Ihome and second generation shuffle

Does anyone know if there is anything available that will make a second generation shuffle work with Ihome? I love my Ihome, and am thoroughly disgusted it will not work with my new shuffle. I've seen posts saying the new shuffle will only charge on Ihome, but I've not seen any postings showing a fix. HELP!!

IHome clocks and audio systems have an audio-in which can be used to connect your shuffle's audio-out port (earphone jack) using a cable that has a 3.5mm (mini) plug on both ends...
Otherwise you can use the Griffin Technology iPod shuffle dock adapter:

Note that with Griffin's adapter your shuffle either plays or charges but NOT both simultaneously.

  • I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging ) the green battery light is on - soon after it turns orange and then red. Is there a problem with the battery and is it fixable?

    I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?

    If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point.  The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
    It is technically fixable.  This web site has repair guides
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
    But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things.  The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty.

  • Second Generation Shuffle compatibility

    Looking at getting a shuffle for my daughters birthday and just wondered if al a second Generation Shuffle will work with OSX Panther?

    Hi johnforshaw2003
    i'm sure that as long as you have the latest version of itunes it will work but just wait for someone else to confirm that but thats my view. The computer should if you have installed all of the updates and if you have the latest version of itunes it should work, having the latest version should enable it to be detected.

  • Second Generation Shuffle Problem

    My situation is the following: My new 2nd gen. shuffle seemed to work fine for about one day. Now, without having abused it it doesn't seem to work at all.
    It will sometimes be recognized by iTunes 7.0.2, but only after docking and undocking a couple times, and when recognized I can play songs through iTunes. However, when I undock it (and I do this the proper way) it either acts completely dead (with no lights or anything) or acts like it should be working, but doesn't play music through (otherwise fully functional) headphones or speakers. I should also note that if left on the dock for a while it sometimes seems to get a bit warm to the touch, but this might be normal.
    Anyone else having this problem? My Shuffle might just be a dud!
    P.S. I already reset it to factory conditions (when I could get it to be recognized) but this didn't solve anything.

    It seems like this is my only forum option unless i post under "connecting the ipod shuffle" which is the lesser of my two problem (it sometimes connects but never plays music while separated). I'm new at this so I may be missing something.

  • Can I use a 3rd and 4th generation shuffle cable to charge and sync a 2nd generation shuffle?

    I have a 2nd generation ipod shuffle that belongs to my sister-in-law, but she cannot find the cable.  I was wondering if I purchased a cable, intended for 3rd or 4th generation shuffles, would it still work?

    No.  It fits, but the connector is different.  This is the official replacement part
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
    There are also third-party replacements that cost less.  Some have a mini-dock, some just have the plug, and some don't even have a cable between the plug for the headphones jack and the USB plug.  Just read the product description to make sure it is for the 2nd gen shuffle. 

  • How can I get my second generation shuffle to accept all songs?

    When I try to add certain songs, it will not copy them. It will begin the synching process, then cancel synching. I will check the playlist and the song will not be there. I retry multiple times. It is not because the memory is full. It will let me add other songs after a failed synch. Removing my ipoid and putting it back does not help. For the first fews years I had the shuffle, it worked fine and accepted any song. Over the past six months, it has begun doing this. How can I get it to accept all songs again? Is there a way to restore it? Will that help? Thanks!

  • Using both 1st and 2nd Generation Shuffle on the same computer

    After owning a 1st Gen Shuffle for a number of years, today I decided to upgrade to a 2nd Gen.
    What I would like to know is, can I use both shuffles on the same computer, through the same iTunes program, using the same music library?
    There's nothing wrong with the 1st Gen unit, but I still want to use it as a back-up/secondary unit to the 2nd Gen one.
    I have yet to connect the 2nd Gen unit to my computer. Before I do I would like to know whether or not I can use both the old and the new units. Also is there anything special I need to do to allow this to happen.
    thank you.

    Nothing special to do. Connect new iPod and let it sync. Make sure only one is connected at a time.

  • Will a second generation shuffle sinc to more than one computer

    I am having problems getting my shuffle to sync to my new computer, it worked fine on my old one. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was told it would sinc to only one computer

    I'm having the same problem.  I plugged my ipod shuffle up to new cpu and 3 orange blinks.  CPU nor Itunes will recognize my device.  Very Frustrating!

  • IPod shuffle second generation shuffle button broken?

    The shuffle/order button is supposed to stay in place once you push it to play songs on either shuffle or in order, but my button must be broken because it'll just flop over to the other side if you tip it...this only happens if it's pushed to play songs in order. Since the in order button won't work, I can't play podcasts =[. What should I do? apple.com doesn't list this under one of the problems that shuffles have....please help!

    That just sounds like it's broken. Not much you can do. If it's under one year old, you may be able to get it replaced under warranty. If not, you can get another one, including a new set of earbuds, for $39 at the Apple Store refurb (Special Deals) page.

  • 1st Generation Shuffle and iTunes

    I have a 1st generation shuffle with the original itunes software loaded up on a windows PC. My roomate has a second generation shuffle with itunes 7.6.
    Will my 1st generation shuffle operate using itunes 7.6 or should we have two separate versions of itunes on our computer?
    Also, my 1st generation shuffle uses some USB-based headphones. At what point in the software saga will they stop working? Does anyone know?

    The original shuffle will work fine with any version of iTunes that came after it was introduced, including the current version 8.1.1.
    Also, my 1st generation shuffle uses some USB-based headphones.
    What product is that? iTunes is always being updated, but the software on the 1st gen shuffle will probably not get updated anymore at this point. Each new version of iTunes will just install the same internal iPod software if you do a Restore. Therefore, any peripheral that works now will probably keep working.

  • Second gen shuffle causes computer to crash

    I received a brand new second generation shuffle today and after downloading the new itunes and plugging it in it causes the computer to crash (blue screen) due to a problem with the device driver. I reinstalled itunes and still am having problems. Help!

    Interestingly I had this last night. Used the shuffle, attached to my MacBook... closed the macbook, unplugged the shuffle and the macbook sprang into life (while closed). When I opened it, I had the kernel panic screen and had to power it off.
    I've updated the firmware to 1.0.1 this morning, hopefully that will stop it happening again.

  • IPod touch 1st and 2nd generation logic

    Why would Apple leave the first and second generation ipods? i mean sure there old but if you actually think about it be cause we can't recieve any more updates we aren't able to by apps we want and then that won't make Apple money, and i know they want to make money so they should use logic and see how much better this can be if they try this.

    The logic is the same with any electronic device like iPhones, iPads, iPods, smart phones, Tablets and computers. The time they are made, they are the best, but this thing off technology is advancing to fast.
    So, in order for you to be able to have all the apps you want this days we need to have a device that can handle them, like a computer e.g: you need to keep upgrading or by new ones.
    Same thing with Apple, since is not possible to upgrade the device we have, we need to get new ones.
    I do understand where you´re coming from but that how things are.
    Apple think different for people that think different.
