He will show me a red circle with a slash in it.

You see this in the window of iTunes on the computer?

If iPod shuffle is older than 1st gen or 2nd gen model, OR if it's the 3rd generation or 4th gen set to use automatic synchronization, the shuffle can be associated with both iTunes library.  Therefore, if on the shuffle songs have been previously synchronized using a different iTunes library from your current iTunes library, you must associate the shuffle with your current iTunes library.  This clears the existing content of the shuffle (from the previous iTunes library) and replaces it with the current contents of the iTunes library.

Your information is limited, but perhaps that is the reason for what you describe.  If this isn't what you describe, please post back with more details, including where you see the "red circle with a slash" and model iPod shuffle.  There are four types of iPod shuffle, presented in this document

    Hi Parrot Hog.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    Windows Media Player are not compatible with the iPod. You may need to purchase a plug-in to sync the iPod to your windows media player.

    IPod is designed to synchronize with ITunes.

    Use your favorite search engine to find the plug-in that helps you accomplish the task.

  • iPod shuffle will not work on windows 10

    Windows 10 strikes arrive again i pod shuffle to work. Tried everything. Many areas "grayed" out in the menu, sync etc..

    When I click the sync "ipod sync" button but no music at all the

    If it is a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle, check the setting to manually manage music.  Select shuffle in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to show his summary of the settings screen in the iTunes window.  To the right is the place to manually manage music currently checked or not checked?  If it is checked, the shuffle configured to load songs manually, so by clicking Sync button does 'sync' the shuffle, but some songs will be synchronized.  If you want to use the Auto-Sync for music...

    In the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Right, parameters of music on the iPod screen.  Check the box to Sync music.  This enables automatic synchronization.

    NOTE: All the songs on the shuffle that are not on your iTunes library with being lost.

    Below, if your library iTunes music is really small and fits on the shuffle, you can choose the option synchronize entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Make your choice from the lists below.  For example, you can create and maintain playlists (one or more) in your iTunes library, with songs that you want on the shuffle.  On the settings screen of music from iPod, under playlists, select playlists.  Click Apply to sync your music library, or the selected part to the shuffle.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps your shuffle 'in phase' with your iTunes library, or the selected part of it, when you connect (or click on the sync button if already connected).

    OR, you can leave the value manually manage musicand use the auto-fill feature.  With my shuffle, I use Autofill to load a random selection of songs to a "Favorites" playlist (it is much larger than the capacity of the shuffle), whenever I connect to load.  AutoFill is not Automatic sync.  For more information about the AutoComplete feature, please post back.

  • IPod Shuffle Gen 2 will not load.

    I pod shuffle 2 generation does not load. Light does not illuminate. May be time for a new or repaired.

    You use the USB cable supplied with the shuffle.  For a 2nd gen shuffle, this cable is long with a cradle for the shuffle.  A cable for 3rd/4th gen shuffle does not work with 2nd gen shuffle (connector is different).

    If you use the right cable, but the random reading light lights at all, the cable may be defective.  There is cable of third party replacements.  If you want to try another cable, make sure it is described as being 2nd generation Shuffle (not 3rd/4th generation).  For example, some are not actually cables

    http://www.Amazon.com/adapter-Apple-iPod-shuffle-generation/DP/B000QHOB4S

    It is also possible that the shuffle is defective.  I think that the shuffle would always turn on when connected to power, if the problem is with the battery.  So it is something else, like a worn or damaged headphone jack.  Or bad logic board.

    Whatever you do, don't forget that a 4th gen new shuffle with a new helmet, docking cable, and the guarantee of one year is $ 49 retail.

  • My i pod classic has no summer when option in I tunes 12.5

    My I pod classic has no summer when option in i tunes 12.5.  I want to manage my iPod

    Launch iTunes and connect the iPod.  The iPod is displayed as a button on the device, close to upper left corner of the iTunes window.  This screenshot of my iTunes appears iPod device button, circled in red

    Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side of this screen, in the sidebar, in setting, click the iTunes (like the music) media type to set up automatic synchronization for this type of media to iTunes.

    So if you are more familiar with the "tabs" to set up the iPod, who went in the upper part of the window of iTunes Plus, it works the same way, except that the features are now in the sidebar on the left side.

  • I have an OLD generation of iPod Shuffle.

    I have an old iPod Shuffle.

    It is no longer holds a charge and so died.

    My biggest concern is that I've got tons of music on the Shuffle, and it is not saved anywhere on my computer.

    I spoke with Apple, Best Buy and a local computer expert on the opening of the iPod to at least extract music files, but no one can or will do.

    Anyone know of someone who can open the iPod, maybe install a battery and transfer music files on?

    Thank you.

