Apple iPod shuffle MP3 Player Logo
Posted on May 04, 2010

I am having trouble adding new material to my ipod shuffle I bought this last year and it is one of the matchbox sized ones I'm not sure what you call these. I tried to add some music to this on my home computer. I originally registered the ipod at my office computer. A message came up which I thought meant that I had to sync the ipod with my home computer and it looks like I have wiped off all my songs. When I plug the ipod into my office computer all the original albums are in the library and my ipod shows in the devices heading in the left hand column but there are still no songs on my ipod./ I have also managed to import a couple of extra cd's onto the ipod but still there is no music on it can you help?

When you initially set up your ipod on one computer and then plug it into a different one, it will ask you if you wish to sync the songs with the new computer.

THIS WILL WIPE OFF ALL OF YOUR SONGS!

If you wish to manually drop and drag songs, you can do this as well and it will ask you if you want to use your ipod like a disk (like a flash drive.)

My suggestion is to import all of your songs you want on your home computer. You can drag songs from your "Library" to your ipod, simply select and drag them to the ipod icon.

If you want to charge your ipod at work just plug it in, don't click anything and then eject it. Or click import songs manually.

After about fortnight, the thanksgiving will be coming, followed closed by it is black Friday which is generally recognized as the start of the Christmas shopping season. This is the day when stores lure their shoppers to come even during very early hours of the morning so they can grab their much-awaited gadgets ahead of everybody.

Next, I will show you Apple iPod’s icon, Model, Year-month introduced, Navigation control, capacity etc. at a round. Hope that you guys could own the best iPod by contrast.

2. Provides many editing functions such as video cropping, movie trimming, and video effect adjustment (including resolution, bit rate, frame rate, brightness, saturation, and sound channel, etc.)

IPod shuffle 1st gen. Not Recognized By PC

Try a different USB port first. Here are some other suggestions:
Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB port on your computer. iPod shuffle may
need to be recharged.
â Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from
www.apple.com/ipod/start.
â Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Make sure iPod shuffle is
firmly seated in the dock. Make sure the USB connector is oriented correctly. It can be
inserted only one way.
â iPod shuffle might need to be reset. Turn iPod shuffle off, wait five seconds, and then
turn it back on again.
â If there is no status light (or the status light is dimmed) and iPod shuffle doesn’t
appear in iTunes or the Finder, the battery may be completely discharged. Let
iPod shuffle charge for several minutes to see if it comes back to life.
â Make sure you have the required computer and software. See “If you want to doublecheck
the system requirements” on page 25.
â Try restarting your computer.
â If none of the previous suggestions solves the problem, you might need to restore
iPod software. See “Updating and Restoring iPod shuffle Software” on page 26.
â If restoring iPod shuffle doesn’t solve the problem, iPod shuffle may need to be
repaired. You can arrange for service on the iPod shuffle Service & Support website at

Ipod problem - playing songs in order

sounds like you need a new hard drive, which has a little read-write disk in it that is getting finicky... just to get more use out of it lay it on side or other positions and hear if works ok...if so its diffently Hard drive. you know the sandisks are 2 gigs no moving parts why doesnt somebody put 20 together making 40 gigs and replace the failing Ipods!!??? just pure electronics and no moving parts and much smaller...not like a hard drive. I thought of this over 30 years ago looking at the first plug in video game.

I downloading the restoring utility...my ipod WONT RESPOND AT ALL

Do you have the oportunity to try a different shuffle on your computer and see if it will charge? If it will, it's probably your shuffle that is the problem. If that is the case, check the contacts on your shuffle to make sure they are not damaged or dirty. I have the same iPod myself, and although I've used it acouple of hours daily for a year, the batteries aren't supposed to (or at least they are not going to) last forever.
