Re: Installing music to iPod shuffle Gen 2. manually

2009-06-19 Thread Jonas Ulrich

either that or find a friend or someone who can download iTunes for
you. Trust me there is a huge difference between itunes 4 and 8.

You can with iTunes 8.2 (the version I am running). I am not sure if  
this will work with iTunes 4.1, but it should. Why don't you try?

 I don't have broadband, or the latest iTunes, just the version 4.1.

Is your internet too slow to update?

 I open iTunes, I put in a Music CD, and imported songs, to the
 Library, and about a dozen tracks (songs) shows up in library, can  
 I drag  drop the songs into
 the iPod Shuffle Gen 2?

Hmmm. You should be able to access your iTunes music folder by going  
to your Home Folder, then to the Music Folder. Inside there will be  
iTunes, then inside iTunes, you navigate to iTunes Music. If you  
really imported your songs, they will be in there, and you can copy  
them to your iPod.

No. The Shuffle Gen2 requires iTunes 7.4 or later.

Just dropping the songs on the iPod icon will store them as files, as  
if it were just a flash drive, not within the iPod playback structure.

You need to find some way of updating your iTunes.

iTunes is large, 45-50 mb, but set it to download when you go to bed  
and it should be there by the time you wake up. I've even downloaded  
big combo OS updates that way when I had a dial-up connection.

Alternatively find a friend or library with internet access and  
download it to a flash drive. If you donwload iTunes on a windows  
machine, the default download is the windows version, be sure you  
specify the Mac version.

You CAN use the iPod itself to bootstrap this. Take it to your friend/ 
library, along with the dock, and save the downloaded iTunes installer  
onto the iPod,bring it home, move the installer to your hard drive   
and you're good to go. Update iTunes, synch your iPod and voila': music.
