Ipod shuffle 1st gen and ipos nano 1st gen

After installing new itunes update for the new ipod nano 2nd gen i am unable to get several songs that were in my library for years to transfer to the 1st gen ipods .. the message i get is that certain songs (and I get a list in itunes) are not authorized to be transfered to my ipod.
I have been unable to find help anywhere w/ this.
Did this happen to anyone else?

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

I bought an IPOD shuffle (1st gen.) at a pawn shop and it is still synced to previos owners itunes acct. and I can put songs on it b/c I don't have their log in info. So how do I clear it out so I can sync it with my itunes acct.?

OK..So I bought an older IPOD shuffle (1st generation) at a pawn shop. I never have had an itunes acct. So I set one up and plugged the IPOD into my laptop. Apparently the previous owners itunes acct. is still synced with it and I cant put any songs on it b/c I do not have their itunes acct. info (log-in). So my question is how do I clear their info( un-sync) out of this IPOD so I can then be able to put it on my acct. Its not letting me restore it to factory settings without their info either. HELP!

iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
Thank you,

None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

Request for a replacement USB cap for iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. Gifting the iPod my grandma for birthday.

Hi,
I have an iPod Shuffle 1st Generation 512Mb. I am planning to gift it to my grandma for her birthday but unfortunately, the I have lost the USB cap that covers the built in USB port on it. I have not had any luck finding it, and I was wondering if someone could kindly guide me to get a replacement please? Contact me @ [email protected] and if it helps, I live in India so even if I need to order it online/or from overseas, that shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

I'm confused... is your shuffle a white plastic thing that looks like a pack of gum, or an aluminum one with a clip.
The reason for the confusion is that you said:
"+I have only had the iPod for a little over 4 months+"
If it's that new, Apple will replace it under warranty...however if it's a 1st Gen shuffle that's just that new to you, then it may be that the switch on the back is full of crud. It can be cleaned by someone adept with simple tools and at at following directions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-Shuffle/Hold-Switch/98/1/

IPod Shuffle (1st Generation) NEW ERROR: recognize and charging problems

I'm tired. I'm quite tired.
I struggled for a month to resolve the 1418 error (My previous posts had thousand of views, until Apple removed them...).Finally Apple gave us the iPod Shuffle reset utility, which worked fine... My iPod Shuffle resurrected.
But now it's dead again, like many other users:
1)When I attach the iPod Shuffle to any PC, or to the wall charger, or to whatever, it's not recognized. Tried all
2)It still plays music
Apple, what's going on? I think you are swimming in the dark...

Here another one.
1st gen iPod Shuffle, stopped working after update to iTunes 7.0.x, which was basically forced to my system.
Every time I plugged my iPod in, it said: "Do you wanna update? Latest version? Get along? Do not think you can do without this update?".
I eventually agreed to upgrade my software, since it 'would update my iPod to the latest firmware'.
Well, it did not.
It killed my iPod Shuffle.
I see you have the same thing here.
So, what's the procedure to get a working one in exchange?
Since this is Apple's fault, I expect there to be a procedure for it?

Ipod shuffle 1st gen not recognized by pc

Okay, so I have a ipod shuffle 1st generation that seems to hae no songs in it and it is not recognized by my pc or it does but I can't access it. On itunes after I plug it in my pc it says "iTunes has detected a damaged iPod . You may need to restore this iPod so that it can be used with iTunes. You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod" and after restoring it it says "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred ( 1442)". Maybe is it because i took it off from the usb port without using the proper way. Is it possible to to make it work again?
It is running version 1.1.5 or ios 1.1.5 cuz idk and I have a windows 8 pc.

Hello Jane Benstock,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.

Will iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen work with 1st Gen USB Power Adapter?

Hi.
I have the iPod USB Power Adapter (M9837ZM/A) and was wondering if it will also work with the iPod shuffle 2nd Gen?
Mine only lists the original shuffle (naturally) and I just realized that Apple apparently re-designed the USB Power Adapter (MB051LL/A), which does list the 2nd Gen shuffle (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E82 45892&nplm=MB051LL/A).
Does anyone know if I can use my power adapter with my new 2nd Gen shuffle?
Thanks!

Will I be still pleasantly surprised when my iPod is fried?
So, what you're saying is, that whatever happens, it cannot do harm to the iPod?
If that's so, i'll give it a try.

