Ipod Shuffle Itune Repair/Download

Hello,
I was stuck with my Ipod shuffle for a month. Each time I install itune I get this error message " We cannot uninstall your old version Itune, Please contact your Itune Support group ".
Any one knows who I have to ask about this problem or if anybody had this experience before?
Thanks

You need to try and get iTUnes AND quicktime uninstalled first then reinstall iTUnes from apple.com
Goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Now disable any antivirus and security programs and then goto apple.com to download and install iTUnes again

Ipod shuffle/itune error

Ok so, I haven't used my ipod in a while, so I figured that I'd have to install some updates. When I plugged my shuffle in, instead of itunes popping up, an error message came up saying "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes."
I tried to uninstall the itunes and reinstall it with the software disk, but itunes will not let me remove it for some reason. I tried reinstalling it anyways by putting the itunes software in, but that didn't do anything.
I went to the troubleshooting for ipod shuffle section of this website and i installed the recent updates for my ipod like it suggested. When I tried to update it, and a message came up saying "firmware update failure. disk write error." I tried restoring it, and the same message came up. In troubleshooting, it gave 100 different possible reasons why that error message can show up. I don't know what to do. My computer has automatic updates everyday, so i'm pretty sure it's not my computer being outdated or anything. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it my ipod or is it itunes? or both? someone please help.

2G ipod shuffle itunes problem

When itunes brings up the ipod shuffle page, and I try to click back to my library, itunes just closes. It works just fine on my windows computer, and I restored it and I still have that problem.

Jake,
I was having a problem with my shuffle and my PowerBook too. Let me tell you what I did and then I'll tell you what was wrong (as I'm sure you're anxious to know how I resolved it). I decided to plug in the 2gen shuffle and I went to the settings tab (top of the page) after I selected the shuffle. I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and clicked on "enable disk" (got a warning about having to eject from iTunes and Finder for future use) then I left my slider at 240 songs so I could preserve all of my space for the music. I clicked "apply" and that did the trick.
Now let me tell you the issue I had so you can see if you fit into any of these annoying little problems. I plugged in the iPod on the first use and named it. I unchecked the box for autofil and then clicked Ok. No problems until after I dropped some music into it. If I clicked on the "Music" label to view my library I would get a message that says my iPod could not be written to and the disk could not be found. Sometimes I would try to eject and I would be told that another app was using files on the shuffle and it couldn't be stopped (update service???). Did you notice that iTunes checks for updates every time you move from song to song or playlist to playlist. I closed iTunes and ejected my iPod from the Finder and then connected it again. It mounted and unmounted mostly normal but I still would get the "could not update" message, not once, but two - four times. I even tried a restore once and it failed because of something having to do with read / write or acces. The first sucessful restore and replacement of music yeilded my shuffle useless: files transferred and itunes could play the file, but the shuffle would not play in the earbuds. I restored a second time and it started working again. At any rate, I read a little and noticed some windows users finding a manipulation (formatting, autofil, disk use, etc...) so I thought about it and realized what they were doing compared to us. There's something wrong with the device's firmware or iTunes 7.0.2 that causes errors when you only use the shuffle for music. I put a check in the box to enable disk use and then realized that I could still keep all of my space for iTunes. Basically I just fool the shuffle and it works like a champ now.
Best of luck,
Dan

Hello there baku_k,
It sounds like your iPod shuffle just isn't being seen in iTunes no matter what you do on your PC running Windows 8. Without knowing the exact troubleshooting you have done, I would recommend that you look over the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you determine what may be happening, named:

How to disable itunes store when transferring files to ipod shuffle

Hi,
I just started using my ipod shuffle a few days ago, using itunes on mac OS 10.4. To try it out, I used a handful of podcasts downloaded from the itunes store.
My problem is that whenever I try to move a file from my computer to my ipod shuffle, itunes seems to want to open up the itunes store (as declared by itunes in the top oval window) instead of showing the list of files on my shuffle. However, I've already disabled the itunes store through parental controls. My internet at home is rather slow at the moment, and it's annoying to have to close the blank "store" window each time I load something onto my ipod shuffle. Is there a way to disable the itunes store, specifically when I'm moving files to my ipod shuffle (in addition to using the parental controls)?

Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

My ipod Shuffle Gen 2 is not recognised by itunes AND computer...!!

Hi my ipod shuffle 2nd gen is not being recognised by my computer. I have installed the new itunes and it does not recognise it either.
However it does a little flash thing with the lights when i ccnnect it, but then they turn off. I know that this means it needs restoring. But how can i restore it if the computer doesnt recognise it??
thanks!

I'm also having the same problem with my 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. iTunes on my Mac does not recognize it and will not sync with it. Occasionally, iTunes will recognize it but then when I try to sync it, iTunes then does not recognize it.
Interestingly, when I hook this Shuffle up to iTunes on my Windows machine, it does recognize it and will sync up.
What might be the problem here and how can it be corrected? If anyone has any thoughts/solutions, please let us know.
Thanks...

Itunes doesn't see my ipod shuffle and I want to reset it to factory default

I have a 1st gen ipod shuffle, iTunes does not see it but my computer does, I am running windows 7 and I just want to restore the shuffle to factory default

So, I found out how to fix this issue. In "My Computer" right click on the iPod and format it. I chose to format it using FAT and Default allocation size. After that, I opened iTunes and it recognized my iPod Shuffle. It said it wasn't formatted properly but gave me the option to restore it to factory defaults which fixed everything. Way to go Self. Thank you. You're Welcome

Hi Daisymae3,
The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
User Manual iPod shuffle

iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
on iPod shuffle.

HT1535 I want to load a playlist onto an iPod Shuffle that plays in a specific order. (The ipod is not on the shuffle mode but it keeps changing the desried order. I'm going crazy!

I've created a playlist in iTunes for someone in a specific order. I've bought them an iPod shuffle and have downloaded the playlist onto the iPod. Unfortunately, the iPod shuffle then reorders the paylist and it also plays in another order. The shuffle function is switched off, so I don't elieve it is anything to do with that!
It's driving me crazy! Please help!!!

Which shuffle model do you have? This document shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
Assuming it is the current 4th gen shuffle (or 3rd gen), if you want to play songs from a playlist on the shuffle, in playlist order, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. By default, the shuffle plays songs from the All Songs list. When you set the power switch to play-in-order, the All Songs list plays songs alphabetically.
This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on the shuffle.

If that playlist is selected, and the power switch is set to play-in-order, the shuffle plays the songs in playlist order.
