Used ipod Shuffle

I recently got a used ipod shuffle, legally I might add. I was wondering if there was any way to keep some of the songs that are already on there and add some songs of my own? Thanks for any information.

Using win 7 and latest iTunes [10.6.3]. Have already gone through below links and did not find any solution.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post

Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

My computer doesn't recognize my "used" ipod shuffle

How do I get my computer to recognize my "used" ipod shuffle?

See how easy it was to state those important facts. My mind-reading superpower is not working this week...
I know how to connect to the UBS port correctly
I wasn't talking about the USB port end of the cable. I was talking about the plug that connects to the headphones jack on the shuffle. That connection can initially be tighter than expected for some people, so make sure it is fully inserted into the headphones jack. You should feel it click into place.
I have one short cable and a cable with a port to dock the shuffle. (it lights up)
If that second one is a third-party cable, make sure it is described as being for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle. A cable that is for the older 2nd gen shuffle does not work, because the connector plug is different. So, it's possible that you have only one cable that is designed to work withe the 4th gen shuffle?
Both my shuffles are brand new from Amazon. (I returned one as I thought it was bad)
IF you returned one of the shuffles, you only have one on-hand to trouble-shoot with at the moment? "3 bad iPods"? What model is the third iPod? It doesn't connect to your computer and iTunes either? Or maybe you are saying you had three shuffles total and returned one, so now you have two? Confusing...
It seems unlikely that you'd get three (or even two) shuffles that do not connect consecutively. So it still seems to me like it's related to software on the computer, IF it's not one of the things mentioned above. This document has advice on things to try, when both the computer (Windows) and iTunes do not recognize the shuffle as being connected

Some of the points you have already tried, and some do not apply to the shuffle.

Playlist shuffle is working even when the button is off...Im using Ipod shuffle 4th gen*

Im using Ipod shuffle 4th gen...And I am not able to stop the songs getting shuffled....For example I want my ipod the play the songs one by one...but its not working...Its shuffling songs by default...I mean the button which stops shuffling the songs(the on off button when placed in the iddle stops shuffling songs) is NOT working....What to do?

If you are trying to play a playlist in the order shown for that playlist (in iTunes), you need to be IN the playlist on the shuffle. You may be in the main "all songs" list on the shuffle, and not a particular playlist. Note: You can have multiple playlists on 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle, which is why there is a separate "all songs" list.
This article explains how to use VoiceOver, including how to change between playlists.

I can't get my new (used) iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices

I can't get my used iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices. Any ideas?

Which iPod shuffle model is it? This article about syncing the shuffle shows the four types.

As a test, you can try shutting down (powering off) and disconnecting all USB devices (including hub). Start it up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port.

ITunes has stopped Working when using Ipod shuffle 3gen on Windows Vista HB

Itunes keeps shutting down when I insert my Ipod shuffle into the usb connection of my latop. I am using a Windows Vista Home Basic for an OS.
Not sure if this is a Vista, Apple issue, or something else...
I have contacted apple about this and uninstaled/reinstalled Itunes. Yet after all this, I get the same error message. The message reads:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
As far as I know Vista should be compatible with iTunes and it is until I actually try to use my shuffle (newest model). Its weird because my shuffle works fine on a second computer that has Windows XP for an OS...
Does anyone have a solution to this??
Thanks in advance!

i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

How to use iPod Shuffle Correctly in ur PC's?

