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?

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.

Having trouble syncing new shuffle with my itunes

This is getting really annoying, it keeps doing the autofill. I use it only to workout with, so I made a workout mix. On my 4th gen I have no problem setting it to only update certain playlists but I can't seem to do that with my shuffle. Is there anyway I can get it to stop doing autofill and just sync my workout list?

YES.
Look carefully to the right of the Autofill button... it says "Autofill from:" with a button that's labeled Music but also has arrows (up/down) which if clicked on gives you a list of all playlists in the sources panel...

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes. On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced. This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID. However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps. This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

You must be using an update CD. You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

Hey,
Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
Thanks In Advance,

Well there are two way to go about this.
Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

Can I use my shuffle with Windows and Mac?

My shuffle works great with my computer running windows, but doesn't mount on my Apple, or recognized by iTunes (on my G4).
Can I use the Shuffle on both computers?

Yes you can. The iPod Shuffle always uses FAT32 so it's compatible with both OSes out of the box. With a dual 800 I'm guessing you've got USB 1.1 ports. You're also running 10.4.2 so you should be fine. I've used my shuffle with a Windows PC running XP via USB 2.0 and my upgraded Sawtooth running 10.3.9 via USB 1.1 (both direct port and via the keyboard).
Note that there is no "manual" mode for the shuffle so iTunes won't show you what's on there unless you let it remove all the songs first.
