Hi All, I looked at itunes help, and discovered that I had made a huge mistake. In actuality, both Autofill and copy and paste are working fine, both in Windows and on the Mac. The mistake I made was thinking that unchecking Sync music on the Music tab of the iPod was the same thing as che

I wonder if nothing else, perhaps a applescript can be written? Something like 1. Select songs you want to have on iPod. 2. Run the appleScript to add to iPod. I would expect this would only be about 4 lines of AppleScript I currently don't have a iPod to play with, but if you want me to look

HI Marie, Interesting. I chose to erase and sync when I connected my iPod, which I had synced with another computer first. I then stopped it from syncing and made sure Sync Music was unchecked. This should make the iPod as close as possible to starting out fresh. I selected a track, press

I have to disagree with you on one point. The ability to add a song with the contextual menu to a playlist with your ipod's name is still available on the mac. On Aug 18, 2009, at 4:51 AM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: > > Hi, > > I've been experimenting with PCs today, and it turns out that Aut

Hi Anna, Here is two methods to manually add songs to your iPod. I have an iPOd Nano 4G and using this method with iTunes on the Mac works like a charm: When you set up your iPOd, iTunes in some cases creates a playlist named (the name of your iPod)-selection. iTunes might already have fil

Hello Anna, While I haven't used any iPod Shuffle since the first generation Shuffle, before iTunes 8 added copy and paste capabilities it was possible to manually move tracks onto the iPod with VoiceOver's drag and drop. For example, you could select multiple tracks from a library (either co

Hi, I've been experimenting with PCs today, and it turns out that Autofill no longer exists as an option for the third generation Shuffle or the 4th generation Nano in Windows either. Furthermore, I can't copy and paste anything to either of these iPods either on a Mac or a PC. When I cop

Hello, You can copy and paste tracks in iTunes onto an iPod since iTunes version 8 (the first version to be made accessible for Windows Screen readers). If you copy and paste a file onto an iPod that's set to autosync, such an iPod Nano 4G (or other models), it will immediately turn that

Hi, As near as I can tell, Autofill is available on the Mac for the second generation iPod Shuffle, but not for either the third generation iPod Shuffle or the larger iPods. Is that right? If not, how do I access these features? It seems odd that iTunes would have features in Windows that
