Adapter from Car to ipod shuffle

Do you know of an adapter that will allow the iPod shuffle to be used in a BMW,328? There is an flat looking adapter coming out of the audio part (similiar in size to the iPhone) that looks like it is supposed to input right into a Ipod unit. But... the shuffle has the little mini jack. I have an USB adapter. Is there one that will fit into the car adapter?

Probably the cable on your car stereo is for the dock connector found on normal (full sized) iPods. To the best of my knowledge, there are no adapters to go from the headphone jack data connection of the shuffle to a full dock connector.
Does your car stereo have an AUX input that uses a headphone sized jack? If so, you can always play the Shuffle through that with a 1/8" stereo to 1/8" stereo patch cord, but you would still have to control the iPod on the iPod itself and it won't charge either. But should play fine.

  • Cannot transfer music from iTunes to iPod Shuffle

    Still having difficulty getting my head around how this iTunes stuff works.  I logged into iTunes and redeemed a $15 gift card by entering the code on the back.  I saw the $15 balance added to my account.  I proceeded to buy two songs, but now cannot get them onto the iPod Shuffle device.  I'm using a new Windows 8 PC and the iPod does not appear as a device within in iTunes.  So I remove the Shuffle from the USB port and take it to the older Windows 7 PC, plug it in, and now it shows up in iTunes on that machine.  However, when the two new songs I purchased don't show up in the Library there so when I try to Sync with the Shuffle, no new songs come over.
    On the Windows 8 PC, I see the two new songs along with three earlier purchased songs in the Library.  However, only the three earlier songs display the "Download from iCloud" icon next to them.  I'm guessing this means that the two new purchased songs only reside locally on the Windows 8 PC (where the purchase was initiated) and therefore cannot yet be seen from the Windows 7 PC.  If this is the case, how do I get the two new songs into iCloud so that I can transfer them to the Shuffle from the Windows 7 PC?  Or better yet, is there a way to get iTunes to see the Shuffle through Windows 8 so I can just transfer it from there?
    This is all far too confusing than it needs to be.  For a company that touts its "It Just Works" slogan, this experience is extremely disappointing.

    After some period of time, I eventually was able to see the newly purchased songs in the Library from the Windows 7 PC (not sure if there is typically such a delay).  I then finally figured out that I needed to click the "Download from iCloud" icons to manually initiate the download of the two new songs to the iTunes repository on that PC.  At this point, I found that re-running Sync finally completed the transfer of the songs to the iPod Shuffle.
    Still curious about why the device isn't detected on the Windows 8 PC, though.  But apparently it's a common issue as I get a lot of hits on this when I Google it.

  • How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

    How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

    If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything.  See here for more details.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
    If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

  • Song not transferring from itunes to ipod shuffle?

    New songs not syncing to Ipod shuffle.  Getting message on 1 of the 2 songs -"cannot transfer to IPOD because  an unknown error occurred.

    Does the song play properly when you play it in iTunes (on your computer)?
    Was this a download from the iTunes Store?  If not, do a Get Info (in iTunes) on the song.  On the Summary tab of the Info window, what does it say for Kind and Bit Rate?

  • How to get songs from itunes to ipod shuffle

    I just seem to be having problems finding anything I download in itunes on my ipod shuffle. I am not techo savy at all!

    If your shuffle is 3rd or 4th (current) gen, here's how to use the automatic syncing approach, which is often more convenient than the manual method.  You probably need to set up (or update) the shuffle's Music tab in iTunes.
    Select the shuffle in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync your shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your entire iTunes music library fits on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library (and skip to next paragraph).  Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, create a selection of songs to sync to the shuffle.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, you can create a new regular playlist in iTunes (call it "iPod Songs").  Put all songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist (including those recent downloads).  On the Music tab, find and checkmark that one playlist under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, the selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the shuffle, replacing its existing content.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library, related to the Music tab settings, sync automatically the next time you connect the shuffle, or when you click the Sync button.  So, if you have a playlist with your "iPod songs," just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes syncs the same changes to the shuffle at the next opportunity.

