Is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts? if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

Any way to temporarily remove the clip from the ipod shuffle? I would like to see if it can be placed in speakers designed for the Nano.

is there any way to temporarily remove the clip from the ipod shuffle? I would like to try to connect it to speakers which are designed for ipod nano, but appear to be compatible with the shuffle, if it didn't have the clip.

Unfortunately, Apple can do no such thing. The most you can do is turn it over to the local authorities or the customer service desk if you found in a store or similar.
Kudos to trying to find the owner though!

Yes. The iPod Classic does not have a built in external speaker. On the 5G Nano and iOS Devices have built in external speakers.

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer. I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it. Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

HT4310 I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal or do I need to change something with the settings?

I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal?

It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out. If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont sync music it always gets stuck on a different song everytime and the puts the ipod into recovery mode!

Hey guys
My dads 2nd gen ipod shuffle will not sync music. I try to sync the music by autofill and manually and it freezes for a long time,and then says the device cannot be found. It then puts the ipod shuffle into recovery mode and i then have to restore the ipod and loose all the data.

The shuffle may be losing its data connection to the computer during the time it is syncing. If you have not already, you should shut down (power off) the computer. Disconnect all USB devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used), including hubs. Do this to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port. Try repeating the action that is causing the error.
If that does not help, select the shuffle in iTunes and go to its Settings screen. There is a checkbox for Enable disk use. If that setting is checked, uncheck it. If it is not checked, check it. Basically, reverse the current setting. Apply the change. See of that makes any difference.

Suitable alternatives to the iPod Shuffle

Having lost my old 2nd generation iPod Shuffle and having suffered nothing but problems with the new iPod Shuffle due to its intolerance to sweat, I need to find an alternative to the iPod Shuffle as I am about to start training for a marathon. Can anyone recommend any suitable alternatives to the iPod Shuffle?

Buy this: http://scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/321/productID/1726 and use any headphones you want (I use Sennheiser water resistant ones: I sweat quite a bit). I've had no sweat problems with this combination.
It is primarily the headphone switch that fails/shorts, not the Shuffle itself if you place it carefully where you won't rain on it.
Or get a Nano and a waterproof case.

Does nike plus work with the ipod shuffle fourth gen?

I already have any iphone but it is too big to run with. I like to listen to music while I run but I like to track how far I run with nike plus.

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents. For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

You do not. Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID. STOP using the new Apple ID.
Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.
