IPod shuffle second generation shuffle button broken?
The shuffle/order button is supposed to stay in place once you push it to play songs on either shuffle or in order, but my button must be broken because it'll just flop over to the other side if you tip it...this only happens if it's pushed to play songs in order. Since the in order button won't work, I can't play podcasts =[. What should I do? apple.com doesn't list this under one of the problems that shuffles have....please help!
That just sounds like it's broken. Not much you can do. If it's under one year old, you may be able to get it replaced under warranty. If not, you can get another one, including a new set of earbuds, for $39 at the Apple Store refurb (Special Deals) page.

Ipod shuffle second generation with shuffle third generation adapter
I have an Ipod shuffle second generation but the adapter broke. I went to Wal-Mart and all they had was the 3rd generation adapter and I need to know if it will work on the 2nd generation Ipod shuffle.

Ihome and second generation shuffle
Does anyone know if there is anything available that will make a second generation shuffle work with Ihome? I love my Ihome, and am thoroughly disgusted it will not work with my new shuffle. I've seen posts saying the new shuffle will only charge on Ihome, but I've not seen any postings showing a fix. HELP!!
IHome clocks and audio systems have an audio-in which can be used to connect your shuffle's audio-out port (earphone jack) using a cable that has a 3.5mm (mini) plug on both ends...
Otherwise you can use the Griffin Technology iPod shuffle dock adapter:

Note that with Griffin's adapter your shuffle either plays or charges but NOT both simultaneously. -
I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?
If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point. The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
It is technically fixable. This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things. The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty. -
Second Generation Shuffle compatibility
Looking at getting a shuffle for my daughters birthday and just wondered if al a second Generation Shuffle will work with OSX Panther?
Hi johnforshaw2003
i'm sure that as long as you have the latest version of itunes it will work but just wait for someone else to confirm that but thats my view. The computer should if you have installed all of the updates and if you have the latest version of itunes it should work, having the latest version should enable it to be detected.

Hello friendly Apple Experts,
I recently had an unfortunate incident when my iPod touch third generation went for a swim. While we waited for it to recover I dug my old iPod touch second generation out of storage (when it was put it into storage it had been completely restored)
Initially it took several hours to even begin charging. It would go from Charging Logo --> Apple Logo (loading screen) --> Black Screen, and start over again. Eventually it was juiced up enough to get to the home screen. After this it reverted to it's normal three hours, or so, of charge time. At first it was running like it did when it was first bought, the battery life was still exceptional. So I synced it to iTunes and loaded it right up.
However, a few days later we dug the other iPod out of the rice and it seemed to be working just fine. So I began to use both, one for travel, the other for at home. Unfortunately the second generation one was put aside for about four weeks and the battery completely drained. Since I had initially rebooted the iPod it had not been completely drained again. At this point, it has been plugged in for several days and goes in a continuous loop of: Charge Logo --> Apple Logo --> Black Screen and then back again. And on yet another sad note, the battery life for the third generation one has been affected very negatively by its little dip.
To be honest I never wanted the third generation one to begin with, the only reason I bought it was because the second generation’s software became completely obsolete.
Anyway, my questions are...
What has happened to my beloved Second Generation iPod touch?
Is there any way to fix it?
and...
Is there anything I can do to prolong the life of the Third Generation device?
Thanks so much,
A friendly Apple consumer.Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Yo can purchase a replaement battery for about $10

IPod Nano Second Generation Freezes Every Morning
I bought an 8G iPod Nano second generation about a month ago. I love it! I use it with Windows XP. Every morning when I turn it on for the first time, it freezes up when I play a Podcast or Audio book. It also does it with songs but not as much. I push the reset buttons for 5 seconds until the Apple symbol comes up, it resets and then it works fine for the rest of the day.
It seems like it gets messed up after I connect it the iTunes library on my computer. Does any one else experience this problem?
Dell Windows XPI'm not sure you were experiencing the same problem:
1. Sync iPod.
2. Let iPod fall asleep for some period of time (a few minutes doesn't cause the problem; beyond 15-20 minutes does).
3. Awaken iPod and play a podcast -> iPod freezes.
I and many others have experienced this same problem. Yet, I don't have any life updating smart playlists referring either to podcasts or to playlists not on the iPod.
Sometimes, playing a song track before playing a podcast will work. If the song plays, subsequent podcasts will, too. However, the song track often freezes, too.
Also, if you reset the iPod at any point between synching and playing the podcast, the problem is averted.
Apple has yet to acknowledge this bug despite the multiple threads. I presume that the scenario required to reproduce it is still rare (synching podcasts yet waiting for some time before playing the first one).

IPod Nano Second Generation and Factory BMW iPod Adapter
I am considering either an iPod Nano Second Generation or an iPod Mini to put in my 2008 BMW, since I have the BMW iPod adapter.
I have noticed that the iPod Minis are a lot cheaper than the second generation Nanos.
Is the Second Generation Nano a good fit for the BMW or should I go with a Mini? Thanks!I take it you are looking to buy a used iPod, since neither of these models is currently available as a new item.
I'd go with the Nano as it does not have a physical hard drive like the Mini has.
