HT1373 My ipod shuffle is no longer charging ?

My Ipod shuffle is not charging...what do I need to do to correct this?

This is not a new one..actually its quite old . I bought it in 2007 so I have surely gotten my monies worth out of it. Still I would like it to last longer so I will check the Apple Store and see if perhaps it can be rejuveniated. I wish I had of read this post before I purchased a new one this morning but hey if I can get it to work I will just have two!
thank you again!

My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
Thanks!

All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

IPod Shuffle 3G won't charge, or do anything.

My iPod Shuffle 3G won't charge, connect to my Mac or give me any sign that it's working. I used it about two weeks ago and it was working but now it is not responding to any thin I do. When I plug it in to my computer it never shows up on my iTunes and when it's plugged in all it does is get hot after a few minutes so I unplug it because I know that's not good. I tried to see if it would show up under Disk Utilities but no luck. I am thinking that there is no hope for this $80 paper weight but I just want to know that I have done all that I can. If someone knows how I can fix it then please tell me other wise I am done wasting my time trying to fix it. It is also out of warranty by a month so I can't take it in to get fixed by Apple.

Faulty port on the computer
If something is wrong with your computer's FireWire or USB port, it may not supply power to iPod. Note: Only iPod mini can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable.
Check the connections.
Try another known-good FireWire (or high-powered USB) port on a different computer if available.
If you do not have access to another computer, use the Apple iPod Power Adapter.
Plug in one end of the FireWire cable to the Apple iPod Power Adapter and the other end to your iPod.
Plug the Apple iPod Power Adapter into a working electrical outlet.
If you have an iPod (with Dock Connector) model, connect the FireWire end to the Apple iPod Power Adapter and the dock connector to iPod. Warning: Never plug the dock connector end of the FireWire cable into a computer's FireWire port.
If this resolves the issue, consult your service and support guide to see how you can have the computer's port repaired.
Faulty Apple iPod Power Adapter
If something is wrong with the Apple iPod Power Adapter, it may not supply power to iPod.
Try another known-good electrical outlet.
Make sure all the connections are good. Try disconnecting and reconnecting all connections to make sure they are snug.
Try another Apple iPod Power Adapter if one is available.
Try connecting iPod to a computer's FireWire port using iPod's FireWire cable.
If this resolves the issue the Apple iPod Power Adapter needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at theiPod Service Website.
Best of luck,

My iPod shuffle will no longer turn on with switch.

My ipod shuffle 3rd generation, will no longer activate by the off on swotch. I have to plus into electrical outlet to get it to turn on to select what I want to hear. It no longer turns off after playing selection it continues to play until battery wears down. Seems the switch is flat, and can't be raised to be activated.

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 another cable
- 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.

IPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) not charging, just blinks orange once.

Hi,
I was using this iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen for almost 4 years without any problem, After I got iPod Touch 4G a year back, I stopped using shuffle for almost a year. When I looked at it recently, of course, to give it to my niece - it's not responding. Thinking that battery drained, I tried to charge the shuffle using the then supplied USB doc.
When connected it just blinked orange once - only once that's it. Nothing happend. Even after keeping it for a whole night, nothing happend. It doesn't play, iTunes won't recognize, but windows 7 says "USB Device not recognized", and it was showed under Generic USB Hub as "Unknown Device"
I used USB 2.0 port back of my computer.
Tried using 3rd gen shuffle charging cable, but this time not even the orange blink.
Tried suggested resetting option (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655), but invain.
Any suggestions?

If you do
Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report
to run System Information (or System Profiler), does the "iPod" appear as a connected device under
Hardware -> USB
Try doing the above with the shuffle connected directly AND using the power USB hub you mentioned.
Have you tried connecting something else to that USB port, to confirm it is working properly? Preferably, it should be something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive (data storage devices that get power from the USB port).
Two other related tests... Create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane. The new user account can be Standard or Admin. Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new user account, run iTunes and connect the shuffle.
And the other test. Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Connect the shuffle while started up in safe mode, to see if it appears anywhere. These two test are to see if you have a process running when you start up normally, that interferes with the iPod being recognized.

IPod Shuffle 4th Generation not charging or turning on - Warranty Replacement?

I have a 2GB iPod Shuffle 4th Generation that I just bought maybe 2 weeks ago at Target. It's been a great little thing to use in the car and just tonight it stopped charging from my computer and wouldn't turn on. I held down buttons, looked up solutions, attempted the reset, reset my computer, used a friend's cable, tried everything. It seems to just be a brick. I know it's under some kind of warranty and I haven't gotten it at all wet or dropped it.
Can I get it replaced at my local Apple Store free of charge? I do not have the receipt for it, and I bought it with a gift card. I don't believe I've yet registered it online.

