AC charger for 4th generation Shuffle

Ihave an AC charger which I used to charge a 2nd generation Shuffle. I have purchased a $th generation Shuffle. Will this charger work with it?? Output is 5 volts DC & 500 ma.

the store I found on the takeback site you listed (under Apple authorized Service providers) told me they will echange anything except look alike chargers. I gave in three chargers, look-alike and non-lookalike. They duly registered the serial numbers on the ipad and iphone and said they first have to "book it in" before they can do the exchange. They booked it in ON the October 18, 2013, so I get a call a few days later saying they looked at the chargers but "they are fine".
The takeback site doesn't actually say the charger first has to be deemed eligible, in fact it clearly states: "We are offering this special takeback program for any USB power adapter". Further, "We will ensure that these adapters are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way" seems to be the only stated reason to book them in, not to evaluate eligibiity. The spirit of the takeback in fact is spelt out on the said page when it mentions: "Apple Retail and Apple Authorized Service Providers cannot advise you on the authenticity or safety of your adapter", meaning there is no evaluation just a takeback.
A takeback which didn't happen, which hasn't made me safer, and only creates mistrust and an air of deception.
Please advise, what is the service provider meant to do in my case?

  • Can you charge the 4th generation Shuffle with the USB plug supplied with iPad, iPhone 5?

    Hi has anyone tried this?

    Yes, you can. Any device that can be charged via a USB port on the computer can be charged through an AC adaptor used for other iDevices.

  • Can I use a 3rd and 4th generation shuffle cable to charge and sync a 2nd generation shuffle?

    I have a 2nd generation ipod shuffle that belongs to my sister-in-law, but she cannot find the cable.  I was wondering if I purchased a cable, intended for 3rd or 4th generation shuffles, would it still work?

    No.  It fits, but the connector is different.  This is the official replacement part
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
    There are also third-party replacements that cost less.  Some have a mini-dock, some just have the plug, and some don't even have a cable between the plug for the headphones jack and the USB plug.  Just read the product description to make sure it is for the 2nd gen shuffle. 

  • 4th generation shuffle

    My 4th generation shuffle will no longer charge or be recognized by itunes.  I have the latest itunes updates and my other ipod works fine.  Is there a way to reset this thing?  Thanks

    Are you using the original cable that came with the 4G Shuffle?  Are the connections on each end of the cable nice and snug?  How long have you left it to charge? 
    After leaving it to charge for some time have you tried resetting it?

  • My 4th Generation Shuffle - buttons are permanently disabled

    My 4th Generation Shuffle seems to have buttons that are permanently disabled - I've tried the hold down for 3 secs thing and nothing.
    It charges fine, and shows up in itunes fine too. When it turns on (either shuffled or loop) it goes green, blinks orange 3 times, then 3 times again with a 'click' sound that I assume means it's locking the buttons as they don't work - can't skip tracks or change the volume.
    I've tried holding the play/pause button down, but no green light comes on, even if I hold it down for ages.
    Can someone help please?

    If you have not Reset the shuffle since this problem occurred, first follow this procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you should probably do a Restore in iTunes.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar under DEVICES, and over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  The Restore button is there.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
    If the cause is a software or settings glitch, a Restore should fix it.  If a Restore does not help, there may be a hardware issue.

  • My 4th generation shuffle will not play podcasts. It is set to play in order.  The podcast show on the laptop itunes screen as showing loaded in my shuffle. the type shows up gray. why the new annoying content format?

    My 4th generation shuffle will not play podcasts, even though they show as loaded on the legend on the left on the itunes site.  The shuffle is set to play everything in order. The type on the content is gray, thats strange.  And why the new annoying content format?

  • Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle

    Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle?
    Seems to be a good fit, but my computer doesn't seem to recognise it.

    By "3rd gen charger" are you referring to the USB cable with the
    4 ring audio connector on the other end?
    If so, the answer is again NO...

  • 4th generation shuffle isn't very resistant to sweat?

    I've read several online reviews saying that the 4th generation shuffle stops working after the user has taken it to the gym a few times i.e. sweated on it lightly. Have people been experiencing the same thing? I have a 1st generation one which has lived through intense workouts for over a year with no problems.

    I'd actually say it's the controller that's not resistant to sweat. Which should answer both your questions
    Mine quit (or started diabolically controlling volume, fwd, rev, song info, etc) 15 minutes into the very first run i ever had it on. Let it dry out, all worked find until i ran with it again...Same issues.
    Design might make sense, but execution on materials was hideously poor. Sadly they either deny the issue or just ignore that it's there.
    Mine has been returned and I just use my Gen 2 (until i finally kill that one also).

  • 4th generation shuffle blinks orange constantly when plugged in, why?

    When plugged in, my 4th generation shuffle doesn't ever go to green.  It constantly blinks orange.  It's new, is there a problem, or is this just different from the 2nd generation which I had before?

    It's orange when it's charging, so nothing to worry about that

  • Since they just released iOS 7.0 for the fifth generation, are they going to release anything for 4th generations?

    I need to know if they are releasing a new update for 4th generation iPod touches now that they released iOS 7.0 for 5th gen.

    Very very unlikely
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • I broke my charger for my ipod shuffle 2nd generation, where can I find a new one?

    I can't find a new charger anywhere

    This is the official Apple part
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
    It's somewhat expensive compared to the cost of a brand new shuffle.  There are plenty of third-party replacements that cost less, if you search eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere on something like "shuffle cable."  Some of the third-party cables have a dock and some just have a connector.
    It is VERY important that the product's description says it is for the 2nd gen iPod shuffle.  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles use a cable with a different connector, so it will not work with a 2nd gen shuffle.

  • What is the Charging time for 4th generation iPad when fully discharged?

    Hi,
    I just want to know the 4th generation iPad charging time with 12 volts Charger when fully discharged?
    Thanks,
    Srinivas

    Apple does not publish charging times with various sources, but usually a few hours, like 4-6 hours.  If you charge it overnight you won't notice how long it takes.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation shuffle problem

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and made the awful mistake of hitting shuffle by accident.  It seems to be permanently stuck in that mode now.  How do I turn the blasted shuffle off?  Is there any way to disable it for good?  Some albums just have to be heard in song order.

    With an album playing, tap the album cover until you see the elapsed song time, then tap the shuffle symbol (it's directly under the song time) until it is white.

    Hello stormonyc,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, if no USB ports are availabe you will have to purchase an Apple branded or third party wall charger for it.
    Here is a third party one.
