I would like to add music from my Ipod shuffle to my new computer but my old computer is broken and cannot access it anymore

I would like to sync my ipod shuffle to my new laptop, however I do not have access to my old computer so I do not have access to the old itunes library. My ipod is charged music on it and I have it plugged into the usb cord which is plugged into my computer's usb port. I downloaded the latest version of itunes but do I have to register first? can anyone help me?

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything. See here for more details.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes. When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop. How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

My ipod shuffle is brand new and will not connect to itunes

my ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes and it is brand new and i have used other ipods on this computer.

When you take this one back, be sure to have your USB docking cable checked, to make sure it is not the thing that is defective.
Also, make sure you have USB cable plug completely inserted into the headphones jack. The fit is sometimes tighter than expected, especially when the shuffle is new. This is apparently enough of an" issue" that Apple has a tech support doc about it

IPod shuffle driver and new iPod

2 questions.
Question 1-I have a software update that keeps "unexpectedly quitting" when I try to download it. The iPod driver is version 3.1.
I use iTunes 6.0.5.and cannot update it any more, as I am on Mac OS 10.2.8.
Any suggestions?
Question 2- My son won an iPod Shuffle! This is great but I do not know if it will work with my machine, especially if it is new and is second generation. (we haven't gotten it yet.) Will an iPod shuffle 1st or second generation work with my system, and any tips.
Thanks!

1st Gen shuffle works in 10.2.8 and iTunes 6.0.5, 2nd Gen requires iTunes 7.x...

Having problems charging my ipod shuffle on my new laptop. Any suggestions?

Having challenges getting my Ipod shuffle to charge on my new laptop???
When I plug it into the USB the lights blinks orange and then goes blank?

USB ports are notoriously iffy, especially those on keyboards. Try a port right on the CPU. If you've already done that, this may be a good investment.

Old iPod shuffle library to new PC? iPod not in iTunes

Dear Forum members. My old PC died. The new PC sees the iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation on startup and it is in the "Computer" window. When iTunes starts up I get the error message "The iPod 'ts's iPod' is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and synch with this iTunes library?" I want to keep the music on the shuffle if possible, but when I cick "Cancel" the iPod does not show up in iTunes and it's dropped from the "Computer" window. I can't follow Apple's instructions for transfering the music from the old computer to the new computer using the iPod as a disk since the old computer is fried. How can I get my new PC to see the library in my shuffle? Can I rescue the music on the shuffle and transfer it to my PC? I can't find an e-mail or phone number for customer support for Apple. Does such a thing exist?? Thanks for any and all input. Tom

I am in the same exact situation! PLEASE someone help!

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?

Just got iPod shuffle for a new family member, but it won't work

I got an iPod (nano) for christmas this year, and that one installed fine. Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we got her an iPod (shuffle). Since we all share a computer, and iTunes is already hooked up to this one, we figured it would work. When she plugged it into the USB port, well nothing happened. I've been going through everything since I got home about an hour ago. I can't find anything about installing a second iPod to iTunes. Anybody feel like helping?

Who did you get it in the mail from? Apple, Verizon, or someone else? What model iPhone? Some models need to be activated by Verizon. There's a number you can call to activate it; check your Verizon documentation.

Trying to reinstall my own ipod shuffle on my new computer???

does anyone know of a way to import the music from the ipod into itunes?
Jessica

Hello Jessica. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can either manually transfer your music to iTunes:

Or you can use free third-party services like, for example, try YamiPod. See if this post that contains a list of these kind of services helps you:

How can I delete individual songs off of my ipod shuffle with this new itunes?

We used to be able to delete individual songs off of the ipod shuffle and now that itunes changed we can't figure out how to do that.

Hello ArmyWife8610,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. I found an article with some steps to delete photo albums off of an iPhone. The way you delete the photos will depend on whether they were taken with the iPhone (on the Camera Roll) or if you synced the albums:
To delete photos and videos from your device
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
or
Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

Hy there,
I've solved the same problem and in order for you to do soo you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.
