Apple iPod Shuffle - more like iPod Shafted am I ri

Take a look at that piece of crap here : http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
Creative came out with the same thing a year ago.
It's smaller
It has LCD display
It has FM (muvo TX)
It has Equalizer
Okay, so the battery power isn't much but so what?

Actually, I never heard of MP3 players until I expressed a desire to get an Ipod; I thought the two were completely separate and different. However, someone explained to me that an Ipod was just one brand of an MP3 player (just as a Walkman is one brand of personal stereo player), and from there I looked for the machine I liked best, regardless of brand.
So, I'm sure there are some people out there who are reasonable enough that, once they find out that the only thing unique about an Ipod is the brand name, they'll search for the brand they feel is the best, regardless of "hip" status.

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

Frankly just about any headset with the proper size connection will likely work. We like ear buds with soft coverings so even when we get a hard headset with a player we swap them out. While Apple might just possibly give you a set for free since they are not an expensive item, loss is not covered by warranty. If you're a long drive from an Apple Store it might cost you more in fuel and vehicle wear and tear than going to a local store and buying a comfortable replacement.

With my iPod Touch I need to reboot the wi-fi about half the time when accessing wi-fi connected apps, more like 80 percent when using Viggle. Irritating.

My iPod Touch has a quirky wi-fi connection. About half the time I need to go to settings and reboot the wi-fi to use apps like weather and mail, more like 80 percent with Viggle. It is irritating. Is it an iPod software problem? I don't have this problem with other platforms.

Do you have this problem when connected to other networks?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If you ony have the problem with your network that indicates a problem with your router.

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."

The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What is the new iPod shuffle slate like

Hi, just wondering what the new iPod shuffle
Is like the black slate one..?

Nothing silly about it if you want it, and if it suits your purposes or uses. Your choice really - the only one you need satisfy or justify the extra purchase to is yourself.
I've had iPhones for years, but I also have my old iPod Nano - lives stuck in the docking slot of my Sony mini-stereo most of the time. On long driving trips I'll take it to plug into the car's AUX port instead of the iPhone as I can leave it plugged in the whole trip, even when I stop and take the iPhone with me.

Apple iPod Camera Connector and iPod shuffle to ditch the FM transmitter?

In the latest Wired magazine Test issue there are a number of hardwire setups for playing your iPod through your car's stereo. Most of the hardwires are for iPod and Nano. Could you use the Apple iPod Camera Connector as an interface so your shuffle will play through the hardwire system? The connector has a USB port on it and the dock connector so it would attach to the hardwire system.
In theory that works right?

Nope wouldn't work. IF you have a stereo with an Ipod interface though you would probably also have an AUX port you could use to plug into the Shuffle's earphone port.

Apple iPod shuffle Reset - saves broken iPods :-)

Apple has just released Apple iPod shuffle Reset - 1.0 which says it can restore your faulty iPod Shuffles suffering from orange & Green Flashing lights.

Hope this helps!

IF it's blinking alternating green and two orange (for 10 seconds) it needs to be reset. In this case you can try restoring it in iTunes.
IF, on the other hand, it's blinking alternating green and orange (for 2 seconds)
it's telling you that there's NO playable content on it.
WHICH is it?

Would it be possible to develop an update so my desktop looks more like my old iMac instead of like an iPod?

There is one, it's called "System Preferences". And for items like the "Dock", you can use google to find the defaults code (i.e. 2D flat Dock for Mac OS X)
Most (not all) appearance issues can be adjusted to your liking.
With a little work, you'll have your iMac looking like 2005 in no time!

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)

Apple iPod NANO Lanyard

I would really like to buy the Apple iPod Nano Lanyard, it would be perfect for me. However after reading the reviews from the Apple store, I am afraid that my Nano will fall off and break or get lost after a short period of use. I can't afford to keep buying Nano's. Does anyone know if Apple has taken this problem to heart and fixed the problem, making it more secure? I can't believe that they would continue to sell a product that could cause you to loose such an expensive investment? If there has been a fix, does anyone know of a date to "buy after"?
Thank you so much, Cinta

I have the lanyard and while I don't subject it to extreme pressure I have run around with it quite a bit with no ill effects. I am disappointed though that there is no mechanical release though. There are other options available that would have a separate lanyard earphones options. I love it and had to pick it up after having a shuffle but personally it's great.

HT3472 does apple iphone 5 earphone will support apple ipod 3 generation? my 3 gen ipod is not supporting

does apple iphone 5 earphone will support apple ipod shuffle 3 generation? my 3 gen ipod is not supporting.
please help me out to solve the issue.if any third party earphones support please let me know

If the headphones are the Apple EarPods, it does not work with the 3rd gen shuffle (the remote control buttons do not work).
As an alternative, you can get an adapter like this one (there are several similar products)

that has the remote control button, and connect ANY standard headphones.

Apple ipod reps? software?

are there any apple ipod representitives on here that can help us answer questions? or are we on our own here?
it seems all they can tell us right now are these 5 things or whatever that are listed on the site, everyone knows these, and are obvious. they don't work very well, maybe for minor things... but that's for people who have no clue... but let's see.. if you can't even figure the 5 things out,, how are you even suppost to get this working?
i've had several mp3 players from no name, sony, to rio, you name it, this is the closest to when i had the RCA lyra. the software *****.
good thing there is a warrenty cause i would have done the samething i did to my RCA. it's hammer time. dun dun dun dun.
seriously.
i am that frustrated.
jump the bandwagon and get some new software apple.
i'm going to change my non working ipod today and maybe get a new one, who knows.
also does anyone know any other software for the shuffle besides itunes. that's a really horrible program.
please don't lock my thread like my other one, it just doesn't deserve to be locked. just because you make a terrible product, it's not my fault. lots of other people are having difficulties too. go figure.
if i do get a good one today, i will change my mind.
good day.
-neil

I have to agree with you. It seems to get a "qualified Apple Customer Service Rep" to help you, you have to agree to some ridiculous charge like $35.00 per question via the phone or via e-mail.