    The iPod always appear in iTunes or on your computer as a USB storage device when it is connected?  Shuffle can be opened, but the battery is hard to change, because everything is very low and the battery is soldered to the logic board.  Here you can see an illustrated repair guide

    https://www.iFixit.com/device/iPod_Shuffle

    But if the iPod is still currently on your computer, you can download the files of the song.  But not with iTunes.  By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  However, he third methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few useful links, including a CNET article on the subject.

  • Classic i - pod, i-tunes not recognized not

    plugged the iPod on a Mac Classic.  Naturally, it erases all the music on the iPod. However, none of the music on the Mac was recorded on the ipod.  The monitor of playback for music stated, 'no music'.  Then, to make matters worse, when I plugged the ipod into my PC, it has not copied anything from the computer.  I went to devices on the drop of i-tunes, but the iPod does not appear as a device.  At one point, I got a warning to the effect that the iPod was corrupt.  I tried to reset by pressing the menu and select button, got the picture of the Apple, but still i-tunes does not recognize the device.  I tried this on another PC, that I have before at the end.  Same result. Both computers have the latest version of i-tunes.  On the page 'about' on the i - pod, I see that the version is 2.04PC, so I guess that the original software was for a PC and plug it into a Mac that messed up.  Can I load onto the ipod via the internet on PC?

    Naturally, it erases all the music on the iPod.

    Don't know what that means "naturally"...  If iPod was already associated with your Windows computer's iTunes library and you connected to your Mac, it shouldn't erase the iPod unless specifically can you tell iTunes Sync music library iTunes to Mac or do a restore (to erase the iPod).  Since that it has been deleted (probably with a restoration), after the restoration, the iPod uses the manually manage music and videos by default.  It still "synchronizes" but nothing is loaded onto the iPod.

    If you are planning that iTunes to automatically sync your music library on iPod, you assign to Sync music.  Find the iPod touch device in iTunes.  Here is a screenshot of the upper left corner of my window in iTunes, iPod button circled in red

    Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  To the right, the music from the iPod settings screen.  Check the box to Sync music.

    NOTE: All of the songs on the iPod that are are not in your iTunes library (on computer) will be lost.

    This enables automatic synchronization.  You can choose to synchronize the entire music library (if it fits) or a part of the selection .  Set up this screen as desired, then click apply to sync.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps iPod "in phase" with the changes to your music library (or the selected part of it) when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

    NOTE: If your iPod is currently "corrupt", you will need to do a restore of the iPod in iTunes, before you can set it up to Sync music.  The restore button is on the settings of the iPod summary screen in iTunes.  Use any computer you plan to use with the iPod, to proceed to the restore.

    Can I load onto the ipod via the internet on PC?

    Embedded iPod software is the same, the only difference is how, the iPod's hard drive is formatted for Mac or Windows.  And do a restore on the iPod in iTunes, it's how the iPod software is reinstalled.

  • iOS 10 playlist shuffle cutting end songs?

    After that a number of loading songs organized in playlists, I'm having a problem where when I mix a playlist, it cuts the ends of songs.  Observations and trials so far leads me to believe that this is only related to the brewing of playlists.  I also see that the display of the song on the lock screen not display correctly when dragging a playlist. A song ends, the next one will start, but what is showing on the screen is the previous song. For anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds. Then the next song will appear on the screen, and the progress bar is already in the 'good' place.

    Can I charge my iPod Shuffle 4th Gen with a wall charger or do I need to use a computer?

    You can use a wall charger. The following, for example, shows in the section compatibility as being compatible with the iPod Shuffle 4th generation: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=0a8 96cef6682809aaf80e8c3741f09ed6d7df9585e7fc21bb39381e2a99a7f56b6f149e5ab72d8416a9 bfa670e36cc43168558b8b8c033b881948c1230b7156cbe51af44f7fd2b9ab533d7cb453e844ccd1 80b8e71aa7359ff2698b40de39b3b

  • How can I sync my I Pod Nano

    I have an I Pod Nano 6th generation 8GB serial #C8 * model DVY # 689LL.

    I the have not used in years. I have a Windows desktop PC, and I deleted all of the Apple software on it years.

    It seems to me that I used to be able to sync only my I Pod Nano and my I Pod simply going on I Tunes site and signing in and your Apple product would be present on the left side of the page. I don't see that now.

    I also have an I Pod Classic 80 GB.

  • My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen the same song just rehearsals

    I have an Ipod 2nd generation shuffle, and he will never play the song I put on, he would usually play about 6 of the continuously, despite having lots of songs on this subject. I recently restored to factory settings and got 64 songs on it, but he will play only one of them, which she repeats,

    The shuffle uses flash storage.  Flash storage ends by wears.  Thus, the cause may be a hardware problem on your shuffle, especially since a 2nd gen shuffle is about 10 years at this point.

    One thing you can try is to reformat the shuffle outside iTunes store.  This must be done in a particular way.  Are you using a Mac or a Windows PC?
