Ipod shuffle lifespan 2nd generation

Whats the average life span of a Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation? what I mean is how long should the battery last and charge for before it compleatly dies.

I've had my 2g Shuffle for not quite a year... I use it exclusively for fitness purposes, so it's only used when I'm at the gym or out on a run, etc. It's typically on for an hour, maybe two, at a time. I can use it for probably 2 weeks (depending on frequency of use, of course) before my orange light starts up and I start to worry it might shut off on me. I also keep it in my car 90% of the time, so it does get hot/cold, etc.
No problems with it whatsoever. Apple says you should get 12 hours of life per charge. Not sure of the entire lifespan of the device...guessing that will vary based on your usage habits, how it's stored, etc. I'll use mine til it refuses to turn on anymore.

  • Wireless connection to ipod touch 8G 2nd generation

    I may have to use a different wireless router, (which could be one which uses wireless n), as i am having to change my broadband service provider. So can anyone advise me what wireless does the ipod touch 8G 2nd generation use (ie wireless b/g/n etc) & are they compatible with wireless n/wireless routers, or is wireless n backwards compatible/generic etc with all other wireless/devices.
    THANKS

    All the iPod Touch models are b/g except for the newest 4th generation which is finally now "n"..
    Yes, they are backwards compatible.

  • IPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation) w/ Software Version 1.0.1, iTunes does not find 1.0.2 update

    I have an iPod Shuffle (4G / 4th Generation / A1373) running Software Version 1.0.1. I know that version 1.0.2 is available. However, iTunes says that there is no update for it. I have reset the iPod Shuffle and tried everything I can think of.
    Any advice / information would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1.0.1 is not being recognized by the latest version of Itunes...11.1.3.  Really getting fed up with Apples "upgrades" obsoleting other hardware and software...particularly their own.

  • IPod sync with 2nd generation iPod?

    Hey gang-
    Is the iPod sync supported in iTunes 7 dependent on the most current iPods, or will it work with older iPods, like my 2nd generation iPod? I'd like to use the new iPod sync to sync my authorized MacBook and iMac.
    Dave

    Or am I misunderstanding your question?
    Perhaps. I'm referring to the new feature in iTunes 7 that allows an iPod to "push" purchased music to all your Authorized computers, thus ensuring that you always have your full Authorized music collection on all your Macs. In other words, as you sync your iPod with each of your computers, it sends the latest purchased music to each.
    Here is an article describing what I'm talking about:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/2586x.html
    So I was wondering if that works only with the newest iPods, or also with earlier ones.

(mini/standard usb). what the heck kinda ipod universe did his come from?

  • I have an iPod Nano 8GB 2nd Generation device which I retain for listening to speech mp3s only. Can I obtain a docking station/charger for this device?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod nano used for speech mp3s only. Can I obtain a docking station with or without charger for this device?

    Yes.  Have you tried looking on Amazon for compatible options?  There are still plenty available.  Here is one possibility.

  • Ipod Touch 16GB 2nd Generation

    I purchased a 2nd Gen 16GB Ipod Touch from Argos in October 2009. There is a kind of clicking noise when I touch the righthand side of the screen. The lefthand side makes no noise. I was just wondering what I should do as the 16GB is no longer availiable to buy.

    You have to buy updates through iTunes and install them through iTunes.
    You cannot update the OS directly on the iPod touch.
    If you already have 3.0 on the iPod then you will get 3.1 for free in iTunes.

  • Can I updated my iPod touch 8GB 2nd generation?

    Hi.. I have a old iPod touch with ios 2.2 and i try to update it but I couldn't do it, because a mistake takes off "iTunes couldn't restore ur iPod error (-1)". What Can I do?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Running OSX 10.7.5.  Updated iTunes to 11.0.1.  When iPod Shuffle 2nd generation is connected, I get a message saying the media is corrupted and cannot be read.

    Don't want to do a restore if I don't have to.  I have another iPod Shuffle, also 2nd generation that sychs with a different Macbook running iTunes 11.0.  No problems there.  Is there an issue with this software update?

    Reboot your computer.  Temporarily disable any security software, i.e. firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware, etc.

  • Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.

    unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.
