Hello,


I'm trying to sync music to a 2gb iPod Shuffle without itunes. Reason I'm not using itunes is because I have my own iPod Touch and its trying to sync my entire library to the shuffle. Tried using podshare, But keep getting a message on the ipod saying "Please use itunes to sync music to this ipod", Anyone know any good alternatives?

Thanks

  • Assuming you are using widows set up another user account and log onto that when you want to connect the shuffle to itunes.
    We have three different ipods connecting to one pc tis way.

    Open itunes first, then edit, preferences, devices, then tick 'prevent ipod and iphone from syncing automatically'.

    Then make a playlist for your new ipod shuffle and under the ipod shuffle settings click the playlist you want added.
