I just found an I pod shuffle [I think?]

I just found an I pod shuffle [I think?]. The problem is it has a connector that is hard wired to it which is exactly like the one I use to connect my PC with my iPod, iPhone, iTouch. It also has a hole for a headphone on the other end. It don't have a input for a USB or any way to connect it to my PC. I did actualy plug it into my iPhone and it fit just right but a message came up on the phone saying this device don't work with the phone and should the phone switch to airplane mode. My question is, is it a shuffle? If it is how do I connect it to my PC and access itunes?
Thanks for any reply!

Lucky you then, here's some instructions to follow:

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated.  Am I just SOL??

    The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

  • I-pod shuffle & e-mac don't fit w/o spending more $$$

    hello out there-
    i gotta tell ya that i just bought my e-mac in aug 05, so i'm still paying for it....
    i live in a college town and every kid here has an ipod! i've been wanting just to get a shuffle since they first came out, cause it's just mainly for using at the gym...so, i finally decided to buy one in jan 06---big decision for me! $99 is still a chunk-o-change in my book! and the **** things NEVER GO ON SALE!! i hate that, cause i always buy on sale or clearance.(i'm not that cheap, just poor)
    then my e-mac says that there is nothing on the i-pod installer disc! and i just kept trying to get the little shuffle to plug into the usb port on the side of the computer--it just stuck out at an angle, which looked wrong to me but where else would the **** thing go....
    i am not a computer junkie and don't spend hours online or anything like that, so i didn't know what to do, so i just tried it again a few times over the weeks ahead....finally, i got in touch with an apple guy thru support and he types to me that the shuffle won't charge on the e-mac and that i would have to BUY a seperate port-thing to plug into the e-mac and it would charge the shuffle......how in the **** is a normal person supposed to know this! i get so frustrated trying to understand how all this crap works!
    like i said, i'm still paying for the **** computer and now i have to spend more money to get something for the i-pod shuffle to work with it!! I'M SO ANGRY, FURIOUS, AND RAGING MAD THAT APPLE COULDN'T JUST MAKE ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS TO WORK TOGETHER! and then to top that all off, Target just put the i-pod shuffle on sale for $69......story of my freaking life!

    Gee ... maybe the eMac preceded the Shuffle?
    The User's Manual and multiple other places all point out that the Shuffle won't fit into all ports on all computers. It also points out that you need a high-power USB port in order to charge the Shuffle, which the ones on the keyboard (the only one you can fully plug into) are not.
    The Shuffle will charge on an eMac, in the high-power USB ports on the side, but it will not fit into those ports. Neither would it fit into those ports on my G3 iMac, which I was using when I first got the Shuffle. Nor will it fit into a lot of other platforms.
    You need to get a Dock, for about $30, or get a short USB extension cable, for about $3. That's all you need.
    You can in fact plug your Shuffle into the keyboard ports on the eMac, assuming you're at least updated into later versions of Panther, and it will work there. You can mount it, use it as a Disk there, move music in and out of it ... everything except charge it. To do that, again, you need to plug it into the side ports.

  • Please help song order on new I Pod shuffle

    Hiya
    I have just bought an I pod shuffle to use while running etc and I can't for the life of me get the ipod to play songs in order I have set up. The Shuffle just keeps playing in alphabetical order.
    I have restored the ipod and tried to create playlist and still the ipod mixes the playlists up and just plays in alphabetical order.
    I am at a loss as to what to do. I have an i phone and used to have a i pod nano and never had a problem
    Please help.
    Thanks

    I COULD NOT BE MORE UNHAPPY WITH THE NEW SHUFFLE.  I RAN FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF TODAY AND HAD TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!!!!!!!!  WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A "SHUFFLE" SWITCH IF IT WILL JUST PLAY EVERYTHING IN ORDER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!   I HAD IT SWITCHED TO SHUFFLE AND USING THE ANNOYING VOICE OVER TO CHANGE BETWEEN THE ONE PLAYLIST I HAVE SYNCED AND THE HORRIBLE ALL SONGS MODE ONLY SERVED TO PLAY ALL THE SONGS IN ORDER!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF SHUFFLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

  • Lost I-Pod Shuffle 1st Gen. in NYC

    If you have found my I-pod shuffle in the NYC area please contact apple with the serial number. I am completely lost without it! Hopefully there is a good Samaritan somewhere in this city.

