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 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.

Can't get iTunes to sync from hp laptop to iPod shuffle. What am I doing wrong?

I have iTunes on an HP laptop and I can't get songs moved from iTunes to the shuffle. If I open the shuffle on the laptop, it seems the songs are on it, but if I go to listen to the new music, they're not there. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help.

Hey there web300!
You are looking in the right place for all that information! You do need to be completely logged on (at the top right) in order to see all the values.
If you are not getting the best signal, you can also change the security type under Wifi settings and Security. Various types can work better with certain computers. Do not make it an open network however.
What zip code are you in that this is happening? Is it only indoors? Let us know and we can take a look on the network side.
Thanks!

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I
Jay

IPod shuffle second generation not compatible with latest iTunes?

Edit: re-reading this message I notice I say sync when talking about the iPod shuffles. Note that there is NO sync option shown in iTunes, only auto fill. Whenever I say sync regarding the shuffles, I mean auto fill. Syncing for the iPod Touches works fine though.
My sister recently got three iPod touches for her family and I helped set them up. I had no problems setting them up at all. It's when she brought me two iPod Shuffles (generation 2), one for my niece since she's not old enough to use an expensive iPod touch, where the headaches began. When choosing to synch, iTunes says it is waiting for the iPod and hangs for a good 2+ minutes. After it unfreezes, with no error messages, I see no changes, and no music is on the iPod (either of them).
The iTunes version is 8.1.1.10, which is the latest currently. Much to my horror Internet searches show a multitude of people claiming the iPod shuffles gen 1 and 2 do not properly work with the latest iTunes software! Is this true, and if so has Apple released any statement on the matter?
This program came to our rescue:
http://www.getsharepod.com/
I was successfully able to add music to the gen 2 iPod shuffles using that program, and indeed I know not to run both it and iTunes at the same time. iTunes was even able to display the tracks and play list I created with Sharepod, but the "fill" command still did the same thing: caused iTunes to hang for a time while saying it was waiting for the iPod and then continue as if it finished properly later... with no changes made at all. Even the check boxes for settings don't seem to save, but iTunes does properly name the devices. One is for one of my nephews and one is for my niece. Dragging songs to the iPod shuffle causes the same behavior of freezing for a time before unfreezing with no songs added to the device. I must note that by freeze I don't mean Windows says it's not responding. I can tab out and minimize/restore the program fine. All controls in the program such as clicking on play lists or trying to access the menus or clicking things do nothing until it unfreezes though. Since the iPod touches sync so incredibly quickly, I don't know if the program freezes during a normal sync.
After creating three separate libraries (my sister does not want each child having their own Windows name) and successfully showing the kids how to hold shift to choose a library when starting the program, each device is properly bound to each of my sister's family's names. As I said the iPod touches work perfectly so I am going to assume this is the dreaded incompatibly the latest software has with the iPod shuffle gen 2s?
Is there a fix for this issue or are we just stuck using third party software to deal with the iPod shuffles?

Thanks! SharePod really did the trick.
iTunes 8.1.1.10 wiped out my 2nd generation Shuffle. SharePod is the only way I can put songs in any more. From the looks of the forum I'm not the only one. Sure hope Apple figures it out soon!

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.

Can I connect my iPod shuffle 3rd gen to my iPhone 5 and see what's on it

My mum recently bought an iPhone 5 and I have an iPod shuffle 3 rd generation. All of our computers are Linux machines so we can't use iTunes, so then I came up with the idea that we could connect my iPod to my iPhone 5 and then sync them together and edit my iPods playlist. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so could you please tell me how to do it! Thank you.

No, that is not possible. iPods (except for iPod touch) need to sync with a Mac or Windows PC running iTunes. iOS does not have the built-in software to interact directly with iPods (at least not currently).
If you can set up a "virtual machine" running Windows XP (or later) on one of your Linux machines, that may work. I have VMware Fusion on my Mac, and one of the virtual machines it runs is Windows XP. As a test, I set up iTunes for Windows on it to see if it would sync to one of my iPods. It worked fine, as if it was a "real" PC.

Voice Memos on the iPod Shuffle

I have an iPhone 4s which I have made some voice memos on. I synced them to my computer and created a playlist in iTunes of the specific files I needed. I would like to put them onto my second generation iPod shuffle, but when I try to autofill the iPod shuffle from that playlist, I get an error message saying "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPod "Nicole's iPod" because no songs in the playlist can be copied to this iPod." Is there anyway that I can copy the voice memos to the iPod shuffle?

What format are these files encoded in? You can check by right->clicking on a track, choosing Get Info, and looking under the Summary tab.
Do these Voice Memos play okay in iTunes?