hi!
Using the latest Versions:
iPod Updater 2006-03-23
iTunes 6.0.4.2
* Be sure to meet the System Requirements b4 installing.
Install, then reboot.
Follow these steps correctly to make your iPod shuffle last long.
To RECHARGE your iPod (not syncing/erasing songs, just recharging) using ur PC's USB correctly:
1. Run d iPod updater, wait for 5-10 sec before connecting your iPod shuffle, then let it recognize your iPod,
2. Let the iPod updater running as long as you want to recharge your iPod Shuffle
3. If ur iPod shuffle is already fully charged or if you want to stop d charging process, then
4. Use the Safely Remove Hardware, Stop d USB Mass Storage Device,
5. Then close the iPod updater
To SYNC/ERASE songs in iPod Shuffle correctly:
1. Run iPod updater, wait for 5-10 sec then connect your iPod shuffle
2. After it recognizes the iPod, wait for 5-10 sec then run iTunes
3. The iTunes will not recognize the iPod shuffle.
4. Close the iPod updater, iTunes will now recognize the iPod shuffle
5. You could now sync/erase your songs.
* This is for Windows users, don't know if it's the same with MAC users.
** These steps are only for those iPod shuffles that can still be recognize by ur PC's.
If ur iPod shuffles can't be recognize by your PC's,
* "Can't be recognize"
Not showing Safely Remove Hardware in your toolbar,
USB Mass Storage Device in your device manager, and
New Drive in My Computer or Windows Explorer
Maybe it's Battery empty:
Use the seperate AC Plug Charger,
fully charge it, then follow all my steps.
* I think the latest iPod updater program conflicts with the latest iTunes program:
Coz, if you just connect your iPod shuffle and let the iTunes run automatically, the iTunes will recognize it while the Windows will recognize it for just a sec then disconnects it, that's why you couldn't sync/erase yor songs.
You could only Sync/Erase ur songs for the 1st time you connect your iPod Shuffle, the next time you'll Sync/Erase it will show an error message "Disk write error" something like that, coz the windows already disconnected it.
I hope this would all help you!..

This is what I have figured out.
I have my (60G video) iPod configured with Windows. I can now still add new MP3 files from both my PC and my Mac. I can also add movies (my own, purchased by me, used ONLY on my own iPod) converted with a special program.
The only thing I miss is the games that I purchased through apple (solitaire and a few others).

Using iPod Shuffle with TWO computers

I have two laptops (one Powerbook and one iBook) and would like to use my iPod Shuffle with both computers, downloading music from the iTunes of each computer. Is that possible or will it always make me choose which iTunes I am linked to and delete all the music from the other one?

You can set your iPod shuffle up to mount as a disk on the desktop, and copy data files that can be transported from one computer to another. You aren't going to be able to use the shuffle to sync music from one iTunes account and another, however. It was only designed to work with one computer/one iTunes at a time.

Using ipod shuffle with more than 1 computer

Some of my music library is on my work machine and some of it is on my home machine. This has never been an issue with my ipod classic. I plug it into either machine and it connects no problem.
Not so with my shuffle. After I loaded it up with songs on my home machine, I tried connecting it to my work machine and got an error message. What's up with that? Is there a way to get around it?
Many thanks.

Tempo of music slows down after a while when using IPod Shuffle

I started running with my IPod shuffle,
and I noticed this glitch, that everytime that I go running,
after a couple of minutes (5-10 minutes), the music starts slowing down,
and let me say that the battery was full when this happened.
help please?

I think so, This IPOD is not exercise friendly, I had exchanged my earphones twice, and used a set of earphones without the controls, after 20 min in a run the thing just stopped, I charged it before I left, I think this is a moisture problem.

Using Ipod shuffle in museum: long-term use?

Hello.
I am a museum curator and am doing an exhibit with oral histories. I am considering using the ipod shuffle to play the audio for this exhibit.
The shuffles would be plugged into a wall adapter, such as the apple USB Power Adapter M9837LL/A, and would run continously for two months. It would be possible to turn them off at night, but inconvient, as the shuffles would be hidden throughout the exhibit.
My question is: can the shuffle be left plugged into the wall adapter for two months, and if so, can it play continously for this long?
Has anyone tried this?
Many Thanks,
Andrian Paquette
Ipod Shuffle

It seems like it does .... I just uploaded a single 45 minute Podcast and listened to it all the way through. That's all I pot onto the iPS. Anyway, when it got to the end it just rolled back to the beginning and is playing again ....

I can't play song using iPod shuffle 2nd generation

No light at all when i want to play song from my iPod shuffle 2nd generation

This is the official Apple part
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
It's somewhat expensive compared to the cost of a brand new shuffle. There are plenty of third-party replacements that cost less, if you search eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere on something like "shuffle cable." Some of the third-party cables have a dock and some just have a connector.
It is VERY important that the product's description says it is for the 2nd gen iPod shuffle. The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles use a cable with a different connector, so it will not work with a 2nd gen shuffle.
