Can I charge my iPod shuffle on a non-iTunes computer, just by plugging into the USB port?

You can also charge the ipod on any powered usb hub when no computer is on. I leave it on overnight and get it in the a.m. when I leave for work.

Can You charge an ipod shuffle with an electrical outlet?

Do you need to have your computer to charge an ipod shuffle???

No, you don't need a computer. You can charge it with an electrical outlet, in your home, or even in your car. Go to Target or Walmart and have a look at the different chargers available. You can get a package that has a standard home-outlet charger and a car charger, so you can do either. Saw something in Walmart for about $20 that would do the trick.

Can i charge my iPod shuffle whilst listening to Music? (plugged into wall and using twin audio jack?

I want to connect my iPod shuffle to a telephone line so when people are put on hold they can listen to music, however the battery will die after some time.
Can i charge the iPod whilst listening to music simultaneously? (Plugged into wall not computer)

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
The iPod will support playback and charging only if you have a wire that supports it. Since both audio out and electricity flow through the 1 headphone port you would need a cord of some sorts that will allow the iPod to charge and include audio out. As far as using it on a telephone. If the telephone you are using supports and audio input using the headphone jack then you could use the iPod shuffle as telephone music. If not than the iPod Shuffle may not be the best tool for you.

It's either that, or plugging it into a USB power adapter...

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

HT1202 why can't I charge me ipod shuffle on another computer? My "home computer" is the one at work.

So you are trying to connect your iPod Shuffle to another computer you don't normally sync it with is that correct? And it won't charge for some reason? How are you connecting it? To a USB or a USB port located directly on the PC?

HT1510 how do I continue to charge my ipod shuffle once the computer automatically turns off?

How do I continue to charge my ipod shuffle once the computer automatically turns off from lack of imput.

If the shuffle's light turns off, it is not charging. The computer needs to be active, so that the USB port has power. You'll need to set the computer so that it turns off the display after inactivity, but the computer remains "awake."
Or, you can get a USB power adapter, like this

and charge the shuffle on the power adapter.

How can I sync my ipod shuffle so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

How can I sync my ipod shuffle (4th generation) so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

Is the playlist in your iTunes library, or is it already on the shuffle (as a playlist)?
If you created one or more playlists for your shuffle in your iTunes library (with the songs in the desired playlist order), you should set up automatic syncing. Here's how to do that, if you have not already...
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Near the top of the window, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs. (Sorry if you know this already...)
Check the box for Sync Music. Below that, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. In your case, find and checkmark those playlists you want under Playlists. When you click Apply, the songs on those playlists and the playlists sync to the shuffle.
When using your shuffle, the default playlist that you are using is the All Songs list. To play songs in order, the shuffle's power switch needs to be set to the play-in-order (middle) position. However, if you are playing from the All Songs list, the songs play in alphabetical order.
To play from a particular playlist that is on the shuffle, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on a shuffle

How Can I restore my ipod shuffle to factory setting (without all the software updates)?

After updating my ipod shuffle, my car no longer recognize it. I cannot connect it to my car via usb. For the past few weeks I have been listen to only songs on the radio. I tried to restore it, but fond out that all it did was removed all my songs ect, but the update is still the most current version. Please someone, please help me. How can I restore my ipod shuffle to the original factory setting without all the update.

You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
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 can't charge my ipod without having to bend the chord what should I do

I have tried 2 chords already and I just got a new one thinking that the problem was the chord, I'm not really sure how this happened, but it did and now I can't charge my iPod.

Hey Godsgrl1, A short and/or debris in the iPod's charging port are the first things that come to mind. Have you tried a different charging device? The thing that supplies the power, not the cable. If issue continues, check the charging port on the iPod for debris, pocket lint can interrupt a solid electrical connection. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the port, with the power off. You should see the silver bumps on the short ends, (one on each end), the gold contact pins on one of the long sides and the bottom of the port should appear dark gray or metallic and smooth. If it appears to be a mat finish, could be looking at packed lint. Try blowing it out, If that fails, use a non-conductive probe, I like a round wooden toothpick and carefully remove the debris, usually lint, from the port. Be very careful to NOT TOUCH the gold pins, damage, bent or break then and your screwed! Also, make sure the locking clips, (the silver bumps) are free of debris and push back when touched. If your cable is OK, and is an Apple product or approved for iPod use, Should get you back to charging. If there is no debris, the power supply is good and cables are free of shorts, and still will not charge, try resetting first. If still no joy, then attempt to restore, from backup. If still zip, make sure you have a current backup and restore to new. If a full factory restore does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Also, check that there is little to no movement of the port on the iPod, if you can see movement, or damage (missing pieces, cracks, etc.), the port maybe damaged. Schedule an appointment with Apple to have your iPod evaluated, be sure to bring the cables and charging device if possible. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.
