my computer, I just won a nano, can I just plug it in and go, or do I have to install the software that came with the nano? I don't want to lose anything.

If the versions of iTunes and the iPod updater on the CD which came with the nano are newer versions than what is on your hard disk, you need to install it; otherwise, you don't. In either case, you can add the iPod nano without deleting anything from iTunes or the iPod shuffle, and it can be done by installing the software if necessary(see above), plugging it in, and going through the iPod Setup Assistant if prompted.

  • Upgrading from Shuffle to Nano

    When I previously hookedup my shuffle it worked great, I was thinking it would be the same for the Nano but realized that when I plugged it in it automatically updated, I erased all of this info from the IPOD Nano and now it is still showing up having only 11% memory left, how is this if there is nothing on it? Please help...

    Use the same iTunes you already have installed. (You don't have to reinstall it.) You can use the Shuffle and Nano with the same iTunes.

  • Moving entire library from shuffle to nano

    I currently have a Shuffle but I'm looking to upgrade to a 4gb Nano. How do I move all of my songs to the new Nano? How will this affect the songs I've purchased on iTunes? I have tried saving my library before (for back-up) and it didn't work. Thanks for any help!

    Most iPods come with a partial charge. The last one I had was almost fully charged, but it will depend on how long the box has been sitting on a retailer's shelf.
    Also, all iPods are now supplied Windows formatted.
    Turn the iPod on and choose a language from the list. Now you should see the "main menu" where you can configure your iPod.
    When you first connect the iPod, you see the set up assistant/licensing agreement and of course you must click "agree" in order to proceed.
    Then you'll be prompted to name the iPod and choose a method of auto syncing your iPod. If you want to manually mange the content of your iPod, remove the check mark from the auto sync option. Click "done" and that takes you to the registration screen. Then your done, and you can begin transferring music from your iTunes library.

  • Itunes compatibility with shuffle and nano

    HI,, i bought an ipod nano, and then I installed the itunes, I have two computers. One is of my mom, and the other one of everyone else. I installed the i-tunes in my mom's computer, and everything was ok until she told me that she doesn't want i-tunes in her computer because the virus and that stuff, and then I tried in the other computer, but my brother has an ipod shuffle,and when I wanted to sincronize songs to my ipod nano, it said that the ipod just can work with one library (or i-tunes), if you want to be in that library, you have to reset everything, and I want to reset it, because I don´t have another choice, but I don´t know if the two ipods, the shuffle and nano can work with the same itunes, If I can do that, please tell me how, to keep the songs or the libraries unmixed.
    Thanks

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the 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 some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
    Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

    how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

    The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time.  Your Apple ID and password does not matter.  (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
    So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced.  You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.  After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.

  • How do i stop my iPhone iTunes from Shuffling songs?

    I cannot figure out how to stop my iPhone Music/iTunes from shuffling songs but instead to play them in order.

    In the Music app, tap the screen to bring up an extra menu bar showing the current song's timeline.  In the lower right is a pair of crossed arrows -- when enabled (blue), shuffle is on, tap it to turn shuffle off (gray).
    Edited to add: That's when you've got the album cover image up, if you're on the track listing, tap the upper-right corner to bring it back to cover art view.  The other two indicators/buttons on the bottom of the same bar are "repeat" (bottom left) to repeat the current track or playlist (two options), and "genius" (bottom center) to generate playlists of songs similar to the one currently playing.

  • Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.
