How can i save my Shuffle playlist on new version of itunes?

I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?
shuffle 1st gen   Windows XP  

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

  • I can't connect ipod shuffle to the new version of itunes???

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Now every time i connect my ipod shuffle to try and update my song list it isn't recognised. Neither itunes or even my computer recognise that the ipod is plugged in!!! I've re-installed itunes and it didn't help. Any suggestions to fix this would be muchly appreciated. Thanks!!!

    Thanks.. This solve my problem...
    Hy there,
    I've solved the same problem and in order for you to do soo you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
    1'st step is to go into the device manager
    2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
    3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
    4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
    Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

    It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

  • How do I repeat the artist with the new version of itunes?

    How do I repeat the artist with the new version of itunes?

    Use the controls menu or right-click on the shuffle widget for options. Options are to repeat one, all or off. Use the column browser, artists view or search box to limit the display and then use repeat all.

  • It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite.  How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

    "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite (File > Save as)  How can I save an existing spreadsheet so that I can modify the data, rename it , and save it as a new document?

    To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!!  It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer.  The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar.  Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2.  This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.)  Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple!  Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful.  Case and point; it's not gone!!!

  • HT1386 How can I sync only selected playlists from my library in iTunes to iPhone?

    Option to sync only selected playlists is grayed out in iTunes for my iPhone. How can I make it so I don't have to sync my entire library?

    know this might sound silly
    but make sure that
    1) sync music is checked
    2) you have playlist with songs in them
    3) your songs have some sort of sorting form on them (artist, genre, album, etc.)
    also try
    rebooting pc and device and reconnecting
    if all else fails, redownload itunes

    I have a very good workflow with Illustrator CS6 and it bothers me that I have to re-record all my favourite actions in Illustrator CC.  How can I import my actions from CS 6 to CC version?

    Janet,
    I believe you can use do it in the same way as described in this recent thread (you may need to take the necessary time to locate the specific folder in the old CC):
