How do you connect the iPod shuffle to an iPad?

We have a new iPod shuffle and a new iPad, we are new to Apple products and we don't know how to connect the iPod shuffle to the iPad for iTunes music. We got the iPad and iPhone synchronized all right with the cloud but what do we do with the iPod Shuffle now????
Ideas are welcomed.
Thanks

You can't connect an iPod to an iPad, you will need to sync via your computer's iTunes

How to use multiple computers (mac) and an ipod ???

Ok, i am very very new to mac's and ipods, i just got one yesterday. Me and my girl both have one and use it on 2 different macs. She had purchased some tv shows, and i would like to put them on my ipod as well. they are purchased so we do own them correct??? So i finally figured out how to add them to my ipod from her mac, by switching to manual mode. But than once i hook my ipod up to my mac, it automatically delets them. Because i am guessing i am in automatic mode. Can someone help me to prevent this. I do not want to change my mac out of auto mode, because it is a pain in the rear to manually add everything to the ipod. Please help???
Also since i had changed my ipod out of automatic mode once and placed it into manual mode once, and back again to auto i always have to eject my ipod. How do i set it up like it was out of the box, in auto mode and that i do not have to eject it from itunes.
Thanks so much, i know that i am a nube at all of this...

You can't do this. If you want to update your iPod from multiple machines, you NEED to be in manual mode on both computers. There's no way around this.
Here's an article from Apple which explains how to do it.

When you switched to manual mode, it automatically enables Disk Mode on your iPod.
If you don't want to keep ejecting the iPod, then you need to disable Disk Mode. You can do this in iTunes preferences.
Then again, one you go back to manual mode... which you need to do to use you r iPod with more than one computer... it's going to enable disk mode again anyway.

I seem to recall that this may be cause by overloading the USB bus (lack of power to go around). Shut down your computer. Reset the iPod shuffle using this procedure.

Disconnect ALL peripheral USB devices, including keyboard and mouse. Power up the computer. If you need your mouse, connect it and launch iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle to a direct USB port and try the sync again. See if there is any difference.

Is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts? if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

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.

MY MAC TURNS OFF AFTER CONNECTING MY IPOD SHUFFLE

Every time I connect my ipod shuffle to either my macbook pro or Imac, the computer shuts off. Can anyone assist me with this issue?

Hello bjc, 3418,
It sounds like your iPod is causing any computer you plug it into to turn off unexpectedly. If you've already tried a different usb cable, I would reset the iPod and test it again.
Resetting iPod shuffle
Then if the issue persists, it sounds to me like that will need service to fix this iPod:

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents. For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

Can I use multiple sa-ns500 on the same network?

Is it possible to use multiple sa-ns500 speakers on the same network? they seem to want to have the same name on the network and therefore only 1 will connect at a time? Can I rename one somehow? Thanks!

Hello Brian,
Welcome to Sony Community.
Please check for the Secure Link option in the Home Theater System or A/V Receiver. This will help isolate the connection to the different Network speakers.
Yes, you can use multiple Network speakers on the same home network.
You can change the Device name using the Setting screen on the browser.
Follow the steps mentioned on the page # 34 and 35 of the User’s manual to start up the browser of the Network speakers and change the Device name.