Connecting iPod Shuffle 1st generation (Early 2005) to Windows Vista

Hi
I bought a early iPod Shuffle in 2005 and installed it on a Windows Xp Computer. The installation disk was for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The iPodWorks fine even now.
Want to install it on a Windows Vista Computer. Does not install properly. iPod not recognised. iPod never appears in the iTunes windows. I assume it needs a USB driver for Vista. Nothing on the Apple support website or so far as I can see in the discussion group for 1st generation iPod shuffles.
Regards

The 1st gen shuffle has REALLY excellent sound. It is better than 2nd gen shuffle, and other iPods, for sound. Because it has a separate docking connection (the USB plug), it is the only shuffle that can play music while it is charging. Plus, I like being able to hold it in my hand and control it (not clipped).
Because I liked it so much, a few years ago, I bought some broken ones being sold on eBay. Using these instructions
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle_1st_Generation
I took them apart and tried to assemble working ones by swapping parts. Fortunately, the 1st gen shuffle is small, but not tiny. Unfortunately, the most common failure point (by far) was USB plug component (including a very delicate ribbon cable that connects to logic board). I have plenty of "spare parts" now, except for that USB plug part. So I am VERY careful when connecting and disconnecting my remaining working 1st gen shuffle, and try to do it as infrequently as possible.

Help with iPod Shuffle - 1st generation - After restoring

Okay, i needed to restore my iPod shuffle (1st gen), as it was n't letting me put songs on. So when it restored, it started to autofill from the music library randomly, so all my songs were jumbled up. I didn't want this, so I tried to autofill it myself without the 'choose items randomly' box ticked, but it wouldn't synch. So, I restored it again, and tried again. As it was restoring, I noticed in a box that came up, I think were you type in the name of your iPod, there was a box that said something along the lines of 'Autofill from music library automatically when restored', so i unticked it. When it was restored again, and now completely empty, it wouldn't let me autofill manually again. So, just to get songs on my iPod, i have to have them on random, which I do NOT want.
Does anybody know what to do? I've tried that reset utlity thing, but that just comes up with the same thing.
Any help will be welcome
Thankyou!!!

On the contents page at the bottom, there is a box that reads "Choose Items Randomly". Uncheck it. I just noticed it while trying to sync my own iPod.

Brand new and corrupted ipod shuffle 4th gen.

i have a new ipod shuffle 4th gen which isnt working with itunes. This is the replacement for my original one which we had the same problem with and apple support deemed it faulty. But surely we wouldnt be that unlucky to get two in a row that are faulty? There must be another explanation.
We are using a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (and the software is up to date with no available updates). The connection with the headphone jack->USB cable is flush and 'clicks' into place. We have the latest version of itunes and we have even updated it again today after recieving the replacement ipod. When we plug the ipod into the USB the light initially goes green and then flashes orange (is trying to sync as far as i can tell) and itunes then comes up with a message that the ipod appears corrupted and to restore the ipod.
So we restore the ipod, still no good. Manually reset the ipod, still no good. Tried both USB ports, no change. The ipod is seen by the computer in system profiler under USB so I dont think its an issue with the cable. When I plug in the headphones I get the usual message to load music to the ipod shuffle via itunes. Our old ipod (nano 4th gen) works fine with itunes and we have no trouble syncing.
I wonder if it is that we are temporarily living in europe at the moment. Macbook Pro (and ipod nano) bought in Australia, and ipod shuffle bought locally (germany) via apple online store as the local stores didnt have them in stock but online was in stock. We didnt think this would be an issue but maybe it is the problem (I would have thought they would all be generic and only the packaging/instructions etc would change depending on sale location and language, especially considering the voiceover telling me to load music via itunes is an american voice speaking english, not speaking german). Also as we are new in germany we dont know anyone to test it out with on another computer. If we did find someone who could test it with (hoping maybe a work collegue might be able to help), would they also have to be running a Mac or would a PC running windows cause more issues?
Any suggestions on what to try before we go back to apple customer support once again.

HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore. is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

How do you delete an id on ipod shuffle 1st generation?

I'm selling my iPod shuffle 1st generation and I can't get my name off of my iPod when I connect it to my laptop.

Select it in the iTunes sidebar, click on its name, and type a new name. If you're using iTunes 11, choose to show the sidebar from the View menu.

Ipod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great and is perfect for my needs

I just wanted to post that my iPod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great. No problems and I love it. I use it mainly for listening to podcasts. As soon as I turn it on it begins on the podcast I last listened to --where I was in the middle of the podcast. I stick the Shuffle in my pocket and all I ever have to do is use the headphone controls to pause, move forward or backward in the podcast, skip to the next one, or go back to the beginning, etc. I also love to be able to use the volume control on the headset without having to fumble around for my Shuffle in my pocket where it is safely tucked and won't get knocked off or damaged. I listen to my Shuffle for a few hours a day when doing yard work, household tasks and driving back and forth to work.
All the features are working just the way they are supposed to on my Shuffle. There are a bunch of negative posts about the Shuffle and I just wanted to say that mine works great and I enjoy it very much. I have had the Shuffle for 4 weeks and have not had any problems whatsoever. I own several other models of iPods (first version Mini, Video 60gb, Nano 1 & 2, Shuffle 1,2,& 3, Touch) But the handsfree/visual free ability of this 3rd gen Shuffle is great and very useful for me.
Just my two cents.

Linda,
No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.
