HT4310 I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal or do I need to change something with the settings?

I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal?

It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out. If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

IPod shuffle 3rd gen only holds charge for three hours

Ipod shuffle is a couple of years old but not used frequently. No linger holds a charge for more than three hours. Anything I can do to fix that?

Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

A few possibilities... (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
(1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
(2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging. Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
(3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
(4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle. Does it change from a power adapter?
(5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing). If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge. To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging? If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen. There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use. If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply. Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge). If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use. NOTE: When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

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
Riccardo

Ipod shuffle 4th gen only syncs first time connected

My ipod shuffle wont sync, charge, or be recognized by my computer! I'm on a late 2006 Macbook pro with all current software. (itunes 10.1.2 and mac os 10.6.6)
I just bought my ipod shuffle 4th generation and am having difficulties syncing it. The first time I plugged it in it showed up in finder, showed up in itunes, the little orange light on the ipod went on, and I successfully put some of my music onto it.
A day later when I plugged it in to put some more music on it my computer did not recognize it at all: it didnt show up in finder, it didnt show up in itunes, and the orange light didnt come on. I have checked and done the following things: made sure it's plugged in all of the way, tried other usb ports, unplugged other usb devices, restarted itunes, reinstalled itunes, and restarted my computer but nothing has worked so far. I then, to see if it was the cable that was not working, plugged it into my dads windows 7 laptop. It was recognized by windows and itunes that first time but the second time I plugged it in neither windows or itunes recognized it and the ipod's orange light didnt come on.
Whats up with this? What should I try next? I feel like this may be an issue with the ipod itself but does anyone have any ideas of things I could try on my mbp to see if it will sync?

When you say "hot beyond limits? do you mean that the iPod's screen showed the overheating warning?
Durring charging, the iPod can get quite warm. If you have a concern I would make an appoinment t the Genius Bar of an Apple store. How hot is hot is very subjective.

Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) only recognized on computer without iTunes

Hello,
I have a 2nd generation shuffle. Here is my setup.
One laptop running Windows 7
One Mackbook Pro running OSX 10.7.5
Both are running the latest version of iTunes
When I plug the ipod in to either of those computers, the power light flashes amber three times and then goes out. Neither computer recognizes the shuffle at all.
I have a third laptop that doesn't have iTunes on it. When I connect the shuffle into THAT computer, Windows detects the iPod as normal and charges it. I am also able to go into the device and see the songs on it.
I am also able to use the Ipod normally to play music, I just can't add any more music to it or charge it using one of my two main laptops.
I am using the original docking cable which isn't the problem as it works on the third laptop.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Scott.

In the latest iTunes, the sidebar may be hidden. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

Help with adding new song to 2007 iPod shuffle

I have an iPod shuffle from 2007 and just recently went to add new songs to it. Itunes program keeps telling me I have to erase everything and reload w/ new playlist I've added?? Confused, don't remember it working like this last year when I added songs. Any help??

With the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, it can only be associated with one iTunes library at a time. That has always been the design. It is basically like a mobile playlist for iTunes the library. The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles work more like the "bigger" iPods that have a screen, which is different from the very simple 1st and 2nd gen.
If you previously used this shuffle with a different iTunes library, iTunes is asking if you want to associate the shuffle with the iTunes library you are now using.
Any help??
What do you want to do...?

IPod Shuffle Error 1418: discovering more, let's try new ways

I tried to fix my iPod without success, reading every single message of this board or in googgle... and I found a interesting thing: the iPod Shuffle has the same behaviour of a DAMAGED pen drive or memory stick. Let's not focus on iTunes7, iTunes6, restore it, update it, etc.. it won't work. Let's focus instead on HOW to force Windows to recognize that there is a 1GB disk inside the pen drive we are attaching. The goal then is to format it via an utility like "HP Format tool" or via "Command": afterwards I think it would be a game to restore it in iTunes. We can try also with utilities for pen drives data recovery, I don't know
And about the cause of the problem, I found it could be that the iPod Shuffle can fail when removed without clicking on "Secure Hardware Remove" in windows
Ok, I tried to pull out some ideas, only alltogether we can have success. Apple abandoned us, let's face this situation and let's try to recover this iPod Shuffle, cause I can't accept I have to trow it and buy a new player.
Thanks and good luck

