Hello, my ipod 4th gen shuffle is having a problem.
When I pause mid song and then try to unpause it the thing skips back two songs. Then when I try to skip back a song it just pauses it, and when I try to press play or skip back again it goes back two songs. I will gie more infromation if you need it, but please help.
If you use headphones with remote control buttons on the cord, try using a different set of standard headphones to see if it makes a difference.
You can also try doing a Restore on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If data corruption of the shuffle's storage is the cause, a Restore should fix it.
After the Restore, I would load a small number of songs as a test, to see if the problem recurs or not. If it does not, sync it like normal.

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle Feature Not Working...
I have a new Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen and I have a many playlists which appear to be working except for one. I have one playlist called "jogging" which the Ipod voiceover speaks when pressing the button. However, when I select it, the track will not play. This particular song/track is 1 hour and 3 mins and is a collage of songs. Is there some reason the shuffle will not play it? It's an M4A file and Itunes says it's synched with the shuffle. When you select that playlist, it starts playing a song in a different playlist like it doesn't exist.
ps. Other playlist selections give one beep. When I select the playlist with the 1 hour file, I get two beeps.

Does iPod (4th gen) have a battery life problem?
I have had my 4th gen iPod for less than 2 years (was a replacement after the screen was cracked. Was purchased at an actual Apple Retail store). I am now finding that it won't hold a charge. I have tried 4 different cords (including the original cords from the original and the replacement iPod) plus 2 other iPod compatible cords and plug it in every night, only to find out that 6 out of 7 days it still reads as having a low battery (at 20% battery life). I am pretty sure it is not the cords. In addition, lately I have been getting messages about the temperature (being either too hot or too cold). I do not leave my iPod in the sun or in my car EVER, yet I've gotten messages about the battery being too hot (even when it was in an air conditioned house for several hours) and now I am getting messages about it being too cold (it is freezing outside, but the iPod has been inside and does not even feel cold to the touch).
I would update it to the new version, but it requires 50% power to do so, and I can't get enough power to it (even when it is plugged in for hours, it still doesn't show enough battery life).
I have an appointment at the genius bar next week, but thought I would ask if anyone else is having this/these problem(s) and what they did to resolve the issue Thanks.Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. I suspect a hardware problem because of the high temp warning.

Attention to the Apple developer, the iMovie which installed to the iPad 4th gen. has a problem when it's opened at the theater page it frequently couldn't be closed down to the home screen. The app page is actually blinking and cannot tap onto anything..
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle - voice over prob with podcasts
Hi. I have TWO of these cute little shuffles and I really like them.
The problem is that each lives with its OWN Mac, each with its own install of itunes on the mac and BOTH OF THEM will refuse to say some of the PODCAST names.
So for example in the computery voice when I press and hold the voice over button it will say:
ABOVE AND BEYOND TRANCE AROUND THE WORLD
then "Podcast 2" instead of "The Dave Ramsey Pocast
Then For mac eyes only
Then "podcast 4" instead of "Tiestos club life".
It doesn't seem to matter how many podcast episodes are in each major podcast label or whether I have started listening to the podcast or if its "unplayed".
I have both of the shuffles set to "sync all podcasts" because I only have a few podcasts and there is always room..
It seems sort of random.
Any thoughts?SOLVED! The person who posted in another message to voice over not working with all podcasts got it right and it worked
So you go to SUMMARY tab when clicking on your ipod , unclick voice over, click APPLY. Then click voice over then click APPLY. Then it all works!
Re: Voiceover not working with all podcasts

sanfranciscotx was the person who gave this anser.
You need to go to the Shuffle settings page, disable Voiceover, apply settings, the re-enable Voiceover to reset the spoken data. -
I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen).
I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen). Is it a problem that it is in the "Home Videos" section? I go into the "Home Videos" sections and drag the video that I want so that the bar comes up, move it over to the device and let go. All that happens is it flashes a few times and then nothing. No error or anything.

Since connecting my new 5s my 4th gen shuffle is not recognised by itunes.
The device is not appearing in 'my computer' but is receiving power as it is charging.
I never had this issue with my 4s.
I have tried the troubleshooting with no success.
If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I need to change or what I need to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.

Have you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod? If so then you have a hardware problem. Maybe a loose/brken connector or maybe something else.
