Itunes 7.5 and ipod shuffle problem

I installed the Itunes 7.5 and then attached the new ipod shuffle. The itunes brought up the ipod shuffle but only showed the agreement screen. When I typed in that I accepted the software agreement it would not go to any other screen. I can import music to the shuffle but you cannot see it in itunes; you only see the agreement screen for the shuffle. By the way, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software twice.
What is wrong with this software?

To fix this, do the following:
Close iTunes, click on start and go to control pannel.
(Make sure it is set to Classic View) Double click on displays.
Click on the settings tab and change your screen resolution size to 1024 by whatever and apply that.
Close out of this, open iTunes and you should have the OK button.

ITunes 7.1 and iPod dock problems

Apparently there are cases of iTunes 7.1 doing some widespread and different things, not all entirely related. In many cases the problems can be fixed if you disconnect your iPod dock, if you have one. I had my Shuffle dock (and iPod) plugged in and iTunes just wouldn't start. I was working wirelessly tonight and just thought I would try again and it opened really fast. Then I found several threads here about this sort of thing. So if you are having problems with this upgrade as I have try unplugging your iPod first then launch iTunes.

You have to restore back (or uninstall/resinstall) to a prior version of iTunes. 7.0.2 works fine.

ITunes 7.7 and iPod Shuffle - What's up with the Podcasts Playlist?

I think that lots of the problems that people are having are a result of whatever changed in iTunes 7.7. After updating to the newest version of iTunes, my Shuffle wouldn't play and would only flash green-orange-orange (indicating that there was nothing on the Shuffle.) I noticed a new playlist called Podcasts, so I moved my podcasts there and the Shuffle played them fine, but I couldn't access any music. It seems that only the Podcast playlist is active.
In troubleshooting, I accidentally deleted the Podcast playlist and this meant I could switch between podcasts and regular music again. However, I lost the ability to manually sort my podcasts. I've had this problem before and resolved it by rebuilding the iTunes library. This time this didn't help - I futzed around for hours trying to get this essential feature (manual sort) working again. I deleted and re-installed iTunes, re-built the library and library.xml files multiple times, reset the Shuffle countless times (both from within iTunes and with the stand-alone utility) and swung the dead chicken three times over my head.
Nothing worked until I moved my music files to my desktop and deleted the iTunes folder from my music folder. I then re-built the library from the folder on the desktop (this caused the music files to be copied to the iTunes folder, rather than just creating the iTunes library) and manually re-subscribed to my podcasts. Once I did this, I could again manually sort my Podcasts into whatever order I wanted.
An interesting thing I noticed.... no matter what I re-installed or how many times I reset the Shuffle, the Podcast playlist never appeared again. Anyone know where to find any documentation on this Podcasts playlist and what it is supposed to do?

I wondered about this playlist too when I first saw it, didn't see the need for it until I discovered my ipod would no longer play my podcasts. So far haven't tried music but adding them to this playlist means I can now listen to them.
i hate the fact that when you start itunes it simply tells you there is a new version and if you don't update it keeps bugging you without any way to see what the update is for! Where are the release notes? Other than turning off auto update there's no way to avoid this annoyance. I wish apple would simply tell us what has changed so we know if we must upgrade or if it's simply a handy feature update. in the case of 7.7 I wouldn't have updated if I read the forums first and from now on, auto update is off and I'll simply check on my own schedule for updates and if one is found will read the forums as these are the source of info since apple gives nothing.
I would think that Apple would have gotten about 15 people with all different ipods (wouldn't be hard to get them) and simply get each one to update to the latest version of itunes without supervision or info and see if anyone reports issues. Surely one of them would have said "Hey what's this new podcasts playlist thing?" and they would have thought, maybe a release notes would be needed here...

ITunes 8.1 and iPod Shuffle (2nd gen)

Since "upgrading" iTunes to 8.1, I find that my iPod shuffle is behaving erratically for the first time in its life. Now, this may simply be a coincidence--no way to know for certain that the 'pod isn't just suddenly, magically on its last legs--but it seems that the Shuffle now sometimes won't play a cut while I'm listening to it as a 'pod; and also won't play cuts when clicked in the iTunes window, while it's attached to the computer for updating. I've clicked on cuts up and down the list and nothing plays. Eject it, quit iTunes, plug the Shuffle back in, and maybe it will work. Reordering the cuts in the playlist also seems suddenly a little wonky. Long, spinning ball delays now and then when I drag cuts up the list to rearrange their order in the list. Pauses before the iPod synchronizes.
And, no, I do not sync it automatically, thank you.

