HT1369 Old Shuffle Issue

my Shuffle (which is recognized as a Device on my PC) is not coming up in my ITunes account (e.g. it's not popping up an available device to upload music to)... what gives?

I've been told you can't change computers - I have
been trying the same thing (using 2 different
computers) and I cannot even get it to "RESTORE". If
your restoring process works let me know pleeezzzzee.
Have you actually tried the shuffle Reset Utility?

Have old shuffle..can't find my itunes library!

Have 2 issues. One, I have an old shuffle that I'd rather not change the content, just recharge it..and so it does..but..my music library never showed up and I am sure that I have downloaded itunes on this computer..and that my library showed up on it when I plugged my shuffle in the first time.BUT, I can't seem to access it on this computer. I did download itunes on this computer, but got a confusing message about damaged files...so I opted to deal with that until I talked with somebody who knows what to do.
Issue 2
I bought a newer shuffle...hopefully my vast itunes library still exists..I have another computer that is being revamped..so I can't homeshare it yet.. Should I go ahead and install my new shuffle and hope for the best?

I had the same exact problem... After several days of reading various posts and messing around with my computer, I got it to work.
I have Norton 360 installed and discovered that a feature called Stealth Blocked Ports in the Firewall settings was on. I turned off that feature and my ATV2 found my itune library on my computer. My iPad2 also found my itunes library via remote app. The stealth feature hid all available/open ports from other devices, so I guess ATV2 could not find the an open port on my computer.
By the way my computer is connected to a wireless router via ethernet cable.
On my laptop (wireless) ATV2 found the laptops library with no problem, the problem was with my ethernet wired desk top computer which contained my main itunes library.
I hope this helps.

Itunes will not detect my new nano. HELP! I have a dell with vista. my old shuffles work fine with itunes, but it will no longer detect my nano. Apple says my nano is fine.

I've worked with Apple 2 times. The first time we spent 2 hours on the phone uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, quicktime and other software and it worked for a while. Now, once again, itunes will not recognize my 6th generation nano. My old shuffle works fine. I sent the nano to apple and they shipped it back stating it was fine after upgrading firmware. However, it still will not be recognized from itunes. Please help, I'm totally lost and disappointed after spending money and so much wasted time on this thing.....

What Mac or mobile device are you using, with what operating system?

I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I had songs loaded on my PC and Shuffle. My PC crashed and they were unable to restore my iPod library (that is still on my shuffle). Now, my shuffle has been used so much, I must replace it! Q: How do I get my music from old shuffle onto new shuffle?

I had songs on my PC and my shuffle and my PC crashed. They were unable to restore my iTunes library when my computer was fixed. The songs still remain on my Shuffle, but now it is being replaced with another Shuffle. Q: How do I get my music from my old Shuffle onto my new Shuffle? Thanks!

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

I have an old shuffle that I still use with many songs. I created this account with an old email address that I no longer have. Is there any way to transfer these songs to my new account so I may purchase more songs and still use my shuffle? Thank you!

TS1382 My iPod works properly if only connected to my PC - disconnected it goes blank. Is this and old battery issue?

My iPod works properly only if connected to the USB port on my PC, unplugged it goes blank and stops working. Is this an old battery issue?

Yes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

How do I get the music off my old shuffle onto a new computer?

My husband has an older shuffle that he wants to transfer to his new nano. The shuffle is synced with an old laptop and we don't know how to transfer the music without losing everything. Please help!!

Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Lost file associations (Not the old version issue) Win 7 & CS5

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop. Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
Hope this can help someone else.

First, let me say thanks to John for posting his experience here. I think that Adobe does a poor job of managing file associations, given that we do hear of a lot of folks who see them get fouled up due to doing normal things like uninstalling earlier versions.
I'd like to ask, though: Did you try using the Preferences - File Type Associations dialog in Bridge?

A comment on "registry cleaners" in general:
I am a career computer "geek", and yes, Curt's right: Registry cleaners in general are a terrible idea. There are a few that encompass some valuable functionality such as deletion of old files from TEMP folders, but that's something one can do on one's own as well.
It's simply impossible for the programmer of a piece of software to know what information can be safely deleted from YOUR file system or YOUR Windows registry, which is a database.
Nor is it necessary to "clean" a registry regularly, as some say, to keep a system working well. That's hype, propagated by the registry cleaner makers. I use a system every day that's on the same installation of Windows 7 that first went in at the end of 2009. It's stable and fast as ever. I've even done several hardware upgrades and restored the same OS setup using system image backups just to keep the same fully configured, perfectly working system.
Ever hear people claim they have to reinstall Windows every so often? One of the reasons could well be that they've used a registry cleaner.

