Inability to get itunes onto ipod shuffle

PUrchased music from Itunes, put in a folder. when I open that folder the music is all there. When I open the "device" ______Ipod folder which is where the songs should be, it is empty!. I have tried clicking and dragging each song from the folder into the device" folder but they will not transfer.
My question is: how do I get those songs into my Ipod shuffle folder so the music plays on the Ipod.
I am frustrated beyond words.!!!!!!!
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iSync has nothing at all to do with synchronizing media files: it is a Mac OS X-only product intended to synchronize contact, calendaring and task data to the Address Book and iCal with mobile handsets, Palm organizers and smartphones.

Can't get songs from my iTunes onto iPod shuffle.

Having problems getting itunes onto ipod, but they took my $$

i recently bought my daughter a 3rd generation nano ipod for her 12th birthday. The first night she had it she used her itunes gift card and successfully downloaded 13 songs. The next night she proceeded to do the same thing, this time 15 songs. The money came off the card, but the music didn't go on the ipod. She did everything exactly as she had the previous night. I attempted to contact itunes, they stated it would automatically download the missing songs when the connection was made. HA HA...still don't have them...any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is the music on the computer in iTunes?

Trying to get cd onto ipod touch but snching options are greyed out - I've opted to manually manage.

I'm trying to get CD onto ipod touch. copied it into ITunes library but when I get to synching 'selected playlists etc' all options are greyed out. If I try and clink sync in bottom right hand corner it gives me warning msg that everything already on ipod will be deleted and I don't want that. any ideas?

Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on your iPod Touch and make sure that restrictions for app installations are turned off.

Cant get my my ipod shuffle to load on to my imac computer

i cant seem to get my daughters ipod shuffle to be reconized to my imac computer. im not sure if its because the thing is dead. i alos didnt get a disc with the ipod i bought it off ebay about a year ago.im kinda stumped on this. please help. thanks!

You don't need any disc, and I don't think it came with one. You just need iTunes.
This document shows the four shuffle types. Which one do you have?

Depending on shuffle model, you may need a later version of iTunes. Is your Mac's OS 10.5.8 (Leopard), as shown in your profile info?
If it's 2nd gen, you need to use the cable that came with it (it has a mini-dock at the shuffle end), or a compatible third-party replacement. The cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle fits, but does not work, because the connector is different.
When you connect it, does the light on the shuffle do anything? If it comes ON, describe what it does.

I'm a newb-how do you get songs onto ipod nano?

i have iTunes, but i don't know how to get songs off iTunes, onto iPod, help!

Firstly, you must put some songs into your iTunes, e.g. rip the song from the CD. Once the song appear on the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and you need to register your iPod with the iTunes, then make a choice whether you would like to do a sync manually or auto.
By the way, seems that you are using window 98, I am not too sure whether it manages to support the iPod Nano, you need minimum XP or 2000

Ipod shuffle volumes goes down get screen locked, ipod shuffle volumes goes down get screen locked

ipod shuffle(6th) volumes goes down get screen locked, ipod shuffle volumes goes down get screen locked.
Don`t find screenlock controls neither.
Thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Problems, with Itunes and windows 7 loading content onto ipod shuffle

My system is running windows7 64 bit and I have downloaded the 64 bit Itunes, I am trying to load a new playlist onto a ipod shuffle 2 gig. When I connect to itunes it makes me restore the ipod settings and then when this is complete, itunes will only load a few songs at a time and if I try to load more that ten song Itunes just stops responding. I took the shuffle into an Apple store today and they tell me that it OK so must be my system. Can anyone help please.

Is that ASUS rather than ISUS?
If so, I think I've found info on the motherboard ... if so it doesn't have the P55 or P55M chipsets that can be cranky on Windows 7 systems with iPod/iPda/iPhone connections.
Still, we'd better make sure your BIOS and chipset drivers for the board are up to date. Head to the following page at ASUSTek and use the Navigation Wizard to autodetect your motherboard version. Check to see if there are any BIOS updates, chipset driver updates or other driver updates available for it (say, integrated audio, display adaptors, raid controllers, etc):

If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that improve your syncing performance?

How to get songs from itunes to ipod shuffle

I just seem to be having problems finding anything I download in itunes on my ipod shuffle. I am not techo savy at all!

If your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, here's how to use the automatic syncing approach, which is often more convenient than the manual method. You probably need to set up (or update) the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the shuffle in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync your shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your entire iTunes music library fits on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library (and skip to next paragraph). Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, create a selection of songs to sync to the shuffle. For example, if you want to keep it simple, you can create a new regular playlist in iTunes (call it "iPod Songs"). Put all songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist (including those recent downloads). On the Music tab, find and checkmark that one playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, the selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its existing content. Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library, related to the Music tab settings, sync automatically the next time you connect the shuffle, or when you click the Sync button. So, if you have a playlist with your "iPod songs," just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes syncs the same changes to the shuffle at the next opportunity.

Getting music onto ipod from two different itunes libraries

I have 2 different computers with different music on each. I have downloaded itunes onto both. I have downloaded music from one computer onto ipod. When plugging ipod into second computer it says that I have to delete content of ipod to allow me to sync with the second itunes library.
Is there a way around this?
I have 'authorized' both computers to my itunes account.

Thanks very much!
My issue is that I have stupidly dropped my first laptop and broken the screen so it is unusable.
The music currently on my ipod is from this first laptop so I dont really want to wipe it in order to put music on from the second laptop (and hence now my only itunes store).
Is there a way to take the music currently on my ipod off somehow and store it somewhere, eg on my new computer, so that I dont lose it when I 'wipe it to sync with my new itunes store'?
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the help

Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod Shuffle

Still having difficulty getting my head around how this iTunes stuff works. I logged into iTunes and redeemed a $15 gift card by entering the code on the back. I saw the $15 balance added to my account. I proceeded to buy two songs, but now cannot get them onto the iPod Shuffle device. I'm using a new Windows 8 PC and the iPod does not appear as a device within in iTunes. So I remove the Shuffle from the USB port and take it to the older Windows 7 PC, plug it in, and now it shows up in iTunes on that machine. However, when the two new songs I purchased don't show up in the Library there so when I try to Sync with the Shuffle, no new songs come over.
On the Windows 8 PC, I see the two new songs along with three earlier purchased songs in the Library. However, only the three earlier songs display the "Download from iCloud" icon next to them. I'm guessing this means that the two new purchased songs only reside locally on the Windows 8 PC (where the purchase was initiated) and therefore cannot yet be seen from the Windows 7 PC. If this is the case, how do I get the two new songs into iCloud so that I can transfer them to the Shuffle from the Windows 7 PC? Or better yet, is there a way to get iTunes to see the Shuffle through Windows 8 so I can just transfer it from there?
This is all far too confusing than it needs to be. For a company that touts its "It Just Works" slogan, this experience is extremely disappointing.

After some period of time, I eventually was able to see the newly purchased songs in the Library from the Windows 7 PC (not sure if there is typically such a delay). I then finally figured out that I needed to click the "Download from iCloud" icons to manually initiate the download of the two new songs to the iTunes repository on that PC. At this point, I found that re-running Sync finally completed the transfer of the songs to the iPod Shuffle.
Still curious about why the device isn't detected on the Windows 8 PC, though. But apparently it's a common issue as I get a lot of hits on this when I Google it.
