I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.  I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge.  I've tried to restore but that didn't work.  Advice?

Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given.  It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have. 
This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

  • 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge with one computer (vista) but not the other computer (windows 8).  Please help!

    My 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge on my old vitsta computer but not my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone know why that might be? The new computer recognizes the ipod and I can see everything on it, change settings, etc. it just won't charge. Is there a reason as to why this should be happening?

    Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
    shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
    and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
    ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
    regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
    the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
    when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
    correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
    that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
    previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
    problems?
    No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
    The other problem is that it will not sync and
    transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
    to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
    with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
    restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you.

  • HT1719 I have a 2nd gen. iPod shuffle that I got from my grandson,and want to load music, or delete songs.  I don't have  the software for it.  Can I still get that?

    I have  a 2nd gen. ipod shuffle that I want to load music onto, but only have the shuffle.  can i get software for it?

    Hi, my son has a second generation shuffle (the first type of aluminium clip-on one) and the current version of iTunes "talks" to it just fine. iTunes is a free download from Apple. That's all the software you need.

  • Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

    I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
    This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
    When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
    OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
    Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

  • 2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer

    I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
    I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
    However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!

    Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
    Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
    Any suggestions?

  • Is there any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle?

    I was wondering if there is any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle.
    With HiFi Station I mean those docking stations which directly play the music from your iPod, so that you don´t need to connect to your Computer f.e.
    Does anybody know if something like this exist, or if it is only available for ALL other iPod models???
    Thanks already!
    Stefan

    YOu can use one of these with any other iPod "HiFi Station": http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dockshuffle/
    Use your 2nd generation iPod shuffle in full-size Universal Dock devices.
    Your iPod shuffle is an incredible entertainment value in an incredibly small package. It delivers the music just like its full-size iPod cousins. But one thing it doesn't do is fit in the dock well in your made-for-iPod speaker system.
    That's why we made a Dock Adapter especially for 2nd generation iPod shuffle. The Dock Adapter is shaped just like the dock connector on the bottom of every full-size iPod. Plug it into your iPod shuffle's headphone jack, and suddenly the little guy fits in your iPod speakers just like the big guys.
    Take Griffin Dock Adapter with you, and you can play your iPod shuffle wherever there's a set of Universal Dock speakers.

  • 2nd gen iPod Shuffle USB power adapter

    Hi everyone,
    haven't found thi info anywhere... One year and a half ago I bought the 2nd generation iPod Mini (silver pod, remember?) and its USB power adapter, which worked with every iPod at that time.
    Just bought the brand new 2nd gen iPod Shuffle: will it work with my "old" USB power adapter, or have I to get the new USB power adapter (I've seen a new form factor around...)?
    Thank you - Best of all

  • Recently downloaded new ITunes.  Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Help????

    Recently downloaded new iTunes.  Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order.  Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
    If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • 2nd Gen ipod shuffle charges on Mac but not on PC

    I recently switched from Mac to PC and my 2nd-Gen ipod shuffle won't charge on PC.  The PC reads my shuffle and I'm able to transfer music from itunes, however the battery light indicator doesn't glow.  In order to charge the battery, I have to plug my ipod back to my macbook which is inconvenient.  Btw, I connect my ipod to the PC with USB 3.0 port..I have windows 7 if that's any help..  Suggestions anyone?

    Also, take a look on iTunes if the battery icon is showing that the unit is in charge. Because if you're able to transfert music on it, there's no choice, there's must be electricity on it.

  • My OS X (10.9.1) won't recognize my 2nd gen iPod shuffle anymore :(

    Ever since I got a new desktop Mac 10.9, my 2nd gen iPod shuffle has only shown up occasionally when I plug it in...apparently at random.  I've tried restarting with it plugged, plugging it while on, plugging it while off—no variables seem to make any difference.  Since I updated to Maverick, nothing at all seems to work anymore.  Other than that, the ancient shuffle is plugging along just fine.  Any tips?
    Thanks!

    Hey JZKR,

  • 2nd gen iPod shuffle not recognized by Yosemite or iTunes 12

    I just connected my iPod shuffle (2nd gen) into my macbook for the first time since the update to Yosemite and iTunes 12.  Right when it's plugged in the iPod only blinks orange three times, then doesn't blink or light up again.  It doesn't show up in iTunes or in the finder.  It also doesn't show up in the USB devices on the system report.  It charges when plugged into a wall-USB charger, but isn't recognized at all by the mac.  Also, I'm using the factory mini-dock that came with it, which I believe to be in perfect working condition.
    I know they're cheap, but I've ran thousands of miles with it and I've grown attached to it.  I've spent more time with it than most of my friends...
    I'm afraid the new ones might not be as amazing as this one.
    Although it is still useable, I really need some fresh music on there as my runs are beginning to get boring.
    It has always connected fine with no issue, which leads me to believe its a Yosemite issue (maybe apple is trying to weed out the old iPod fossils still roaming about).  But, it may just be a coincidence that it stopped working just after the update. ...Maybe my iPod is just toast.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi
    I had the same issue with my Late 2009 Mac mini running Mavericks and iTunes 12. When I connected my 2nd generation iPod shuffle it would blink amber once then do nothing. This seems to be a common problem with the iPod shuffle and newer versions of Mac OS X (10.6 and up) and iTunes albeit with somewhat varying symptoms but the same overall problem syncing the iPod with iTunes.
    The predominant go-to solution is to give the iPod more power by either connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on the Mac or by disconnecting all other USB devices. On paper this makes sense.
    What worked for me, however, was the opposite. After trying to solve this problem for hours (weeks, months), I had success ONLY after adding a low-powered 4-port USB hub to the chain between the iPod and the Mac. I suspect this had the effect of throttling the power supplied to the iPod from the Mac. I was able to perform a restore on the iPod then sync my music over.
    I can't tell you much about the USB hub except that it is running at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mb/sec). In theory a USB 1.1 extension cable should also do the trick. You might even be able to use the USB hub in old wired Apple USB keyboard. I will attach a photo of the hub I used to this post for greater clarity.
    I really hope this helps.

  • 2nd Gen iPod will not charge in Windows 7 machine.

    My 2nd Gen ipod will sync to iTunes just fine, but will not charge.  Windows 7 shows a problem (yellow triangle) in Devices.  I've got the latest Windows Updates, iTunes version, and iPod update.  It works fine with our Windows Vista machines, just not my newer Win 7 laptop.  What is going on?

    Is the iPod being plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 machine?  Are there any other USB devices plugged into the Win 7 machine? If so, remove them, reboot the machine and reconnect the Shuffle.
