IPod Shuffle - using it on two computers wipes the contents

I have an old iPod shuffle first generation with most of my music on my laptop. I actually have very little music on, and I have some different music on my main iMac. I want to plug the iPod into big iMac to charge it, but when I do that it wipes all the music off that I loaded from the laptop. How can I stop this happening?
What I really want to be able to do is to plug the iPod into either computer and manually load tunes into the iPod or delete them from the iPod. This must be so basic but I can't work out what to do!
Can anyone help? I have intel computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, if that is of any relevance!

The iPod shuffle can't contain content from more than one computer at once.

One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
Can I multi task with CC?
I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

Hi Jimmy Crim,
Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
Thanks

Ipod Shuffle suddenly emptied after two to three days not use..

I had a problem which is my ipod shuffle suddenly emptied after two to three days i left in my room. What's the problem actually can be turn be like this since it's the first time i through it..please send me an email regarding this at [email protected] Thank You!

Okay, and thanks for re-posting your photos. I have to agree that it definitely does look like crimping and would expect any continuity checks run on it to show an open or two. That would certainly explain your symptoms, but it's not the answer for all such cases, i.e., BLD, being reported here.
I've now purchased two 'broken' Shuffle's on eBay, both coming off of M$ systems and reporting the blinkies. The first was Alive on Arrival and is still living happily on a daughter's eMac. The second was totally dead, with no reaction at all to anything I did; it's now disassembled, with no evidence of your crimping on the ribbon cable, while I mull over buying an LI battery and getting someone to solder it in for me.
In your place I'd certainly be taking my evidence to Apple and pointing out that, at the end of the day, it was just a matter of pure luck that it managed to last as long with this defect as it did. I think you should be able to convince them to give you some sort of satisfaction on this, but appreciate your desire not to go through the bother of it.

Using iPhone with two computers

Home PC - MacBook Pro
Work PC - Windows
both running iTunes 7.7
My music is on my home Mac and I manually create playlists, add music etc.
With my 3G Nano, I can connect and listen to songs on my iPod from my work PC. I can't seem to do this with my iPhone - my PC sees the iPhone but all of the music is greyed out and cannot be selected.
Is it a limitation of the iPhone that I cannot use it with two computers in this way, or is it a configuration issue?
I would prefer not to have to buy a set of external speakers just to use my iPhone to play music at work.
thanks
Shane

Actually, there are several articles on the web about the fact that you CAN
synch the itunes with two computers. Music, Video, and Ringtones can be done from one computer, and Mail, Contacts, etc. can be done from a second computer.
Just do a Yahoo search on "synching iPhone with two computers."
If you are trying to do music from two computers, you are right, that will not work. There is a program, which I think the Yahoo search above will also uncover that allows you to do a "swap," where you can have the songs from one computer show up on the iPhone, and when you swap, the songs from the other computer show up. I am not sure if this utility survived the upgrage to version 2.0 of the softweare.
cheers,

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers?

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers? I have two MBP; I will refer to one as computer A and to the other as computer B. I would like to be able to plug in my external hard drive, boot up iTunes, and if there were any changes made to the library previous to its last time accessed on this compluter, they show up on that computer, regardless of being imported on the other.
A hypothetical example: I import three albums called 1, 2, and 3 on computer A over a week or so. I take the external hard drive and plug it into computer B. The entire library which was visible on A, is visible on B, including albums 1, 2, and 3.
Is this possible? If so, what files need to be copied onto the external? I'm trying some different combinations, trial and error basically. Hopefully someone knows and can answer before I mess up my library. I also want to do this to free up space on my computer. All importing will be done from disc.

iTunes/Preferences/Advanced : point your iTunes to the new location of the Library.
Set "Share on local network" in the Sharing tab, and you or everyone on the local network can play your music.
You make a backup first of the Library.
Move the follwing to the new location:
/Users/your username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
have fun.

Can I use Lightroom on two computers?

Can I use the same Lightroom software on both of my computers?

The license stipulates that you can install Lightroom on two computers under the condition that only one installation is being used at any given time. Lightroom does not have an activation feature, so there is no way to police your activity. The serial number is also cross-platform, meaning that you can install it on a Windows machine and a Mac.

