If you can't get your new Shuffle to work..check this out

My computer is approx. 3-4 years old. After wasting lots of time troubleshooting why my computer wouldn't recogize my iPod, I finally called Apple. They said they thought I had a problem with my USB being too slow. I then called Radio Shack, and they told me the same thing. So I went and bought a new High Speed 2.0 USB ($25 from Radio Shack), and installed it. For the 1st time, the computer recognized the Shuffle! I downloaded the new iPod software, and the newest version of iTunes. I did not use the installation CD that came with the shuffle at all. I installed both programs which I downloaded, and it is working perfectly.
I just thought I'd share this as it may help save someone LOTS of grief and frustration.

I've already done this, to no avail............

    If the shuffle's light does not come ON at all when you connect it to USB, make sure the USB cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document

    Chippy:
    I'll assume you've read the iPod manual. The directions I have seem fairly straightforward - iPod connects to a wireless network when it discovers one. Or, if that option is turned off, you have to manually connect it.
    When it comes to attaching to your router, you will need to know what kind of security the router is using, what the security password is and most important - the router's DHCP function must be activated so the iPod can acquire an IP address.
    If the iPod truly can handle the connection, and you have the necessary information I mentioned, it should connect without a problem. But since you can't connect, you need to review the settings I mentioned.
    It's possible there is some sort of issue with the router and the iPod. But it's my guess that the iPod is not acquiring an IP address because the router is not giving them out.
    Check these things out and post what you find. If we can figure out the answer, your post will be helpful to others who may run into the same problem.

  • HT1719 can't get my ipod shuffle to work in new fiesta

    I collected my new fiesta on sunday 14th Oct 2013, but can't get my ipod shuffle ( 4th generation) to work or sync with the car.
    I am not technical so simple answers would really be appreciated.
    thanks
    Jeannette

    It's possible that your car's audio system is not designed to work with an iPod shuffle.  You should look at the car audio system's documentation to see what types of devices are supported when connected to the USB port on the car audio system.
    An iPod does not "sync" with the car audio system.  The system is only using the device connected to the USB port as a storage device.  It would be the same as connecting a simple USB flash drive, with songs files on it, to that port.  The car audio system reads the song files and does the playing.  The iPod is not doing the playing.  So the question is, does the car audio system know HOW to find song files on an iPod?  You may want to check the settings screen on the car audio system, to see if there is a specific setting that tells it you are connecting an iPod.
    If the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input port (which looks like the headphones jack on the shuffle), you can connect the shuffle (or any device with standard audio output) to the car audio system using something like this
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    and play your shuffle through the car audio system.

  • Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

    I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
    Hey All,
    Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
    At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
    I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
    All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Ken
    I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
    7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
    I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
    Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
    I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
    Any suggestions?

    If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

  • If you can't get your Iphone to sync or show up in itunes look here!!!!!!!

    FOUND THE ANSWER!!
    Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
    What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
    1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
    and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
    matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
    2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
    o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
    o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
    o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
    You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
    Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
    name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
    If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
    been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
    3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
    o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
    Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
    o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
    ‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
    4. Update the driver:
    o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
    ‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
    o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
    o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
    ‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
    In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
    containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
    above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
    then click Next.
    You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
    installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
    to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
    If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
    http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
    And putting it here:
    C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

    It's still not working. I went through every step and still can't get my Iphone to show up on my itunes.
    Though I did find that the USB driver is not listed under any devices...

  • I changed my password for hotmail on my home pc, and when I try to use it on my IPhone 3g, it keeps saying it's not valid. How can I get my new password to work on my phone?

    I changed my hotmail password on my home computer, and now when I try to get email on my phone and use my new password, it says it's not correct. I just did an update a few days ago, but still can't access my email on my phone.  Any suggestions???

    You shoulcn't, but download and use the free app My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts before you try.  It will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email which you send to yourself.  If you somehow lose your contacts by deleting the account you can later open this email on your phone and tap the attachement to re-import your contacts.

  • How can I get my new camcorder to work with iMovie?

    Hey
    I just bought the new Panasonic SDR-SW20 and it doesn't work with a Mac.
    At least that is what I read at amazon.com.
    The file types it records in are .MOD files. Can these be converted?
    And if they can, how do I do that and what program do I need?
    Could someone maybe explain to me how I can get it to work with iMovie?
    Thanks.
    Bye Sandra

    Hi Sandy,
    Yes, you bought the wrong format of cam for working easily with iMovie HD6. Your cam records in MPEG2, which will need to be converted to DV for use in iMovie. You might want to read what the following page says about that cam's format.
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-SDR-SW20-Camcorder-Review-35018/F ormat.htm
    It doesn't give a good review of the video quality and that will only get worse with the conversion necessary to work with it in HD6. If returning the cam for something more suitable is possible, unless you have bought this solely for its underwater capabilities, that might be your best bet. The best cam for use with iMovie HD versions is a miniDV cam using firewire, to capture to your Mac.
    If you want to persue the workarounds, you will need to get MPEGStreamclip (free-Google it) and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 plug-in (cost $20.00), available at the Apple downloads site.
    Hope this helps you.

  • I'm stumped, can't get the new ipod to work.

    I bought a new ipod 30g after my mini started to die. I had no problems with the mini or itunes. Now I wan't to add the new ipod to my computer and I can't get it to work. I installed the new software and registered the ipod. But when I connect it to the cable it doesn't come up on itunes. So I guess what I'm wondering is if I have to uninstall the old itunes then reinstall the new software? And if I do can I keep my library?
    Is there a way to have 2 ipods on 1 computer?
    I'm not very computer savy and I've tried everything that I can think of.

    Sure, easiest way to backup, is to move the songs onto another hard drive if you have another hard drive and enough space.
    I burn data CDs and DVDs because lots more will fit on one disc than audio CDs.
    Backing Up Music Files in iTunes
    Always good to have a backup!
    I've reinstalled numerous times and not lost my songs.
    It is also a good idea to back up your library files so you can save your playlists, ratings, etc.
    What are the iTunes library files?

  • Iphone not working properly, can i get a new one for free if this is the first time it's happened?

    The other night I went to a friend's house and my phone was sitting on the table.  Someone bumped into the table, causing a drink to spill all over my iPhone 4S.  Now, the volume buttons and the volume itself no longer works.  As well as my speaker phone, it's very quiet and fuzzy.  All my ringtones and notifications are extremely quiet and fuzzy as well.  This is my first iPhone ever, and was wondering that since it's my first and I've never ruined any other ones...would the Apple store provide me a new phone for free and be able to transfer all my data to the new phone?

    Warranty does not cover user damage.
    If you have AppleCare+,  you can get it replaced for $49US.
    Otherwise it is $199US to get it replaced.

  • You can't change your Cell Menu voltages? Voltages greyed out?

    Use the +/- keys by the number pad, or use the page up and page down keys.
    This is so we don't have to keep repeating it...
    P.S It's written in your manual!

    Hi , I think Where people get confused with this is. when you go to set the voltage it is greyed out. when you read the menu to the right it tells you about the white ,red and grey. grey being you cannot do anything about it. And white you can adjust. When this post said to highlight it does not actually highlight. If you scroll down to what you want to adjust, leave it rest there and press + or - on the numbered keypad and you can change it to what you want to. Sometimes a Hey he's stupid Explanation Might be Needed. LOL
