Shuffle Third Gen sync problem

So I plug my shuffle in to sync some new music to it, and when I drag the playlist to the ipod it states that it is syncing, but stays stuck on "copying 1 of ---." I have no idea what's wrong as this is the first problem I've had with it. Please help me out.

nevermind, i fixed it i guess. it's working now.

I can't find Buds that work for IPod shuffle third gen./What's wrong with what I have now?

I own an IPod shuffle third gen. However, the remote buds broke a little while back, and I've been trying to find a good pair online. In the most recent pair I bought, the volume control only works on my IPad 2, not my shuffle. Is this an iPod issue, Ora shoddy ebay earbud issue?

It looks like there is a CommunicationException while trying
to talk to the LDAP server. Please check the SocketPermission
entry in the jmqadmin.policy file to ensure network permission
to the LDAP server host/port is granted. If the jmqadmin.policy
file looks OK, I'd suggest to try a simple JNDI example which
talks to the LDAP server to see if communication to the LDAP
server is fine by using a similar java.security.policy file
as jmqadmin.policy (please see JMQ 1.1 QuickStart guide chapter

IPod Shuffle 3rd Gen - Volume problems

I have an iPod Shuffle 3rd gen.
This week it started to develop a problem that I am not able to turn the volume uo or down.
I tested with another earphone and a brand new earpod (that are working properly in an iPhone 4S).
I also tried to restore the iPod. And this have note hekped me.
What should I do to fix this volume issue?
Thanks

Hey paralelopipak,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the headphones have a volume problem only on this iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

IPod Shuffle 4G no Sync-Problem: Ejects USB device

Hello,
i got an iPod Shuffle (4. Gen) with some strange behavior.
I connect it to my laptop or pc (Windows 7) and then i try to sync music with iTunes.
It syncs about 30-150 songs and then i hear the "Eject-Sound" of usb devices
from Windows and i got an Error message from iTunes that "not all objects could
be transferred to the iPod. The iPod itself then is not listed in iTunes anymore.
If I then plug out the iPod and want to listen to the music which it should have been
transferred to the iPod it says: "Please use iTunes to sync music to this iPod"
Plugging it in again theres the windows dialog if i want to "check and repair this device"
Starting iTunes it says that all the space is free on the iPod.
Somethimes I hear the sound from windows for the eject usb media permanent
and cant copy anything to the ipod. I also tried "restore ipod" via iTunes several times
but without success, problems exists further.
I think, that perhaps the flash memory of the iPod is defective or something which
has to do with the transfer process.
I got another iPod (4. Gen) which works without any problems, with the same cable.
So it must be something wrong with this iPod.
The iPod is like 10 months old and in warranty.
Should i send it in to Apple? I think this is a hardware problem....
with kind regards

You've ruled out a bad cable, a bad USB port on computer, and a software problem on the computer, because your other shuffle works fine. And a Restore does not help. That pretty much says the cause is a hardware problem on the shuffle.
So, if it's under warranty, definitely have it checked by a tech before the year is up. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can do so at the store's Genius Bar. You can make a reservation at the store's web page (not required but it may save you waiting time)

IPod Shuffle 2nd generation syncing problem with iTunes 7.3

When I updated my iTunes to iTunes 7.3, I had problem syncing my songs with my iPod shuffle 2nd generation. The error read something like "Ipod shuffle attempt to copy to disk "iPod's name" failed. An error occurred (-54)". I reverted back to iTunes 7.2 and the problem does not seem to arise anymore.

Well seems to me the only way to solve my problem was
to revert back to iTunes 7.2. I tried iPod reset
utility. restoring to default, resetting, everything
I could think of when I used iTunes 7.3 but none of
them succeeded. When I reverted to iTunes 7.2, it
worked like a charm again. Of course we would all
like the latest version of iTunes on our computers
but this problem has made me stay with iTunes 7.2 for
the moment. And does anyone feel that iTunes 7.3 is
so laggy?
Regardless of earlier comments on 7.2 vs 7.3, I think you've got something else going on with your system, iTunes 7.3 isn't laggy on my meager 2001 Dual-USB iBook G3 500MHz with 640MB running 10.3.9.

IPod Shuffle ( 1st gen ) sync musics

I can't sync songs with my iPod shuffle. I tried to reset the settings but it don't solve anything except for formatting the whole ipod. When i opened it again with iTunes, I put an iPod's and uncheck the autofill of random songs. After updating, I tried to put new songs and it updated but it don't transfer the songs. When I do chose the autofill with random songs at new reset. It fills it with songs but when I tried to delete the songs in iPod. It don't disappear and it always remain in it and the only way to delete those is to reset again my iPod. By the way, I have the latest software for the iPod shuffle.

