Does the 1st generation ipod Shuffle work with the new iTunes?

I was just trying to sync my old iPod shuffle with iTunes 11 and it won't work. Any help?

Mine works fine...
What do you mean by "it won't work"?  It doesn't appear in iTunes?  It doesn't sync?  It doesn't charge?

    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.

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use 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.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

  • I need help with getting an update for my 1st generation ipod shuffle.

    I am trying to install iTunes and iPod software on my computer but the iPod cd is apparently not compatible with my version of windows. I need to download an update but I cannot get any support because my 1st generation iPod shuffle is not one of the selections available for support. Does anyone know how I can download the update I need?

    Neil, I installed itunes but that hasn't helped the issue I am having with my 1st generation iPod. I have searched and searched but there is nothing that allows me to update my iPod, download to my iPod, all I see is iPhone or iPad, neither of which I happen to own, so I am still at square one with my problem. I can't get any Apple support because my iPod is not one of the choices, no mention of the 1st generation. It's as if it no longer exists and there is no support available. I tried plugging it into my usb port, hoping that something would pop up on the screen and give me guidance, but alas, that failed as well. I feel like this whole thing is an exercise in futility.  Thanks for your attempt to assist me.

  • 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.

  • Itunes 8 not compatible with 1st generation ipod shuffle

    I have had a **** of a time tonight trying to get my ipod shuffle working with itunes 8 and finally gave up after trying to restore it via itunes 8 which totally screwed it up because it wouldn't finish the restore so I had to unplug the ipod. Got a zillion ipod busy errors when trying to restore. Used disk utility to format it for apple hfs.... still wouldn't restore.... ipod busy b.s. error messages... tried formatting it for fat on itunes 7.7.1 and finally got it so that itunes could get it restored and working. Problem is... now I have to try and switch back to itunes 7.7.1 which means deleting my computer from apple tv and using disk utility to backup my older 7.7.1 over my itunes 8 in order to get back to some kind of workable solution. Plus my itunes 8 library is more up to date than my backup. So that means more messing around. Fortunately I was able to restore most, not all of the files by plugging in my ipod 80gb. For some reason it didn't copy all the new movie files over.
    I've had so many problems with compatibility, crashing, locking up etc that it is no longer worth my time to try and use itunes 8.
    Not only can't I change album artwork in itunes 8... it basically doesn't want to work my my old ipod shuffle either.
    This is one version of itunes that was not tested properly before putting it on the download server.

  • ITunes & iMac do not recognize 1st generation ipod shuffle

    My 1st generation ipod shuffle does not show up in either the desktop or itunes. It does however light up the orange or green light when connected to the computer.
    It also seems to knock out the usb connection that it was plugged into. After I unplug it I try to put the keyboard in the same usb slot that the shuffle was in and it does not work. But it does work in other usb outlets. I reset the PRAM and NVRAM and then the all usb connectors work again.
    Also, to add to the confusion I have 2 first generation ipod shuffles. The other one works fine.
    I cannot restore the shuffle because I can not see it anywhere.
    Is there anything that can be done?

    Here in Brazil if the technicians solve the 1418 iPod problem with "magic softwares" provided from Apple just for assistence services, they are charging the iPod users about U$40.
    But if the problem is classified as a hardware problem, and if its under warranty, they give you another new or a refurbished (yek!).
    If its not under warranty, you can have your iPod and pray for fix...
    Is it fair that a problem probably cause by a software provided from the own manufacturer should be solved by Apple's costumers? I dont think so...
    Do you any idea about what can we do?

  • My 1st generation iPod shuffle

    i need help with my 1st generation iPod shuffle, I think it's different because I don't have green/amber lights on my iPod shuffle, it's red/blue lights and it's on the front of the iPod. I need help in recognizing what does the red light mean? what does the blinking blue light mean? and what does the steady blue light mean? can anyone help me? I have instructions to this iPod but, doesn't explain the light formats.

    Do you actually have a REAL, Apple shuffle with a valid Apple serial number? Shuffles made by Apple have LEDs which display green, orange or red, but not blue.

  • Why won't my 2010 MacBook Pro recognizing my 1st generation iPod Shuffle?

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro does not recognize my 1st generation iPod Shuffle. Do I need software? Is there anywhere I can go to download it?

    Hi all -
    I cannot view my flash drive OR my office server, which I should be able to connect to via VPN. VPN was installed on my Macbook Pro at my office on Friday. It worked fine. Now I bring it home, and I connect using VPN, and it shows that I am connected, yet the server hard drive icon does not appear on my desktop (as it usually did) and I can't see how to access the server at work.
    I also cannot view flash drives when I plug them in - they just don't show up.
    I had Norton installed; I read online I should disable that. I did this, and no luck. I also have already done all the things suggested on this post and have all the boxes checked, and yet, still cannot use a flash drive or access my work server.
    I am stuck? Do I have to bring my Macbook pro in for service? I have NOT upgraded to Mavericks.
    Thanks for any help.
    I am not that well versed in finding my way around a Mac - so keep any explanations simple, please.

  • HT1719 why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear on my devices on itunes?

    Why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear under my devices on itunes when i plug it in? i have windows 7. I got the ipod today from a friend with their music. i deleted their music and added my own to the folder it was in. but when i unplugged it i still had their music and none of mine.

    You need to restore the Shuffle in iTunes first. Then sync all of your music stored in iTunes over to it. Or is that what you did?

  • My 1st generation iPod shuffle will not allow me to sync any podcasts onto it...what do I do?

    My 1st generation iPod shuffle isn't letting me sync my podcasts even though they can play in iTunes

    I did recently move to a new NetGear wireless cable voice gateway router (CG3100) and this is when the problems started
    In order for the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network provided by the Netgear router, you need to know exactly what type of wireless security settings that the Netgear is using.
    Unless you provide the Express with the exact information required to join the network, you will continue to see error messages after you click Update during the configuration.
    The message about the "settings have been successfully stored" is a misnomer. This tells you that the settings have been saved, but not if they were the correct settings.
    You will know that you have the right settings about 40-45 seconds after you click Update. If the light turns green, your settings are correct.
