Help with adding new song to 2007 iPod shuffle

I have an iPod shuffle from 2007 and just recently went to add new songs to it.  Itunes program keeps telling me I have to erase everything and reload w/ new playlist I've added??  Confused, don't remember it working like this last year when I added songs.  Any help??

With the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, it can only be associated with one iTunes library at a time.  That has always been the design.  It is basically like a mobile playlist for iTunes the library.  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles work more like the "bigger" iPods that have a screen, which is different from the very simple 1st and 2nd gen.
If you previously used this shuffle with a different iTunes library, iTunes is asking if you want to associate the shuffle with the iTunes library you are now using.
Any help??
What do you want to do...?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • Help with saving the songs on my ipod after i format my computer

    hi there
    how can i save the songs on my ipod once i foramt my computer and itunes doesnt recognize any songs (cuz it will all be gone)
    how do i keep the songs without itunes deleting them right away?

    otherwise you could just go into My Computer
    Except that the files are hidden, and even more to the point, you'll have no way to get back your playlists and ratings. All of which yamipod will do for you with no problem. Why do things the hard way when there is so easy a solution?

  • It doesn't make any sense (trouble adding new songs/podcasts)

    Hi all
    When I add new songs to my Ipod shuffle, some will play, some won't. When I try to add some podcasts, I can't add them directly by dragging and dropping, so I had to create a new playlist where I can add some new podcasts. And some will play, and some won't.
    By the way, I can't see a whole list of files "inside" the ipod. Instead, I see them in two separated screens.
    OS: Windows XP
    All podcasts and songs are ok, they can be listened to when played on iTunes
    Already changed options for podcasts, so they will play when playing in random order.
    iPod shows up in iTunes when pluged in
    Used apple stuff for some time now.
    I used a ipod shuffle 2nd gen for some time and no problem at all...
    thanks in advance.
    This whole things it has been doing my head in for the last two days...
    PS: And sometimes it only plays podcasts. And sometimes only music and no trace of podcasts. As I said... it doesn't make any sense...
    Message was edited by: MGLVGLM
    PS 2nd: Tried again, now with two podcasts (ok to play random) and one song. Only can listed to the song. No idea why it doesn't play the podcasts.
    Help anyone?
    Thanks again

    well, it seems that I have found the solution (i read somewhere, not already checked)
    Since ipod shuffle 3G, you have to add podcasts to a playing list, otherwise you can't listen to them.
    If I get it solved, I will write here for the next who doesn't receive much help from Apple and has to google the solution.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • HT4527 I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone?

    I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
    Please help!!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Adding new songs to ipod a 2nd time

    Hi everyone
    I'm a noobie when it comes to using an ipod and itunes.I've already loaded about 5200 songs to my 30 gig ipod and they sound great but how do I add more songs without deleting all previous songs? It took 10 hours to load the current songs to my ipod.I just want to add a few more without deleting the current libary. Is that possible or do I have to delete the current list and load all the songs all over again. Thanks to all those who answer.
    5th generation 30 gig ipod   Windows XP  

    no i didn't delete them i just added a few more songs into itunes and when i try to sync to add the additional songs itunes wants to delete all the songs on the ipod and then completely reload the ipod with the entire library.All I'm trying to do is add more songs to the ipod without having to delete any songs off the ipod.In otherwords the itunes has all my music in it. But if down the road i want to add more music to my library and then to my ipod. I only want to sync the new songs to the ipod and not delete every song on the ipod just to reload the whole library.
    Thanks for responding

  • I am unable to put new songs on my ipod

    I am unable to put new songs on my ipod. When I put new songs into my itunes, i see them just fine. I go to sync my ipod and it says "sync is complete" within seconds, so I know nothing has been synced. New playlists are also not showing up. Many of my default playlists show up multiple times(90s music, recently played, etc). I have the 30 gig ipod with video. There are about 20 gigs on it. Thanks.

    ok the manually manage music box was checked, I don't know how. That seemed to help. As long as I have you here perhaps you can help me with another problem that happens from time to time. My ipod likes to fall asleep when I'm syncing it. It goes to the apple icon on the ipod, stops syncing, and then starts back up again. The problem seems to go away when I restart the computer and/or itunes. I'll occassionally get an error message that says "the ipod "mullen's ipod can be synced. The required file cannot be found." Then I get the message at the top of the screen that says sync complete. In some cases it actually is synced! Any thoughts?

