Will my shuffle work on a different computer???
Hi can someone PLEASE help me. I bought an ipod shuffle in england a few months ago and spent a lot of money buying my fave songs to put on it, as i was moving to america and wanted to listen to english music while i was out here. However i have installed itunes onto my computer in the USA but i cannot bring up my songs onto the american computer and cannot upload new songs onto it now without deleting all the original songs on it. Is the shuffle only designed to be compatible with the first computer you use it on, or am i doing something wrong. HELP ME PLEASE.......
You were right on your first guess, it is designed to work on only one computer/library at a time. You can tell the new computer you don't want to link to it, leave the Shuffle connected, turn on the capability to see hidden files in Windows Explorer, copy the songs to your computer, then use iTunes to Add them to the library. After disconnecting the Shuffle, reconnect it, say Yes to the linking message and Add the songs from your hard drive. You can then copy all of them to your Shuffle.
Alternatively, you can use 3rd party software such as Xplay, Gnupod, Anapod, or Winamp with a plugin.

I have changed a keyboard to work on a different computer. How do I change it back so it works on the original computer?
To recognize your iPod touch on your Mac, AMDS has to be installed.
To reinstall follow this article:

if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?
They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one. -
Will iPod Shuffle work on Lexus IS250/350 Standard Audio?
I own a '11 Lexus IS350. Will iPod Shuffle work on standard Lexus audio by plugging the device to USB port inside the center arm rest and control playback of tracks through Lexus audio unit? like PLAY, PAUSE, SKIP FORWARD / BACKWARD, etc etc etc? I know iPod Touch works, but how about iPod Shuffle? It doesn't have a lightning connector, instead it uses 3.5mm-to-USB cable supplied by Apple. How da heck is that gonna work is beyond me..
Thanks!
goodolcheezThis is pretty embarrassing that nobody owns iPod Shuffle to play it on their car sterero.... Is playing music with portable player in the car not popular any more? C'mon guys this is ridiculous...... let's get real please thanks.

Will new shuffle work on older iMac w/USB 1.0?
Thinking about getting my 9 year old a new suffle for xmas. His mac is an older G4 FP (lamp style) and only has USB 1.0. Will the new shuffle work on his iMac?
Thanks,
AlfredoThe 2 responses to this question conflicted. On the
page referenced in the second answer, it says only
USB 2.0. The first answer said that yes, it will work
with USB 1.0.
Which answer is correct???
The first one... the second answer doesn't have any experience behind it, only marketing pap.
From a first hand point of anecdotal reference, MY iPods, including first and second generation Shuffles work fine with USb 1.1 (2001 iBook dual-USB, iMac 333mHZ Rev D, and eMac 1GHz). -
Will ipod Shuffle work on mac os 9.2x?
Question: Will the iPod shuffle work on my clamshell I know about the requirements but sometimes you can use mac os X programs and software on os 9.2 I just need an answer soon before Ibuy the shuffle!
-JeremyJeremy,
Your only option will be to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.2.8. I recommend that you upgrade 10.3.9 though because of code optimizations, there is a consensus that it runs quicker and has more features. You'll need at least 128MB of RAM to run OS X at a grueling pace, but it's recommended that you put in as much as you can.
It should be noted that even with OS X, you'll still need an iPod Shuffle Dock or a USB Cable Extender to physically be able to plug the iPod Shuffle into your iBook's USB port, as the shuffle is a bit wide.
It should also be noted that the iPod Shuffle will then only run at slower USB 1.1 speeds not USB 2.0.
I hope this helps.

IPod Shuffle works on one Windows computer, but not another
My shuffle shows a full list of songs from my music library in the contents window. However, when I restore it, it still shows the same list in the contents window. When I try to play the shuffle, I get flashing green and amber lights.
I can restore the shuffle and add songs to it on another computer and it plays properly, but then when I go back to the original computer, it still shows the full list in contents, not just the couple of songs that should be there.
I can't seem to be able to restore it from my original computer either. I run the restore, but the same list shows in contents. I have also tried selecting all songs and deleting them and then restoring, but no luck.
Is there some sort of conflict going on? The original computer is a network computer. Does that have anything to do with it? Both computers have the same version of iPod and iTunes installed.

