Ipod Shuffle/Ipod Nano

I have an Ipod shuffle and so did my son but he jut got a new Nano. Before, I used the drag and drop technique to select what he had on his Shuffle and the same for me.
I listen to books from Audible.com and they were in the library. When I synced his new Nano, it loaded all of the books on the Nano. I do not want him to have them nor does he need/want them. We also have the issue of music, he does not want all the music on the PC Synced to his Nano either.
The PC is set up as one user and software has been installed as one user. Please tell me how I can keep my books in my own library and segregate music for each of us.

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Windows accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?

    How do I shuffle a playlist during a workout on an ipod nano 7th generation?  The only shuffle option I see is for all songs, not a specific playlist.  I know that I can begin a workout using the now playing option.  This will allow me to shuffle a playlist in the begining of my workout, but if I want to change music I cannot get back into shuffle mode unless I select the shuffle all songs option. 

    This is from the Nike support page:
    <http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20976/p/3169,3171
    Shuffle Songs: Plays songs shuffled randomly from your music library. To shuffle a playlist rather than your entire music library, start the playlist in shuffle mode before setting up your Nike+ workout. Then, when setting up your workout preferences, select "now playing" in the Music menu.

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • IPod Shuffle seen as iPod Nano in iTunes 6 and won't load music

    I had iPod shuffle linked to one computer, then changed computers. Tried loading iPod software from installation disc and iTunes 6 then looking at iPod. Initially got message indicating that iPod was linked to another computer - did I want to change link to this computer? I clicked 'YES' and all was well...until I tried the iPod updater. Following that my iPod Shuffle was recognized as an iPod Nano and would not accept any music through iTunes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling software multiple times with no success. I am still able to use iPod with old computer, but those days are numbered... Need some suggestions to remedy this. Thank you.

    those symptoms can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. are the techniques from this document of any help with that?
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • IPod Nano - Shuffle plays same songs over and over

    I have several playlists on my iPod Nano with varying numbers of songs.  But it seems that every time I use my iPod, no matter which playlist I'm using, I get some songs over and over.  I'll hear the same couple songs multiple times in a day/week.   I turn it off when we aren't using it.  So it seems like it's resetting the shuffle every time I turn it on.  Is there some setting I need to change to make it shuffle the songs more?  I don't remember having this problem with my iPod Shuffle.   I'm considering making multiple playlists (like a several workout ones with different songs in each so I get more variety) but wondering if there's a simpler fix
    Thanks

    That is probably the Repeat setting.  It can be set to repeat ONE (repeats current song), ALL (repeats current list), or OFF (does not repeat).
    Which iPod nano model do you have?  Does it have a touch screen interface, or the (older) click wheel interface?

  • Can't the iPod nano 7th gen. VoiceOver function identify which language that is being used? My iPod Shuffle can.

    I am very satisfied with my iPod SHUFFLE (last version), especially with the VoiceOver function which is (quite) able to  identify correctly which language is being used in every song: For a Norwegian artist / a song in Norwegian, the artist and title is pronounced in Norwegian; for a French artist / a song in French, the artist and title is pronounced in French; for an English artist / a song in English, the artist and title is pronounced in English etc. A really impressive and useful function!
    I was very surprised and dissatisfied to find that my new iPod nano 7th generation does not seem to work this way: I am able to select the language to be used in VoiceOver, but then this language is used in everything that is pronounced. Most of my music is in English language, so this is what I have selected. But to hear Norwegian artists' names and Norwegian titles pronounced with an English-speaking voice is quite disturbing.
    I believe I have been through all possible settings in the nano and in iTunes to correct this, but I am unable to find a solution. I have also asked people at an Apple store, but they were unable to help. Can anybody help? Or is it really possible that this excellent function has been removed?
    (Could it be that the previous version of iTunes could fix the problem? I have installed the last one, v. 11.0.1.12.)

  • IPod nano 6th gen. shuffle problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I just bought a iPod nano 6th generation but I have a problem with the shuffle function. When I select a playlist and choose "shuffle" it shuffles ALL the songs i have on my iPod, not just the playlist I selected... I would like to shuffle just the songs in one playlist.
    How to solve this?
    Thanks!
    Nanneke

    you just have to enter the playlist. select a song, press on the center of the screen, change page(going on the right side) and then choose shuffle(pressing on the symbol!) that's the way for shuffling your playlist!

  • IPod nano 7G issues with shuffle function

    Dear all,
    I just bought a 7G iPod nano. Altogether it's great but I have a couple of issues I would like to comment with you:
    1. I sometimes use the "shake to shuffle" function, but when I go and turn it OFF, the shuffle function still remains (although not in the "shake" mode), and I must turn it off manually by tapping on the screen while a song is playing, and de-selecting it. Does this happen to you?
    2. When I pair the iPod nano 7G to my car through bluetooth, after listening to any album up until the end, it then suddenly pauses, then starts playing again but in a shuffle mode, without me having done or touched anything. So after the end of any album, it just turns on the shuffle mode automatically. My car stereo system is a 2012 Mercedes Benz Audio 20 system, which has both A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Has anyone experienced something similar?
    It's sounded like fun to listen to the iPod wirelessly in the car, but I must say that the bluetooth functionalities are so limited (play, stop, next track, last track) that it quicly becomes quite boring. I wish it had all the browsing controls like when you plug it in...Any comments?
    Thanks a lot in advance for you help with these issues,
    CCCP

    im having the same problem. I drive a 203 c class with audio 20 and for some reason the media interface wont sync with my ipod. The bluetooth works fine but when i try to plug it via the media interface cables, it only charges....

  • Ipod Nano is Stuck in Shuffle Mode in my Nissan Juke

    I plug my Ipod Nano into the glove box and I am able to use the control on my dash and steering wheel to control my Ipod. The only problem is, I can't go to whatever artist I want. The Ipod will only allow me to listen to the songs in shuffle mode. Anyone having the same issue or know anything about it?

    I have the same problem with my 6g when connecting to my Ford Fusion. It shuffles everything.
    I have:
    -- performed a "master reset" on Sync
    -- updated Sync software
    -- restored my new ipod through iTunes
    -- restored the settings on the ipod itself
    -- updated ipod software
    -- *disabled the "shuffle" options for Sync*
    -- *turned off the "Shake to Shuffle" option on my new ipod*
    -- indexed the music on my iPod (through iTunes) in this order: genre, artist, album, track
    ...and it still shuffles my music. I don't believe it's Sync because I had a 2nd generation iPod too. It works with Ford's Sync with no problems.
    So, this is the same issue with the 6 generation iPod nano with 2 different car companies and 2 different vehicle models:
    --Nissan Juke
    --Ford Fusion
    I think it's a bug that needs addressing.

  • 1st Gen Ipod Nano  - Shuffle Songs Issue

    Everyday I take my 1st gen ipod nano with me for a walk and just select shuffle songs. My walk takes about an hour, but my nano in shuffle mode seems to play alot of the same songs over and over everyday in shuffle mode. I have almost 800 songs on the nano. Is there someway of getting my nano to shuffle up the songs a little better so that I'm not hearing the same songs over and over?

    I am having the exact same issue with my iPod, 5th generation. I would like to know if there is a way to change the setup so it will shuffle it better.

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.
