  Run the downloaded installation program to install iTunes 12.  Launch iTunes and connect the old iPod shuffle to a USB port.  Although the iPod is old, it works with the latest version of iTunes (as long as it is functional).  The shuffle will appear in iTunes as a button on the device, on the horizontal bar that runs through the iTunes window.  See below for the screenshot of the window of my iTunes (on the upper left), showing the device for a 1st shuffle button (circled in red) gen.

• I have an OLD generation of iPod Shuffle.

  I have an old iPod Shuffle.

  It is no longer holds a charge and so died.

  My biggest concern is that I've got tons of music on the Shuffle, and it is not saved anywhere on my computer.

  I spoke with Apple, Best Buy and a local computer expert on the opening of the iPod to at least extract music files, but no one can or will do.

  Anyone know of someone who can open the iPod, maybe install a battery and transfer music files on?

  Thank you.

  The iPod always appear in iTunes or on your computer as a USB storage device when it is connected?  Shuffle can be opened, but the battery is hard to change, because everything is very low and the battery is soldered to the logic board.  Here you can see an illustrated repair guide

• That means a green light flashing on iPod Shuffle 4th Gen?

  When you listen to songs on my iPod Shuffle 4th gen, the LED flashes green (connected to the helmet, not the USB port on the computer).  I thought it was supposed to stay green. What does a flashing green light?  Thank you.

  When you play the shuffle, the light usually indicates the level of battery charge.  Green , fresh strong (I think that more than 25%).  He goes to the orangeand then Red (reduced rate).  While playing songs, he should not stay ON or flashes continuously, unless you press the control buttons.

  There is no 'upgrade' program an iPod shuffle (except to buy a new one for $49).  However, you now have a 4th gen iPod shuffle.  The current version is still 4th gen, except that Apple has added a few new choices of colors in 2015.

• iPod shuffle 2nd generation will not be a link with itunes

  I just brought a used ipod shuffle 2nd generation and I can't seem to associate with my itunes account dosnt see toward the top in the list of devices? It binds with laptop and with the car but can't put mt on her music and her full load of expensive! and bon Jovi show!

  any advice will be welcome tried alternative lead? Potty

  Cheap and good jovi...  That IS indeed a serious problem.    But at least the iPod still plays music, so its battery is OK.

  You use the USB cable supplied with 2nd gen iPod?  It is long with a cradle at the end of the shuffle.  The replacement of home cable shuffle Apple sells currently is to shuffle 3rd and 4th generation and does not work with 2nd gen shuffle (connector is different).

  There are third party replacement cables, but they must be described as 2nd gen shuffle.  And they tend to be cheap and of poor quality, then this might be the problem here.

  If you have the right type of cable, when you connect it to the USB of your computer, look at the little light the shuffle.  Blink initially when it is connected?  It turn on, but remain solid (not flashing)?  There is No light at all when connected?

  Also, are you using a Mac or a Windows PC?  If Windows, which free?

• iPod Shuffle (4th generation 2012) bad songs deleted

  Recently, my father gave me his iPod Shuffle, and I wanted to change a part of the music on it. I connected the connected device to iTunes, has given the permissions of my laptop, and well as the device and his music appears, I cannot change anything and can not find the file on my computer. I've seen other issues similar to this and tried their responses, but so far nothing has worked. Any advice?

  Hey Copperdog555,

  Looks like you are having problems with your iPod shuffle syncing newly received with your iTunes library. Please make sure that you are running the latest version of iTunes by checking the updates in your App store. If you don't have any music in your iTunes library, try to add the music to the library first, and then try to sync with the iPod shuffle. Once the synchronization was successful, it will erase all songs currently on the device and replace it with what you have added to the iTunes library. The links below will help you get this done.

  Get the latest version of iTunes

• My ipod shuffle 4g suddenly off automatically? !!

  Hello. I have an ipod shuffle 4g mid 2015. When I hold the "voiceover" button in order to change my playlist button and press "play/pause", my ipod turns off automatically (sometimes, not always), but after a few seconds, when I turn it on, it works. I don't understand why this is happening. Can you please help me with this and tell me what is the problem and how to fix it? Thank you.

  Hello siesam,

  I understand that your iPod shuffle is sometimes turn off unexpectedly when using VoiceOver. In such a situation, the first point of departure would be to reset your iPod shuffle by placing the switch on the device to the OFF (with the hidden green band) position, wait ten seconds, and then slide the power switch back to the position WE.

  If it does not stabilize your iPod, please visit the iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ.

  1. Disconnect iPod shuffle from your computer (if connected).
  2. Set the switch on iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that, when the iPod shuffle is off, the Green band of the switch is not visible.
     

     1st generation	2nd generation	3rd generation	4th generation

  3. Wait five seconds. For iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generations), wait ten seconds.
  4. Put it on the play in order or the shuffle position. The green stripe will be visible in both positions. For iPod shuffle (2nd and 4th generations), slide the power switch on (and you can see the Green band).

  iPod shuffle is now reset. If you have been reset as part of some troubleshooting steps, continue with these steps now. For the General troubleshooting steps, see the iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ.
