Hello Jessica. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can either manually transfer your music to iTunes:

Or you can use free third-party services like, for example, try YamiPod. See if this post that contains a list of these kind of services helps you:

HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

I would like to add music from my Ipod shuffle to my new computer but my old computer is broken and cannot access it anymore

I would like to sync my ipod shuffle to my new laptop, however I do not have access to my old computer so I do not have access to the old itunes library. My ipod is charged music on it and I have it plugged into the usb cord which is plugged into my computer's usb port. I downloaded the latest version of itunes but do I have to register first? can anyone help me?

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

I can't import the songs on my ipod shuffle to my new computer

Hi all, I was wondering if you can help. I had my itunes installed on a freinds computer. I now have my own computer and have connected my ipod and installed itunes. I have been able to import the songs I purchased from itunes onto the new computer, but cannot seem to import the songs from the shuffle to the itunes library. I cannot get access to the old computer to make a copy. Can you please advise a way to import the songs from the shuffle to this itunes on my new computer. Many thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward, just check for one that soecifically state they work with the iPod shufle. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
There is also manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location mention for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

Trying to get Pics off Ipod-Not mounting on New Computer

So my laptop got stolen...6 years worth of pics - Gone. They stole my backup drive too. Bummer. Good news is they didn't get my 5th gen 80g Video iPod which has my photo library on it. While waiting for my new laptop, I've set up as a new user on my wife's new white MacBook and plugged in the ipod to see if I can put it into disk mode and see if those photos are even full res or not (3,500 photos-4gig...should be, right? Not sure how I synced it before, but 4gig tells me there's gotta be some resolution there.)
Plugged the iPod in with the USB2...nothing. Didn't show up in iTunes, nor in finder. This is a brand new iTunes with nothing in it (just using this user acct/laptop as a temp) and it's never met this iPod... but then again, that's the same deal when I plug in and charge my iPhone up (don't sync it, obviously) yet it shows up in iTunes and I get the device window with all the info, color coded memory allocation, sync prefs, music, photo, info tabs..etc...but when I do the same with this iPod, no dice.
So since I could do nothing, I had to wince and unplug it and soft reset to get the frozen "Do Not Disconnect" screen off, and about had a heart attack doing so since it's the ONLY copy of my pics and music.
Anyone know why this thing isn't mounting? I also read somewhere that you can put the iPod into disc mode with a select button/click wheel sequence, so maybe I don't even need it to show up in iTunes?
Also, anyone know a good pic recovery program if that doesn't work?
Thanks in advance.
Derrick

Sorry to hear about your computer. Let's hope the thief gets hit by a bus.
Yes there is a button press for manually entering disc mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

Reinstall Upgraded version of CS5 on a new computer.

I have been trying to reinstall my CS5 UpGrade software on a new computer today and it has been a complete hassle. I have had two chat session with people in India and with no success. The last session ended with them asking me to install my Upgrade CS5 into a folder on my "C" drive by making a new folder on the drive. This did not work!!!!!!!!!. I still get the same problem, the installer fails. I have installed Support Advisor and followed its instructions and end up at the same point without success. The chat case customer ID number is 1098256450. Can someone help????? Do I have to buy some paid support, what do I have to do. I need CS5 running today. HELP!!!!!

Hi Jack,
I went through your interaction notes and some of those error messages show up if there is a problem with permissions.
Tough you have admin privileges on your computer, it is possible that the installer is unable to access some of the folders to which files need to be copied.
Creating a new user account will reset all permissions. Hence it is worth a try to install the application from a new user account.
You can create a new user account from the control panel.
If the application successfully installs,you can delete the new account and will still be able to access the application from your existing account.

IPOD Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a USB power surge

Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

Hi JBR,
Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
After that, open itunes and life should be good.
Hope this helps!

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle

Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything. See here for more details.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.
