Ipod shuffle 2GB issue

I have an ipod shuffle 2GB. I put 15 songs on it. When it connect it to my computer, it shows all 15 songs there (also saying there is 2.09GB available), however only 3 songs play. Any ideas?

I resolved the problem..
Its a issue with the Base Dock which we use to connect to the computer..
I just replaced it and it works great now..

When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located.

When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located. After I disconnect and reboot itunes it is all there. I have tried 2 shuffles. Both make my entire liberary dissapear once I click sync.

I'm not sure if the original poster ever got this issue resolved or not, but I'm having the exact same problem. My iPod shuffle is a 1Gig 2nd Generation, and I have all of my music library on an external hard drive. Before connecting my shuffle, I can play all the songs through iTunes perfectly fine, as well as sync them all to my 160GB iPod classic. As soon as I connect my shuffle, iTunes can no longer find or play any of my music, or sync any of it to the shuffle. In fact, it seems to make the external drive disappear from the computer entirely. When I right click My Computer->Explore, the external drive is still there, but no files are shown on it. After disconnecting the shuffle and rebooting the computer, the external drive is back to normal, until the shuffle is connected again.
For what its worth, this is a new problem, only started happening in the last couple months. I've had the shuffle for 2+ years now, and I have been syncing music to it from the external USB hard drive for just as long with no issues. Occasionally, I can sync 1-10 songs to it at a time before the external drive and all the music disappears, but for the last couple of days, the external drive seems to disappear as soon as the shuffle is connected.
Thanks for any help, I only use the shuffle for the gym/bike riding/snowboarding and I know they're fairly cheap to replace now, but I don't want to pay for a newer generation if I'll still have the same issue.

Your shuffle is not like your iOS devices. The shuffle itself is not involved (in any way) in purchasing and downloading from the iTunes Store. Your computer running iTunes is doing that part, and it does not care if you have a shuffle or not. Therefore, for your gift card, the IMPORTANT step is to make sure you are signed in to the iTunes Store using your Apple ID, on your computer.
Unlike your shuffle, your iOS devices (iPhone and iPod touch) ARE computers. They are used to purchase and download from the iTunes Store. That is why they need to be signed in ("registered") to your Apple ID.
Once you have added all of the songs to your iTunes library, whether the songs came from the iTunes Store, music CDs, or other source, THEN you sync your songs to the shuffle as desired. It does not matter if your shuffle is registered with Apple or not. That is just a serial number tracking procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with using the shuffle (or with using a gift card to buy songs from the iTunes Store).
It is important that you use the same Apple ID with the iTunes Store on the computer, that you use with your iOS devices. This is because you can reload previous purchases at no cost. So, if you purchased songs using that Apple ID on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can redownload them using the iTunes Store on your computer. Go to the iTunes Store Home screen, and click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. You need to be signed in using that same Apple ID. On the Purchased screen, you can re-download previous purchases made using that Apple ID.

Ipod Shuffle Dock Issues

My ipod shuffle 2nd generations connector has snapped off inside the ipod shuffle itself. Rendering both the ipod and dock useless. I have tried to call customer services but apparantly my serial number is not known and they cannot help me any further. I bought it from Comet in July. Can I take it back there?
Truly awful product. I'd just bought a USB adaptor too!!

I have the same issue. Called Apple in Israel and they said the warranty doesn't cover breakage but if I can get the piece out they'll be happy to sell me a new dock.
This was my concern from the first time I saw this ridiculous design for the dock. The previous fill USB connector was great. Why couldn't they have at least gone with one of those standard small USB to big USB cables?

Ipod Shuffle has issues

My ipod shuffle when i turn it on ir gives me this orange blinking light . and when it is connected to my PC it does nothing. but blink it's orange light. This is connected to a windows machine, when i look into device manager, i see the ipod but no driver associated w/ it i have tried to run the updater, it just sits at the initalizing phase !!
Can some one tell me what is wrong w/ it ? i have Also removed itunes, and ipod updater .. stopped and restarted the SVC as per the support docs on the apple site.
Please help !!

I was having similar issues. Tried updating, resetting the shuffle like they suggest,(which I am convinced does nothing,) and finally figured out a solution on my own.
Opened up my computer on my desktop and noticed my comp. was not recognizing it as the name I gave it but rather just removeable drive F:
I tried to open it and it said there wasn't anything there. After clicking ok my comp said that drive F: was not formatted and asked if I wanted to format it. I clicked yes and was on my way again.
See if that helps some of you.

HT1655 ipod shuffle 2gb not being recognised by PC nor iTunes

I have bought a new iPod shuffle but iTunes and the computer do not seem to recognise it. I do not want it to sync automatically and I wonder if I pressed something incorrectly when having a go the first time. I have rebooted the PC, I have tried different ports, I have looked at the help manuals (and they keep mentioning "Devices" on iTunes which I can't see).
I thought I was going to set this up for a Christmas present - and time seems to be running out.
Can anyone help, please?

I have checked everything out and found that the inserted cable needed an extra push (when it had felt as though it had gone in properly!) see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
I have now got all my tracks on it!
Good luck to everyone else!!

