IPod shuffle wont sync songs
My shuffle won't sync all the songs from a playlist that I created. But it will sync it from the main music list.
Why???
I never had this problem before.
The first explanation that comes to mind is that there is something different about the songs that won't sync. They might be in a format that the iPod does not support, or videos, or illegally copied DRM'd tunes, or wonky in some way.
The fact that you can successfully sync other, random, tunes suggests to me that the 'Pod and iTunes are working properly, but there is something about specific songs that is not.

Ipod shuffle wont transfer songs
my sister has an ipod shuffle and has purchased all of her music on my macbook. well she just got her own computer (windows) and we are having issues getting her songs onto the windows computer. all the songs from the mac are on the ipod and when i connect it to the windows it asks to transfer purchases or erase and sync. i remember when i was transferring her purchases from my account on my mac to her own account that i had to select transfer purchases to get them into the library and then sync up with the library. so i select transfer purchases and it wont do anything the songs are there but i cant do anything with them. so i go up to file and select transfer purchases from that menu and it will only transfer 81 out of the 131 on the ipod. i have tried a number of different things and cant seem to figure it out. if anyone has any advice i would appreciate it. i have an appointment at the ipod bar at my local apple store but im not sure if they will be able to help me or not.

Are ALL 131 purchased songs? Reason I ask is that ONLY purchased songs are

Ipod shuffle wont add songs, repeatedly asked to reformat
so i had my ipod shuffle working no problem. i was using itunes 9 with windows vista. recently over break, i rebuilt my computer, including installing windows 7 ultimate onto another hard drive. i have my comptuer booting in windows 7, but also have my initial hard drive that was windows vista as my d drive. i still have itunes on there, but it wouldnt work through my d drive, so i installed the newest version onto my new c drive. i went to go sync it, erasing everything like told. well suddenly, when adding songs, it would allow only 19 songs onto my shuffle, then stop syncing. no matter what other song, it just would say its updating then stop. so i reformatted it again, and went to add it again. now it added only three songs. i error check the ipod, considering everytime i put my ipod into the usb cord, a notice comes up saying it needs to be check. it says everythings fine, yet it still comes up wityh these notices that it needs to be checked, or reformatted. now, i cant even add anymore songs, not even one. when i go to hit play when just trying to listen to music, the color sequence comes up: orange green orange green orange green. please help, i dont like the third or fourth generations at all, only the second, and i really dont want to spend anymore money then i already have.

Good Morning,
I added some new mixtapes to my itunes library and when I plugged in my ipod to my mac to add them to it, they wouldnt add. I just got these bloody dotted circles and the songs appear greyed out when looking at them on itunes. My manually manage music box was checked and sync this ipod over wifi was not checked. I uncheck the manually manage music box and all the songs on my ipod are now the blood frigging circle.
So I decided to reset the ipod. I did. and I added the songs again, and now same problem. Only around 30 songs out of my 5000 are synced, the rest have the grey ring of neutrality. Any help resolving this would be extraordinary.Dotted circles next to songs, won't...: Apple Support Communities

I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?
I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

IPod Shuffle not syncing music
iTunes says that the iPod Shuffle is synced. I have selected a song to put on the iPod but I can not find the command to 'sync.' I have tried selecting a song and dragging it to the iPod but when I disconnect the iPod Shuffle and pulg in the earphones, I get a message to use iTune to sync. What is the command or procedure to sync the music to the iPod so it will play?
You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing. This document describles those methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window. However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill). If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.
FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual, from this support web page for the shuffle

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.
I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How can I get my iPod to also sync songs in my computer's Media Player?
How can I get my iPod to also sync songs I already have in my computer's Media Player? Thanks in advance for your help.

Dell Windows XPIf the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd. -

Does it let you access apps and music, or is it completely frozen?
You may need to bring it in to the genuis bar to get it checked out if you can. -

My IPOD SHUFFLE wont turn on , cant find it on my devices , it doesnt charge PLEASE HELP! i love my ipod shuffle so much!
How long have you left it to charge? It could take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to show any signs of life, and sometimes a hard reset of the iPod is still required to get it to boot up. Here are instructions for rebooting the iPod Shuffle.
