HT201269 Why can't my ipod shuffle be ejected from Itunes?

This is the last problem I am having with my Apple product.  This is a brand new Ipod shuffle, to replace my first Ipod which broke, I have had so many problems getting it to work.  Among other things I got error messages and had to reinstall ITunes which I couldn't do but finally succeeded after visiting this community.  I am very annoyed right now.  I need help!  Must be a simple thing.  I just want to get to the gym!!!

Hi,
Thank you for helping me.  There was no Ipod shuffle community in the menu so I went for Ipod Touch, sorry about that.  In the end I ejected my Ipod Shuffle through my lap top, it works fine.  When I clicked on the eject button I got a message that the device was being used by antoher device or something like that. 
To use my new Ipod shuffle I had to restore the original settings and was able to build a playlist for the gym, that's all I need!  Originally I wanted to use the voice over feature, I wanted my playlists from my Ipod nano to sync up to my new Apple device but that didn't work so...  I am not a techie and having to reinstall, restore and the like irritates me.
Thank you for trying to help me.

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.

  • Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes to show on my Apple TV3?

    Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

    Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

  • Why can't my ipod shuffle restore?

    When I connect my ipod to my computer, it says it needs to restore. When I select "restore", it says an error occurred and it cannot restore. Help!

  • Cannot sync my ipod shuffle to download from itunes

    Why doesn't itunes recognize my ipos shuffle - I can't download from my pc to my ipod. It doesn't show under devices - what am I doing wrong??

    Just to make sure you are looking at the right place in iTunes, in the iTunes window, there is a sidebar along the left side of window.  When the iPod shuffle is connected to USB, does it say "DEVICES" in the sidebar?  If so, the iPod shuffle's name should appear below DEVICES (you may need to click Show next to DEVICES).
    When you connected it for the first time, iTunes should have asked you about setting up the shuffle.  If that did not happen, there is some problem.
    Basic troubleshooting would be to shut down (power off) the computer.  At the same time, use this reset procedure on the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Then, start up computer, with shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Connect the shuffle.
    If this is a recent purchase, you can contact Apple's official tech support by phone 
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    (where it says "Phone")
    or, if you have an Apple Store nearby, make a reservation at the Genuis Bar

  • IPod Shuffle spontaneously disconnects from iTunes

    When I connect my iPod Shuffle to my MacBook Pro, iTunes launches, begins to sync files and charge the iPod. Moments later, an alert message will appear in iTunes erroneously saying that the iPod has been removed before being properly ejected. I have no similar problems with my iPod classic nor any other USB device. The iPod Shuffle otherwise functions properly. Any advice?

    It could be a problem with the USB port, the USB cable, or the shuffle itself.
    For the USB port, it seems to be working because it works with your other iPod.  However, if you have other USB devices connected at the same time (such as your other iPod), I would shut down (power off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices including hub.  Do this to Reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    (also, if you can note which shuffle model you have and include that info if you need to post back.)
    Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac  This is to test if there might be a power-related issue or USB conflict between devices.
    To rule out faulty USB cable as the cause, if possible, try a different USB cable, or try the one you have with another shuffle.
    Does the shuffles stay connected long enough for you to go to its Summary screen in iTunes, to make setting changes?

  • Can't update ipod with songs bought from itunes store

    I buy songs from itunes store and can't get them on the ipod. they are on the itunes library just fine - just can't get them over to the ipod. Get the message "some of the tunes in the library were not copied because your ipod software is too old.... - but I have the up to date software on the ipod - I get the message - "your ipod software is up to date" - - too frustrating - I buy songs but can't get them on the ipod - - any suggestions??

    Please help!!
    For some reason yesterday, whilst browsing on iTunes, a computer error message came up and closed the site automatically..
    After that, the computer 'froze' on me, so I had no other option than to run System Restore, which, after 2 hours, got my system up and running again, although I had JUST remembered at that point, that ALL files etc would be completely deleted.
    I opened up iTunes and looked at my Library, and to my horror, I also hadn't originally thought about backing them up, as I knew they were all 'safely' on my iPod.
    I have just tried this morning to 'try' to upload tracks from the iPod onto iTunes. I tried this, BUT, it has completely deleted the tracks off there as well - all 985 of them!!
    Does anybody know WHETHER I will be able to recover all these tracks, short of contacting iTunes themselves?
    I feel so awkward about it!! Any sensible advice would be appreciated!!

