Sync cord moves, iPod Shuffle Disconnects

Is anyone else having problems with syncing iPod shuffles?
Every time I move the Shuffle 4th Generation while it's syncing, iTunes thinks I disconnected the Shuffle.
Think it's a hardware problem with the cord or iPod Shuffle. Have synced an iPod Nano on the computer before. Checked both usb slots on computer.
Syncing works if the iPod absolutely doesn't move; don't really want to have to keep it still, though, considering I just bought the thing.
Thanks!

Since this is a recent purchase, make sure the USB cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack.  It should click into place.  The fit can be tighter than expected.
If that's not the problem, you should have it (or the USB cable) replaced under warranty.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar.

    Is the Shuffle configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  See this article for more details.

    If it's 2nd gen, do not get a USB cable that is for 3rd/4th gen, because the connector is different.
    iPods only "sync" to computers running iTunes. It may work to make song files (on the shuffle) available to play by the car audio system, but that depends on the specification of the car audio system, not the cable.  The car audio system would be using the shuffle like it was a USB flash drive (not syncing).  You'll need to look at the car audio system's documentation to see what devices are supported.

  • Ipod shuffle disconnects itself

    My Ipod shuffle which I got about a year ago will not work in my computer. Every time I put it in it makes a connection sound and then a disconnection sound. it does this over and over again but not at any regular rate just at random. Itunes tells me to restore the ipod but every time we try that it doesn't work and it comes up "unknown error 1429" or "unknown error 1415" which says that the ipod is corrupted. My other ipod works fine with the computer and it is a nano. the shuffle used to be synced to a different computer when we connected it itunes tried to reset and resync it and this all started.

    Hi-
    I'm having the same problem, although the ipod shuffle is brand new and has only been used on my laptop. I've tried it on all three of my computer's USB ports but have the problem with each. I did once solve the problem temporariy by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 7.7, but didn't work a second time.
    Maybe my USB ports aren't powerful enough? Thoughts? My HP laptop is about 5 years old.
    Sure is frustrating. Would love to add more songs from my itunes library.
    Thanks.

  • TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

    I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
    First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES.  There is a bar with buttons toward the top, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist.  Click Apply.
    Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library.  The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing podcasts to iPod shuffle

    I have the square shuffle and every time I go onto iTunes and try syncing a new podcast to it the whole thing freezes. It does not freeze when I sync music, just when I click on the podcast tab at the top. Pretty weird but I can't seem to fix the problem. Please help, Im tired of listening to music while running!!!!!

  • Can't sync songs to ipod shuffle anymore

    Since being on itunes last, about 4 0r 5 months ago, something has changed. I can no longer transfer songs from my playlist to my ipod shuffle. my ipod shuffle does not show  so i can download songs to it as I use to be able to. What has changed?

    I received the same message a while ago and I just kept trying over time and finally it worked. It appears there is a problem with Apple's servers since the computer and to communicate with Apple to authorize/de-authorize.

  • Sync music from ipod shuffle on itunes to new iphone

    I have over 300 songs that show up on my itunes account that I have purchased over the past many years. When I sync my iphone to my itunes account, only music that I have purchased since purchasing my ipad a couple years ago will download on my iphone.  How do I get my older music about 200 songs to download to my phone?

  • My mac won't sync an audio book that I just purchased to my ipod shuffle

    I just purchased an audio book on itunes.  It doesn't sync onto my ipod shuffle.

    If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
    Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
    You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

    All you really need to do is connect the Shuffle to iTunes and set it up to sync however you like.  It will have no affect on your iPod Touch syncs.
