I have tried this on both my desktop and laptop, and both seem to do the same thing.

As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices.  Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop).  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  See if there's any improvement,
If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power).  An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes.  Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes.  Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

    If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • I downloaded some apps for my ipho in the apptrackr site, the apps are shown in my itunes library but when i try to sync those apps at first it works and then it says an error occur (0xE8008001). How can I sync them without the error?

    If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
    If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
    You must go through the iTunes app store.

  • Hi- I am trying to download music to my ipod from my computer. I have an itunes account and the music is on my computer but won't download to the ipod. It is telling me I need to download software but for some reason the software won't download.

    Hi- I am trying to download music from my computer to my ipod. I have an itunes account and the music is on the computer but it won't go to ipod, it keeps telling me I need to download an upgrade but the upgrade does not complete itself and after like 2 hours displays an error sign. How do I fix this so I can get the music to my ipod. Both ipod and computer(toshiba, windows 7) are brand new. Help!! I am not technologically smart!

    I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes. 
    All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.  Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them.

  • I downloaded some music but there's two copies of each song showing up on the phone but not on itunes or anywhere else.

    I recently downloaded songs off of itunes on my computer. usually i don't do this because i think its a pain in the *** to connect my iphone to the computer but since i had recently updated it with icloud and the new ios software i figured i could do it just this once. well anyways i downloaded some songs on the PC i have and everything was going well up until i was about to connect the iphone to sync the songs. for some reason i remembered about icloud and i looked up the songs on my phone and sure enough there they were i clicked on them to see if they would play but they wouldn't so i just connected the phone to the computer after everything had synced i found that there was now two copies of the each song i had just bought.  at first none of the songs would play but then i connected my phone to wifi and i think this is when the icloud came to into work because now one song will play and the other wont. it annoys me because its not showing whether i double bought the songs or if its some kind of stupid glitch. i dont think i double bought them though because theres no double copies showing up on itunes. i just want to know how to fix this because its annoying to have two copies of the song when one doesnt even play. could anyone please help?

    Apple does not respond to these forums but users do.  You can sync both devices to the same computer using the same itunes account.  After initial setup you can pick and choose what apps you want on your devices.  I have an iphone, ipod touch and ipad that I sync to the same computer and account.  I have different apps, music, photos, etc on each.  The key is one computer, one itunes account and you will be fine.

  • So, I bought some songs on Itunes on my Iphone. One song fully downloaded and now shows up in my music, but the other one will consistently appear to finish downloading, then not show up in my Music at all. I've tried several times. Help!!!

    I've been trying to download this song for two days. ITunes says that it downloaded, and that I purchased it, but it will NOT appear in my music. The weird thing is that I bought two songs simultaneously and the first one successfully appeared and I can listen to it. Totally fine. However, the second one will finish downloading, then disappear. I bought the same song two more times off of different albums just to make sure there wasn't a problem there. Nope. Everything with that song title will not show up. Rhapsody in Blue, by the way. I also bought it on my iPod touch just to make sure there, and it successfully downloaded and I can listen to it on my iPod without a problem. Again, it just won't go on my IPHONE. It's frustrating. Any advice or help?!

  • My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

    My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
    You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

    Right click on your iPad's name in the iTunes app on your computer and choose to transfer purchases. That should transfer anything that you have bought with the App Store app on the iPad to the iTunes app on your computer.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
