Ipod Shuffle Help!! I'm gonna go crazy!!

[Drummer71]

Okay, so I got an ipod shuffle about a week ago. It's been working fine up until i plugged it in to the computer the other day. The light kept flashing orange and a folder windo came up instead of iTunes. And when i go to put songs on my Ipod iTunes says its not connected or its being used by something else. Does any one know wut the heck is going on!? I'm about ready to jsut snap the flippin thing in half!! :furious: I'm going to Europe in about a week and I'd like to get it figured out by then, cause so far I dont have any idea what's wrong. So some one PLEASE help me!!! Thanks.

Well... Did you try the help? That clears things up alot. Some other advice, maybe your itunes has some auto crap turned on. It's really annoying till you fix it. If you need more help than that darn help, schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple you bought it at. You can book using this link: http://www.apple.com/retail/ and select the Apple store closest to you. And it'll pop up, and you'll see a little box that says "Need help? Book with the Genius Bar/Concierge." etc. Click it, book an appointment, and some help'll be on the way.

If someone is already logged onto your computer then they have to logoff before you can use the shuffle on your name.

ipods can be kinda stupid at times but mine isnt a shuffle. i dont like shuffles but thats just my opinion..

i had a shuffle and mine was doing tht for a while...


how old is ur cpu??? does it have 2 USB ports on it? and if it does....you have to plug it into the BOTTOM one, not the top.....



idk if tht was any help....but dont snap it in half just yet :badpc: ....when i had problems with mine, i went to circuit city to get help...it worked :thumbsup2

Thanks for all the help. It started wroking fine again, but then jsut the other day it wouldnt run on. I called Mac and they said to return it, so I did and got an Ipod Nano instead wich is MUCH nicer.

[Drummer71]

Okay, now I'm having a problem with the Nano! urgh. okay so on iTunes under the source list when i click on the ipod, all the songs and everything under the ipod list are faded out and i cant click anything, can any one help me again? thanks

First, this iPod isn't set as your default iPod, so iTunes treats as a foreign one. What ya gotta do is look for a playlist called whatever you titled the iPod. You drop the songs in there, then right-click your iPod and select "Update iPod". I don't know how to switch default iPods but that's the way it works for my computer.

[Drummer71]

Nah, I know what you're talking about and that's not the problem, thanks though.