"skip when shuffling" issue

I'm wondering about the new "skip when shuffling" option in iTunes 5... does this apply only to when shuffling songs in iTunes, or is it supposed to work when shuffling songs on my iPod? Because it's not.
I've ticked this option for all of my classical songs, but they still turn up now and again when I'm shuffling songs on my iPod.
Is this because
a. This option only applies to shuffled songs playing in iTunes, and not on the iPod
b. This option will only work on the iPod software currently running on the
Nano, and will start to work when Apple release this version for all iPods.
c. It's broke.
My iPod is a 60Gb colour, running 1.2 software included in the June update. Anybody having similar problems, or know the answer?
Thanks,
- c -

OK... so I did some testing - I apparently have waaaaay too much time on my hands - and it seems that checking the "skip when shuffling" option for a song in the iTunes library does not flag the song as needing to be updated on the iPod.
I changed the genre for all of the songs I'd checked the "skip when shuffling" option for - so iTunes was forced into updating them on my iPod - and now these songs don't seem to appear when shuffling on the iPod.
Am I alone in having this issue?

Windows.old libraries issue

I have a user who uses a personal laptop for business sometimes. They brought the laptop in (Samsung) and showed me that it was running slowly, and having some odd issues with input lag (while typing). It's a Windows 7 Home Premium machine, with 6GB of RAM,
an i5 processor, and an Intel 4000 graphics adapter.
The first thing I noticed when I looked at it, was that there were duplicates of all major libraries, with a .old "extension". Meaning, that when browsing the libraries for that user folder, there is a "Pictures" library, and right below
it, and Pictures.old library. This theme continues for all major libraries (pics, vids, docs, etc.)
Now, the .old libraries are the only libraries with anything in them. The new ones don't seem to have any folder structure at all, and there is nothing contained in them. So I looked for the Windows.old folder I was certain I would find...... and it isn't
there. In fact, there isn't any evidence at all that there was an upgrade to the OS (same OEM installation that came with the machine).
So, does anyone have an idea how these duplicate directories might have gotten created? I'd like to simply copy the contents of these folders to the new libraries, and delete the old ones. But I'm hesitant to do so without understanding how they got created.
Additionally, the new libraries don't seem to allow me to copy anything into the folder anyway. It complains that there is no "folder" to copy to, and prompts me to create one. When I do, I get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll provide whatever info I can to assist in resolving this.
Thanks!

Ipod shuffle issues

OK
1) When my iPod shuffle is connected, and I restart my MBP, it takes much longer to boot... I noticed this after it took a while, and I was wondering *** happened. I disconnected my Shuffle, rebooted, and it booted fast like usual..
and
2) This just happened today. i was listening to a song and had the visualizer full screen... made the mistake of plugging in my shuffle to charge while this was happening. Whole screen froze on the visualizer. Held down power button, restarted. Now, whenever I plug in my ipod shuffle, it tries to sync, and iTunes just hangs and the little turning color wheel (aka the Mac version of the BSOD) appears. I tried restarting the MBP, but same issue keeps happening..
When I try to close iTunes in Activity Monitor, Activity Monitor closes.. and then I have to hit the power button, and click Restart.
However, if I unplug the iPod Shuffle while iTunes and Activity Monitor are attached, it says that it was removed unproperly, and then I get a message saying that I don't have enough privileges, and then it stops hanging and works like normal...
Shuffle's starting to **** me off lol..
Any solutions?

I am sorry that I can't help you with the problem you are having. But I have a problem as well. I was listening to my ipod shuffle and all of a sudden it just turned off. The green light would not turn on or anything, no matter what button I pushed. I then got an iTunes update and then the green light came on. But it won't play any music at all. And whenever I put the headphones in it I hear a little noise and that is it. I was on the iTunes website in the support section and read some stuff in there but had no luck at all in resolving the problem. Someone please help me. This my first day in this discussion. I just joined today.

Playlist shuffle issues

Here's the problem,
Searchin for a specific song using the search box on top of every playlist kicks you out of shuffle.
that never happened to me before. just this update.
therefore, if i wanna hear a song within the shuffled playlist, I have to scroll all the way down just to find the song and continue on the shuffled playlist. Does anyone know how to fix this please?
its just a small thing, but it irritates me coz this never happened before.
thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for propmtly coming to my aid! Unfortunately, I have done both of those things and yet the issue remains, arrrgh. Just for complete clarification(not do to a lack of understanding on your part, but possibley for future viewers), it's not that it won't shuffle, it's that it doesn't play anything after the current song has finished. I have to manually get it to play something else. once I turn off shuffle it plays thru my playlist fine. I tried to play it with repeat on (and yes repeat all not just 1....not that dumb thank god.) and the problem persists. It's pretty frustrating and I am starting to think that maybe something went awry in my recent update of itunes. Again, thank you for responding so quickly. If you have anymore suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