  • ITunes won't recognize new songs on my iPod

    I put some new songs on my iPod with another iTunes on another computer. When I opened iTunes and plugged my iPod in the first time after I had added the songs, iTunes recognized the iPod but didn't do anything about the new songs. My iPod also stayed on the "Do not disconnect" screen. I had to press the eject button to safely disconnect it. I thought that when there were songs on the iPod that weren't on iTunes, iTunes would question you about whether or not to add them to iTunes. I have it set to "Manually Manage Music". So,
    1. Is it possible to get iTunes to recognize the new songs?
    2. If so, how?
    thanks

    I thought that when there were songs on the iPod that weren't on iTunes, iTunes would question you about whether or not to add them to iTunes.
    This applies to music purchased from the iTunes store, when the computer you're using is authorized to play music from that iTunes store account. It does not apply to music obtained in other ways, or if the computer isn't authorized to play that music.

  • Help with adding image onclick

    Hey everyone,
    I am making a simple game in AS3 and need help with adding an image once they have click on something.
    On the left of the screen are sentences and on the right an image of a form. When they click each sentence on the left, writing appears on the form. Its very simple. With this said, what I would like to do is once the user click one of the sentences on the left, I would like a checkmark image to appear over the sentence so they know they have already clicked on it.
    How would I go about adding this to my code?
    var fields:Array = new Array();
    one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
        fields.push(new one_form());
        fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
        fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
        this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);   
        one_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
        one_btn.buttonMode = false;
        //gotoAndStop("one")
    two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
    two_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick2a(event:MouseEvent):void
        fields.push(new two_form());
        fields[fields.length-1].x = 343.25;
        fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
        this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
        two_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
        two_btn.buttonMode = false;
        //gotoAndStop("two")

    I don't know where you're positioning the button that should enable/disable the checkbox but for "one_btn" let's just say it's at position: x=100, y=200. Say you'd want the checkbox to be to the left of it, so the checkbox would be displayed at: x=50, y=200. Also say you have a checkbox graphic in your library, exported for actionscript with the name "CheckBoxGraphic".
    Using your code with some sprinkles:
    // I'd turn this into a sprite but we'll use the default, MovieClip
    var _checkBox:MovieClip = new CheckBoxGraphic();
    // add to display list but hide
    _checkBox.visible = false;
    // just for optimization
    _checkBox.mouseEnabled = false;
    _checkBox.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    // adding it early so make sure the forms loaded don't overlap the
    // checkbox or it will cover it, otherwise swapping of depths is needed
    addChild(_checkBox);
    // I'll use a flag (a reference for this) to know what button is currently pushed
    var _currentButton:Object;
    one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
         // Check if this button is currently the pressed button
         if (_currentButton == one_btn)
              // disable checkbox, remove form
              _checkBox.visible = false;
              // form should be last added to fields array, remove
              removeChild(fields[fields.length - 1]);
              fields.pop();
              // clear any reference to this button
              _currentButton = null;
         else
              // enable checkbox
              _checkBox.visible = true;
              _checkBox.x = 50;
              _checkBox.y = 200;
              // add form
              fields.push(new one_form());
              fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
              fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
              this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
              // save this button as last clicked
              _currentButton = one_btn;
         // not sure what this is
        //gotoAndStop("one")
    I'd also centralize all the click handlers into a single handler and use the buttons name to branch on what to do, but that's a different discussion. Just see if this makes sense to you.
    The jist is a graphic of a checkbox that is a MovieClip symbol in your library exported to actionscript with the class name CheckBoxGraphic() is created and added to the display list.
    I made a variable that points itself to the last clicked button, when the "on" state is desired. If I detect the last clicked button was this button, I remove the form I added and the checkbox. If the last clicked button is not this button, I enable and position the checkbox as well as add the form.
    What is left to do is handle the sitation where multiple buttons are on the screen. When a new button is pushed it should remove anything the previous button added. This code simply demonstrates clicking the same button multiple times to toggle it "on and off".

    i switched to manually managed songs coz i lost all my music ,and now i can t add new songs on my ipod ,i ve searched in support but they don t explain it very well!!! can somebody help me please??? how can i drag my songs to my ipod??? thank u very much !

    Drag songs or playlists to the iPod icon in the Source pane (Sorgente).
    When you drag the songs or playlists, you will see a green + sign. Then release the mouse button.
    Hope this helps.
