Using new shuffle on existing itunes account on second computer

I have a Nano and 2 computers. My husband got a new shuffle, installed it on one computer. When I try to use the shuffle on the 2nd computer, it warns that it will sync and erase his stuff with the library, so I hit cancel and nothing! How can I get the second computer to let me MANUALLY drag songs into the shuffle and recognize it.

so you can only use the shuffle on the one computer you first plugged it into?
No. The iPod shuffle can only be used with one computer at a time. Changing the link will enable it to work with a new machine, but erases everything synced from the previous machine.
What if the original computer becomes obsolete? I have a better library on the 2nd compter , so would prefer to use the shuffle on that one- then , do you have to delete it somehow off the first computer?
Choose the Erase & Sync option which appears when you plug it in to the second computer.

  • New Nano with existing itunes account

    I lost my Nano and just bought a new one. Is there anything special I need to do to make sure my ipod syncs with existing itunes? Can I just plug the usb connector into my desktop and it will download all my music on itunes onto my new Nano? Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, just plug it in.
    It will go thru the registration and then sync everything.

  • Using new shuffle with exsisting iTunes for my iPod

    I tried taking some songs from my iTunes that I use for my iPod. Well on iTunes the songs are there but it will not let me eject my shuffle and the songs don’t play on my shuffle.

    How are you 'taking' songs from your iTunes? And is it yours as opposed to someone else's?
    Which "it" is it that doesn't let you eject your Shuffle? If you mean iTunes, how is it preventing it?
    Finally, what led you to think that they got transfered to your Shuffle in the first place?

    I just bought a new ipod shuffle to relplace my old one. i thought i could just open my existing itunes account and plug in the new shuffle and it would prompt me to add the new ipod to this account. When I plug in the new ipod nothing happens at all. Nothing opens up to recognize the new ipod at all. I am up to date on itunes downloads and i restarted my computer. I have tried plugging in the new ipod several times to no avail. no acknowledgement at all. no devices at all. do i have to download itunes again each time i buy a new ipod?

    how do I delete and existing itunes account on a phone that i have transfered to and start a new one

    You can't. All you can do is stop using it. Anything you have purchased using the old Apple ID is permanently connected to it and cannot be updated or re-downloaded when using the new Apple ID.

  • Downloading music from existing iTunes account to new iPhone

    I hope someone can help me with this:
    I have an existing iTunes account, linked to my iPod, and I recently purchased an album via my iTunes account (on my computer) which I then planned to download to my new iPhone. This is where the problems / questions start -
    How can I download this album to my iPhone?
    How can I use one iTunes account (share) with two Apple products (iPod & iPhone)

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes library, there is no limit. You can decided what content you want on each device & itunes will keep everything straight, by device, on subsequent syncs.

    There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
    The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
    If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem.  You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

  • I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    You can set them up with your Apple ID if you want to. You can also set them up with their dad's Apple ID. Depending on how old the boys are, you can even let then have their own Apple ID's. The one thing that you don't want to do is have them use more than one Apple ID on their iPads.
    If you want to be able to share purchased content, then setting them up with either your ID or your husband's (?) ID would be the way to go. If the boys share an ID with one of you, they can download content that you have already purchased without having to pay for it again.
    If you and have the financial wherewithal to allow them to purchase their own individual content, I would recommend letting them have their own Apple ID. This way, as they grow older and eventually move on, they will have their own accounts, their own purchases .... No ties needed to your ID or to dad's ID. FaceTime and Messages will be a little easier to set up if they have their own ID's and they can have their own iCloud accounts as well. However, they must be 13 years old in order to have an Apple ID and iTunes account. If they are under 13, then it's a no brainer you will have to use yours or their father's ID.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't switch from one ID to another ID on the iPads. That gets confusing and they could end up locking themselves out of one of the ID's for 90 days if they download a past purchase using a different ID.

  • TS3212 I'm trying to download my existing iTunes account onto my new computer. Whenever I push download nothing works. It thanks me for downloading and then nothing happens. There is no pop-up control in the tool bar. Help???

    I'm trying to download my existing iTunes account onto my new computer. For one, every time I try and download it it takes a second and then says "thank you for downloading iTunes!" and after that there's nothing, no results, no download. I read the instructions, and I looked on my toolbar. There appears to be no pop-up control and I can't find anything relating to it. I have Windows 8, in case that makes a difference. This shouldn't be a problem, but it is, so....HELP???!

  • How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

    My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
    I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

    I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

    On any page in the iTunes Store, click the flag icon at the lower right.  This brings up a page saying "Choose your country or region."  Click Canada.
    Before you can buy anything, you will need to enter your Canadian credit card.
