Ipod Shuffle Podcast playlist - 1st generation

I have no problems downloading and playing my podcasts. But I can't follow the instruction of reordering the playing. I load them in the order I want them to play. I don't understand how to play them in the order I loaded them to my Ipod. I highlighted the "song" in the the header and then go down to try to select a song to move it up or down...but that won't make it reorder to a higher or lower position. Obviously podcast "tHree" is playing before "Two" because it is alphabetically higher than "tWo". Any suggestions? I can group them but I want to order them non-alphabetically by "song".

I load songs onto my iPod Shuffle - 1st
generation.
I play my songs in sequential order, but it skips
songs with no apparent rhyme or reason. When I
connect my shuffle to iTunes, I see all the songs
I
loaded, and the songs will play on iTunes.
Also, the songs that are skipped are not always
the
same ones. For instance, I load the iPod the first
time, and it may skip songs 1, 5, 9, etc...
whereas
the next time it may be song 2, 6, 8, etc...
I tried using the Restore function with iTunes,
and
the iPod Reset Utility, but I have had no luck.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Your slide switch may actually be in "shuffle" as
opposed to play-in-order... slide it back and forth
a number of times to free it of any crud that may
have gotten under it, then position it in
play-in-order. IF shuffle still skips songs, press
the PLAY/PAUSE switch quickly 3 times. That should
result in either beginning to play the FIRST song
again OR a completely different song. If the latter,
you're actually in "shuffle" mode.
Thanks for the response. That's a pretty good idea.
However, it appears that is not the problem. I did check the button, and it seems to play sequentially for the most part. I did the triple-click check that you mentioned, and it goes back to the first song in the list.

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

IPod Touch Podcast Playlist Issue

I have a brand new iPod Touch and my podcast playlist has disappeared off my device. Twice.
When I plug it into my computer, I see the playlist in iTunes as if nothing has happened. Episodes were initially downloaded through iTunes and transferred onto the iPod. They were updating fine until yesterday when it was syncing up the data and the playlist showed zero episodes.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete all podcasts and resync
To delete all Podcasts go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Podcasts and delete them if you can
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation)

Hi I just got and ipod touch 1st gen and the version it has is 2.2.1 but I can't download any apps
what can I do?

I don't think an 8GB 2nd-generation iPod touch would be worth $100, though, since it can't run the most recent versions of iOS nor many apps. You can get a new 8GB fourth-generation iPod touch for $179 (from places like Amazon, or from Apple after the 10% credit they'd give you for recyling that broken 2nd-gen unit), and used ones for as little as $130 (or perhaps less from private sellers). 3rd-gen iPods (32GB and 64GB) probably can be found for around that price as well. So it might be a better use of your funds to put the $100 toward a more recent iPod touch.
Worth thinking about, anyway.
Regards.

Ipod shuffle 2nd and 3rd generation

is the 3rd generation shuffle able to use the 2nd generation dock. speaker...
looks like it uses the headphone jack like the 2nd generation, if they are the same size and interchangable????

No compatibility with the 2nd gen dock... and no compatibility between the
3rd gen audio plug<->USb cable and the 2nd gen shuffle.
As far as audio connections are concerned, the audio out for both work with
any device accepting audio at the levels the shuffles put out.

Help with Restoring my IPod Shuffle 1 GB

My IPod shuffle 1 GB (1st Generation Model) had some problems 2 days back wherein it was not showing up on ITunes (I had an older version) while in My Computer it was giving an error say Disk I/O Error. I first installed ITunes 7.0 and then connected my IPod but it was unable to download the update (some firewall issue) So I tried using the IPod shuffle reset utility and it stops after a few seconds saying "ipod restore failed. Error: -25"
Can anyone tell me what I could do to get my shuffle up n runnin again. Pls help. Thank you in advance.

My IPod shuffle 1 GB (1st Generation Model) had some problems 2 days back wherein it was not showing up on ITunes (I had an older version) while in My Computer it was giving an error say Disk I/O Error.
i usually associate those I/O errors with a flaky USB 2.0 connection.
have you added any other USB 2.0 peripherals to you system lately? if so, do you get better recognition if you unplug them prior to attaching the shuffle?
(sometimes power drain through one USB port can affect an ipod connection through a different port, which is what i'm checking on here.)

Connecting iPod Shuffle 1st generation (Early 2005) to Windows Vista

Hi
I bought a early iPod Shuffle in 2005 and installed it on a Windows Xp Computer. The installation disk was for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The iPodWorks fine even now.
Want to install it on a Windows Vista Computer. Does not install properly. iPod not recognised. iPod never appears in the iTunes windows. I assume it needs a USB driver for Vista. Nothing on the Apple support website or so far as I can see in the discussion group for 1st generation iPod shuffles.
Regards

The 1st gen shuffle has REALLY excellent sound. It is better than 2nd gen shuffle, and other iPods, for sound. Because it has a separate docking connection (the USB plug), it is the only shuffle that can play music while it is charging. Plus, I like being able to hold it in my hand and control it (not clipped).
Because I liked it so much, a few years ago, I bought some broken ones being sold on eBay. Using these instructions
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle_1st_Generation
I took them apart and tried to assemble working ones by swapping parts. Fortunately, the 1st gen shuffle is small, but not tiny. Unfortunately, the most common failure point (by far) was USB plug component (including a very delicate ribbon cable that connects to logic board). I have plenty of "spare parts" now, except for that USB plug part. So I am VERY careful when connecting and disconnecting my remaining working 1st gen shuffle, and try to do it as infrequently as possible.

Ipod shuffle not playing songs in a playlists order

I am having a problem with my ipod shuffle after the 7.2 update. when I make a playlist for podcasts to play in a specific order, i copy the podcast to a new playlist and click on the left most column on the numbers. This is supposed to tell the shuffle to sort the list by the numbers and play them in order.... WELL its not doing that, when I sync it to the ipod shuffle the playlists keeps rearraging the podcasts or songs in what ever order it deems. I DO NOT have the shuffle button turned on in itunes nor on the shuffle itself. and in both the ipod shuffle contents tab and the playlist that i dragged over to the shuffle both number columns are marked... so there is no reason that i can see for it not to play in order... Is anyone else having this problem? and if so any ideas on how to correct the problem. THanks for your possible help...

well it should be any problem but incase ther is!!! try visit nearst apple retail/ service centre to do the trouble shooting

How to change the equalizer settings in iPod Shuffle 4th generation?

Hi, i own iPod shuffle 2nd and 4th generation. I used to use Sony and sennheiser earphones to listen to them. The problem is I cant get the maximum performance of the earphones on my iPod, unlike in laptop. It is because I can't adjust the Mid, Bass, and treble level in Shuffle. Does anyone knows how to change its equalizer settings?

You can't there are no equalizer settings on the Shuffle. Incidentally, if you are just wanting to boost the bass that is not getting the most performance from your headphones that is just making the bass abnormally loud.

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

Ipod shuffle headphone problems

Recently, there was an update to my ipod shuffle. Since that time, my headphones are not working correctly. The buttons on the headphones, which use to monitor volume and shuffle are useless and the ipod has a tendancy to go into voice over mode...help?

When encountering this message, your iPod may simply need to be reset. This can be accomplished without a computer:
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"

To reset iPod shuffle:
1. Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
2. 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.
1st generation
2nd generation
3rd generation

3. Wait five seconds. For iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation), wait ten seconds.
4. Move the switch to the play in order or the shuffle position. The green stripe will be visible in either position. For iPod shuffle (2nd and 4th generation), slide the power switch on (and you can see the green stripe).
