I don't have a shuffle, but after you've plugged it in and it's synced, does it appear in the Source list on the left side of iTunes? If so, can you select the iPod, then click the…

Yeah, I have a 2G iPod and use manual updating with that. There is an option to turn off auto syncing but whats different with this iPod than with any other iPod it has auto updati…

I thought the preferences to turn off auto-updating worked on the shuffle too. Have you looked? As for the switch? I'll have to get back to you - I'm not getting mine until next m…

The option I find useful is to leave the shuffle in your iTunes menu/list even when it's not plugged in. It just sits there like a playlist so you can add/delete/autofill as much …

I don't understand. Just tell it not to sync when it asks you. My slider actually works pretty well. I think I am one of the few, although I'm surprised they didn't put a few groo…
