Can't add songs to shuffle using autofill playlist

Question

4 points

Hi,

I have an iPod shuffle green 2nd generation that I can't add music on it.

I tried to use iTunes on a PC and a MAC with the same issue. iTunes is updated (on PC) at 12.12.7 and shuffle 1.0.4.

I select a playlist in the "autofill from" dropdown and click on autofill.

Then an error message appears : iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod "xxx" because it already contains all the songs in the playlist "xxx".

But the iPod Shuffle is empty. I even tried to restore it.

Thanks for your help!

Windows, Windows 10

Hello Ceelya21,

This page can help provide assistance with managing the iPod shuffle in iTunes: Manage iPod shuffle in iTunes on PC - Apple Support

Are you able to drag and drop the desired songs to the playlist in the sidebar of iTunes? Testing that out can help to see where the issue may be.

If the iPod shuffle isn't set to be managed manually, try the following:

To manually manage audio content on iPod shuffle:

1. In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, and then click the Summary tab.

2. In the Options section, select “Manually manage music.”

3. Click Apply.

When you manage iPod shuffle manually, you must always eject iPod shuffle from iTunes before you disconnect it.

Cheers.
