iPod/iTunes idiot. Help requested. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 01/12/2009 06:20:39 PM
So, I have an iPod and iTunes, but I probably shouldn't. I am what would likely be considered a very, very, very basic user I drag stuff into or delete stuff out of my library, plug in, and let it all sort itself out and figure out what needs to go on or come off the device.

My problem is that I just bought a 2nd iPod (a Shuffle), and I want to be able to only put certain songs from my library onto it.

How do I do that? I'm terrified that when I get home and plug this thing in, it's going to automatically put all my songs/podcasts on it. What do I need to do to make sure that doesn't happen? Ideally I can still use that methodology with my first iPod, but if that can't happen because of how I want to handle the 2nd one, I understand.

Any advice or help would be appreciated...

Thank you!

When do I do that? Before I plug the new guy in? - 01/12/2009 06:56:46 PM 548 Views
No. Plug the new guy in first so iTunes recognizes it. - 01/12/2009 07:08:37 PM 565 Views
