Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When I put in on my PC the yellow light flashes. I took it to an Apple repair store on Monday and the gentleman there charged it for me...and it fully charged. On wednesday I turned it on- no green light...
He said the yellow light should not be blinking when charging...what am I doing wrong???

My ipod touch is 3 months old is it under warranty for broken charger pins

my ipod touch is 3 months old i tried to plug the charger cable in yesterday and it would not plug in.Now it plugs in but struggles to charge will apple replace this for me? is it under warranty as it is only 3 months old?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out. Usually Apple says that damage is caused by operator erro/misuse and thus not covered by warranty

If not covered by warranty
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

IPod Shuffle problem ( old version )

The problem is that my computer just won't recognize my iPod shuffle . iPod is working but i just cannot load that .
thanks when u can help .

Hi Reins0,
you might want to try the iPod Five Rs Assistant.
Other than that, have you tried the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility? Be aware that you lose everything that is stored on your iPod when you use that utility.
You might get some more help in the Apple iPod shuffle (First Generation) Forum.
Hope that helps,
Lars

IPod shuffle problem with iTunes 7

In all previous versions of iTunes I had an icon of my iPod shuffle always visible on the left hand side of the screen underneath the library. This allowed me to drag and drop new content to this icon and remove old content. Then, when I plugged my shuffle into the USB port iTunes would update my shuffle with the new content and remove the old content. The icon of my suffle would stay displayed in iTunes even when my shuffle was not conneced to my computer.
Since installing iTunes 7. The shuffle icon only displays when my shuffle is synced to my Mac. When I unplug my shuffle the icon disappears. The other problem is that once I sync my ipod shuffle and start dragging content to the shuffle it automatically starts downloading and slows down the whole process of dragging a second or third piece of content to the shuffle.
I really liked having the ability to organize the content on my shuffle without having the shuffle synced. Any suggestions how I can get this to work in iTunes 7??
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Unfortunately, as you are aware, the Keep this iPod in the source list option does not exist in iTunes 7.
So the first thing you will probably want to do is let Apple know your feelings on the matter by submitting the feedback form on this support page .
Done that? Okay then, so now you'll probably want to make the best of the situation by figuring out if there's any kind of workaround to deal with the matter.
The best I can come up with is suggest that you create a playlist dedicated to your iPod shuffle which, for discussion's sake, we can call the iPod Shuffle Playlist.
Once you have created that playlist, when you connect your shuffle to your computer you can drag the Shuffle Playlist into your shuffle.
After disconnecting the shuffle you can get to work on modifying the Shuffle Playlist for your next update.
Note that you will have to manually clear the iPod shuffle's contents before putting a new Shuffle Playlist on it.

On trying to reset ipod, screen has now gone white, computer not registering it, can't turn off ipod. Its only five months old. Please help

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

New ipod shuffle problems..

I recently recieved a brand new ipod shuffle (first generation) from school. I went through the steps to install the software, then plug in the ipod. I have tried it in both USB ports on my PC but itunes still will not recognize it. The amber light is blinking, which means it's being recognized as a disk. When I first plug it in my Kodak Easyshare Software pops up as if my digital camera has been connected.
I have tried the "5 R's" to no avail.
Why isn't this shuffle working?

Hi Guillermo,
In thinking about your problem, I am wondering if the issue is one of permissions.
Is the account on the old iMac that you use to synch-up both iPod shuffles the same account name and uid as you use to synch the iPod shuffles on the new eMac?
Check and compare a typical AAC file on the old and new machines (ie. one that transfers OK and one that doesn't play at all). Select the file and hit Command-I to get the info window popup on each machine. Select "Ownership and Permissions" in the info window. Compare the owner and the group names listed.
Then, bring up NetInfo in /Applications/Utilities on each machine and select "Users" in the middle window. That will show a list of Users on the given machine. On each machine, select the User indicated in the info window and compare the value in the UID line. Even though you may have created a User with the same name on each machine, the order you created them in will determine their UID value. So you could have "guillermo" on each machine, but with different UIDs. Since what matters on OSX and UNIX is the value of UID, if the UIDs are different, the accounts are considered different.
Post back what you find. We can use the info window to change permissions to existing files, and can write-up an Applescript code to fix the permissions in the files you transfer in the future, if (as it sounds) this is a process you do regularly.
Sorry I don't speak, or write, in Spanish. I certainly recognize the added difficulty in solving this iPod problem that tranlating English into Spanish presents.

