My iPod shuffle 4th gene. says it sync all my music but when I want to hear it, it doesn't play ...works on my iPod touch and iPad so what wrong with my iPod shuffle?

The songs worked on my iPod touch and iPad

Your iPod shuffle has only 2GB capacity, so unless your iTunes music library is small, it is probably NOT syncing "all" of your music.  It may not be syncing any songs...  If you use automatic syncing, you may need to set up the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
Connect the shuffle and select it in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Select Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the shuffle with songs.  Sync Music is checkmarked forautomatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Create your selection of songs below.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new regular playlist in iTunes.  Put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its current content.  Going forward, any library changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.  So, if there is a playlist with your shuffle's songs, you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes at the next opportunity.

  • New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import

    my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes

    I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.  Select it there.  The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right.  There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there.  Is that setting currently checked or not checked? 
    If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually.  It does not use automatic syncing to update content.  This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
    To add songs manually...  Show a song list in iTunes.  For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list.  Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar.  You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import."  Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
    To remove songs manually...  Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with more than one song selected.
    NOTE:  If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing.  Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings.  When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

    iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
    It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
    I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

  • I have an iPod Nano - 4th gen.  How do I get music from my iPod (which I didn't purchase on iTunes) to transfer into my iTunes?

    I have an iPod Nano - 4th gen.  How do I get music (which I didn't purchase on iTunes) from my iPod into my iTunes?

    If the iPod is the only place that you have the music (e.g. you don't have it on a backup drive) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back from it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    You can then add it to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library

  • I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

    Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
    Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

  • On my ipod touch i bought some music but when i go to download it on my pc it just comes up as downloaded and doesn't let me do anything with it

    On my ipod touch i bought some music but when i go to download it on my pc it just comes up as downloaded and doesn't let me do anything with it.As in it w'ont let me download it or anything like that.

    Make sure you have signed-in your iTunes and authorized the computer.
    Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEVICES tab and check the Box "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically then OK.
    As long as you don't sync your devices, iTunes will not wipe out music from your iPod.  Now connect your iPod and do the Purchase transfer only.

    I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

    Please give us more specific information -
    What make/model camcorder are you using?
    Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video?  Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
    Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder?  Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
    Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
    Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I sync all my music but a certain playlist?

    Is there any way i can make my itunes sync all my music to my ipod except a certain playlist? For example, i have about 30 or so Christmas songs that i'd rather not have come on randomly when i leave my ipod plugged in and on shuffle. I realize I can make it sync certain playlists but that would mean I would have to add all my other music into a playlist and sync from there. It seems like that would be a hassle to add each song one by one into a playlist. Any suggestions? Thanks-

    Create a smart playlist called iPod Music matching all the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Xmas (or Exclude or whatever you want to call the other playlist). Sync with the new playlist.

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