Can i listen to the track name and artist in my iphone like ipod shuffle using voiceover kit?

Hello People,
My question is, can i listen to artist and track name on my iphone 4s like Ipod shuffle using voiceover kit?
Thank You.

I have an Alpine radio with an iPod dock adapter to let me control my iPod through my head unit. This had worked great with my Nano, but I heard that these adapters didn't work well with the iPhones. Mostly due to interference / feedback from the phone being heard through the speakers.
However, I was suprised at the compatiblity mine had with the iPhone, especially being that it is a couple years old (the apadpter). When you plug the iPhone in it says that the device may not be compatible with the iPhone and that you should put the phone in "airplane mode." I just kept my nano plugged in as I thought that I didn't want the equivalent of turning my phone OFF when driving, so one day I tapped NO. Well, to my suprise, I did not hear any feedback or interference through my stereo. And, In fact, While I was driving, I received a call and the music stopped and the phone rang!
So, your mileage may vary on whichever brand adapter you use, but I have found that it works just fine for me. Hope this helps.

I bought my ipod shuffle used from a friend and it isn't recognized in my iTunes. Does anyone know how to reset the shuffle or what I can do to resolve this issue?

I bought my ipod shuffle used from a friend and it isn't recognized in iTunes. I wondered if anyone knew how to reset it to factory settings and for me to be able to use it as my own.

... Does anyone know if it would be backed up somewhere else,
If you do not know if you backed up your computer, how could someone else know?

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

How to manually drag and drop songs from music library to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

In iTunes 10, it's simple to just drag and drop a few songs manually from the library/playlist to the Shuffle. In iTunes 11, Shuffle has its own window. How do you manually drag and drop songs from music library/playlist to iPod Shuffle using iTunes 11?

If you manually manage music... on iTunes 11, go to the top left corner and there will be a pull down bar. Click "show menu bar". From there, go to view, then show sidebar. Magically, it looks like the previous versions of iTunes. Took me 3 hours of trial and error and searching through forums to figure out. Tried calling Apple to have them walk me through it and they said they wouldn't help me since I don't have Apple Care. Whatever. Hope this helps!!

Using FCPX on two computers

I have an iMac 27" that's a few years old running 10.6.8-- just before Thunderbolt came out unfortunately-- and also a MacBookPro (which does have Thunderbolt). While I do most of my editing on the iMac, I might need to use the MBP to tweak things for clients while I'm away from the studio. I am mostly a stills shooter, and I'm still learning the vagaries of video editing. Just took a nice little course in FCP10, had previously been using FCX (X as in "Express") and Premier. I just purchased FCP10 toady.
I am hoping that as with FCX, I will be able to use FCP10 on both computers without buying two versions. That was allowable as long as it was not being used on two computers at the same time. Can someone please confirm that this is the case?
Also, I am planning on using a 128GB USB thumb drive to carry the work between the two computers for a project I am currently working on. It's USB 2.0, and I know that's not optimal as far as speed is concerned, but since all of the final videos I'll be creating for the project are under four minutes, I'm hoping that won't be a horrible problem, just a mildly frustrating one.
At the class I took, we grabbed a disk image off of the network drive to use on the local computer, then put it back at the end of the class. Will something like that work with the USB dongle between the iMac and MBP? Many thanks for all info. -JB

You can use Final Cut Pro X on two computers, all you have to do is on the second computer, login to the Mac App store with the account you purchased the first one.
I'm on 10.6.8 and I recently moved from FCEx to FCPX (I prefer these abbreviations), and had to learn everything all over again, FCPX is nothing at all like any previous version of FCP, so you will have a learning curve, but having said that, FCPX is far better than FCEx.
Moving the folders from the flash drive to the computer each time would work. The general consensus is to have your Event and Project folders on a fast external drive, just so you can move it to any computer you wish, no need to copy folders back and forth from internal and external drives, FCPX recognizes those folders on any drive automatically, just be sure to back up the external drive. BTW, you must create Event and Project folders and move them from one drive to another within FCPX (which you might already know).
The USB 2.0 flash drive is excrutiatingly slow. I'd buy a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter for the MacBook Pro, then use an external Firewire drive to move between the two computers.

Two computers share the same wi-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must be read.

Please help, Thank you for this online support option

Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.
