3rd generation iPod Shuffle earbuds

Hi, i would like to know if there's any earphone compatible with the 3rd generation iPod Shuffle! I can't find anything on the web. Thanks!

Apple's current headphones (EarPods) do not work with the 3rd gen shuffle. You'll need to find headphones with compatible remote control buttons, such as the previous Apple headphones. Or, you can use an "adapter" that has compatible remote control buttons, for example

There are several products of this type. You can then connect any standard headphones.

Recently downloaded new ITunes. Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Help????

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Can I connect my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to external speakers

Can I connect my 3rd generation IPod shuffle to external speakers? When I plug it into an external speaker, it stops playing and I don't hear any music. The controls eg. Volume, play etc is on the earplug cord. Thanks

Not for more than 10% off the price of a new one. You're better off selling it to a third-party.

Just updated to itunes 10 and now I can't manually get podcasts to play in my music line up on my 3rd generation ipod shuffle

I just updated to Itunes 10 and now when I drag a podcast to play on my 3rd Generation Ipod Shuffle, the podcasts won't play as as part of the music list. I know you must add the podcasts manually by dragging them and dropping. I did do that. I know that you can only use the Ipod in order not random. So, it must be a problem with the new software?
Thanks.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

3rd generation ipod shuffle voiceover and volume error

The voiceover on my ipod activates of its own accord, repeatedly, in the middle of songs (sometimes half a dozen times). It either gives me the name of the song or says 'playlist - one'. After this happens the volume of the music decreases to an inaudible level and I'm unable to increase it again manually (using the switch on my headphones). Sometimes it rights itself when the ipod has been turned off for a while but this time it seems to be stuck. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Or is it just kaput? Thanks.

It sounds more like your headphones might be bad; there is a short circuit in the control that's sending random signals without any button presses.
This is the 3rd gen iPod shuffle, so I guess the iPod itself does not have any buttons. If you can get it to play at a normal volume, you might connect a regular set of headphones (without any buttons) to see if there is still a problem with volume and voiceover. Or, if there is an Apple Store nearby, take it to the Genius Bar and ask if you can use one of their headphones to test it. If it works properly, you can just buy new headphones.

3rd Generation iPod Shuffle Not Recognized by iTunes 11.1.1

I am trying to have iTunes recognize my iPod Shuffle 3rd generation. It worked fine until I downloaded iTunes 11.1.1. I am using OS X version 10.8.5. Does this latest version of iTunes not work with my shuffle any longer?

It should work fine. I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

I have a 3rd generation iPod shuffle. I lost my earphones few days back. Now I want to purchase one with songs control in the earphone. I asked Apple customer center, they told Apple has stopped manufacturing those. Please help me in getting one.

I want to buy iPod shuffle earphones with the songs control in it.

Hi Nidhi Singh ,
To overcome your doubts, take a look at these third party headphones that show that they are compatible with your iPod shuffle.

Playing Audiobooks on 3rd generation iPod Shuffle

Every time I come back to an audiobook I have previously been listening to it does not restart in the position I stopped it. The audiobook has been 'wound back' by 20-30 minutes or maybe 10% of the length of the audiobook. This makes it really frustrating to listen to long audiobooks.
Is there any setting I can change or any other solution?

Check the settings under options for the audiobook you are using. Make sure the media type is audiobook and also confirm that the checkbox to remember the spot where you left off is checked.

3rd generation iPod touch syncing issues

The last time I tried to sync my iTunes account through a wired connection between my Macbook Pro and 3rd generation iPod touch, I had some major issues.
First: It deleted the YouTube, iBooks, Netflix, Dropbox, Facebook, and Kindle apps from my iPod and will not let me reinstall them because they are "not compatible with this iPod." This is really annoying. It means I can never sync my computer with my iPod again. The only way I can get those apps on my iPod is if I go to the store in the iPod and download each one individually.
Second: Some songs that I have recently acquired will not sync with my iPod because they are not the right format or something. I never had issues with this before. This song is in the same format as some songs I aready have on the iPod.
Solutions I have tried: I tried reinstalling iTunes and it didn't help. I tried reseting my iPod to factory settings and starting with a "new iPod," twice. This did not help either.
My Question: Is this an issue because my iPod is out of date and means that I am just SOL or can it be fixed?

The shuffle and iPod touch use different drivers.
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

No, they are different. If you look at the replacement part for the 4th gen shuffle's USB cable

it says it's only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.

TS1369 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle with Windows 8?

How do you get a 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle compatible with Windows 8? (it works on just fine in earlier versions)
If you plug it in through a USB connection it blinks orange/green really really fast. It is not recognized neither by Itunes or Windows (PC), Not recognized nor taking any charge.
I first thought it just came to the end of its life, but then plugging it in with my old laptom (Windows XP) and another laptop (Widows Vista) it worked just fine.
I have the newest version of all my software, so this has to be a driver compatibility issue, the question has Apple solved it yet?

I asked about the USB docking cable because some folks who also have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle were trying to use the cable from those shuffles with a 2nd gen shuffle. Or they bought a replacement part that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. It fits, but the connector is different, so it does not work.
You have determined that the shuffle and its cable work properly when connected to a different computer. Since the Windows 8 computer is a new computer that was not used with this shuffle before, the cause could be related to the computer's hardware or software.
As a test, if you have another device that is similar to an iPod, such as a USB flash drive or a mini external hard drive that is powered by the USB port (not something low-power like a mouse or keyboard), connect it to the computer's USB port to confirm the port does generally work for other things.
If the USB port is confirmed to work for other devices, if you have a USB hub, as another test, connect the hub to the USB port. Perferably, the hub is the type that is self-powered (has its own power supply). Connect the shuffle to the hub to see if that makes any difference if the hub is between the iPod and the computer.

How do I format my 3rd gen iPod Shuffle to use HFS format?

How do I format my 3rd gen iPod Shuffle to use HFS format?
I tried restoring from iTunes and I did not see any option to format it in HFS. After restore, the iPod is still using FAT32. I used the Disk Utility in 10.6.2 to format it in HFS. But, iTunes told me that I cannot use the iPod and forced me to do a restore, which formatted my iPod back in FAT32.
Is HFS not supported any more? I really do not like to use FAT32.
Thanks for your help.

iPods do not get infected.
Even if it did, plugging an "infected" iPod into a Mac would have no affect on the Mac.
I expected support for HFS+.
Bummer.
Previous generation shuffles did have that support.
All iPod shuffles have only been FAT32 as formatted by iTunes.
You can format them as HFS+ using Disk Utility and use them as a thumb drive but they will not work as an iPod until you Restore them in iTunes (to FAT32).

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable). A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle. And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.
