Number of times you can sync to a new library?

My work computer was stolen this week for the second time and I'm wary of syncing my ishuffle to my home computer again because I'm sure the last time it warned me that you could only change the library it was associated to a specific number of times.
Since I know I've changed it at least 3 times, I'm concerned I won't have enough left to convert to my home computer temporarily until a new work one is delivered and then connect it to the new work one (my home computer doesn't have enough room to store any music on it, so I can't use it as a permament dock for all my music), this restricts the number of times I could swap it over.
So does anyone know the exact number of times you can switch between libraries?
And what happens after that - does your ishuffle stop working completely?
Also - if I connect it to my home computer to charge it temporarily, will this erase any songs in it (my home computer has been authorised to play the music I've purchased but there are other songs I've ripped from my CDs)?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

There is NO limit.

NOTHING.

In Settings UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" (don't forget to click "apply"). The NEXT time you connect the shuffle just to charge it. iTunes will NOT be involved (unless, of course, it's already running...).
Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Why is there a limit on the number of times you can attempt to join Family Share?

    I attempted to join Family Share yesterday but it did not seem to work on either my phone or iPad, which I updated to iOS8.  I tried to do it twice, both times unsuccessfully, when I attempted to do it a third time I was locked out of joining Family Share using my Apple ID for a year!  Why is there a restriction?

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Is there a limit to number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account?

    Is there a limit (set by itunes or elsewhere) to the number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account/PC/Mac? Using USB hubs or other sync/charge devices?

    iTunes can only sync one device at a time.
    There is no limit to the number of devices you can sync consecutively with the same library.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five accounts.
    Up to 10 computers and iOS devices can be authorised for automatic downloads of an Apple IDs available purchases (some items may only be downloaded once).
    Up to five computers can be authorised to each Apple ID at any one time.

  • IPod stolen can I get it to be flagged with its serial number next time it's synced?, iPod stolen can I get it to be flagged with its serial number next time it's synced?

    iPod was stolen, is it possible to get it flagged via Serial number next time it's synced to load songs by the thief?
    Many thanks, it's my son's, was my son's, and I dunno what to do

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    - iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    No you need to have turned on FIndMyiP{od
    The SN will only help identify the iPod as your if it is recovered.

  • Last time you can change he drive region code - could I try to reset this?

    Hello everybody this is my dvd driver into my iMac G5
    Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845
    Revision: DBN9
    Serial Number:
    Detachable Drive: No
    Protocol: ATAPI
    Unit Number: 0
    Socket Type: Internal
    And this is the message that I need to avoid.
    This is the last time you can change he drive region code
    I'm a music student and I have several instructions DVD in region 1 and 2 but I live in South America and here it's 4.
    Have any way to reset this counter to 0 and have 5 more changes or put it the driver in region free mode?
    Thanks in advance
    Gus

    Hi Gustavo,
    As someone who has travelled between regions a lot, I feel your pain.
    Your only options with the UJ-845 are to get an external DVD drive, based on a drive mechanism that can be made region free, or remove the internal drive and replace it with a Pioneer K05 or K06. Pioneer drives can be made region free, and are compatible with MacOS X.
    If you have one of the original G5 iMacs, without an iSight, the upgrade is very easy, and you should still keep any remaining warranty. Instructions are available at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg517inchOpticalDrive.pdf ( or http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg520inchOpticalDrive.pdf )
    If you have one with an iSight, it is very difficult and you should get a professional to do it - Have a look at http://www.kodawarisan.com/imacg5_isight/imacg501i.html for how it comes apart.

  • What is the size and number of documents we can upload to a document library at one time

    HI
    what is the size and number of documents we can upload to a document library at one time.
    like we have scenario , we developed a custom solution to scan and upload documents to sharepoint sites doc library.
    here we face issues when user try to upload 100 documents with the size of each doc 2-3 MB, at one time.
    adil

    Hi Adil,
    The maximum number and size of documents to upload in a document library is determined by a setting in Central administration. You can go to Central administration -> Application Management -> Manage Web Applications -> Select the Web Application
    -> Click on General Settings in the ribbon. Scroll down and you will see "Maximum Upload Size" section. The maximum value that can be set is 2047 MB.

  • Increase the amount of times you can "Step backward" alt+cntrl+z?

    I find myself saving numerous iterations of my files, because the defualt settings only let step backwards a few times. Is there a way to greatly increase the amount of times you can step backward? I though perhaps the history window would let me double back on many of my actions, but even that did not go far back enough.

