HT1719 can't get my ipod shuffle to work in new fiesta

I collected my new fiesta on sunday 14th Oct 2013, but can't get my ipod shuffle ( 4th generation) to work or sync with the car.
I am not technical so simple answers would really be appreciated.
thanks

It's possible that your car's audio system is not designed to work with an iPod shuffle.  You should look at the car audio system's documentation to see what types of devices are supported when connected to the USB port on the car audio system.
An iPod does not "sync" with the car audio system.  The system is only using the device connected to the USB port as a storage device.  It would be the same as connecting a simple USB flash drive, with songs files on it, to that port.  The car audio system reads the song files and does the playing.  The iPod is not doing the playing.  So the question is, does the car audio system know HOW to find song files on an iPod?  You may want to check the settings screen on the car audio system, to see if there is a specific setting that tells it you are connecting an iPod.
If the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input port (which looks like the headphones jack on the shuffle), you can connect the shuffle (or any device with standard audio output) to the car audio system using something like this

and play your shuffle through the car audio system.

  • Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it.  If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list.  When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
    To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

    Chippy:
    I'll assume you've read the iPod manual. The directions I have seem fairly straightforward - iPod connects to a wireless network when it discovers one. Or, if that option is turned off, you have to manually connect it.
    When it comes to attaching to your router, you will need to know what kind of security the router is using, what the security password is and most important - the router's DHCP function must be activated so the iPod can acquire an IP address.
    If the iPod truly can handle the connection, and you have the necessary information I mentioned, it should connect without a problem. But since you can't connect, you need to review the settings I mentioned.
    It's possible there is some sort of issue with the router and the iPod. But it's my guess that the iPod is not acquiring an IP address because the router is not giving them out.
    Check these things out and post what you find. If we can figure out the answer, your post will be helpful to others who may run into the same problem.

  • How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

  • HT1459 I can't get my ipod shuffle to connect to my computer and I also can't find the serial number on it

    When I go to download my book the computer tells me that it's not connected.  What is all this nonsense I just want to get this I pod to play books, I have now spent three days trying to get something on to it and all I get from the computer is pages and pages of stuff, and that is not the s word I want to use, to read.  None of which has been helpful.

    Try these:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake 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

    - Make sure the router is using one of the 2.4 Hz bans since the iPod does not support the 5 GHz N band.

  • Can't Get My iPod Nano To Work -- Have Followed All Instructions

    My iPod Nano arrived yesterday. I'm generally good at computers, and did think I'd have any trouble getting it working. Apparently, I was wrong.
    When I plug it into my computer, it shows up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk", but trying to access it just gives me an error. iTunes doesn't see it. I have followed all of the instructions given with the iPod, and on every applicable support page I could find, including this one which seems to describe the problem perfectly: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716, but to no avail. I've reset the iPod, and even tried to restore it (though I have no idea why I should need to for a brand new product). I've connected it to half a dozen different USB ports, tried everything on two different computers, but it refuses to work.
    I am getting extremely fed up with this, and would appreciate any advice to help me solve this problem.
    EDIT: The iPod itself seems to function properly at the little it can do without any media. Also, when I try to run the iPod updater, it either freezes or throws the "iPod Service Error".

    We all seem to having similar problems; so now what? Since I connected my ipod to the computer,I have been unable to use my ipod at all (it won't even turn on, other than display the "do not disconnect" sign) and while my computer recognizes the ipod, itunes does not. I am concerned about re-installing itunes because I have purchased songs and am afraid I will lose them; I cannot restore my ipod since I will lose all the songs on the ipod that have been purchased;and it will not simply do an update.
    I agree that this is extremely frustrating, particularly when there doesn't seem to be an online support system directly with Apple.
    Any ideas????

  • How can I get my ipod classic to work again after dropping it in water?

    I dropped it in soapy greasy water, is there any chance that I can save it so I can use it again?

    On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
    Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
    Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
    Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
    By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
    If you cannot find the answer by:
    trial and error
    by looking at the online manual;
    160Gb Classic>  http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1195/en_US/iPod_classic_160GB_User_ Guide.pdf  and 129Gb Classic > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA630/en_US/iPod_classic_120GB_en.pdf (no idea why there's a difference to be honest)

  • HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop.  I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID.  How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

    I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID.  What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

    Also
    If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

    I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

    According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
    These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
    Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
    If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
    Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
    If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
    Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
    In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
    If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
    When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
    You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
    To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

  • I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

    I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

    The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
    You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
    Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

  • Why can't I get my ipod shuffle to do anything when I know the battery is full

    Why can't I get my Ipod shuffle to do anything? Before it stopped playing, saying or doing any thing I checked battery and it was full! This has happened before with another Ipod shuffle and I took it back. well, my new one is doing it. It plays for a while and then it decides to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Headphones in properly. Check !
    Battery full. Check !
    I can not even see a light when I switch it on and off. No voice over to tell me anything. Zero music!
    Played music for about 1-2 hours max. Should be more than this! Checked battery before it stopped anyway and this was fine.
    Help!

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    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.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:

    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):