Ipod Shuffle Playlist Issue

I only use my ipod shuffle to listen to podcasts so I decided to organize all of them into one playlist in order not to have to jump around in voiceover. My idea with this was to create a playlist of podcasts, listen to them, and then delete that playlist and replace it with another. The problems is when I delete the playlist from my iPod it still list all of the podcasts from the deleted playlist on my iPod in the progress bar at the bottom, even though there is no podcast or playlist summary for me to access. The only way I have found to delete the listened to podcasts is to reset my ipod. Is there a way to delete a playlist and its content completely so I can put another playlist on it? I am unsure what to do since I am new to iTunes and iPod usage. Also, to clarify I am running the most current versions of iTunes and iPod software and I have the latest generation of iPod Shuffle. Thank you.

Does it connect to the car system through a USB port? A shuffle is a simpler device (especially if it's 1st or 2nd gen), compared to a nano, so some things that a nano can do, a shuffle cannot do. Interacting with your car audio system may be one of those things...
Also, if it connects using USB, is the car audio system also able to use a regular USB flash drive (with song files on it) connected to the same USB connection? If it is, when you connect the shuffle, the car audio system may be treating it like it was a USB flash drive (not an iPod). In that case, the car audio system is playing the songs (doing most of the work), and the shuffle is only acting as the data storage for the song files.
If that's the how it works with a shuffle, the "6" songs that DO play may indicate a file type. Maybe the car audio system can only play MP3 files, not AAC files. You shuffle may have 6 songs on it that are MP3 format, and the rest are AAC format. You should note down what 6 songs do play on the car audio system. In iTunes, find those songs and see if they have anything in common, such as the file type. You can do a Get Info (from a right-click) on the song in iTunes, and look on the Summary tab of the Info window, to see the Kind.

HT3472 IPod shuffle headphone issues

Mine will play for a while, but then just quit playing. I will try and plug in the ipod headphones right away but they won't work either then. Let it sit for a few hours and then it is fine. Anyone had a similar issue?

Mine will play for a while, but then just quit playing.
Is it running out of battery power?
What happens if you turn it OFF (with the switch), wait about ten seconds, and turn it back ON?

Can you describe that again in more detail? Not sure what you mean...
Let it sit for a few hours and then it is fine.
Do you turn it OFF (with the switch) during that time, or does it stay ON?
If you have not already, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. For a 3rd gen shuffle, select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. Click the Restore button. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. NOTE: If this is a 2nd gen shuffle, it's the Settings tab, not Summary.
Then, reload some songs and see if the problem recurs.

IPod Shuffle Skip Issues

I have had my Shuffle since November and am running into a strange problem. When using my Shuffle I can skip a random (3, 4, 12, 5, 10 ect...) number of songs in the skip mode and then all of a sudden my iPod stops working until I turn it off and back on again.
It will let me run through my songs in regular, nonskip mode but freezes everytime I use it in skip mode.
I have reset my iPod, reinstalled iTunes, restored the player and tried different USB ports in an attempt to fix the problem.
I was thinking that it could be trying to skip to a corrupt song or something like that, but I am not sure if that can cause a problem or not.
Any thoughts or ways to check for bad songs and repair them in iTunes would be greatly appriciated.
Also I am using XP Home Edition, iTunes 6, and the updater from a few days ago.
Thanks

IPod Shuffle Skipping Issue

I bought my iPod just less than 2 weeks ago and now recently it is just randomly skipping my music and not at the same point like a CD it just randomly skips everywhere, and I can hardly get it to play a whole song.
BTW I'm not pressing the buttons.
I'm thinking of returning it and maybe getting a new nano.
What should I do?

This is happening to me as well, I have some MP3's at 64kbps, mostly audiobooks, that ALWAYS skip, i've tried breaking the 15 mb, 30-40 minute filed into 10 minute chunks, with no help, when this first happened, i got a warranty replacement, thought it was a hardware issue, some of my music mp3s do it too (Also Sprach Zarathustra, 17:29 minutes, 128 kbps). every one of these files play flawlessly in itunes and on my previos 3G and 5.5G ipods.

IPod Shuffle Sync issues

I have a 4G Shuffle that I had to transfer to a new laptop with Win7. I copied the songs over and have iTune 10.5.2.11 and the songs show there and on the shuffle but on shuffle they are "grayed" and can't get shuffle to play.

The songs will appear grayed out in iTunes unless the Manually manage music option is enabled from under the Shuffle's Summary tab in iTunes.

How to sync the iPod (shuffle 2Gb)

I've already installed the iTunes. When I connect the iPod to the PC, it takes a long time to get the connection. When it connects to the PC, i tried to load songs from iTunes to the iPod, but it always notifies: "The iPod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found" while the iTunes LCD displays "the iPod sync is complete". And I turn to "my computer", I see the iPod as a removable disk, its capacity is "0Gb" . After so many times, I take it successfully (just 3 songs for example). And now, when i load more songs, that notice still come again.
My iPod is the new one.
Plz help me to sync the iPod! Thaks so much!
