Can I use an ipod shuffle 4th gen charger with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

Basically, last week I lost my ipod shuffle (4th gen). ****. so consequently I have bought a second hand 2nd gen shuffle, thinking that the USB - minijack cable would work fine - and it fits perfectly. But my 'new' ipod is not showing up in itunes, and neither is it illuminating...
I spoke to Apple Support, and they suggested plugging it in for an extended period of time, as the battery may be 100% flat, but after an hour still nothing.
Any ideas, folks?
Ta!

The USB cable for the 4th gen iPod has a different connector at the iPod end.  This is the replacement part for the one used by the 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
and it states at the bottom that it is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.
This is the replacement part for a second gen shuffle (with a "mini-dock").
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
It's somewhat expensive compared to $49 for a brand new shuffle.  There are cheaper third-party replacements (most have just the connector with no dock) available on Amazon and eBay, and elsewhere.  Just make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

  • New ipod touch 4th gen, trouble with playing ipod in 06 Ford Focus?

    Ive recently gotten a 4th gen Ipod Touch brand new and everything. I tried to plug it into my 06 Ford Focus which has the HD Radio Simple brand, and for some reason it shows what song im playing yet won't play it over the car stereo. Its rediculous and all it says on my Ipod was that "this accessory is not supported by Ipod Touch" even though that is exactly what is advertised in the "Simple" radio system!! In the manuel it says that I need to download the latest firmware?? I checked the Apple website and could'nt find it, i have no clue what to do.

  • Can I use my Ipod photo 4th gen charger with the 120gb classic?

    My new 120gb classic will arrive shortly, I notice Apple don't include chargers anymore. Will the mains charger I got with my old 60gb ipod photo also work with the new classic or do I have to buy a new one? I notice the charger on sale via the apple website looks a bit different to my old one.

    If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
    It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
    Good luck,

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

  • Can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch

    can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch? Device was plugged in to an ipad charger then failed during an update to IOS 601. went to a solid color screen and will only boot to the apple logo on a reset than returns to the solid color screen.

    Try the following to get the iPod working.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other than Apple will the apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

    If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other then Apple will the Apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

    Regardless of what Apple may or may not say about repair work done by a third party (a non-Apple company or you yourself), the Magnuson-Moss Act precludes them from voiding your warranty simply because you had work done by a third party or used non-OEM parts.  Typically people hear of thie Act as it is applied to cars. Car manufacturers cannot require you go to a dealership for repairs or that you use OEM parts. They cannot void your warranty for doing that. The Act applies to all consumer goods. Computer manufacturers cannot require you send your computer to them for memory upgrades or that you use memory supplied by them. Apple cannot require you to go to Apple for repair work or that you use Apple parts in that repair. 
    With that said, though, if you have a problem in the future, Apple could make the claim that it was the result of damage from improper repair or substandard parts. Your only recourse would be the court system, not a quick or inexpensive endeavor.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • My IPod shuffle 4th Gen Charges but won't come up in itunes or turn on?

    I have bought an IPod shuffle 4th gen and it won't come up in Itunes and it won't turn on, in Itunes it just had a red light and when I unplugg it, no light at all.

    Did it previously work with your computer and iTunes?  Or is this brand new, never previously connected to your computer?
    You can try this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    If that iPod is less than one year old, it is under warranty.  You can contact Apple (or make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar) to see about getting it replaced (if it's broken).

  • Does Ipod Nano 4th Gen charge in the  iHome iP9?

    I know it says all ipod nanos first off, but I have seen many reports where older or even some newer accessories will not charge the new ipod nano 4th gen. If someone could please confirm or deny it does charge it.
    Thanks for your time.

    Mouse over the 4th gen Nano at the end, so it will charge it, along with the iPhone 3G and 2nd Generation Touch.

  • How can I resolve iPod Touch 4th gen charging and iTunes connection issue?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and the other day it stopped charging.  When I pug it in, it appears to be receiving a minimal charge to keep it alive, but isn't restoring the battery life and doesn't show that the battery is accepting the charge.  After plugging it in for a day, the battery was only partially charged to approximately 20%.  I've tried several USB cables and different plug-ins to no avail.
    Then I tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple Device Manager and iTunes software, and resetting the iPod.  I've also tried holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time while connecting the iPod to the computer with iTunes software open.  Nothing seems to work.  I have other iPods/iPhones that connect to iTunes without issue, so it is isolated event with this iPod Touch.  I was hoping to restore the iPod to its original settings to see if that would do the trick, but am unable to figure out how without iTunes.  Any suggestions?  help! 

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen trouble with iOS5-iCloud

    Hi,
    I trying to set up my daughters 4th GEN iPod touch with iOS5 and get it talking to iCloud. I've got everytthing set up for her on our iMac, and see is "in the cloud" as far as the Mac is concerned. After downloading iOS5 and installing it, I'm going through the brief setup procedure to get the iPod talking to iCloud. Everyhting goes well until the very end when I get a window that says: "Could Not Sign In. Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error" Is this just Apple getting crushed, or am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    Yes, I have restored from Backup via i-Cloud. I've restored the iPod to factory settings.  It seem like there is a driver issue.  I installed iOS 5.01 and updated iTunes to 10.5.3.3 at about the same time.  Win-Vista64, iTunes and iPod are all up to date.  Apple Genius, at local Apple store was also perplexed.  He suggested I ask the community.  So, here I am.
    It is strange that I can connect to other computers.  But, the other computers have Win 7.  Could this be a Vista64 driver issue?
