How do I sync my ipod shuffle 2g with a new cpu?

I have both the shuffle 2g and the itouch 4g.  My shuffle is synced with my old cpu and my itouch is synced with my new(er) cpu (both devices are properly working).  I'm not sure how to get my shuffle synced to my new(er) cpu.  The shuffle 2g just blinks orange 3 times when hooked up to the new(er) cpu.  The new(er) cpu nor itunes will recognize the shuffle.  Both cpu's have the most current version of Itunes.  I've tried restoring the shuffle with the old cpu, then plugging it up to the new(er) cpu.  No luck though, 3 orange blinks.  What does 3 orange blinks mean?  Any thoughts???

Try turning on "Home Sharing."  It worked for me.

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

    ",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
    Not true at all.
    It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
    The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

  • How can I sync my ipod shuffle so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

    How can I sync my ipod shuffle (4th generation) so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

    Is the playlist in your iTunes library, or is it already on the shuffle (as a playlist)?
    If you created one or more playlists for your shuffle in your iTunes library (with the songs in the desired playlist order), you should set up automatic syncing.  Here's how to do that, if you have not already...
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Near the top of the window, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click Music next to Summary.  This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs. (Sorry if you know this already...)
    Check the box for Sync Music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  In your case, find and checkmark those playlists you want under Playlists.  When you click Apply, the songs on those playlists and the playlists sync to the shuffle. 
    When using your shuffle, the default playlist that you are using is the All Songs list.  To play songs in order, the shuffle's power switch needs to be set to the play-in-order (middle) position.  However, if you are playing from the All Songs list, the songs play in alphabetical order.
    To play from a particular playlist that is on the shuffle, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on a shuffle

    When playing from a particular playlist, with the power switch set to play-in-order, the songs play in playlist order.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

  • How do I sync iCloud/iTunes Match content with my new iPod nano?

    I have a MacBook Air with the associated small flash drive. For that reason, all of my music is in the cloud and some of it is via iTunes Match. I bought a new iPod Nano and I want to sync most or all of my music with that device for use when I travel and do not have WiFi available. When I did my initial sync it says I have 38 songs. Obviously those are only the ones on the local drive = recent purchases. How can I sync all of my music with this iPod whithout having to download all of my music to my MacBook first - an impossibility due the limited drive space? Or am I just out of luck and need to return the iPod to the store. Thanks!

    Ipod is not compatible to iCloud. The only way to load the music is through iTunes.

    You can only sync with your HP laptop. Connect the iPod with your cable to the computer and in iTunes sync it.

  • How can i sync my ipod shuffle from my itunes i own an itouch i want to sync in the same itunes but dont know how

    hello to all i need help i dont know how to sync my new ipod shuffle.
    i have an itouch 2nd gen and i want my ipod shuffle to sync the same itunes library songs to my ipod shuffle.
    i read topics regarding on how to sync with multiple ipods in one library but dont understand.
    my O.S is windows xp
    thank you all!

    All you really need to do is connect the Shuffle to iTunes and set it up to sync however you like.  It will have no affect on your iPod Touch syncs.

  • Does the 1st generation ipod Shuffle work with the new iTunes?

    I was just trying to sync my old iPod shuffle with iTunes 11 and it won't work. Any help?

    Mine works fine...
    What do you mean by "it won't work"?  It doesn't appear in iTunes?  It doesn't sync?  It doesn't charge?
