Syncing Ipod Shuffle and Ipod Touch.

I have both Ipod Shuffle and Ipod Touch. I only want certain songs on the Shuffle. How do I "weed out" the rest of the songs?

One at a time ... in other words NOT simultaneously.

    First, I would suggest you backup your iPod touch and transfer purchases to your computer:

    Confirm your Apple ID is set up and updated with the correct information:

    Then, in Settings on your iPod touch, sign out of your iCloud Account and your iTunes Store account and sign back in with the correct Apple ID.

  • I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update.  I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes.  What should I do?

    I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night.  I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync.  It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back.  I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do.  Can someone help?

    Do you have an iCloud backup?  If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup.  However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

  • So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear.  What do I do?

    So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear.  What do I do?

    Does the Shuffle appear ini Tunes at all?  If not try using a different USB port and double checking to make sure the other end of the syncing cable is firmly seated in the Shuffle.

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.

  • TS4062 I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. What can I do about this?

    I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. It was fine until the latest update. It's very frustrating. What can I do about this?

    Hi maasailand giraffe,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    First of all, thanks for the detailed notes of the troubleshooting steps you've already tried.  It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on in your specific case, but I do have a few more ideas for you to try.
    Starting with just one of your iPads, when you get stuck on the "waiting for items to copy" step, just disconnect your iPhone.  There are probably some orphaned or corrupt files that need to be addressed.  I would suggest closing all of your open apps and then backing your iPad up to iCloud.  Then review the articles below to move or delete any big files on your device.  These can include Voice Memos (iPhone), music, photos on your camera roll, photos or videos that are attached to your Messages, email attachments, etc.

  • Can i have an ipod classic and ipod shuffle linked to one library

    I recently tried to charge and sync my ipod shuffle and it kept crashing....it then told me to restore it. Which i did..however, i then get the message below.
    I do not have a disc, and have no idea what the below means.
    many thanks for your help!
    F:\refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a net work. check to make sure that the disc is properly
    inserted or that you are connected to the internet or your network, then try it again.If it still cant be located the information might have been moved to
    a different location.

    To the question in your title, yes you can have as many iDevices as you wish, but you can only connect one to the computer at a time. The easiest way to manage them is probably to give each device it's own core playlist oof content although you can add easily add more than one playlist to each device as long as the sum total of the data fits within the capacity of the device.
    I'm not sure about your error message. This sometimes comes up during installation activies when drives have been moved around. Alternatively Windows might be complaining because iTunes effectively removes the iPod from the list of drives during formatting. Can you get the restore to complete or does it do the same thing again?

  • IPod Shuffle and Windows 7

    I just purchased an iPod Shuffle and attempted to use it on my Windows 7 Beta. iTunes installs and works just fine, but as soon as I hook my Shuffle up, it attempts to sync for roughly 3 minutes and then tells me something along the lines of "Cannot Recognize Disk".
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, that's certainly understandable. However, once Windows 7 is actually out of Beta, this issue may continue to exist. I suppose it's a good thing that it's been discovered now while in Beta mode. I intend on notifying Microsoft about this as well.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

    Hi everobody,
    Is it possible to recharge the battery of my ipod shuffle and to share musics from only an ipad? In other word, can I work without a PC? thx for your answers

    Unfortunately, you can not. Content can only be synced to the Shuffle via iTunes on a PC or Mac.

  • Ipod shuffle and podcasts appearing before normal songs

    hi i have an ipod shuffle 1 gig and i have an odd problem..
    i subscribe to some talk podcasts and i download streamlink mp3's of other talk programs and i have an odd problem when i add them to my shuffle.
    when i have the order set as the mp3 that i downloaded to play first and the podcasts to play last.. for some reason, every time i try to play the podcasts somehow skip the # order i set when putting the files in.
    I've tried the 5 r's once already i suppose i probly did something wrong and will try it again but does anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this problem?
    I have the latest itunes and i think i have the latest shuffle bios. I just can't figue out why it's doing this.. doesn't matter what podcast or mp3's are put in from my file list in itunes, thought that could help too.. thanks in advance.

    Hi, I already have a "normal" iPod that I sync my
    entire iTunes library with. I would like to get an
    iPod shuffle and use the auto fill from playlist
    option to put songs on it. I'm just wondering if
    this will interfere with my current iPod or does
    iTunes play nice with two iPods connected?
    IF you're using Windows, TWO iPods connected SIMULTANEOUSLY is a BAD idea. Otherwise a Shuffle will play nice with another iPod...

  • HT1481 How do I get rid of my music on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs?

    How do I get rid of old songs on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs??

    This is document lists the four iPod shuffle models and the ways to sync music to the shuffle.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    The way you remove songs depends on the model (1st and 2nd gen versus 3rd and 4th gen), and the method being used to add songs.  I don't know your specifics (please provide), I'll go with one possibility...
    You have a 4th (current) gen shuffle and you use the manual method to load the shuffle, by dragging songs to the shuffle from your iTunes library in iTunes (or using the Autofill feature). If that is your shuffle model and how you load it...
    First, in the latest iTunes, the sidebar can be hidden.  To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
    To remove songs, select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  "Drop down" its content list, which is indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see a list of songs currently on the shuffle.  Select the song you want to remove, and hit the Delete key on keyboard.  Confirm action.  You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entire list (by selecting Select All from the File menu). 
    If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or you use automatic syncing (not manual loading or Autofill), please post back.

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

  • What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    Hello laurie0823,
    already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
    if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
    No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
    Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
