How to get iShuffle mp3s to sync or show up in iTunes in W2K?

Am using an iShuffle with Windows2000. The latest version of iTunes that will install is v7.2. v8 or higher insists I need a newer service pack, although I already have service pack 4 installed which is the newest version.
1. How do I access support 'express' if I dont know my serial number? The iShuffle does not have a serial number written on it as the online helps says it should. I have no idea where my original receipt or package went from years ago. There really should be an option to continue to support without a serial number.
2. How do I get music already on an iShuffle to show up in iTunes? iTunes says it cant find the playlist associated with the iShuffle and the only option it presents is to erase the iShuffle and start over, which is stupid.
3. Alternatively, how do I get music onto the iShuffle that already has music on it but there is no playlist? How do I make a playlist out of the music that is already on the iSHuffle?
I dont see the point in the playlist- why cant I just drag and drop mp3s onto the iShuffle, preferably without iTunes?

If you can't get your Iphone to sync or show up in itunes look here!!!!!!!

FOUND THE ANSWER!!
Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
then click Next.
You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
And putting it here:
C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

It's still not working. I went through every step and still can't get my Iphone to show up on my itunes.
Though I did find that the USB driver is not listed under any devices...

How to get songs on my iPod to show up in iTunes

I have an iPod mini. When I connect to my Windows Vista computer, my iPod shows up in iTunes but it will not show a list of the songs. I click on the tabs at the top for Summary, Music etc, but no song list. There are songs on my iPod so the problem is not that there is no music. Any suggestions?

Select the iPod in the source list on left side of screen.

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How to get music i already own to appear in my itunes.

I recently had my ipod and my laptop, among other things, stolen, i've replaced both and now i want to put the songs i already bought from itunes onto my new ipod... but i have no idea how to get my already purchaced songs to show up in my itunes and im not all too eager on buying everything all over again...
Can anyone help?

If you have a backup of your music library then you can copy that onto your computer and then in iTunes do File > Add Folder to Library to tell iTunes where you've put it. If you havn't got a backup then you can't re-download iTunes purchased music without re-paying - you are only allowed to download media content (music, films, tv shows) once, which is why you are advised to make a backup.

How to get 11.02 (26) to look like the old itunes

I can't figure out how to get 11.02 (26) to look like the old itunes, the new itunes is so cluttered. I hate it.

I think your JTable is editable and thats why it fails to work.
The above code will work onlyfor non editable table.
I think the default setting for editable table is like that.
Let some one else gives you the answer for editable one.
Cheers !

How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

Hi all.
So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
Many thanks in advance!
J

In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

How to get a dvd onto the video tab only on itunes

i want to get a dvd onto the video tab only on itunes and not on my ipod how do i do that?

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.
