Husband if fed up with his Shuffle's shuffle!!

I bought my hubby a shuffle cuz he runs a lot. He runs about 45 minutes a day, and the shuffle plays the same darn songs every time! It is loaded with 250 songs, so what gives? This is disconcerning considering i am having trouble with my 4th gen. 20gb iPod pausing when the hold is on for no reason....ugh. Thanks. ~Keri

Hey Keri,
My shuffle does some of the same poop! I used to think it was messed up. When I am done for the day, I just switch it off on the back, I do not use the pause button. That seems to work for me. The next day it picks up where I left off when I switch it back on. Good luck!

I have a iPad 2. My husband set it up with his name and account. I want to delete him from my iPad. I can't download anything with out it asking for his password. I have my own account now. But it still reverts back to him when I want to update my stuff.

I have an iPad 2 which my husband set up. He set it all up in his name and passwords. I have since gotten my own user I'd and password, however, it i need to update,or anything else, it still comes up with his name. I don't have a clue how to get rid of all his stuff. Please help me to delete him completely. ????thanks you

Restore the device and set it up as new.
Either plug it into itunes and select restore under the summary tab, or (post ios5) go into settings, general, reset, erase all content and data. When either asks to save a backup, you dont have to....hit No etc..
This will bring the ipad to the start screen like you just bought it and erase everything.

Fed up with how shuffle handles audiobooks.

Hello.
I both love and hate how the shuffle handles audiobooks.
It is small. it is eaisly concealable. I put the the ear-buds in, I put the pod down my shirt, I attach it to my pants and all I ever nee to do is pause and play.
Why should I pay so much extra for a screen when I dont need to pick and choose between different songs?
When I am at work, washing dishes or some other manual task, I love the ability to just quickly bring my hand down to my waist and discreately pause it, never drawing attention to the fact that I am listening to an audio book.
However, apple has put no effort into their software in regards to how the shuffle or Itunes handles audiobooks.
First, Itunes automatically syncs the audiobook. Which means I always lose my place. If I want to put a new Dan Carlin podcast on my Ipod, Itunes will automatically synch everything on my ipod with what is on Itunes.... meaning that the bookmarks on my shuffle are replaced with the Itunes Bookmarks.
Further, every time I accidentally bump my Ipod the wrong way and hit the reverse button, it reverts to the verry beginning of the audiobook.
I used to just put a butterfly clip on the fast forward button to try to get my place back, but this is apparently so energy inefficient that It loses all of its battery life within an hour. Even if it is fully charged.
Honestly, how hard would it be to fix these two things.
Just make it so that, in the case of audiobooks, the bookmark in the Ipod is saved.
Next, whenever the reverse button on the Ipod is pressed, tell it to never revert to the beginning o the audiobook. only to reverse a little bit, as if it were held down.
There are other things that would help, such as how fast forwarding was handled, but the above two solutions are so common sense, and provides so much of an improvment, that I would have expected apple to do this a long time agao.
The new shuffle seems like it would be more akward in terms of trying to conceal it, as the cord of the earbuds would have to be work above the shirt. and it may take an extra second to fumble with where the controls are.
But even that would be fine if the voice over feature said at what point in the audiobook you were on. But it does now.
As it is, I am fed up enough that I am asking for advice. Moving away from the shuffle, and perhaps even away from Itunes.
Does anyone know of a small, clip on MP3 player/ application combo that would best handle audiobooks?
And if not, is there a way to fix my current problem without spending more money?
EDIT:
I really like my shuffle, and would hate to consider going to something like the clip+, but even just being able to know what point I am in in the audiobook would help the auto sync problem. Of coarse, that doesnt play AAC files. and that is all my audiobook builder app creates.

Max I am sorry you have been facing difficulties applying your updates. Do you have any specific error messages which you are receiving when attempting to apply the updates?
If you have not done so already I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine the exact error you are experiencing.

Hello sharbare57!
I definitely want to help your husband fall in love with his device! As rcschnoor mentioned, you can definitely purchase a new phone at full retail any time here: http://bit.ly/nD0WuY Though I'm sure we can get to the bottom of your husbands concerns with his current device prior to making another purchase.
What model phone does he have? What features is he struggling with. I look forward to helping!
Thanks!

HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

Confused....

As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account. It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me. I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod. I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up. thanks for asking.

Can my husband use my iTunes on my computer with his iPad?

Can my husband use my iTunes on my computer with his new (not setup yet) iPad, get the digital downloaded movies (that come with DVDs and had to download them to iTunes) but NOT have to use MY apple ID and password? We want him to have his own apple ID, password, credit card info, account, etc. but share the same iTunes....is this possible if so, how do we set it up? Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect ipad, select what you want, sync.
On the ipad, go ot settings, sign out of your account and into his.

Husband logged into iCloud on my computer and now my stuff is being synced with his.

husband logged into iCloud on my computer and now my stuff is being synced with his.

Figure what out?
If it is not connected to wi-fi or it is off, then you cannot play a sound or locate it.
There is nothing more you can do other than look for it.

My husband just got a new iphone and my notes from my older iphone automatically synced with his phone which he doesn't want. How do I stop my notes from going to his phone

My husbands new iphone syncs with my old iphone. All my notes when to his phone. I don't want this to happen. How do I stop my notes from going to his phone. Thanks

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

HT1386 I just got an iphone for myself. My husband already has one. Can I sync my phone to the same computer and make it my own without messing with his stuff?

TS2634 my husbands ipad is froze with the message that he needs to back up to his icloud account. We have tried to switch off and it wont let us and have now got it re-charging. Any ideas?

My husbands ipad has froze with the message he needs to back up to his icloud account. He has tried switching off and on again to no avail as message is still there and is now trying to re-charge it. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT204053 my husband has his own apple ID account on his pc that is old and slow can he join my mac with his own ID

my husband has a pc which is old and slow he has his i tunes with his own apple ID account on it. We have just purchased a MAC which me and my children use for our i tunes and own account. Can my husband transfere his Itunes and own account to my mac

You could combine the content in one library on the Mac, but it could lead to a few problems, if you would take only one Apple ID (e.g. for App updates you would persistent have to sign/out, ...). So I would recommend to use different librarys unless you take one of your IDs for all future purchases. In this case it would make sense to combine everything in one library.
