Husband gave me his 3rd gen shuffle - I need to erase his music and add mine...How ?

my husband gave me his 3rd gen.shuffle which shows up in my computer/itunes as his name.
So I need to erase his info & music and 'register' it as my own and add my music.
Can anyone help here? Thanks

Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings. See this article more info.

Move music from 3rd gen shuffle to 2nd gen

I want to take the music off my 3rd gen shuffle and put it on my 2nd gen shuffle. How can I copy what is on one and put it on the other?

The music should be on your computer in your iTunes Library. Just sync the 2nd Generation to your library.

Volume gradually decreases on 3rd gen Shuffle

I have a brand new 3rd gen shuffle. I have notice something during long runs outdoors, the volume gradually decreases until it is barely audible. Volume button doesn't help. Battery is fine though. When I come indoors after a while, sound returns to normal. This seems to happen when it is cold. Any suggestions?

I'm glad and sorry to find this post.....I had bought a used 4gig shuffle on Ebay/ I was having problems with the volume. I thought that because it was used that it must be problematic, so I bought a brand new one.
same problem!
by the way, I only use the I-Pod at the gym, and before I even have a chance to sweat the volume is so low, no matter what setting I use. since I like my music loud for workouts, I'm really upset...now I own 2 inferior I-pods. I am not crazy about the volume control on the headphones......but I would'nt mind that much if it worked!
do you think I can get a refund or exchange? this situation is unacceptable. I can't use it at such a low volume........thanks, larrytorre

Can you charge 3rd gen shuffle in 2nd gen dock?

Does anyone know if it's possible to charge a 3rd gen shuffle in a 2nd gen dock?

Shucks. I was hoping I could have an extra charger/dock, but I guess not. Thanks!

Hi, i want to buy headphones that are compatible with my 3rd gen. shuffle

hi, i want to buy headphones that are compatible with my 3rd gen. shuffle. can you please recommend which to purchase? It appears that you do not sell the older headphones style.

This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here.
for headphones, any 3.5mm headphones will work just fine.
Apple sells the Earpods which should work just fine with a shuffle. And there are also other brands available.
Make sure you choose the wired earphones. Wireless ones will not work with a shuffle.

Connecting my 3rd gen shuffle to car stero

I recently got a 3rd gen shuffle for my birthday and when I connected it to my car stereo it displays N/A USB. What is this? I have connected other usb nano's to the car stereo with no problems. Why would the shuffle not work when plugged into a car stereo? It is a Pioneer stereo.

3rd gen shuffle adaptor?

Is there an adaptor to allow 3rd gen shuffles to be used in speaker docking stations?
I know there is a Griffin Dock Adapter for the 2nd generation iPod shuffle, but can this be used with a thrud generation one?

No... but there WILL be some which will ONLY work with audio input ports.

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

Moving tracks around when loading 3rd gen shuffle

Until very recently I've only used a first generation shuffle, but am now trying to figure out how to use the 3rd gen so that I get the same kind of enjoyment, but with more memory - which is the idea, right?! I have issues with the earphone remote set-up but what I really want to know is how I can move tracks around in the shuffle pane which lists the tracks I've put on there. This was really easy on my 1st gen shuffle, you could just drag and drop tracks into the order you wanted them after loading them. But this seems impossible on the 3rd gen. Say for example I load a playlist and a couple of albums, and then I want to change the order they appear in the list onscreen without having to delete them and reload the shuffle. How do I do that? I often like to keep the same content on the shuffle for long periods of time, but while charging it move some of the content around. This is how I was used to using my 1st gen shuffle and it seems particularly important now that I have to deal with the crappy remote - getting to particular tracks while actually listening is irritating because of all the stoopid clicking you have to do So what I really need is to know how I can reorganise the content that's already on there into a different order before I unplug and play. Very annoyingly, at the moment the only way to do this seems to be to delete all content every time I want to reorganise the order of tracks.
Please help!! Thanks

Linda,
No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.

Anyone heard of this problem before on a 3rd gen Shuffle?

My daughter's 3rd Gen iPod shuffle is acting up...buttons aren't working properly, no apparent liquid damage, but Up Volume changes the track one forward, and Down Volume does nothing.
She only paid $25 for it, but that's a ton of cash for a 7 year old. Since she insists she did nothing to cause this, I am trying to find out if this is a common problem or if there is a solution available.

I would guess some liquid got into the switch, let it dry and see if it works.
I would suggest that you first buy her a pair of these:

Itunes freezes when syncing 3rd gen shuffle

I have a 3rd generation shuffle. When I plug it into my mac, instead of syncing, I get the "wheel of death" & itunes freezes. The top status bar says - Syncing (Step 1 of 2) Generating VoiceOver messages. I can force quit itunes & eject the shuffle in Finder, but I can't access the device in itunes because the wheel of death won't let me click on it. This is my spouse's shuffle & hasn't been used for about a year, he doesn't know/remember if the VoiceOver is enabled or works or ever even existed on the shuffle. I'm more familiar with my nano ... What can I do??

never mind, problem solved

3rd gen shuffle not responding

the problem with my 3rd generation shuffle is that when i turn it on the green light stays on for about 10 seconds and after that the orange light blinks 3 to 5 times. the problem is the ipod doesn't respond to any comand. it won't change the song or volume. this problem came up out of nowhere and is incredibly frustrating. please help!

you could bring it into an apple store, and see what they say.
But if I had to guess, I would say your headset is probable bad. I take it you don't happen to have an extra headset to test with?

Need to backup Time Capsule, (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 used as wireless router and network drive

I use Time Capsule, 802.11n (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 (1Tb) as a wireless router and a network drive. I do not use Time Machine at all. How do I create a backup of the files housed on the Time Capsule to an external drive?
Also, why does the use of Time Capsule as a network drive seem to be such an usual configuration? The configuration makes sense to me, aside from the inability to automatically back up the Time Capsule itself to a cloud or other drive, which, to me, is what really makes no sense at all. Is there something else I should be using? I'm not too familiar with the wisest way to set up a home network. I just know I like to wirelessly have access to my files from multiple computers within my household as opposed to saving files on any one computer locally.
Thanks for your assistance and advise!

You could connect a USB hard-drive to the USB port on the TimeCapsule and Enable Disk Sharing on both the TC's Built in Drive as well as the USB connected one.
Then these drives can be mounted using finder and files copied between them as needed.
The main advantage of time-machine is - automation(like you mentioned) + to be able to go back in time - i.e. ability to restore files from a certain date/time. Multiple versions are available for restore.
Also in Mountain Lion - You can restore your mac from a time machine backup very easily - it is one of the options when you boot to the Recovery Partition (ditto when you boot ML from DVD/USB)
Hope this helps.

IPod 3rd Gen 8 GB Says It's An iPhone And Is Stuck In Recovery Mode.

So, here is my story. I have given my mother my old iPod touch, as stated it is a 3rd Gen 8 GB. Now when i updated the software it started to update as usual, reset the ipod. Blah blah blah. as it is finishing it says "Error Can Not Recover." Now, here is the main problem. When I plug it in to get it out of recovery mode, it thinks it's an iphone. Now this wouldn't be a problem if it would let me take it out of recovery, but since it thinks it is an iPhone the software is not compatible. So now I have an iPod that won't do anything and thinks it is an iPhone. Any suggestions..? (Note: My iTunes is fully updated.)

No answers to my question..?
