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

But if the iPod is still currently on your computer, you can download the files of the song.  But not with iTunes.  By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  However, he third methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few useful links, including a CNET article on the subject.

    Hi there 101titan101,

    Looks like you have some questions about the iPod shuffle and headphones compatible for it. You should be able to find a compatible game helmet:

    http://www.Apple.com/us/search/headphones?src=globalnav

    Some have distance built in as doing the EarPods, and some don't be so sure to check whether or not they do if this is a feature you're looking for. Keep in mind also that link is the US store, so if you're not in her WE then you will have to search for "headphones" in your Apple Store country online. Simply go to http://Store.Apple.com/fr , you should get to your country store.

    As for your second question, I don't know exactly what you're asking. Can you elaborate a little bit with some more information about what you ask the subject?

  • I have ipod shuffle 2nd generation and need new charger (dock) can still buy these?

    I have ipod shuffle 2nd generation and need new charger (dock) can still buy these?

    Apple no longer sells the official replacement of the USB cable with the "cradle".  Do not buy the replacement USB docking cable for the current 4th gen (3rd generation) iPod shuffle, because it does not work with 2nd gen shuffle (the connector is different).

    There are 3 replacements of party, for example

    http://www.Amazon.com/eForCity-Sync-Charger-cradle-shuffle/DP/B0042EB270/

    There are other products similar, including some who do not have the cradle, and some who do not even have a cable (like this one)

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/USB-data-sync-charger-cable-for-Apple-iPod-shuffle-2nd-G balances - / 221546931454

    Ensure that the product is described as being the shuffle gen 2  I'd go with one that has a docking station, because it maintains the shuffle at a constant specific position compared to the socket, which can be important for a shuffle gen 2.

  • 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 2nd generation

    I downloaded songs from Apple's music on my computer but they still not download on my iPod Shuffle 2nd generation. Help!

    Downloads of Apple's music service are written songs, not owned songs.  You cannot load them onto an iPod (except iPod touch).  These song files use DRM (copy protection) as required by the content producers.  During playback of music by Apple downloads, the unit checks the status of your subscription to Apple's music through the Internet.  iPod shuffle doesn't have an Internet connection.

    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.

  • iPod Shuffle not shuffle... (2nd generation)

    Hi guys,.

    I had my little cheap 1 GB Shuffle for years. He has not seen much use in the last year, but turns on everytime I want to use it, not to deliver. Today, however, I got a little problem that I can't fix.

    I loaded 10 x one hour podcasts on it, they have two synchronized fine. The iPod appears in iTunes, it charges fine, it connects etc etc.

    When I log out and click on play with shuffle switch activated, the LED flashes: Orange - green - Orange - green - Orange. All are quick flashes. However, when I flip the switch on 'Continues' play, it plays perfectly. Therefore, it seems that there is a problem with random mode. I reset the iPod, I've restored in iTunes, but still no joy. I was wondering if it was too much, so I went right down to two podcasts in the end, but still no luck. It will shuffle "regular" songs well, I loaded 15 on and they mixed very well (between 3 and 6 minutes).

    For reference, Disk Mode is not enabled. Is there a size limit of individual file for the songs on the shuffle?

    See you soon,.

    Dan

    (NB: all iTunes, iPod and OSX software are completely up to date).

    I think it's "as planned."

    Your shuffle looks like a 2nd gen shuffle (+ clip), because it has a switch for shuffle / in order.  Do you have only these podcasts on the shuffle, or a mixture of the podcasts and songs?  If it's only the podcasts, is perhaps the reason for the flashing light show (which means 'error').  According to me, the only software the shuffle does not play podcasts when it is set to shuffle (only songs).  When you have a mixture of songs and podcasts on the shuffle, this prevents a future podcast whenever you want just for random playback of songs.  And it works for most people, because you usually want to play podcasts in the order, not mixed.  So, if you had only podcasts on the shuffle, using the shuffle setting means there is nothing to play, so that you get the error lights.  But no error, when you set your shuffle to play in order.

    When I used my shuffle 1st gen for playback of podcasts, I loaded podcast episodes so that they were at the top of the list (as seen by iTunes).  I also had my favorite songs on it.  To listen to the podcasts, I set the switch to play in order and quickly down the central button three times.  That reset the shuffle to the top of the list (then), where the podcasts.  To listen to songs, I put it in shuffle mode.

    Can I charge my iPod Shuffle 4th Gen with a wall charger or do I need to use a computer?

    You can use a wall charger. The following, for example, shows in the section compatibility as being compatible with the iPod Shuffle 4th generation: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=0a8 96cef6682809aaf80e8c3741f09ed6d7df9585e7fc21bb39381e2a99a7f56b6f149e5ab72d8416a9 bfa670e36cc43168558b8b8c033b881948c1230b7156cbe51af44f7fd2b9ab533d7cb453e844ccd1 80b8e71aa7359ff2698b40de39b3b

    The foregoing generally comes with iPhones, but if you have a charger which comes with an iPad, which can also be used with the Shuffle: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=0a 896cef6682809aaf80e8c3741f09ed6d7df9585e7fc21bb39381e2a99a7f56b6f149e5ab72d8416a 9bfa670e36cc43168558b8b8c033b881948c1230b7156cbe51af44f7fd2b9ab533d7cb453e844ccd 180b8e71aa7359ff2698b40de39b3b