Okay. I managed to work with it and I solved it. Haha

Ipod nano 4th gen sync problems

Hello please help my ipod nano wont sync with my computer or itunes but charges tryed everything updating itunes trying different computers bought of kijji please help

First, make sure you are running the latest versions of your OS. You should be running the latest service pack for whatever version of windows you are running. Here are the basic system requirements as stated in the Apple store:
Mac Requirements
USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
iTunes 8 or later
Internet connection (broadband recommended; fees may apply)
iTunes Store account
PC Requirements
USB 2.0 port
Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3 or later)
iTunes 8 or later
Internet connection (broadband recommended; fees may apply)
iTunes Store account
Second, start the process with the iPod connected directly to the system, not through a USB hub. See if this changes things for you.
Also make sure you have gone through the basic troubleshooting as stated here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano/
If problems persist, it may be the installation of iTunes that is causing trouble. Uninstalling iTunes and re-installing could clear things up. Here is a link to instructions on removing iTunes:

Of course, start with the easy things first and work from there. Hope this gets you running smoothly.

2nd gen shuffle wouldn't sync - fixed it (for me)

With 2nd gen shuffle, changed computers, downloaded ITunes 9, created new playlists, got all ready... and shuffle won't sync. Would start syncing, then quit after trying a couple songs, then some kind of error - folder not found or something like that. Tried it over and over in different variations. Looked thru google and tried resetting ipod, uninstall/reinstalling itunes (couple times), uninstalled intunes 9 and used itunes 7 (which someone recommended), searched thru apple support and tried things - same problem. Noticed in Explorer that the Ipod wasn't being detected consistently - would show briefly, then disappear so figured there was some problem with the computer recognizing the device, even though IPOD was recognized in ITunes. Went to Apple discussions looking for "recognizing ipod" and found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369; which I had seen earlier, but blew it off as not relevant because ipod was recognized in ITunes.
For me, appears that I didn't have shuffle connected to a high-power USB port - just plugged it into first one I saw, which wasn't high-power; did change ports earlier, but didn't know I had high-power ones (or needed them) available in another part in the back of computer. Changed ports and it worked - synced up like it used to.
Hope this helps others - I spent 3 days researching internet, trying variety of different things and being PO'ed - and music-less.

I think it was just that itunes was running- but can't disable that. I ended up just taking about 30 mins to delete each song individually from the shuffle. Hopfully it will work for the kiddo we are giving it too. Thanks for your suggestion!

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
Apple iPod USB Device properties:
Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001

Error 1429: IPOD Shuffle 2nd Gen won't sync or restore after itune9 install

all,
After installing itunes version 9 I plugged my shuffle 2nd gen into the port but it froze when I tried to sync, the shuffle had previously been working fine with itunes 8. I disconnected and reconnected and itunes promted a restore. This could not be complete and an error 1429 message was returned.
After completting all the trouble shooting steps on the apple website the problem was still not fixed, and becasue I am using vista the iPod Shuffle reset utility wouldn't install.
I have been reading of similar problems, so anybody who has a solution or news from the ellusive apple tech support it would be great to hear from you.
regards
Rich

Thanks for the response. Yeah, all on that page and the linked pages. Very time consuming but it was working fine before loading itunes 9 so, it would be a waste just to bin the shuffle. Cheers

Have a 4th gen shuffle, I cannot "sync" it.

Have a 4th gen shuffle, I cannot "sync" it. When I installed Itunes it never gave me the option to "sync" it or recognize my Ipod. I have spent hours on this, I have un installed, re installed, rebooted computer, changed ports, you name it and nothing. Please HELP.
Thank you..

If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source. Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK.
So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle. It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board. If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
(If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

Ipod Shuffle - 2 Gen, 1 GB - not sync all songs and blank autoplay menu

Hi,
I have two issues with my ipod shuffle, 2 Gen, 1 GB.
When I attach it to my computer a blank autoplay menu pops up. Nothing can be selected and I just click cancel and it goes away but it comes up every time I connect. I've tried going into the properties of it in my computer and setting the default action to do nothing but it still comes up. I've also disabled disk use within the settings of it in iTunes but it still happens.
Second when I try to autofill from a playlist, it shows all the songs ready to be synced but after doing about 11, it stops and says it's completed when it clearly hasn't. If I press sync again it does a few more then same result. It just won't fill the ipod up. I've double checked there's room on there and I have set zero space for disk use so the entire 1 GB is used for music but it still won't do a complete fill in one go.
Anyone got any ideas? Using latest version of ipod software 1.0.4 and latest version of iTunes 10.1.0.54

My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen (latest firmware + iTunes) is
almost only playing purchased .m4p songs. Only very
few (1-2 out of 200) of .m4a are playing on the
shuffle.
The songs are getting transfered properly and when
the shuffle is connected I can play the
songs/.m4a-files stored on the shuffle through Real
Player (The folder structure is accessible through
the FileExplorer while the upload process is
running).
If I only upload not playable .m4a songs the shuffle
blinks "no music uploaded".
Looks like a firmware problem of the Shuffle since I
can't see any pattern which .m4a songs are played and
which not.
Can anyone share this experience? Any solution?
WHAT does iTunes' Get Info "Summary" say about the songs that don't play?

I have tried everything that is recommended by apple to get my ipod shuffle 4th gen to sync with itunes or even show up on my computer does anyone have suggestions?

Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred? Are you working with a Mac or a PC? Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.