    Amen to that!
    The main problem, as I see it, is that the old Dell laptop did not have a burner. Instructions are provided on how to transfer files via DVD / CD by disk -+if the machine has a burner+. I’ve gone so far as to insert an SD card reader / adapter into the USB port on the host Dell laptop computer, download the music files onto the card, remove the card from the laptop, insert it into my new Dell office desktop (Vista 64 os) that has a burner, transfer the files from the SD card onto that hard drive and then burn those MPEG4 files onto a 4.7 gig DVD. Subsequent top that, I inserted said disk into the new Acer and added all files to the Itunes library.
    The file transfer took, but the music will only play if the disk is in the drive.
    I also attempted to load the files using the Apple tutorial for importing CD’s. Only problem is, there is no import function present as shown on the tutorial. Itunes is, without a doubt, a major source of aggravation and a complete waste of my past two days! And... no Apple has virtually no support!
    Does anyone have a suggestion?

  • I just bought the latest ipod shuffle to use with another older one. But when I tried to download updates and charge the new shuffle it is nowhere to be found. The new download is not recognized

    I just bought the latest ipod shuffle and want to put my library songs on it. Why when I tried to install the latest version of i-tunes nothing happened. My new pod is connected to my laptop USB 2.0 port but it is nowhere to be found. Why is this new shuffle pod not recognized?

    You downloaded iTunes AND installed it, right?  What you downloaded is the installer, which installs the iTunes app (and other things like drivers) on your computer.  You then have to run the iTunes app.
    If you did that already, make sure the USB docking cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
    When connected, the shuffle's light should come ON.  That indicates it is getting power.  If it blinks orange (at least initially), that indicates it is connecting for data.
    If you are good so far, in iTunes, the sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden.  If it is, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When the shuffle is connected, it should be listed in the sidebar, below DEVICES. Does it appear there?

  • I have just got the new i-tunes but when i connect my i-pod shuffle to it unlike the older version it does not show what tunes i have on the shuffle at least i can,t find them is there something i am missing somewhere

  • I have I pod shuffle but it is just displaying White with a tick in the centre and says ok to disconnect but I can't get anything to work eg menu etc

    I have I pod shuffle but is displaying a White blank with a tick in the centre below it says ok to disconnect but unable  to move from this page

    This is an iPod shuffle...?  A shuffle has no screen, so your problem description does not make sense.  Your profile says "iPod nano," so is this question about an iPod nano?  If so, have you tried doing a Reset?

    Rolland,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    2 nonfunctional iPods in a row. Did you even consider there might be something else preventing it from working? What have you tried so far to get it working? There may be a simple explanation/solution. If you still have the second one post back with details. Maybe some of us are able to get your shuffle shuffling.

    I seem to be having the same issue. How did you restore your iPod?

  • HT1473 how can i get my library to copy from my i-pod shuffle to my computers i-tunes library?

    How do you get a library to copy from an i-pod shuffle to the i-tune library on the computer?

    If you have not done so, you may want to restart your computer.
    That message (about the song file not found) means iTunes cannot locate the song file where it expects to find it.  Are you sure you can still play the song in iTunes (?), because you may get a yellow exclamation point next to the song, meaning the same thing; iTunes did not find the song file where iTunes expected to find it. 
    The consolidate command would not help if iTunes can't locate the files.
    That might mean they were moved or deleted.  If you do a Get Info (from right-click) on one of those songs, the Info window should tell you the expected location of the song file, on the Summary tab next to Where.  Follow that path (using Windows) to see if the song file is there.

  • How do I add songs to i-pod shuffle in the new iOS 6.1.2 screen format?

    I recently updated to the most recent apple software  (iOS 6.1.2) I recently purchased songs from the I-tunes store, but cannot figure out how to add them to my i-pod shuffle.  The format looks different.  Is there a step by step guide to teach me how to navigate through the updated screen?
    I really want to listen to the music I just purchased and add other songs from my I-tunes library.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close

  • HT1510 I pod shuffle 3rd gen

    Hi there, for the i pod shuffle 3rd gen where can I get a new clip the shiny metallic one because my one is really scratched and I was looking to replace it, Many Thanks

    You can't buy a new replacement for the clip, as far as I know.  There are online stores that sell used iPod parts, although a quick search using Google did not reveal anyone with that particular part.  You could buy a broken 3rd gen shuffle on eBay that looks to be in good shape externally, and swap parts.  Otherwise, if it's working, I'd just keep using it as is. 

  • Best price for i-pod shuffle

    I am looking to buy my son an i-pod shuffle for Christmas. Has anyone ran across a great place to buy one? Where will I get my best deal? Thanks! Kellyd

    Kelly,
    I just bought an iPod Shuffle recently for $53.00 on eBay. It was almost too good to be true, but it really happened.
    The cheapest one I've seen around there besides that was about 65 dollars.

  • I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    Thanks.  The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to.  The one is was synced to was stolen.  If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?
