IPod shuffle 3G USB cable for 2G shuffle

Does anyone know why you can't use the iPod shuffle 3G USB cable to connect an iPod shuffle 2G to a Mac? The jack plug that plugs into the shuffles looks the same in both cases.

Although the plug looks the same, the "rings" have different meaning...

Exploit? - My iPod Shuffle 4G USB cable has IC's in its Type-A plug end

I purchased a cable for a Shuffle 4G and as a result of the cover from its Type-A USB connector-end coming loose I noticed some unexpected and potentially alarming chips installed on a PCB concealed within the connector cover.
This may be quite normal but to allay any fears I would like to know if the iPod Shuffle 4G's sync cable is 'active' - that is it understood that it will contain some electronics.
I want to assure myself that this cable isn't a USB Exploit device.

It's probably legitimate. I've taken apart the little "dock" for the 2nd generation Shuffle, and it contains a circuit board with a dozen or so components. They appear to be mostly passive (resistors and capacitors), not ICs, so it may not be "active" in the usual electronics sense of the word, but it clearly isn't just a plug and some wire. Thus, I would not be surprised to find electronics in the 4th generation USB cable.
Think about what the cable has to do. One end presents a standard USB "A" plug interface, with standard power and data in/out impedances and voltage levels. The other end plugs into a jack on the Shuffle that is a headphone output most of the time, and which might actually be playing audio at the time the USB cable is plugged in. So a certain amount of electrical isolation between the two interfaces is a good idea.

Cannot remove iPod Shuffle from USB port

I cannot physically remove iPod from the USB port on my Dell Latitude (Windows XP Pro). The device is recognized intermittently in My Computer. Powering the notebook off doesn;t solve the problem and I have done the "Five Rs".
The deveice is physically locked - can slide it partially from USB prot, but it does not release.
Any ideas?

Wow!!! Take it to a Apple or Dell computer shop and hope they can remove it for you

Connecting iPod Shuffle 4th Gen Loses Connection to External Drive Library

New iPod shuffle synchs OK to a laptop, but when connecting it to the home Dell desktop running XP, it is unable to synch. The iTunes Library is on an external USB Drive (W:) which has no problem synch with an iPod Touch. But although iTunes does recognise the iPod shuffle when it is connected, it fails to synch as it can no longer connect to the iTunes Library, iTunes can also no longer find any music.
On further investigation it appears as though for some reason the drive letter of the USB drive has changed. On disconnecting the iPod Shuffle, the USB hard drive then appears as F: in MyComputer! Rebooting or manually resetting the drive letter to W: seems to sort out iTunes.
I am relatively new to the iPod world and do not understand what is going on at all. Even Apple Phone Support cannot fathom this one. Anybody have similar experience?

The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible, does the shuffle appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES? If it does, you can refer to this document for general information about loading content to the shuffle.

Bios Hangs when Ipod Shuffle pluged in.

Hello,
I have an iPod Shuffle 512mb and whne I leave it pluged into a USB port my computer hangs at the intial bios screen. It hangs right after detecting the CPUs. I have a ASUS PC-DL (bios 1009) with 2x 1.6Ghz LV Xeons (overclocked to 2.64Ghz) and 2x512 Kingston Ram. I have read the support pages on this problem and it and have triend disbaling the "boot from other devices" (aka usb). This did not solve my problem. What I found interesting was that my computer hangs in a diffrent spot then were the tech article says it should. As stated it hangs right after detecting CPUs and not at the screen as if it was trying to load an OS from the Shuffle. If I do not boot with out the shuffle in the computer does not load. I have left the computer just sitting to see if it would load for ~30 minutes and nothing, as soon as I removed the shuffle and rebooted the system would it work.
I was wondering if anyone had similar problems or knew of any fixes.

IPod and iPod shuffle not connecting to PC b/c of USB ports

My dilemma is that my PC doesn't like to recognize my 2nd gen. iPod or my 512MB iPod Shuffle in the USB ports. Whenever i connect them it says "Hi-speed USB device attached to non-Hi-speed USB Hub." Obviously the problem lies in the PC, but it always used to recognize the iPod and now it won't. I am curious if anyone knows what the problem may be (with the exception of getting hi-speed USB ports) if they could help me out please!

I've been an Apple supporter long enough to be labeled a fanboy by some, but I've seen their software quality control fall off a cliff over the last year, culminating with anything and everything related to iOS 8 and Yosemite. This release has been an utter failure. And I'm not referring to short term lapses like the calamitous iOS 8.0.1 upgrade that virtually bricked people's iPhones, since at least that was corrected in a relatively short amount of time. I'm referring to virtually every tent pole feature that hasn't even remotely worked as promised: iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, Handoff, phone calls on Mac, AirDrop, etc. And now,. something as simple as recognizing a current generation iPod in iTunes. And that's not to mention the aforementioned software's impact to boot times on the Mac and battery life on the iPhone. It's sad and pathetic.
I may not have much of a choice when it comes to computers and smartphones, since everything else on the market is far worse, but I will not be spending another dime on this company's products or services until and unless they clean up their act.

Laptop won't boot after installing iPod Shuffle

I got a new iPod Shuffle and I installed the software from the CD provided onto my laptop (Sony VAIO running Windows 2000). Now the PC won't boot at all, not even in safe mode.
The boot starts out ok, but hangs forever with the Windows 2000 splash screen showing and the progress bar for starting up displayed.
In safe mode, the last system driver loaded was mup.exe. I followed some suggestion found on other web sites but nothing seems to help.
What has the iPod shuffle software done to my lpatop? How do I get the laptop to boot?
I can boot from a floppy. I can run the recovery from the Windows 2000 CD, but still the laptop will not boot.
Help!
Thanks
Chuck

As in 1st post, there is no last 'good' configuration as it is a fresh install of XP. Rolling back will just get back the default windows driver which cannot support the Nvidia NVS card. My goal is to successfully install the Lenovo Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m driver.
That said, could my problem lie with the XP version? The fresh install is XP SP0. If I update to SP3 do you think that will solve the problem (i.e. the graphics driver is written for later versions of XP)?

TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

Hello!
I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
I could really use some help solving this.
I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
Help a brother out, will you???

Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
- Turn off computer.
- Plug Shuffle into usb.
- Then you must reset your shuffle
To reset iPod shuffle:
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible

- Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
- Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.

If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

I just purchased an ipod shuffle (4th gen.) and I have been working trying to get it running for hours. I have followed all manuals and tutorial help. When I pull up my device manager, it shows an Ipod, but won't let me download the Usb driver.

I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running. I have gone through all of the help available. It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver. It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing. I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this. I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
Help, please.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

Hi,
my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.
