IPod shuffle from VW preloaded with music- how do I save that music??

HI - I got a free suffle from VW for test driving a GTI. It came with songs pre-loaded. When I plug it in iTunes wants to erase it as it says they are songs from another library. It gives me an erase option or cancel which ejects the iPod so I have no way to "talk" to it without erasing. The paper that came with it says "set the iPod to manual in order not to delete the preloaded songs". How do I do that? Can I save these songs before I load my own tunes on it?? I am not real iTunes literate . I have iTunes 7.1.1 on an iMac G5 running 10.4.9. I also have a Nano that is working fine. THANKS!!!!

How to add new songs to ipod shuffle from different computer with different itune library without change old songs on ipod?

Hello,
I am using ipod shuffle. Now it's having some songs.these songs was synchronised with my old desktop itune library. Now i changed to laptop and downloaded latest itune software. Now i need to add more songs to ipod without change old songs on ipod. How it's possible? Please help.

The way iTunes and iPods are designed is not compatible with what you want to do. The best approach would be to open iTunes on your old desktop, and make a backup of your iTunes library, from which you can copy across all the songs from your old library onto your new laptop - not just the ones that were synced to the shuffle. One place to start for instructions on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364
The other approach is to search online for a utility that will copy songs off an iPod without syncing it, add those songs to your new library, and then erase-and-sync the Shuffle. This way, you only get to save whatever was synced to the Shuffle at the last sync.

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

Hello Rod2174,

How can i sync my ipod shuffle from my itunes i own an itouch i want to sync in the same itunes but dont know how

hello to all i need help i dont know how to sync my new ipod shuffle.
i have an itouch 2nd gen and i want my ipod shuffle to sync the same itunes library songs to my ipod shuffle.
i read topics regarding on how to sync with multiple ipods in one library but dont understand.

thank you all!

All you really need to do is connect the Shuffle to iTunes and set it up to sync however you like. It will have no affect on your iPod Touch syncs.

iPods (except for iPod touch) require a computer (Mac or PC) running iTunes to sync content.

When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located.

When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located. After I disconnect and reboot itunes it is all there. I have tried 2 shuffles. Both make my entire liberary dissapear once I click sync.

I'm not sure if the original poster ever got this issue resolved or not, but I'm having the exact same problem. My iPod shuffle is a 1Gig 2nd Generation, and I have all of my music library on an external hard drive. Before connecting my shuffle, I can play all the songs through iTunes perfectly fine, as well as sync them all to my 160GB iPod classic. As soon as I connect my shuffle, iTunes can no longer find or play any of my music, or sync any of it to the shuffle. In fact, it seems to make the external drive disappear from the computer entirely. When I right click My Computer->Explore, the external drive is still there, but no files are shown on it. After disconnecting the shuffle and rebooting the computer, the external drive is back to normal, until the shuffle is connected again.
For what its worth, this is a new problem, only started happening in the last couple months. I've had the shuffle for 2+ years now, and I have been syncing music to it from the external USB hard drive for just as long with no issues. Occasionally, I can sync 1-10 songs to it at a time before the external drive and all the music disappears, but for the last couple of days, the external drive seems to disappear as soon as the shuffle is connected.
Thanks for any help, I only use the shuffle for the gym/bike riding/snowboarding and I know they're fairly cheap to replace now, but I don't want to pay for a newer generation if I'll still have the same issue.

IPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

iPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

After connecting it, the light should continue to flash (if you use the Manually manage music or Enable disk use setting), or it should become a solid (not flashing) color (if you use automatic syncing). The light going OFF may indicate that the shuffle is not able to charge. You are using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle (it has a mini-dock), correct?
That problem could be caused by the shuffle itself. Since a 2nd gen shuffle is at least five or six years old at this point, it may be the battery becoming worn out. It may also be a problem on the USB port. As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Is there any difference?

Just bought 4th Gen.iPod shuffle from Amazon. My computer (Windows 7) wont recognise device, neither does iTunes. Have reinstalled iTunes, and nothing seems to work, Anyone have any ideas.

Just bough 4th Generation iPod Shuffle from Amazon - comp;uter doesnt recognmise device, neither does iTunes. I have re-installed iTunes, re-started Computer but nothing seems to work. I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle and that is recognised by computer. Anyone have any suggestions - I am at my wits end.

There is a USB printer connected to the back port of the PC. The mouse and keyboard are both PS/2.
I did attempt to reinstall the USB root drivers. After uninstalling iTunes and all the other apple software packages included, I uninstalled everything USB in Device Manager, then rebooted the PC to let Windows reinstall it all.
Reinstalling the OS -might- fix the issue, but if that were the case, it's most likely just a software conflict that can easily be fixed if I can manage to narrow the specific conflicts down. I've already essentially disabled everything with MSCONFIG except for Apple stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go. I've attempted the 5 Rs and all that as well, none of it seems to do the trick. I also cleared the temp folder multiple times (once per each iTunes uninstall / reinstall following the support site directions of uninstalling all the extra apple software) as well as attempted restarts of the Apple services.
One oddity I would like to point out is that if I attempt to restart the iPod service through services.msc, it will not restart. It throws the error message of "the service failed to respond in a timely fashion" or whatever. I instead have to use the windows Task Manager to manually kill the iPod process in the processes list.
I just now removed the USB printer and plugged the shuffle into the same port, but I receive the same error message in iTunes about the iPod being corrupted and it needing a restore. If I push restore, the software gets stuck in an endless loop. There are no other USB devices attached to this computer, the motherboard drivers are fully up to date from nVidia's website, and other USB devices clearly function just fine (USB memory sticks, USB printer, etc). If I use the Diagnostics option under Help in iTunes, it will claim there is no iPod connected, and, again, the iPod still does not show up in Windows Explorer under My Computer as an attached device, nor does it show up in Disk Management as a mounted partition.

Hello, Blondet787.
JPEG photos are compatible with your device. As long as these images are in the same folder as your pictures, then they should sync. Below, I have included a couple articles that show you how to sync this data to your iPod.