    I'm not fully sure I follow you in this logic yet...  I apologize if I'm being dense.
    Saving your work occasionally is always a good idea, REGARDLESS of the number of history states.  Even if you keep only 10 history states you'll lose just as much work if you haven't saved anything since the last several hundred steps and elephant droppings unexpectedly shut down your PC.
    The important thing I'd like to note is that my choice of the number of history states, from what I have observed, does not seem to change the stability of Photoshop in any way.
    If you find choosing a larger number of states does destabilize Photoshop on your system, perhaps you have RAM problems?  Or maybe configuration issues?  What do you have your RAM usage limit set to?
    Your example about brush strokes is actually a good one to make my point that a deeper history can be a Good Thing.  For example, if I touch up 75 spots (hot pixels in an astroimage, for example) with separate applications of the Spot Healing Brush, then I want to compare before and after images but I forgot to make a layer copy way back when, I can copy the image, go back 75 steps in the History, and paste the result over the original from an old history state to blink a before/after comparison.
    The thing that's not been mentioned here is Efficiency.  I have purposely populated my workstation with a lot of high reliability RAM (16 GB ECC).  You might find Photoshop's efficiency going down if your system doesn't have enough RAM to be able to easily manage a deep history...  Efficiency matters too, and hammering the scratch disk with a lot of I/O can not only slow things down for you but can also sometimes expose latent instability in a system.

  • How many times do you get a new iPhone because of manufacturing  defects, before you can ask for an newer model?

    You don't.  Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
    And you aren't getting a new iPhone.  You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
    If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

  • Which is the maximum time you can have in a video?

    which is the maximum time you can have in a video?

    Hello There,
    Let me start off by stating that I'm no professional nor do I have the extensive knowledge to tell you exactly what wrong. What I know is from plain research I did when I was trying to decide wether to upgrade my macbook 6,1 (late 2009) model to 4GB or 8GB. Which by the way, what is your MacBook ID? 4,1 or 5,1  or  6,1
    What I found is that Apple says that my Macbook 6,1 can only go up to 4GB of RAM but it can actually go up to 8GB. From the explanation they gave I understood that Apple, states what that particular machine can be upgraded to at the current time that model is manufactured.
    I learned a lot mainly from different forums on the internet and the comments of people.
    Try this web site macsales.com and see what they suggest you upgrade yours to.
    The web site also helps you find you exact MacBook model to be able to upgrade accordingly. Heck you may also get a tech on a chat line and he can tell you what's wrong with your current RAM.
    But again find out what is your MacBook model ID. See the link below:

  • Server Administrator has Limited the Number of Items You Can Open Simultaneously

    Over the weekend, we moved all of our room mailboxes over to Exchange. For users who have lots of room calendars open in their Outlook clients, they are getting the error message "Cannot Open the free/busy information. You Server Administrator has Limited
    the Number of Items You Can Open Simultaneously" after the migration from Exchange 2010.
    Restarting the Outlook client temporary fixes the problem, but the problem comes back after they access the calendars again.
    The users impacted deal with a lot of room scheduling, so they have 30+ room calendars open in their Outlook clients.
    I have tried setting up a throttling policy with unlimited RCA connections, but that didn't help.
    I have seen with Exchange 2010 there were some registry keys people were setting on the server that pretty much makes everybody have unlimited connections, but that isn't ideal if's only affecting a few people.

    Hi,
    Since this issue only occurs to a few users, I recommend you disable all the third-party applications on Windows, especially for the desktop search apps. Meanwhile, use Outlook safe mode to disable all the add-ins and check if the issue persists.
    If the issue persists, you need to reset the value of Maximum Allowed Sessions Per User. Besides, we can't set it for only some specified users.
    Here is a thread for your reference.
    Event 9646, MSExchangeIS - Mapi session exceeded the maximum (Note: Though it is Exchange 2010, it also applies to Exchange 2013 about this issue)

  • # of times you can share

    Is there a way to find out how many ipods you have shared your music with, i believe you are only allowed to share with 5 ?

    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can put music purchased from the Apple Store on, but you can only authorize five computers from one Music Store account. To view how many computers you've authorized, follow the instructions in this article.

  • How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    ~ means your Home directory. Using the command above takes you to the Home directory on the boot drive.  Your backup files are now on another drive in a directory that used to be your Home but is now a subfolder of Users so you have to specify that drive after the /Volumes, then the user name, then the rest to go there
    I use OSX 10.4.11 and on it the libraries are still visible.  There's two at least.  One general one at the top level of the boot drive and another for each user (the one with the ~).  I think they made at least one of them invisible with newer OS versions.