IPod Shuffle 2 no longer updating playlist play count and last played date

I use my shuffle 2 in the gym. When I'm done working out I sync and the most recently played songs are rotated off using a smart play list. This is no longer working. I reset the shuffle 2, I've forced sync and auto filled many times. My latest workout it still lists all the songs I just listened to in the order I listened to them and has their last played date as many months ago.
This seems to be affecting my other iPod too, but it is tougher to diagnose. I signed up to iTunes Match and after several days that is still running but I noticed this problem long before iTunes Match became available in Canada. Both my iPod Shuffle and iTunes are up to date but my music is on an older but upgraded Mac. It has a G4 so no Lion upgrade, I just checked it is 10.5.8

All my tracks should be MP3s or AAC. I ripped them myselfs with iTunes. I may have bought some songs directly off of record labels or some other online music store, but I own my music legally whether I bought it on CD or got given it by magazines or record labels.
I went to the gym today. I set the shuffle to random. Some songs were synched back to iTunes but they weren't the songs I listened to, at least not all of them. Some of them may have been the songs I listened to last workout, at least one or two of the songs updated I did listen to today.
I listened to some other songs last night on my main Mac so it is easy to determine which songs iTunes updated this morning.
I haven't had much time to play with Match. It is still updating and uploading, it has 6000 songs to go. That means in a half month of trying it has managed to find and/or upload a little over 1000 songs actually close to 2000 now. It is something, but it isn't the service I was sold. All my songs and playlists were supposed to be available in the cloud. That hasn't happened and in the case of my smart playlists will never happen.
I'll read you link, but I wrote a blog posting how I was disappointed with the service so far.
Thanks!

My ipod shuffle 2nd generation is charging but not starting.

My Ipod shuffle 2nd generation 4 yrs old is charging when i connect it to the computer it blinks orange light then when i eject it, it shows green light. But afterwards when i start it nothing happens. It used to work very nicely before but now Its doesnt respond at all. I have reset it several times. Ipod software version is 1.0.4 and i use it in latest itunes. Please help.

That most likely problem is that the iPod's battery is worn out and not able to hold a charge anymore. So, it appears to charge while connect to USB for power, but a few seconds after it is disconnected, it goes dead.

IPod Shuffle 3rd Gen fully charged, blinks orange five times and I can't control it with the remote (I used 3 different remotes), volume is low and is iPod is unresponsive... any ideas on how to fix it?

The iPod was working fine, then after about 45 minutes of use i looked as if battery drained.
I charged it fully again (until green light) and then turned it on, green light and then orange light blinks five times...
I can't play /pause, or turn volume up or down from the remote... tried with original Apple earphones, and two Bose MIE2i (original and sports models)...
Any ideas of what can be wrong? or how can I fix it?
Already tried restoring it to factory settings.... it didn't solved the problem...

Ipod shuffle is loaded but charging indicator react for only a second

Hi,
I have an Ipod shuffle, which is still under warranty for at least 160 days. Problem is that it is charged (when I connect to the PC it shows the green light) but when I disconnect it from the PC it is only possible to press the charging check for a few minutes. I also tried to load the Ipod on another PC but it didn't help.
What is the problem? How can I get it checked/repaired?
thxs for answers/help

IM afraid the problem with water Is that it can get inside everything including the precious motherboard which can cause a short circuit and another issue is corrosion water once evaporated leaves behind corroding materials which will ruin your phone however your phone could be saved because you put it straight in rice however your very lucky you didn't drop it in salt water

Using Ipod shuffle in museum: long-term use?

Hello.
I am a museum curator and am doing an exhibit with oral histories. I am considering using the ipod shuffle to play the audio for this exhibit.
The shuffles would be plugged into a wall adapter, such as the apple USB Power Adapter M9837LL/A, and would run continously for two months. It would be possible to turn them off at night, but inconvient, as the shuffles would be hidden throughout the exhibit.
My question is: can the shuffle be left plugged into the wall adapter for two months, and if so, can it play continously for this long?
Has anyone tried this?
Many Thanks,
Andrian Paquette
Ipod Shuffle

It seems like it does .... I just uploaded a single 45 minute Podcast and listened to it all the way through. That's all I pot onto the iPS. Anyway, when it got to the end it just rolled back to the beginning and is playing again ....

IPod Shuffle 4G Wont Hold Charge

So i have a brand new iPod Shuffle 4G and it has only been through around 3 charge cycles. It takes the expected three hours to charge. A couple days ago, i charged it fully so that the green light came on. I only listened to it a couple hours that day. The next day, i turned it on and it said 25 percent with the voice over button. An hour later, the voice over button said battery low. I certainly haven't used the iPod for the 15 hour battery charge span that Apple claims. Is there something wrong with my iPod? All replies appreciated:)

Hey there
I would probably guess that you have a faulty battery if your numbers are correct. Remember though that your battery life is affected by many things. Are you listening to songs which are of supreme quality? That uses more battery than just the standard AAC 128kbps songs. Otherwise, take it back to where you bought it.
Hope I helped
P.S. Its crucial you never let your iPod get to hot, batteries hate heat.
