How do I set up 2nd ipod shuffle without erasing my playlist on iTunes?

I'm trying to set up a second ipod shuffle, for my daughter. When I first plugged it into my computer, I got a message saying it knew it wasn't my ipod and it asked me if I wanted to erase my playlist (or something like that). I chose "no". Do I need to create another account? How do I proceed so that I can set up this second ipod? Please help!
Thanks!!

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?

How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

Hello,
I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

How can I make my sons iPod HIS without getting him his own iTunes account and without using mine on his device?

We purchased an iPod touch for my son. He is using my iTunes account and all of my and contacts are on his phone. How can I set it up so his iPod is HIS and he doesn't share my stuff without giving him an iTunes account?

For contacts and calendar , all yo have to do is turn of syncing the calendar and contacts in the Info pan for the iPod in iTunes and in Settings>iCloud (if applicable) and then deleting the the contacts and calendar entries from the iPod. He can them maintain his own contacts and calendar.

I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products. How can I put music on my shuffle without paying for it on itunes? Can't I find a song somewhere and where and then transfer it to my shuffle somehow. I have been trying for 3 hours.

I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products and devices. I have a ipod shuffle, 4th generation. I want to find music, without purchasing a song on itunes and then copy it to my shuffle. Is this possible. If so, where do I find the music and how do I get it to my shuffle. I have been trying for 3 hours and about to give up. Please help me.

Yes, of course. iTunes was around before there was an iTunes Store. And I think Apple cares MORE that you purchased an iPod, and LESS about where you get your music to play on the iPod.
You can buy music the "old school" way, on CD, and "rip" them into your iTunes library using iTunes.
You can download/buy music from other sources, as longs as the format is MP3 or AAC, and don't use copy protection (DRM). NOTE: iTunes Store music downloads do not use any DRM.
One example is Amazon.com.
http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_mp3_str1?ie=UTF8&node=163 856011
They offer a utility called Amazon MP3 Downloader, which automatically places your downloads into your iTunes library.
If the source just provides you with the downloaded song files, all you need to do is open a window showing the files or the folder containing the files. Run iTunes and select Music in the sidebar, under LIBRARY. Then drag the songs files or the folder containing the files from its window to the iTunes window, and drop them there. iTunes will add the songs to your iTunes library.
Once the songs are in your iTunes library, you can automatically sync or manually load them onto your shuffle.

What do you want to do? I do not know what "set up 2nd itunes account touch ipod" really means.
Do you want to use another account on one iPod?
Do you want to create a second account for a second iPod?

HT1655 how do you remove music from ipod shuffle?

I'm so frustrated with the newer iTunes application. Does anyone know how to remove downloads from the ipod shuffle? I'm not finding any instructions on iTunes or in the ipod shuffle manual.

It depends on the shuffle model, and if you are using automatic syncing to load the shuffle, or the manual (drag and drop items to the shuffle in iTunes) method.
This document shows the four types (and also explains the methods available to load a shuffle with songs)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
If I assume you have the current 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, and you have been loading songs manually...
First, the latest iTunes many hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the toggle (small triangle to the left of shuffle) to drop down its content list, indented under the shuffle. Select Music there. Over to the right, there is a list of songs currently on the shuffle. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on keyboard. You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entiire list (Select All from the Edit menu).
If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or use automatic syncing with a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle, please post back.

As far as I know you need third party software unless you bought the music from iTunes, then it's easy.
Good luck.

You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes. When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop. How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back
