IPC vs. iPod Shuffle, can see music files on my iPod?

I have downloaded iTunes onto my pc, but when I attempt to open my ipod shuffle, I either get rerouted to hte music library on my computer OR the only viewable file is "autorun". I checked my ipod and all the music is on there???

The NTFS format (windows) has only read support for OS X.
How did s/he copy the music on the external drive? Was the music on his/her pc? If yes the hierarchy may be different for the pc version of iTunes library, or is it that he can't find the files even from the finder?
And Red Dwarf adds:
Just to add to hyphen's reply, FAT32 has a maximum size of 32GB. The user cannot make the partition larger than 32GB should they decide to go down that route.
Another alternative is a utility called TransMac. When installed on a PC, it will allow the PC to recognise a Mac OS formatted drive and read the files within. No need then to worry about all that FAT32 and NTFS malarky stuff. It weighs in at $64 dollars though for a 1-3 user licence:

So hopefully, with Kappy's help, too, you will be able to figure it out.
Good luck.

60gb iPod does not see music files on my external HD

I'm going nuts trying to figure out why my iBook does not see the music files on my external HD.
I have a 250gb external hard drive (that I put together with an enclosure and HD I bought from Tiger Direct). I have the hard drive hooked up to my G3 iBook via Fire Wire. The HD comes up on the desktop, but none of the files are seen. Now, when I take the same HD and hook it up to my Windows PC, all my music is there.
I really don't want to have my iPod hooked up to my PC. My G3 is too small to hold all the music. I need to have the external HD to handle all the music for my iPod.
How do I accomplish this on my G3?
Thanks!

HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem, 'voltage' ....
My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
Regards Rob

All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.

When your in Nike plus for listening to music whuffle music can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? Williams

When in Nike plus mode to work out and listen to musi, can you shuffle a particular playlist or does it shuffle your entire music collection on your iPod? All my other iPods do this and don't want to buy a new one if the 7th generation does the same?

To be more specific - create a playlist that has only your Christmas music on it, then create a Smart playlist that has everything you want from your playlist plus one more rule, where the playist is not your Christmas playlist. Play randomly from your new smart playlist and you will be good to go.
I have a playlist with some Christian music that I don't want to have on my normal playlist - at first, I tried to have two playlists (one with the Christian stuff and one with everything else), but this ended up being easier.

IPod shuffle does not play files 100 MB

Could anyone help me out with the following issue please:
After uploading a large mp3 file (>100MB) onto my iPod shuffle (2nd generation, 1GB) - uploading does not give any error messages - the song just does not play when I disconnect my iPod and hit the play button. It automatically continues to the next file in my playlist which is smaller than 100 MB. I reconnected the iPod to my computer and iTunes, and the file is still in the iPod playlist and can be played in iTunes without any problems.
If I upload a file with a size just smaller than 100 MB (I tried 95 MB) I do not experience the problem mentioned above, it will just play the file normally.
Is this a limitation of the iPod shuffle or is something wrong with my iPod shuffle?
Thanks for your help!
Erwin

It's probably no consolation, but I routinely play audiobooks >100MB on my 2nd Gen shuffle.

IPOD Shuffle - manually transerrring Music from Various Libraries

I have a 1st or 2nd generation IPOD Shuffle and it is "identified" (or set to be synced) with one particular computer. When I try to manually transfer some songs to my shuffle from a different computer in my house (each computer is one of the 5 allowed on my Itunes Account), it says something to the effect of "this is not the computer set up to sync with your IPOD. Do you want to sync your IPOD with this Library" to which I respond "No" because I just want to manually transfer some songs from this Library. However, once I answer no, the IPOD is not recognized in Itunes and I can't transfer music to my shuffle (in other IPODS I own, like the touch, it lets me manage things manually like this). Any ideas please! (for what it's worth, one computer is a PC and one is a MAc, but I think that's irrelevant to this issue)

The iPod shuffle can't contain music from multiple iTunes libraries at once. If there is a Transfer Purchases button on that dialog box, press it and then sync the iPod with that computer's library.

HT1329 I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) to the new iTunes (which is currently blank) set up in my new computer?

I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) into the new iTunes (which is currenelty blank) set up in my new computer. Thanks for your help.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer's hard drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: You can also re-download previous song purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

Getting music files on your iPod back on to your computer's hard drive.

Anybody know how to take music files on your iPod and put them back on your computer's hard drive? I need to do this because:
1.I've deleted the songs that I've put on my iPod from my computer.
2. Sometimes people want songs from my iPod on their computer.
I already tried dragging them into a folder in my documents and iTunes, and copy and pasting them. However, none of these methods worked. Can anybody help?

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

Jim (also Geoff and Hal)-
Still haven't solved this. Here's another try at a screenshot, showing just below this text for me, of my Library interface showing the C drive listed in the left panel and not showing the C drive contents. Only, as you said is intended, what is already in Lightroom.
I thought if I was not in "Catalog" I had been able, in the past, to select from anything in my C crive simply by opening that folder in the panel.
When I click import it is usually - from memory - to start the import of the already selected items. For a time that's what was happening from the above screen if I selected Import. It would apparently start re-importing the selected items and without presenting the usual familiar dialog asking about file naming, etc. Now, however, clicking Import bring up this:
Never saw this black horizontal dialog box before this situation arose. I was able to import but not as usual and I would like to get back the square (moreso at least) "white" dialog box. No clue what's going on or how to get bact to familiar ground. Ideas?

My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
resetpassword
Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.
