Cannot change to manual sync on my iPod Shuffle.
Cannot change to manual sync on my iPod Shuffle. I have Restored and followed the instructions (mentioned below) to do this, but I keep getting an error that I need to set to manual sync. Writing this from a Win XP computer, but I had the same problem with my Win 7 computer.
I tried these steps:
- Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iTunes.
- Highlight your device
- Select Edit in the upper left hand corner of the iTunes screen.
- Select Preferences from the dropdown menu
- On the Devices tab, make sure that “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” has been selected.
Tried this too:
If you prefer not to use Autofill to sync music to your iPod shuffle, you can manually sync music instead.
- Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iTunes.
- Select the option to "Manually manage music" from the iPod Summary tab of the iPod settings screen.
This option actually does not appear for my Shuffle.
