HT1719 Loading songs on my iPod Shuffle

How do I transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iPod Shuffle

Which instructions? The ones in the manual? Do you really have a 1st Gen shuffle (since you posted in the discussion for it)?

Itunes screen freezes when trying to load songs in new ipod shuffle

I just bought an ipod shuffle for my mother but when I try to load songs from itunes, the screen just seems to freeze until I disconnect shuffle.
I tried to restore it but it doesn't work ("error 1418" is all I can get).
I don't understand why since I have no problem with my ipod nano on the same computer.

Be sure to use a rear port on your Shuffle, it needs full power to work.

HT2905 How do I delete songs on my IPod Shuffle and start again?

I noticed that I have the same songs on my IPod Shuffle 4th generation, how can I delete all from my IPOD and redownload again?

This procedure applies if you are loading songs manually, not using automatic syncing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Connect the shuffle and find it listed in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click on the small triangle to the left of the shuffle, to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Music there. To the right, the list of songs currently on the shuffle is shown. Select the song you want to remove on the list and press DELETE on the keyboard. You can do this with multiple songs selected. If you want to remove ALL song from the shuffle, do a Select All (from the menu bar or right click).

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

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?

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs will that hold aproximately.

My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom. If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below. If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

I can't remove or add any songs to my ipod shuffle when I connect it to my laptop

I can't add or remove any songs from my ipod shuffle when I connect it to my laptop. I've never had any problems with it before last night and it is driving me insane. Can anyone help?

Hey sunj313!
I have a link here for you to a troubleshooting assistant for your iPod shuffle. You will need to choose the shuffle that most closely resembles yours, and then follow the troubleshooting steps that will be provided for you:

How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4th generation

How do I erase a song from my ipod shuffle 4tg generation? I didn,t get any instuctions with mine.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
In order to remove songs from an iPod you must plug it into the computer it was originally synchronizing with and de-select the songs you no longer wish to have on the iPod. If you no longer have access to that computer then I would plug it into your current computer and restore the iPod. This will remove all the songs from the device but you will be able to just move the songs you wish to store on the device back over.

Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

I bought 3 songs for my iPod shuffle and they wont sync onto my iPod. It keeps saying "could not copy "song" onto iPod. Can anyone help me?

Can anyone help????

Is the shuffle full?
Which model iPod shuffle do you have? This article about shuffle syncing shows the four types of shuffles

Which method do you use to load songs onto the shuffle? Do you do it manually, by dragging songs to the shuffle in iTunes? Or do you automatically sync the shuffle?

How do I preview songs within iTunes list of songs on my iPod Shuffle?

I want to hear what songs are on my iPod shuffle with their listed title , so I know what to keep and what to delete.
Because, when you know you want to delete some songs, but do not remember all the titles.

Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. The next step depends on whether your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, or if it is 3rd or 4th (current) gen. If you don't know, this article shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
1st or 2nd gen - Look over to the right and click on the Contents tab. That screen shows the list of songs currently on the shuffle. You should be able to play them off the list. With a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, when you do this, you are actually playing the song file that is in your iTunes library (on computer), not the song file that is currently stored on the shuffle (but they should be the same).
3rd or 4th gen - Click on the little triangle next to the shuffle (in sidebar) to "drop down" the iTunes media categories (indented under shuffle). Select Music. Over to the right, you should see a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle. If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music (on the shuffle's Summary tab), you should be able to play them off the list. If you use automatic syncing, the song list should be visible, but "grayed out" (not accessible); you need to play the songs from the playlist(s) you sync automatically to the shuffle (in your iTunes library).

All the songs on my ipod shuffle were deleted because of auto sync. Can the songs be recovered anywhere or are they gone?

I plugged my ipod shuffle first generation into my work computer (PC) and itunes deleted all the songs because of auto sync. I had checked the box to not sync with the itunes library because there were no songs in the library. But I guess auto sync was still turned on, and it "synced" all the songs off of my ipod. Are these songs recoverable anywhere or are they just gone?
Thanks,
Frustrated User

The 1st gen (and 2nd gen) iPod shuffle does not have a mode where it automatically syncs to your iTunes library. It uses manual loading all the time (or the Autofill feature). So iTunes did not delete its content because of automatic syncing.
However, it can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. So, if you connect it to a different computer (with a different iTunes library), its existing content is erased. You should get a warning so that you can back out.
If you started using the shuffle with a different iTunes library, the songs that were on it are gone.
NOTE: The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles are different, and work more like the other "big" iPods. If it is set for Manually manage music, you can connect it to a different iTunes library without erasing the existing content.

Loading Music on to iPod Shuffle

My wife just got an iPod Shuffle and I have a question about loading music on to it. I have a 20g iPod with numerous play lists and about 3000 songs. Can I create a playlist for my wife on my iBook and just load music to the shuffle from my wife's play list the same way I just update certain play lists when I update my iPod?

Yes, you can drag playlists directly to the shuffle, or Autofill it using a playlist as the source.