OK guys, after one week without sleeping, searching every corner of the web and every corner of dedicate forum (this site,iPodLounge,etc...), I have to give up. These are my final conclusions (I am an electronic engineering student here in Italy, I love music, I talked to a lot of collegues and friends, I asked for others opinions: I can't say I'm an expert, but I know where I'm putting my hands)
1) I tried the iPod Shuffle in Windows XP, MAC OS X & Linux. The computer can recognize that an iPod Shuffle is attached, but it's impossible to read what's inside (I/O error). That means it's impossible to see the CAPACITY of the disk, it's impossible to FORMAT it (failure of commands like fdisk, chkdisk, format, mount, etc...) or to use disk utilities programs like HP Format Tool, Disk Utility in the Mac, Windows USB, etc... With Linux we have the information that the operating system can't read the iPod Shuffle first memory block. And in Windows in fact we have the message "insert a disk"
2) For this reason it's impossible to fully restore the iPod with Apple utilities, just because we can't write on the flash memory of the iPod. This explains the 1418 error in iTunes 7 and the errors on the previous versions of iPod Updater. As I said before, iTunes recognize that the iPod is attached because it recognizes the hardware (as we can see in the Control Panel), but it doesn't recognize its flash memory and says it's corrupted (as we "cannot see" in the Disk Manager)
3) The iPod Shuffle has the same behaviour of a traditional USB pen drive with a damaged flash memory
4) I can assume that iTunes 7 has stressed the iPod Shuffle "burning some sectors" of the memory, it's just not a coincidence. Other reasons may be plugging out the device without clicking on "Remove securely hardware" on Windows taskbar, after the installation of iTunes 7. Anyway we must remember that iTunes7 incorporated the old iPod Updater, a new "iPod data usage" system, and a new volume limiter... Find your own conclusion..
5) For newbies, remember that the iPod Firmware is ON the flash memory (that's why in 1GB models you saw only 990 MB free). If we can't restore the firmware, it means we can't restore the flash memory.
So, if your warranty has expired, I suggest 2 conclusions:
1) Open your iPod and try to replace the flash memory with a new one.
2) Take your iPod with you, go to the nearest Apple Center, and stick it in the right place you can find there....
Good luck to all of you and thanks for your attention!
PS: 2 years ago I bought an iPod shuffle in Singapore, only to found in Italy that the button was spoiled. The replacement served me till last week, when I had the idea to install iTunes 7.
But 4 years ago I bought a 20 GB Creative Nomad Jukebox 3. He's still here doing his job, and smiling to me when I need him. I used him even to djing in smoky and wet parties... and Creative is a Singapore brand...

IPOD SHUFFLE PLUGGED INTO USB HUB BUT NOT BEING READ

I recently got a 4 port USB hub because I needed extra usb ports. I mainly use the hub to connect my flash drive, external hard drive and my IPOD shuffle, but the only thing that isn't getting read by the computer is the shuffle. Everything else that is conncected to the hub is being read by windows. The shuffle just sits there, when plugged into the hub, blinking a green light (which doesn't look normal). The hub itself is a 2.0 hub. HELP!

I had the same problem. FIRST, I had to remove the software that came with the original ipod shuffle. 2005/06/26, and replace it with the older version 2005/01/11 that I found on this site: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/220012/apple-ipod-ipod-mini-ipod-photo-ipod-sh uffle-software-updater-2005-01-11-windows-2000-xp-free-download.html
Once in a while it still doesn't recognize the ipod, but I think that's a usb port problem. Unplug it and plug it in again and it should be fine. Just make sure you remove the original software first in the add/remove programs section!
Also, if Mac is so good (according to some people on this site), why did Mac start using the Windows XP software and not vice-versa!!! haha
Good Luck!!!

Hello Polgas Epic Ride,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod shuffle 4th generation.
The iPod shuffle Dock is only compatible with the iPod shuffle 2nd generation as seen here:

You will need to use the Apple iPod shuffle USB Cable, which is compatible with the 3rd and 4th generation iPod shuffle:
