Getting my music into my Shuffle

Ok, so I went to iTiunes, bought some songs. They downloaded, but to where? How do I get them into my Shuffle??

You can choose purchased as long as you only have purchased music that you want to sync to your iPod. If you have music that you imported from elsewhere, such as from a CD, you should select the Music option, which refers to your main music library, meaning it will sync any of the tracks from that section.
How long it takes depends on the number of tracks you are trying to sync. If it's only a couple hundred, shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes at most.
Good luck.

HT1719 i have got the music downloaded onto the computer, but got my shuffle plugged into computer but cant get the music onto the shuffle. can anyone help.!!

hi ; i got the music from the i-tune store downloaded onto the computer but got th shuffle plugged in but cant get it from computer onto shuffle. help please.

It depends on your shuffle type, and whether you want to do it manually or using automatic syncing. It seems like you linked off of the document that describes how to load content to your shuffle. This one
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
If you tried following the steps in the document, where did you run into problems? That document also shows the four types of shuffles. Which one do you have? Which method from that document are you trying to use?
NOTE: In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.

I had songs loaded on my PC and Shuffle. My PC crashed and they were unable to restore my iPod library (that is still on my shuffle). Now, my shuffle has been used so much, I must replace it! Q: How do I get my music from old shuffle onto new shuffle?

I had songs on my PC and my shuffle and my PC crashed. They were unable to restore my iTunes library when my computer was fixed. The songs still remain on my Shuffle, but now it is being replaced with another Shuffle. Q: How do I get my music from my old Shuffle onto my new Shuffle? Thanks!

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

My old PC blow and I need to get my music into Itunes on new laptop

My old PC blow up and I want to know how to get my Ipod music on my new laptop. I down loaded the new Itunes version and used my ID but none of my stuff is there. I am afraid that if I plug in my Ipod I will loose my music.
How do I transfer the Ipod music into my Itunes?

Don't worry about plugging the iPod into the computer, the first time you do iTunes will say that the iPod is synced with another computer and ask if you want to erase it and sync it with this computer. Click no or its equivalent and don't worry about it.
After that, you can use iTunes to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from your iPod to your new computer. It should be under the File menu.
If you did not buy everything on your iPod at the iTunes Store, take a look here before you transfer just the purchased content, http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/transfer-copy-songs-ipod-to-computer.html or just google transfer from ipod to computer and select your OS of choice.

Getting music into my shuffle

I am not a new ipod/itunes user but, you know how you drag playists into your ipod on the itunes screen? Well I purchased a CD off of the music store and it will not let me drag the playlist it is in into my ipod, but it will let other playists get dragged in....It is my mom's ipod too and she is a new user and I think she might have done something to get it like this (I am TRYING to help but it's not working that well) PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!!!

You can choose purchased as long as you only have purchased music that you want to sync to your iPod.

How do I get the music from my Shuffle to my new microsoft computer?

i had my older ipod on my mac and sync a lot of music on it. Now how to i get my old music from my ipod and put it on my new computer?

How would I be able to transfer the music from the old computer to the new one.

On my ipod when i put the music into a shuffle it just repeats over and over again.What should i do?

does anyone know how to make my ipod touch 4th gen shulffle on music work again?
when i play a song it keeps on repeating it and its really annoying having to change it all the time
what should i do?

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting. The icon on the other site opposite it is for Shuffle.
Any luck there?

Getting trailer music into a project

I had a trailer I created and converted it into a project. All was great and I got the music. I made my own project where I wanted to add the Romantic music from the romance trailer -- but it's no where to be find. I filter search any everything. Am I missing something?

The 'Trailers' are highly complex Quartz-compositings within the iMovie app, including all graphics and audio.
if you dare to dig inside:
• in Finder ctrl-click on 'iMovie'
• select 'show package content'
• goto Content
• goto Ressources
• the trailer's audio-files follow the naming scheme 'Soundtrack- ...' + theme-name
you can drag it from there into your Project ...-
best practice would be to copy the track(s) to another location, perhaps 'Music' and work from there with the copies.