I have just 'upgraded' to iTunes 8.1 from 7 and now my iPod Shuffle 2nd gen plays songs ONLY in a random order if I fill it using the 'Autofill' button (selecting random songs), REGARDLESS of the play mode switch position on the iPod itself. Have tried resetting it to factory settings but to no avail! If I fill it using the Autofill button but let it choose the songs in order (not random), it does play sequentially but some songs don't get played.
I used to be able to fill it randomly with Autofill and then sort the songs it had selected by clicking the Artist or Album etc column heading in the iPod window and this would be used as the order when playing back in sequential mode. This is now broken too! My shuffle has had very little use (perhaps 20 charges) and it is in fab condition.
What is going on, Apple?

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 8.1.1.10

This 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.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

See this post.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The music on your shuffle will be in the iTunes library it syncs with.

ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode...

After in stalling ITunes 7 on my Windows XP machine, I received the following error when I tried to sync my IPod. "ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this IPod before it can be used with ITunes." After completing the restore, it tells me to leave my IPod connected. Then it just comes back with the exact same message about recovery mode. Now I have an Ipod with no songs on it, and I am unable to sync it with ITunes any longer. Does anyone have any solutions to this bug. Everything was working perfectly prior to installing ITunes version 7.0.1.8.
IPod Windows XP

I had the exact same problem with my new 8 gb Nano. I tried putting the Nano into disk mode as was suggest in another discussion thread, but that did not make any difference. I finally discovered that my shutting the computer down and not logging onto the network after it rebooted, Itunes was able to recognize the Nano correctly, and proceeded with installing my music. If you are using a home or work network I would try not logging into it before you update your Ipod.
Good Luck!

I'm looking to buy and iPod shuffle, can I transfer the music from my iPad? I do not have a computer, only iPad 4 generation Thanks

iPods (except for iPod touch) require a computer (Mac or PC) running iTunes to sync content.

Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected. Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
 Cheers, Tom

Itunes has detected and iPod in recoverty mode.

Every time I connect my Nano (2nd gen 8gb), iTunes gives me the message
"iTunes has detected and iPod in recovery mode. You must restore thsi Ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
So I go through the restore process, and it resets and then, comes back into the same message. I am in an endless restore loop.
I have tried different usb ports, computers, reinstalled the software, reset the ipod. But iTunes keeps wanting to restore the iPod.

IPod shuffle problem with iTunes 7

In all previous versions of iTunes I had an icon of my iPod shuffle always visible on the left hand side of the screen underneath the library. This allowed me to drag and drop new content to this icon and remove old content. Then, when I plugged my shuffle into the USB port iTunes would update my shuffle with the new content and remove the old content. The icon of my suffle would stay displayed in iTunes even when my shuffle was not conneced to my computer.
Since installing iTunes 7. The shuffle icon only displays when my shuffle is synced to my Mac. When I unplug my shuffle the icon disappears. The other problem is that once I sync my ipod shuffle and start dragging content to the shuffle it automatically starts downloading and slows down the whole process of dragging a second or third piece of content to the shuffle.
I really liked having the ability to organize the content on my shuffle without having the shuffle synced. Any suggestions how I can get this to work in iTunes 7??
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Unfortunately, as you are aware, the Keep this iPod in the source list option does not exist in iTunes 7.
So the first thing you will probably want to do is let Apple know your feelings on the matter by submitting the feedback form on this support page .
Done that? Okay then, so now you'll probably want to make the best of the situation by figuring out if there's any kind of workaround to deal with the matter.
The best I can come up with is suggest that you create a playlist dedicated to your iPod shuffle which, for discussion's sake, we can call the iPod Shuffle Playlist.
Once you have created that playlist, when you connect your shuffle to your computer you can drag the Shuffle Playlist into your shuffle.
After disconnecting the shuffle you can get to work on modifying the Shuffle Playlist for your next update.
Note that you will have to manually clear the iPod shuffle's contents before putting a new Shuffle Playlist on it.

Shuffle Update after installing iTunes 5.x and iPod 1.1.2

I installed iTunes 5.0.1.4 and ran the iPod Updater 2005-09-23 and now my iTunes will not update the songs on my iPod Shuffle (it actually erased my songs). I have totally uninstalled iTunes and the Updater 2005-09-23 and re-installed them per another post on the forum. Prior to installing the new iTunes everything was working okay. I should also mention that the amber and green lights flash when I try to play anything - i.e. maybe the iTunes download was coincidental and not the problem. Any insight or help would be appreciated.

I have tried the following:
1) Uninstalled the iPod Updater.
2) Uninstalled iTunes 5.0.x
3) Rebooted
4) Deleted the C:\Program Files\iPod folder
5) Reinstalled iTunes 4.7.x from my IPS install CD
6) Reinstalled the iPod software from the CD
In the middle of the reinstall of the Windows iPod software it asks you to connect the IPS to see if it needs formated. It recognized my iPod and said that it did in fact need to be formated. I gave it the Ok and it came back telling me that it had trouble communicating with the IPS and to disconnect and reconnect. I did so, same story again.
It seems that iTunes 5 and the latest updater hosed the IPS hardware or firmware somehow. Needless to say, I'm not happy.
