Ipod shuffle will NOT keep music - only one CD downloaded - HELP!?

WELL, it lets me add songs (supposedly) to the ipod. ONE of the cd's I purchased actually copied to the ipod. It says it's syncing, and it adds the other cd's to the library. But every time i eject the ipod and listen to it - only that one cd is there. I put the ipod back in, and none of the songs )except that one first cd) show up on my ipod's list of songs - as if I never put them on there. This is frustrating!
When I click on a song in itunes, it doesn't ask for my id or password. When I drag it onto the ipod, under devices, it adds the song and syncs, but there is a small gray dot next to the song number on the ipod tunes list. Is this an indication of something that correlates to this problem?
Help, please?

The gray dot means that the track/song wasn't synced to the shuffle...

Ipod shuffle will not be recognised by computer or itunes- help?

I recieved an ipod shuffle as a second-hand gift from my friend, but had to buy a third-party (I think) cable, as the one it came with had previously been lost. My friend had used it on several of her computers, and managed to put music on it, and it worked fine. Now, when I plug it into my laptop, it charges (green light) but doesn't connect at all. The computer doesn't even recognise that there its anything attatched. Can you help me? I really don't want to have to give it back, from the trouble that getting the cable caused, but buying another iPod and keeping the shuffle would seem greedy.
P.S. Her OS is XP, but mine is Vista. could that be something to do with it?

I had a very similar issue with both of my daughters' ipod shuffles. I tried a few days ago to sync up their shuffles. My computer(XP) and my laptop(Vista) would not recognize any of them.
One shuffle was bought last Christmas 2008 and the other one was bought in March of this year. I tried everything I could think of to get them to be recognized by either device.
This morning I tried something that I did not think of to do earlier. I borrowed one of my nieces original USB/charger that came with her shuffle. I plugged it up and it synced up with no problems at all. Both of my daughters managed to get their original ones either lost or chewed up by a dog, so I had to buy some third-party ones for them which worked fine the last time I actually synced them up months ago. The brands are Dynex and Belken (both still work fine for me as far as charging/syncing up my ipod touch).
I don't know if something has changed(programming?) since the last time I synced up thier shuffles. I know their has been several newer versions of Itunes since then. I have the most up-to-date version installed on my PC and laptop now. The original Apple USB/charger always works with both of the shuffles. The third-party ones I have no longer work as far as syncing up with Itunes. They will still charge the shuffles though.

IPod Shuffle will not sync music - "files not available"

I originally thought at first I had a defective Shuffle. I returned the Shuffle and exchanged it for a new one and I am having the same problem. I also have already done a restore and software update to the new Shuffle and it did not solve the problem.
I connect the new Shuffle and iTunes goes thru the device setup just fine. When I go to sync music to the Shuffle, a box pops up stating that the songs could not be found in the library and cannot be transferred to the Shuffle. iTunes also shows all the files as missing when I select a song. Then a Windows pop up box states that the data on the hard drive where my music is stored has been deleted and cannot be restored. Needless to say the first time I read this I was freaking out because when I click on the drive it shows as totally empty. No files what so ever.
I then rebooted my computer and the drive and all of the files show up and everything is fine. iTunes works and can play files normally. I plug in the Shuffle and the same thing happens again.
I also have an Apple TV, 3 Nano's, and an iPod Touch that all work and sync just fine.

One song out of the album? Are you only syncing a single album to the iPod?
How is your iPod configured to sync? In other words, is it set to sync you entire library? Are you syncing specific playlists? Specific artists or albums? Are you auto-syncing or manually managing your iPod?

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector. It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer. I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

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...

Is your phone itself working OK?

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

My ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?, my ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?

my ipod shuffle will not charge fully, the light that comes on when i try to charge just flashes red, and the battery lasts for about 20 mins max and then advises battery is low and then dies!

That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged. Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush. Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case. If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

IPod touch will not sync music

I have my ipod touch 4g plugged in by usb to the computer.
It does detect it, but when I press Sync, it will update everything including transferring purchases.
It will transfer Music purchases, but not the other way around.
iTunes will not put music in its library into the ipod. (shows up in itunes library but not on ipod)
The notification bar thing at the top will say Syncing "ipod" and then determines which apps and music to sync.
BUT IT WILL NOT ADD THE NEW SONGS.
Another note is that the bar that shows the storage of the ipod: Audio 6.6 gb
i press sync --> Audio 7.5 gb --> (wait for a minute) --> somehow reverts back to Audio 6.6gb (see pics below)
The notification bar will revert back to an Apple logo and doesnt do anything.
I tried many things: reinstalling iTunes, hard reset of ipod, etc. (except restore, which i will not do since it wont sync music)
I have all the latest updates to all my stuff.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
PICTURES:
before sync
upon pressing sync
after syncing

I'll try Restore but I was doing some testing and this issue only affects PURCHASED MUSIC FROM ITUNES.
I deleted a song from both ipod and itunes and readded it through "Add a file to iTunes..." and it worked for music that I get from CDs and internet but NOT THE ONES ON ITUNES.
^ just a good note to put down and yes i'll try a restore when i have time.

Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...) and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

IPod shuffle will not connect to car audio

my 2015 Lexus audio system recognizes my iPod Nano's (6th &7th generation) without any problems via BT or USB; does the 4th gen iPod shuffle have the capability to play through my car's audio system with it's USB cable?

Probably not, because the iPod shuffle does not have the "standard" iPod dock connector. It uses the headphones jack as the connection point for data. Also, the shuffle is designed to be a more limited device, in terms of its interaction capabilities.
A better choice for connecting to a car audio system is an inexpensive USB flash drive. You may already have one. For example, this one barely sticks out of the USB port

and has many times the storage capacity of a shuffle. You can load it with your favorite songs and just leave it connected in the car, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod (which causes wear on the iPod).

Ipod touch will not sync. music is still in itunes, but ipod is now empty!

My iPod touch will not send e mail. Can someone help?

My iPod touch will not send e mail. I have tried for months now and have no success. It connects to many different wifi networks with no problem it even receives e mail but it will not let me respond or send newly composed e mail.
Can someone help me out?

Hey,
Who is providing the email account? Most email accounts provided by Internet Service Providers will only let you send emails when connected to the Internet over their connection.
You can try entering your email address on the iPhone Mail Setup Assistant, if its a common provider the settings will be displayed.