  • I want to transfer songs from an old IPOD shuffle to my IPhone, how do I do this?

    I have an old white IPOD shuffle that I want to download the songs off of to my IPhone, how do I do that?  Itunes doesn't seem to recognize the Shuffle anymore? 

    Itunes doesn't seem to recognize the Shuffle anymore?
    If the shuffle is broken, that will be a problem.  The first step is to get the shuffle to work, so that it is recognized by the system.
    When you connect it with iTunes running, it does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?  If you quit iTunes and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?  When connected, does the orange light blink on and off?

  • Using my ipod shuffle together with my car stereo

    I tried to use a normal cable o listen to my ipod shuffle in the stereo I have in my car and it didn't work. Is there a special cable or it only works with the its own headset?

    Hi-
    From the Apple Support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3472:
    When a standard headphone or audio accessory is connected, you can initiate audio playback by simply switching iPod shuffle from the OFF position to the play in order or shuffle position. The iPod shuffle should be in the OFF position for at least three seconds before switching it back on. iPod shuffle will resume playback of the content that was previously being played at a fixed volume level. This volume level cannot be adjusted from the iPod itself. If iPod shuffle is connected to external speakers or a car stereo, volume adjustment may be possible from those devices.
    iPod shuffle will pause audio playback when the device is switched off or when the audio accessory is disconnected
    Hope this helps

    Comment if this happen to you or not or just comment if you have a question.

    If you did a Restore in iTunes, and it continues to have the problem, if it is covered under warranty or AppleCare, you should probably contact Apple tech support directly (not the users forum).  If you have an Apple Store nearby, a good way to do this is to make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.  You don't have to have a reservation, but you can make one at the store's web page

  • HT1477 Good evening.  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into the Aux In plug to connect to my car radio??  Thank you.

    Good evening,  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into aux 1 outlet in my car to go through radio???

    It's not really an "adapter."  It's a cable with a mini-stereo plug at both ends.  Here's an example
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    Connect it from the shuffle's headphones jack to the auxilliary audio input on car audio system.  You called it an "aux 1 outlet," but it's really an audio INPUT, correct?  DO NOT connect it there, if that is an audio OUTPUT.  It needs to be an audio INPUT.

  • My iPod Shuffle is not charging from USB

    Hi,
    My iPod Shuffle is perfectly operationnal when connected to my laptop thru a USB port.  I can see it with iTunes et it syncs perfectly.  The only problem, it does not charge.  I see the yellow light flashing for a few seconds, while it syncs and then nothing.
    I run Windows 8.1 on an ASUS laptop.  I have disabled the USB suspension.  Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
    When I connect my iPod Shuffle to a desktop computer (running Windows Vista), everything is fine.
    Any clue?
    Thx

    I don't know where "fix" this will be (Microsoft, Asus, or Apple), but this may be what's going on...
    When an iPod is NOT set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing.  The rest of the time, the iPod's disk is not mounted.  There may be a "feature" on your laptop, and/or in Windows 8, that attempts to save energy by putting the USB port into a low-power mode, when the connected storage device (the iPod in this case) is not mounted.  When iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk after syncing, it may look like an external storage device that no longer needs full power, even though an iPod needs full power to charge its battery.
    When an iPod IS set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously.  Therefore, the USB port stays at full-power mode and the iPod's battery is able to charge.
    I know you said
    I have disabled the USB suspension.  Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
    but maybe that setting is not working properly (as it relates to iTunes/iPod), and that's the cause.
    A desktop computer does not run on battery power, so it may not have this feature; saving energy is not a high priority when the power source is the wall outlet, not a battery.  Or, Windows Vista may not have this feature.  Therefore, the USB port gets full power whether the connected storage device is mounted or not.
    One additional test you can try is to see if it makes a difference if the laptop's power adapter is connected or disconnected.  When the power adapter is connected, the laptop has "unlimited" access to energy from the wall outlet (like the desktop), so maybe the USB ports stay at full power all the time.
