Trying to load songs on co-workers shuffle

I have an old school 10 gb ipod that I sync up with itunes everyday. I let my coworker listen to toby keith's taliban song on 9/11 and sorely paid for it by her knieving it out of me several hours out of our work day. She's made a list of all the songs she wants from my ipod to her shuffle. When I plug her unit into my usb port it brings up a message to the effect of do you want to sync your library with "coworkers shuffle" thus erasing the scores of songs she has on there currently and replacing with my library. I just want to transfer 20 or 30 songs to her shuffle but after I say no to the delete and replace message the shuffle is nowhere to be found in my itunes screen unlike my ipod that shows up immediately. I just want to leave her songs in tact and add some of mine. Any ideas?

read a previous post, shuffle can only be linked to one library at a time. thanks

Itunes screen freezes when trying to load songs in new ipod shuffle

I just bought an ipod shuffle for my mother but when I try to load songs from itunes, the screen just seems to freeze until I disconnect shuffle.
I tried to restore it but it doesn't work ("error 1418" is all I can get).
I don't understand why since I have no problem with my ipod nano on the same computer.

Be sure to use a rear port on your Shuffle, it needs full power to work.

When trying to load onto my sons ipod shuffle i keep getting the message 'the ipod update server could not be contacted'. The ipod has never been used and has been sitting in a drawer. It seem to charge but I cannot load any music for him.

Should say, I have tried altering the LAN setting to 'automatically detect settings', updating itunes etc but nothing has worked. I have a very unhappy 6 year old!

You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library. If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article

Error mesage when trying to load songs onto ipod, computer is authorized

my husband and I have 2 different user IDs on vista and when I tried to load some songs from our public itunes directory onto his ipod, an error pops up saying this computer is not authorized to play these songs. When I try to authorize the computer in the itunes store it says, computer already authorized but I continue to get the error. I logged out of my account and back in but it still isn't working. Now when I tried to sync my iphone under my user id on the laptop I'm getting the error message that the computer is not authorized so it can't sync my iphone apps. It worked fine a week ago, this is not a new computer.

I have the exact same problem, meaning I have to reinstall a game I bought in iTtunes Store every time I plug in my iPod.
I just tried the signing out, restart, signing in proces, but it didn't work for me.. any other suggestions how to solve this?
I've been experiencing this problem ever since I updated itunes to 8.1, and even now after updated to 8.2 it's still the same..

Ive just got a new computer and trying to put songs on my new shuffle, but i keeps asking me to authorize the computer, i have no idea how to do this

Hi can someone please help,
i ve got a new computer (windows7) and a new shuffle, and its asking to aurthrized the computer before i down load anything for i tunes that ihave already bought. but there is no explaination on how to do this
any ideas

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How do I transfer the songs from my iPhone to my iPod Shuffle

Which instructions? The ones in the manual? Do you really have a 1st Gen shuffle (since you posted in the discussion for it)?

Error when trying to load songs from iTunes to my iPod

After downloading music from iTunes to my PC, when I try to sync it to my iPod classic I get the following error message.
"The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-48)"
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have also ran into this problem at one time. However, after some thorough web searching I ran into this website, which offered numerous suggestions by different people who have come across this error. Hope it helps a bit. Don't be afraid to try any of these solutions.

Itunes Problem with loading songs

I'm trying to load songs into my itunes. I select "File" then "Add File to Library". I have to do it 4 songs at a time. If I select more then 4 songs the stupid program just goes back to the main screen and loads nothing. I've updated my itunes to the latest version. No change.
Is this a "Feature" of the software or just a bug?

You can go to File -> Add Folder to Library, and then highlight a folder, and iTunes will import all songs that are in that folder, or subfolders of that folder, that it can recognize the format of.

Weird error message when loading songs to Shuffle

Hello,
I'm getting a little bit p.o.'d with the Shuffle I bought for my husband for Christmas.
Here is what's happening and what all I've done since last night...
Happening: I get the Shuffle to show up in the iTunes source list and can load it with 5 songs and then each time I try and drag another song onto it, I get the following error message:
"The iPod "MyPod" cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be found."
When I select the Shuffle from the source list, the songs I tried to load and received this message with show up with a grey circle/dot next to the number that the particular song would be in the Shuffle's list.
At first I thought maybe it was happening because a long time ago I had another computer and burned a disc of all the songs I purchased from the iTunes Music Store and then dragged into iTunes library on my new computer. So then I bought a new song last night and the same thing happened, same error message.
Here's what I've done so far:
I have removed/reinstalled iTunes 6 and the iPod updater. A couple times last night when trying to restore the Shuffle to factory settings, it didn't show up in the updater. I've trashed the plist files, repaired permissions, removed the iPodDriver.kext file, as told to do so in an Apple article.
I'm getting a wee bit frustrated and am hoping to get some help from all of your people here on the discussions!
I also noticed that none of these problems happen with my iPod Mini, just the Shuffle. Since I just got it yesterday, I will phone Apple support this morning when they open and will post back anything I learn, but I'm hoping someone here can help me (us) out before having to deal with Apple---I'm about to pull out my hair here and that's just not a good look for the Holidays, you know?!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Mary

Hi srb,
Actually my iPod Mini is called Mary's iPod and the Shuffle is called MyPod. They both show up in iTunes now and I found a "workaround" to get the songs on the shuffle, making a playlist and having the shuffle autoload from that list.
Thanks for the feedback and happy holidays!

Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.
david.

You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

Recently downloaded new ITunes. Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Help????

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Loading songs to Shuffle.

My buddy gave me the Shuffle player and I loaded songs from my iTunes that I had back then.
Now he wants newer songs. When I connect the Shuffler, a message asks if I want to Sync it or erase it. But there is no icon to show that Shuffler. It shows it under "MIKE"S IPOD".
All I want to do is change the songs and place new ones from my library.
Confused?
Thanks,
Mike

Here's what happened:
The Shuffle showed that it was listed as "MIKE'S IPOD," when actually it wasn't. That was just the name given to the Shuffle.
I cleared it and manually installed the songs of choice.
That work great.
I was just worried that it would actually remove my iPod songs or the Library songs.
They stayed safe.
Thanks.
Mike

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

After that happens you can restore from backup.