Please help diagnose iPod shuffle problem

Have a 1 GB iPod shuffle that is connected to an iMac G4 800 Mhz with 512 MB of RAM and running OS 10.3.9. I am having a problem that seems to be a common one. The iPod Shuffle simply won't mount. It doesn't show up on the desktop, doesn't run iTunes, doesn't show up in iTunes, and the iPod Software Updater keeps saying, "insert an iPod to update it", so it would appear the entire computer doesn't recognize it.
However, the iPod itself isn't bad, because when I plug it into a 12" PowerBook G4, it works fine. I have also managed to get the iPod Shuffle to work with the iMac under only one circumstance. If a wired keyboard is plugged in and the iPod Shuffle is plugges into one of the keyboard's USB ports, it works fine.
I have tried the following:
1. Complete update of every piece of software, including iTunes.
2. Permissions repair, then restart.
3. Unplugging all USB devices and plugging the shuffle into all three ports, one by one.
As I mentioned before, iPod Software Updater doesn't recognize the iPod. However, when I got a 12" PowerBook to recognize it, I ran the updater there, and it said the current firmware was up to date.
What else can I try?

Brad,
How about a few questions right back at ya!
Does it work every time when you plug it into the wired keyboard or did that just happen once? Since you mentioned a "wired" keyboard can I assume you would rather use a wireless one?
Since the keyboard worked fine but plugging the Shuffle directly into the 3 USB ports does not, my guess would be that the design of the Shuffle or USB ports make it hard to seat the device completely - you said the light was on but no mount happens, this might mean that it's not seated completely. I don't own a Shuffle and I would guess Apple would not design the ports badly but this is my guess if the keyboard, which plugs into the very same USB ports, makes the Shuffle mount.
Good luck and I hope you get the Shuffle going soon!

Big, confusing iPod Shuffle Problem

Okay, this is a confusing one, so read it carefully to understand it fully
The iPod shuffle in question is my ladyfriend's, bought in October 2005, and has never caused us a bit of trouble. Until last night.
Last night I downloaded and ran the new iPod Shuffle fix that Apple distributed (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303979) The iPod never had trouble in the past, but I wanted to keep up with the updates so that it stayed that way, and ran it.
After it had finished running and reset, the iPod dissapeared from the finder. I thought "great, all done and dusted." When I tried to plug it in again and add music, I went through the "what is it called" tabs etc. which come up when you first use a shuffle. It was on the Finder, in iTunes, all was well.
I noticed that after a few seconds, the iPod dissapeared from the Finder. Stayed in iTunes, but had seemingly vanished from everywhere else. This is interesting, as it's one of the things that the fix is supposed to solve in the first place!
This is my problem. The iPod vanishes when something tries to use it. If I enable 'disk use' on the device, it appears. Turn it off, vanishes again. The iPod vanishing tricks have given me some error:1418's, which were fixed to many on a website dedicated to the 1418 error who used the fix. Even running older updaters doesn't fix these problems.
I'd like to have this iPod stop dissapearing when I open programs such as iTunes, and have it work properly again.
If anyone can contribute anything to this, I'd be very appreciative.
Cheers everyone.

Solving Ipod shuffle problem

After a week of fighting with the ipod shuffle not playing songs and trying all of the suggestions I finally uninstalled the software and then reinstalled. Do not install software with ipod connected to USB. Windows attepts to format the ipod and I believe it affects the ipod.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Even though my ipod is about 7 months old, can i get a longer warrenty on it?

So i need a 1 year warrenty on my ipod just in case it breaks. So, I need to know if i can still get a warrenty if its about 7 months old.

Yes, you can purchase AppleCare as long as the standard 1-year warranty has not yet expired.
Important notes
The AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased only while your iPod or Apple TV is still covered under the standard one-year limited warranty. See AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete product details.

Ipod battery problem - 4 weeks old

I bought an iPod nano a month ago to use while I run. Recently, the battery has stopped holding a charge. It will not dock on my mac, and I've tried using the dock and the usb cable that came with it. It will not turn on at all - it just shows the dead battery icon. However, it works fine when I connect it to my cd player (using IP-BUS cable).
What could be causing this? Do you think sweat could have got into the nano and messed it up? Do you think I can send it to Apple and have them replace the battery? PLEASE HELP!!!

i recomend sending it to apple if it is only a month old.
you could have a bad battery.
this is not the first one ive heard of
one guy did not even have a battery installed in his ipod nano
so just send it and good luck.
also you can't mess up a battery by not fully charging every time, its just a myth

While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn
green UNLESS whatever is causing the light to blink
(access by iTunes, used as data storage drive, ...)
stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
hardware", it might display a solid orange...

NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
the USB port.
it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
It may very be. What happens when you press the
battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
anything?
it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
etc.
Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
disconnected?
first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
i got a red light

Itunes 7.5 and ipod shuffle problem

I installed the Itunes 7.5 and then attached the new ipod shuffle. The itunes brought up the ipod shuffle but only showed the agreement screen. When I typed in that I accepted the software agreement it would not go to any other screen. I can import music to the shuffle but you cannot see it in itunes; you only see the agreement screen for the shuffle. By the way, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software twice.
What is wrong with this software?

To fix this, do the following:
Close iTunes, click on start and go to control pannel.
(Make sure it is set to Classic View) Double click on displays.
Click on the settings tab and change your screen resolution size to 1024 by whatever and apply that.
Close out of this, open iTunes and you should have the OK button.