  • Why can't I find a downloaded CD from iTunes on iMac and iPad via iCloud

    Yesterday I downloaded a CD for the first time from iTunes to my iPad.  I thought all of the settings to connect to iCloud were in place and correct.  However, I cannot now see the CD tunes on my iPod or iMac.  What am I doing wrong?  Where can I check if the CD has in fact arrived in iCloud.  If I have the idea that iCloud should be sending this purchase directly to my iPod and iMac is this wrong? Can anyone help?

  • Why can't I access my pre order from iTunes when the album has been released?

    Pre ordered the new Jay Z album from my iPhone 4S and have been FULLY charged for the album. Each song is showing "purchased" in grey. What's the deal with this? iTunes WILL allow me to purchase the album again, and I'm positive they'll take my money again.

    I'm having the same issue. Support claims it's my computer to which I have downloaded 439 songs to already. Oddly enough I still can't download a previous preorder even though I am able to download FREE songs and podcast without issues. I asked them to cancel the order and they stopped contacting me with either a yay or a nay. It's not like they have to refund me or anything as they haven't drafted any monies yet. I guess I will have to chock this up as a loss and no longer purchase through iTunes anymore. Amazon is cheaper most of the time anyway. No back ups needed there. Peace.

  • Why can't I restore my iPhone 4 from iTunes?

    I bought an iPhone 4 the other day and after using it for just under a day it says I must plug it into iTunes and restore it before I can use it. I've restored it but It can never complete the restore as there is always a problem. "error (-1)" it says. What can I do to fix this problem or to complete the 'restore'?
    Help would be appreciated.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

  • HT203180 Why can't my IPad play HD movies from Itunes out of the box. I have a new IPAD purchased in Sept 2012?

    I recently purchased an iPad in September 2012. Tonight I thought I would download Spiderman in HD and take advantage of the iPad to view it. After I paid my $5.99 to itunes and downloaded the movie I found I can't get it to run.
    What a disappointment. I always had faith in apple until now. I lost two hours of my life looking around for a solution to this and found none.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    When I pay top dollar I expect top quality.

  • IPod Classic auto ejects from iTunes after computer goes to sleep on Mountain Lion

    I posted the following a few days ago in the Mountain Lion as I am suspecting the OS has something to do with it, but got no replies so I thought it might be good to post this here too in case this issue would be familiar to some of you.
    I usually have both a 160gb iPod Classic (original) and a 16gb original iPod Touch plugged into my computer and connected to iTunes, so I can listen to tracks from the devices straight through iTunes. This has worked very well for years, but since upgrading to Mountain Lion, every time the computer wakes up after going to sleep when I haven't used it for a little while, iTunes ejects my iPod Classic, and I have to replug it, but it doesn't do it with the iPod Touch. This never used to happen before, and is a tad annoying when it happens recurringly through the day.
    I have also noticed that, if the iPod is ejected, it seems to erase the play count for the tracks I was playing prior to the computer going to sleep. This is no major issue, but it seems a bit odd.
    I initially thought that this was happening on my work iMac but not at home (both running the latest versions of Mountain Lion and iTunes), but it does in fact happen on both computers. This behaviour only started when I upgraded to ML, and although it could be a coincidence, I think it may have something to do with it.
    I am using the latest version of iTunes.
    Can anyone help with this please?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Thank you for your reply, that's much appreciated. In a way it makes me feel slightly better to know that it's nothing to do with my iPod, although it is quite frustrating. Don't Apple QA their products before releasing them anymore? I've had quite a few issues with ML since installing it. I understand you get bugs with new products, but that would be one quite easy to identify I'd think. Oh well, I'll have to suffer this like everybody else until Apple get it sorted.
    Once again, thank you.

  • Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

    Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

    It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

  • Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
    There are some complaints,  that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.
    Have a nice day!