Help in getting ipodtouch music into library on itunes

I have transferred music from a ipod classic to my ipod touch, now when i connect my ipod touch to my itunes account, it wont show up in my library and it wont let me drag and drop to it, can anyone help me out....thanks

For non-Tunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

How can I get my (vinyl) record music into iTunes Match?

I have a rather large collection of music on CDs, Tapes, and records.
Now that iTunes Match exists I would like to include all of my music into my iTunes library.
There is no easy way (that I know of) to load anything except CDs into iTunes. So for the rest of the library one must either buy all the music again or buy equipment to play the music one time and convert it to a newer format.
My CD collection is mostly loaded and since 99.999% (virtually all) of that music is already in iTunes Match it is not uploaded to iTunes again, but it quickly becomes available to play on all my iTunes Authorized Devices.
With the exception of that 1 in ten thousand songs that I may have that iTunes does not have in the Match library there is no reason to import the music at all - other than to prove I have the actual CD's. (In any case I suppose I could have borrowed them for that anyway.)
However for CDs at least they can be imported - but for tapes and records I know of no direct way.
With something state-of-the-art like iTunes Match and my PC(s), iPhone(s) and iPad, why use stone-age-like means to prove ownership of outside-of-iTunes music?
Why not provide some other information to identify albums owned and have them available in iTunes Match without the 99.999% useless step of loading them?
In fact for most tape music it is no longer playable (to convert) as the rollers in the tape devices deteriorate and they no longer play.
Vinyl records play just fine, just not easily into a PC without purchase of expensive equipment that would be used only for the one-time load (which is really just for proof-of-ownership).
What a ridiculous waste of time, energy and funds for that 1 in 10,000 songs that may not yet exist in the iTunes Match library. Okay, as the music gets older it may even be 2 in 10,000 - but I doubt it.
I remember that each album (and 45 rpm single) has identifying information scratched into it (around the inside of the innermost track) - can that (or something else) suffice as proof of ownership to get the music into iTunes Match?
Please respond with ideas to quickly and easily get already-owned vinyl record music into an iTunes Match library.
I personally do not care if 1 (or 2) out of 10,000 of my songs gets lost because it is not in the iTunes Match library - couldn't be that good in that case anyway.
Thanks!!

I too have not figured out how to convert my vinyl collection to iTunes match. Here is what I have tried:
I record my vinyl records onto CD using a Sony RCD-W500C which makes a very high quality recording. I make sure the song lengths are the same as those from the same album at the iTunes store.
Then I import the CD into my iTunes music library. I have to enter the names of the tracks manually because Gracenote cannot identify the names of the songs. I do this while the music is in my iTunes music library and the CD has been ejected from my PC.
Then I try to get the iTunes Match, but it never works. I do, however, get the artwork from iTunes. iTunes then uploads my songs into the iCloud. When I download them back onto my PC and iPhone 4s, I get the identicle recording that I imported onto iTunes. I know this because I can hear the static and crackling of the vinyl. I don't necessarily mind that noise, but I figured if I paid for the iTunes Match I should get the AAC 256 bps music. After all it doesn't cost iTunes anything to give it to me. And there's no way I'm going to purchase all my vinyl records again. I have about 500 albums.
I do buy all my new music from iTunes because I think it is the best system available. I just think it could be so much better if they would let me download the highest quality recording of the music I own from them.
I have also tried the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio which records my vinyl records into a music file on my PC. But that doesn't get the match either.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT ITUNES MATCH LOOKS AT IN OUR MUSIC UPLOADS THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THEY GIVE US THE MATCH!!!!!!
When you download a CD, there is some information embedded in the CD that iTunes matches. I don't believe there is any information embeded in the vinyl albums, but when I burn them onto a CD-maybe I could add the info onto the CD before trying to match it if I just knew what they looked for.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.
