Won't write music to shuffle

Ok, so my dad goes to a conference and comes back with a gift bag and there's a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd generation I think, it's the one that's basicly square). So I take it, open it up and install everything on my computer. I begin to put music on it and after awhile it gives me a pop up warning saying that the device can't be read or written. I'm like ok and blow it off thinkin it's just because the iPod is full and can't store more. I listen to it for a bit and then my bro puts everything on his computer and erases all my songs and then puts some of his on. As far as I know nothing happened there. He leaves a little later after that to go back to college and I erase the songs that he had on it and try to put back the songs that I had on it before. But instead of it writing any songs it tells me that it can't read or write to the device again. I tried restoring it and it comes up with another warning. It says unable to restore iPod, unkown error occured (1418). Anybody know what the **** is going on?

  • When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

    Hi there, When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

    Except for the first shuffle model, the shuffle connects to the computer using the headphones jack, so there is no way to play it when it is connected to the computer.  I guess maybe I don't understand the question...

  • Music App shuffle option doesn't work

    Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
    Music App shuffle option doesn't work.  I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched.  Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
    So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues.  There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

    Hello,
    Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
    The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
    v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:

    I hope that helps.

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday.  Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for.  Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?

    I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday.  Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for.  Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?
    [Music files are still there, and I can play them on my computer directly from the iPod [just one track at a time] but not in the usual way, through headphones.]
    On the Summary page of iTunes for the iPod, it shows 50-plus gigabytes of "Other" content and no music, which was not previously the case.  I assume this is related to the problem.
    I can bring up individual tracks on the iPod and see cover art, but cannot play the music.

    iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
    I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
    I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
    I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
    I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
    I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    I just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3 and now it won't sync music to my iPhone 4... Help please!!
    I have switch the setting on my iPhone to manually manage music and back and it still won't sync the new music

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • My iTunes won't sync music to my iphone 4

    My iTunes won't sync music on to my iPhone 4. It syncs music on to my ipod 3rd gen, but not my iPhone. All my software is up to date, and all my settings are correct, but nothing seems to work. I've tried, turning my phone off and on, restoring my phone, restarting my computer, unchecking and checking my music, and nothing seems to work. I only have one playist with all the songs I want onto my iPhone, because my whole iTunes library doesnt fit onto it. Another note, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning. But earlier today, my music only showed 3 artists, 2 albums, and 622 songs (which is how much I should have on there), and I tried re-syncing my iPhone, and now there's no music on there at all. Please help, music is the main thing I use my phone for, and its gonna make me go crazy if I dont fix this.

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

  • I usually have my music on shuffle but since playing just one album it now will not shuffle all. Shuffle and shuffle all do exactly the same with no differences.  Seems to have happened after upgrade

    I usually play my music on Shuffle all, but having played just one of my albums it will not now shuffle all.  Shuffle and shuffle all do exactly the same thing - no change.  Seems to have happened after upgrade.  Please advise

  • 3gs upgrade to os4 won't sync music or photos anymore

    since upgrading to os4 my 3gs won't sync music and photos. a sync completes successfully and other things like contacts, calender etc all sync fine. but my folders of photos i want synced to the phone don't appear in the photos app anymore... and also any new music (songs or playlists) i add to be synced just don't appear on my phone. also another i've noticed, when i add a song (or more than one), the space that is attributed to music doesn't increase and free space doesn't decrease. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    I also get alot of errors liek 13014 or 9..

  • Blackberry 9320 won't dowload music. Help?!

    My 3 week old blackberry 9320 curve won't dowload music! It downloads until quarter-way & then says "error". This is extremely frustrating as I had a previous 9320 that had exactly the same problem & was sent in for repairs but I was then given a brand new phone 3 weeks later? Could someone please assist??

    I suggest you try downloading music via wifi and see if it completes. If you are in South Africa note that MTN had restricted their BIS to no downloading. This could be the reason why you are not able to get it working, what error mssage are you getting?
