Help!!!! have a 1st gen shuffle and windows xp can't load itunes music to my ipod get error50

Help downloaded i tunes 10 awile ago and now can not get music to load to my ipod from my itunes library...used utility reset to restore to factory settings and still get error 50. Updated to 10.4.1 last night and still getting error 50 I have windows xp and need help on what to do next!!!!!!

If you took the backup of your music that you made from the old computer and compiled the iTunes folder to the new computer your iPod would think it was syncing to the same iTunes Library (it can only sync to one library on auto sync) and would add the music you purchased.
Sounds like you didn't have a backup file. You need to put all the music you had on the old computer on the new computer and then sync it. If it was music you purchased from iTunes download it again, there is no charge. If it was music you ripped from CDs then rip them again. If you don't want to download or rip them again then buy TouchCopy and move the music from your iPod to your new PC iTunes library then sync again.
By the way this is a user-to-user technical support site, I don't really care whether you buy music from iTunes or not.

I have a 1st gen shuffle and a nano that I would like to use with a new computer. What do I need to do?

I have a first gen iPod Shuffle with its software installed on a Windows XP computer. I installed the software for an iPod Nano, and was then unable to access my music library with the Shuffle. This is not my main issue that my question is about. I would like to be able to use both of these devices on a new Windows7 computer. What, exactly, do I need to do? (ie - deauthorize my old computer, uninstall or install/reinstall iTunes, etc.) Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

"Do I need to deauthorize my old computer first?"
Not unless you want to. You can have up to 5 computers authorized.
" And should I install the Nano's iTunes software, since it is newer than the Shuffle's, before syncing?"
Itunes is itunes. I don't know what you mean by "Nano's iTunes software". You need to install itunes.
"Or, should I just download the most current iTunes software, and then plug in both devices and sync?"
Yes.
Hope all goes smoothly.

I have a 6th gen nano and windows 8.1. Itunes does not recognise my nano anymore. I have tunes to download

Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load iTunes gift card numbers to download music. The system keeps taking me to the account screen to verify payment info. When I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen.

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music on my ipod it's all gone and some of the songs I purchased thru itunes

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music help. I called the support but was told that that help expired. I did not even know I had that offered to me HELP!!!!

You may be able to redownload your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
BTW, did you sync to the laptop before? Yu can only sync to one iTunes library. If you sync to to another library the iPod will be eerased and it contents replace with what is in the iTunes library on the computer.

I'm trying to install new ringtones but don't have a ringtone file in my library, so can't load new music for ringtones. Help?

Trying to install music ringtones on my new iphone. Downloaded app., and went through steps. When I got into itunes, I don't have a ringtone file under Library, so I can't download the songs into that file. Suggestions?

Ringtones library is now called Tones. If you don't see Tones under the Library, go to iTunes menu EDIT>Preferences>check the Tones box under General tab, sources then click ok.

I have the 1st gen iPad and for some reason, the sound currently stopped working. Even if there are no headphones attached, when you adjust the volume it says that headphones ARE attached. The sound also doesn't work even if I DO plug in headphones. Help!

I don't even know what to try so any help is appreciated.

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

I have a 4th gen Shuffle and when I try to charge it, a red light turns on and the Shuffle won't charge. How do I fix this?

So I haven't used my Shuffle in months and I don't remember how much battery was left when I stopped using it. When I connect my ipod to my laptop, a red light glows and my computer, nor my laptop will recogonize the ipod. It won't charge either. I've left it connected to an outlet and my laptop for hours but the red light won't go away. Help, please!

If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source. Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK.
So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle. It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board. If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
(If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

How do I keep the order of a playlist when I synch to my 1st gen. shuffle?

Hi,
I have a 1st generation Shuffle and am trying to synch a playlist to it. I am able to drag and synch the playlist, but once it gets on my Shuffle, all the songs are alphabetized. I want to keep them in the order of my playlist. How do I do this? I am SO frustrated! Thanks, Melissa

Melissa, once you go to the contents page of your device, you will see panels that say: Name, Time, Artist, etc. By clicking on one of these panels, you can change the order according to these criteria. I had this same problem for 2 weeks, couldn't figure it out. My wife solved it in 2 minutes. Try this and good luck.

1st gen shuffle with radar detector

I used to connect my radar detector and mp3 player together so that the sound would play out of the same place. I've recently acquired a 1st gen shuffle and it won't play correctly when connected with the radar. Neither max volume or sound check are enabled in the settings. What's up with this?

No idea. It has no speaker to play sounds.

Hey Guys. I have a 1st gen dual 2.3 powerPC G5. I just recently upgraded my OS to Leopard 10.5. I cannot for the life of me, get FlashPlayer to work. I Downloaded and installed the archived 10_1r102_64 version, but it still doesn't work. Help?

Hey Guys. I have a 1st gen dual 2.3 powerPC G5. I just recently upgraded my OS to Leopard 10.5. I cannot for the life of me, get FlashPlayer to work. I Downloaded and installed the archived 10_1r102_64 version, but it still doesn't work.
Everytime I click on a video it says I need to update to the newest version of flash, but my computer doesn't support the updated version. So I feel like I'm in a Catch-22.
Any suggestions?

Jay, you may very well be up a creek without a paddle.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

Then Test Adobe Shockwave & Flash Players...

If it in fact says you do have 10.1.102.64, & some sites say you need higher, it is a catch 22.
