Itune Syncing with ipod shuffle 512k - problems
I have a shuffle (first gen) -when i try to delete from it or add a song to it it gives me the message about syncing which is fine. However it takes about 5 minutes for it to update or delete even one song - this is driving me mad - anyone have any ideas as to how i can stop this? Many thanks
I understand from other Mac /iPod forums that the Shuffle and some earlier gen iPods LOSE the ability to sync podcasts AFTER upgrading to iTunes 7.2 and later. Most seem able to sync OK after reverting back and installing iTunes v7.1.1. I have a 512mb Shuffle, and it won't sync my podcasts, but syncs music ok. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY. I hope shuffle & ipod users contact Apple about this major snafu. What good is an ipod that won't let you listen to podcasts? It's not clear if Audiobooks are also eliminated from syncing.. Anybody ?

How itunes syncs with ipod?
I have preaching in itunes that I want to sync with my ipod. It does the sync but everything is backwards. Meaning, in itunes, 1 sermon has 6 chapters and it starts at 1 and goes to 6 in the correct order. When I sync with my ipod, it syncs backwards, starting with chapter 6, then 5, then 4, etc.
How do I sync from itunes to my ipod so that it looks identical to what I see in itunes?Hey there,
Under the +Get Info+ Info tab, are there track numbers associated with these? If there aren't, you could number them appropriately and that could fix your problem.
To do this just right click the sermon track and right->click +Get Info+ and then head over to the Info tab and assign a track number accordingly. If they still sync backwards, try reversing the order. Hope this helps.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not. -

Problems with iPod Shuffle: nobody sees it after format
I have a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle, and it worked alright for a month.
However, I noticed an empty 0 bytes mp3 file I could not delete with either Windows or iTunes, and decided to format the device. Being foolish enough to do so, I formatted it via Windows to FAT, and then it synchronized with iTunes library OK (I did not reset or restore it with iTunes) But after I copied some music (about 600Mb) there and disconnected it from my PC, it wouldn't work.
The green light near the on/off button is on, but the light on the other side is not glowing.
I tried to connect it to my PC again, but neither iTunes (version 7.0.2, however I doubt it matters) nor Windows XP sees it. I downloaded the iPod Reset Utility, but it doesnt see the iPod either.
I don't know what to do to bring it to life again.I have similar problems. I formatted mine under FAT32 with Windows' disk management mmc. Then i restored it with ipod shuffle's restore utility. after that I plugged it back in, itunes recognized a new ipod, prompted me for a new name with an option for "autofill".
I first unchecked autofill, and tried to manually drag files over to my shuffle, but it fails to complete the sync process. then I tried changing its options under itune's Settings panel for my shuffle, it fails to sync too.
so then i reformatted it in FAT32, restored it with the utility program. i opened itunes, typed in a new ipod name and CHECKED autofill. this time it completes the autofill on its first recognition phase, i could even listen to the song after i disconnected it from my PC. but when i reconnect it again, itunes can't sync with my ipod just as the previous try.
I also tried enabling Disc Mode, but unfortunately my itunes is unable to sync with ipod, so the option was never enabled...

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?
",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium. -
EEEgads, I have used ITUNES for my Ipod Shuffle for years and now it is a nightmare with 11.0, I can't find my Ipod when I connect to Itunes, it is a new Win 7 PC. It used to show up on left side and I would slide podcasts right over to it for years, I have installed 3x with removing old install. I also can hear a constant throbbing sound in spkrs. when Itunes turned on, pls advise.
Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

How to sync movies to as audio with iPod shuffle
how do you sync movies from itune as audio to iPod shuffle, any idea?
You can't sync movies with iPod shuffle because the obvious lack of display. You may be able to get only the audio by using software like AoA Audio Extractor. Here's a guide: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-extract-audio-from-movies-and-v ideo-files-easily/. Afterwards you may add the audio file by going to iTunes, then pressing Files, add files, then choose the file you want and it will be added to your music library.

Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4 and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones. What do i do? Should i uninstall new update? and how?
I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy.

I am trying to sync my ipod shuffle to the itunes on my computer. When I try to sync I go to the drop down file tab. PULL up "devices" But the extended options of SYNC, RESTORE, Transfer and Backup won't allow me to click on them. How do I activate?
Those menu bar commands are disabled when you do not have a device (your shuffle) selected in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, your shuffle should be listed under DEVICES. Click on it there to select it. Now, those commands under the File menu should be accessible.
However, once you have the shuffle selected, many of those "device-related" commands in the menu bar are also on the iTunes window. For example, there is a Sync button at the low-right corner of the window, which does the same thing as the command in the menu bar. -
