I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable). A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)

There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle. And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

No, they are different. If you look at the replacement part for the 4th gen shuffle's USB cable

it says it's only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.

TS1369 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle with Windows 8?

How do you get a 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle compatible with Windows 8? (it works on just fine in earlier versions)
If you plug it in through a USB connection it blinks orange/green really really fast. It is not recognized neither by Itunes or Windows (PC), Not recognized nor taking any charge.
I first thought it just came to the end of its life, but then plugging it in with my old laptom (Windows XP) and another laptop (Widows Vista) it worked just fine.
I have the newest version of all my software, so this has to be a driver compatibility issue, the question has Apple solved it yet?

I asked about the USB docking cable because some folks who also have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle were trying to use the cable from those shuffles with a 2nd gen shuffle. Or they bought a replacement part that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. It fits, but the connector is different, so it does not work.
You have determined that the shuffle and its cable work properly when connected to a different computer. Since the Windows 8 computer is a new computer that was not used with this shuffle before, the cause could be related to the computer's hardware or software.
As a test, if you have another device that is similar to an iPod, such as a USB flash drive or a mini external hard drive that is powered by the USB port (not something low-power like a mouse or keyboard), connect it to the computer's USB port to confirm the port does generally work for other things.
If the USB port is confirmed to work for other devices, if you have a USB hub, as another test, connect the hub to the USB port. Perferably, the hub is the type that is self-powered (has its own power supply). Connect the shuffle to the hub to see if that makes any difference if the hub is between the iPod and the computer.

2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port, 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port

Hi,
My 2nd generation ipod shuffle will not connect to any usb 3.0 port. I've tried on to computers -- one Windows XP and the other Windows 7. Any ideas?

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.

PLEASE IGNORE LAST QUESTION RE: 2nd Generation IPod Shuffle Connection

Let's try that again. I currenty have a 2nd generation ipod shuffle that works on my laptop just fine...most of the time. My roomate, however, is having a lot of problems trying to get her's to work on her desktop pc. I need to know if she can use my laptop with her IPod Shuffle as well. I think she can, I just do not have a clue how to do it. Any help with step by step instruction would be great! Normally I Know just about everything with Windows. This one has me confused. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

You select one or more songs in the Music library. Then you click-hold-drag the song(s) and drop onto the shuffle under DEVICES. If you don't see the shuffle under DEVICES, click the little triangle to drop down the list.
The easier way to put songs onto the shuffle is create a new Playlist. Name it "shuffle songs" or whatever you want. Put the songs you want on your shuffle into this playlist. Then connect your shuffle, go to the shuffle's pane in iTunes, and click on the Contents tab. At the bottom of that tab is the Autofill controls. Select to +Autofill from+ the playlist you just created and populated. Click the Autofill button to sync.
This is better because you can decide what to put on the shuffle the next time without the shuffle connected, AND when you sync, it's done all at one time, instead a few songs at a time if you do it manually.

My 2nd generation iPod Shuffle suddenly quit - Fix?

My 2nd generation iPod Shuffle suddenly quit on me just recently with no warning.
The lights indications say t has no music on it but connecting it to the computer shows the loaded tunes. I tried a full reset and reloaded the tunes but still no joy.
Further reading suggests either a dead logic board or a sick battery.
As a last resort I am wondering if anyone knows of a software approach before I get the tools out and start pulling it apart.

I've found my own answer...
I was getting the green-orange-green-orange sequence of lights which all the info I had found to date said was the "No music" code. As I could see the MP3s on the iPod in iTunes I knew there was were MP3s on it.
Various knowledge seraches I did suggested adud battery or dead logic board - both terminal problems for this model unless you have spare parts ( which I do, courtesy of friends who have retired their Gen 2 iPods).
Then I found that under recent versions of iTunes (V 8 or later) it won't recognise podcasts or audio books as being present if you have the iPod set on shuffle.
I only ever listen to podcast and audio books on my Gen 2 AND had bumped the mode switch onto shuffle resulting in an apparently dead iPod. Put the mode switch back to continuous and it's working again. Stupid !
I love Apple products but I'm also a firm believer in the principle of "If it ain't broke don't fix it". All too often I seen Apple 'fix' something that wasn't broken over the 25 years I've been an Apple user.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?