Try creating a numerical indicator (or cluster indicator, etc.) on the front panel of your program of the data being fed to the graph. This will allow you to see the numerical values being fed to the graph itself while the program is running. Let us know what you find.

my current itunes library will not update, therefore to update my ipod touch i must use a different, more current computer. will that delete the music ive downloaded onto it? some of it isnt purchased from the itunes library. my brother also said that you cant sync you updated itouch will lower updated itunes. suggestions?
You brother is right. If have OSX 10.4.11 and update on another computer then you can't connect to iTunes on the 10.4.11 computer anymore.
- As you probably know, you can transfer iTunes purchases to another computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Or redownload most iTunes purchases via iCloud if in the USA by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

Putting songs on an iPod Shuffle 4 from a different computer?
We purchased an iPod Shuffle Gen 4 for our dad for Christmas. I used my iTunes account and Macbook to put songs onto the iPod, then mailed it to Dad. Now we want to add songs to the shuffle from my sister's iTunes account and Macbook because she lives near Dad, while I'm in another state. How can we do this and keep the original songs on the iPod? We are fine with having to switch over the control of this iPod to my sister's iTunes account and Macbook since she will be doing all the updates. Thank you!
hey, how do you do that? using one library for 2 ipods. When you do that, usually the ipod will earse the music it had before in order to upload the music from itunes. can you email me how you do it at [email protected] ? Thanks.

How to save Final Cut Pro project to an ftp server to then open on a different computer
Hello, I work for a graphic design firm that also does video production for businesses. We are using Final Cut Pro X in our office which has an FTP server connected to all office computers.
What we want is to be able to have on employee start a project in Final Cut Pro X, save it to the server; then have another employee open up the same project and continue working from a different computer.
Right now, we have a lot of our Final Cut files saved to the server, and the files will show up in the server on the other employee's machine. BUT, we scroll in the server to the file for the Final Cut Pro project on the other computer, and the file is grayed out, unable to be opened on the new computer.
I've tried right clicking and choosing "open with Final Cut" and Final Cut does then open, but right before it opens the project within Final Cut, a message comes up saying "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro," which of course, I see no way to do that from within Final Cut Pro.
I've also called Apple Care, they reminded me that we can't have one project open on two computers at the same time, and that's fine. We are willing to close the project on computer one to then open on computer two.
If you have an answer let me know. We don't want to have to load onto an external hard drive to then load onto the other machine, especially since we have a server ready to go.
Thanks for your help.You can share projects via the ftp server, but you need to:
1) Have all the media in identical events on each editor's machine;
2) Set up the project and share the entire folder for that project first;
3) Afterwards, you can share just the project file itself
You CANNOT work directly on projects and events stored in the ftp server.

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.
Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

Keyboard problems, not working keys and different connection with letters
PLEASE HELP ME, The background is this: Yesterday I have done for the first time the time machine with my external hardisk, and I try to delete also all remains documents of windows from virtual machine Parallel (I delete it after trial version and I still have windows data in the mac).
(I dont know if is connected to the problem)
After this, this morning the keyboard start to work bad, some keys don't work, like ENTER or P or Volume Buttons, but the strange thing is that some other work differently, like pushing the left arrow it type "à".
I try to change Mac, in order to understand if is a software problem, but nothing, it didnt work also on different computer.
It's not a keyboard lenguage problem as you can think, I changed, lenguage, and nothing, in fact this does not explain why some keys dont work,
In the keyboard visor, I can see which key works and which not, and some like, down arrow, is perennially insert, and furthermore, up volume work as backspace.
So, a series of strange problems.
-keys that dont work
-wrong connection (key-letters)
-and keys always "ON"
I'm sure that no liquid went on the keyboard, and the keyboard is new, (less than 6 month, bought at Apple store)Ok, I try again, and I followed perfectly the process, the "UTILITY DISC PAGE" was due to the fact that the "P" button doesnt work, therefore, it get just option+cmd+R
Oh, really this is very strange. I try this keyboard on an other mac and it didnt work (it fail the configuration process because the "ENTER KEY" doesnt work)
I try also a USB keyboard on my mac and it was all OK.
So, it seems to be a software problem of my bt keyboard, there isnt a way to reset? I'm worry about match again the bt because it will ask me to type numbers and then ENTER and if the keyboard will not be fixed, Im without keyboard... now I can use it and when I need some key that dont work, I use the virtual keyboard.
Guys, what do you suggest to do? The keyboard is in warranty but the bill is in Italy, now I'm in UK, the apple store could replace it without the bill? -
Cannot drag/drop music from iTunes onto iPhone (synced with a different computer)
I have a library of music already on my iPhone that was synced with another computer. I am working on a different computer and bought some music that I thought I could just drag and drop into my iphone from iTunes. I have read that you need to check manually manage music but when I do that it says it will erase everything on my phone. I don't want to do that because I have music on my phone that isn't in the library I'm using. Is there anything else I can do?
you iphone does not work like a regular ipod, where you can drag and drop music, you must sync it with itunes. plug it into your computer, click on the icon that is labeled iphone. when you do this there is a section on the top that says music. click on that, then you can select playlists and artists, etc. then click apply. it should work then

When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads Problem with shortcut. The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes. I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either. I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am going to loose all these now? Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
ThanksI would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...
