Is there an iHome compatible w/ the 2nd Gen Shuffle?

I have just purchased the new 2nd Gen. Ipod Shuffle and I'm wondering if there's an iHome or something comparable that will work with it?
Thanks!
Stephanie

Depends on what you mean by "compatible"... shuffle can be connected to an iHome devoce's audio-in port with an audio patch cable (male 3.5mm plug on both ends).
Shuffle can NOT be charged on iHome EXCEPT through use of a Griffin Tech Dock Adapter: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dockadapter
Note: Play OR charge but not at the same time.

Do New Earphones work with the 2nd Gen Shuffle?

So my dog chewed up my 2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle earphones and I wanted to replace them. When I went to the the apple online store they are only selling the new earphones for the 3rd Gen Shuffle, that has a remote and a mic. It only says it supports the 3rd Gen Shuffle. Would I still be able to hear music on the new earphones? I don't really care about the remote and mic capabilities.
Here's the link to the 3rd Gen Earphones:

YES! I just used my 3rd Gen (replacement) earphones with my 2nd Gen
shuffle this evening... they worked fine.

I have 2nd gen shuffle, i am using a new USB to connect to my computer but the light does not come on and itunes does not bring it up?

I have a 2nd gen shuffle. I bought a new USB for it at the apple store last week. They said it would work with the the 2nd Gen shuffle. I have the shuffle plugged in to the computer now. It wont light up and itunes is not reconizing it. Please help!

I would bring it back to the Apple Store and have them test it out on one of their one machines to see if it'll work or not there.

2nd gen shuffle disk format FAT32 on a mac?

Guys,
my incredibly stable quad g5 has gone "nuts" since I've had my 2nd gen shuffle. It hangs, won't mount external USB drives if the 2nd gen shuffle is docked during startup, lots of other really weird things.
The shuffle was delivered to my work, so the shuttle was 1st connected to a Windows box, but just to charge it fully.
when the shuffle is connected to the quad, it only actually shows in iTunes about 25% of the time... whether or not it shows up in iTunes, I can see an "iPod" on the USB bus. I've got lots of USB 2.0 powered ports... changing ports doesn't make a difference at all.
according to iTunes, the software version is 1.01, which was updated from the shipping 1.00 while connected to the Windows machine. (this might have been a bad thing to do)
when the shuffle is connected to iTunes, despite the fact that the checkbox allow disk access, most of the time I still see the shuttle mounted as a drive volume. When it doesn't show up, I can still see the drive briefly mount and unmount if I toggle settings or do anything with the shuttle.
obviously, I've tried restore(s) from the quad, which resets the contents of the shuttle but doesn't change the disk format.
the shuttle itself operates as expected, it's only while it's docked to the quad that all heck breaks loose...
Any ideas???
Thanks

ah... well, I've already restored one of the times that it was connected to a proper 2.0 powered USB port.
the first time, it wouldn't come back from the reflashed state, ie it didn't reconnect to iTunes...
I disconnected, it had no songs on it, but it seemed to work... after a number of attempts to dock, it finally did, and I pumped a bunch of song over to it and it worked...
I then retried that sequence and the update worked fine.
it's still a strange beast. for example... although no disk access is allowed, it still mounts a shuffle icon onto the desktop, just no folders are visible... strange...
I've chosen to downsample to 128kbit AAC, and I'm not having iTunes autofill the shuffle. I unselected the downsample option and clicked apply. one would think that the data on the shuffle would stay as is. Nope, it wiped the shuffle and tried to put the songs that were there back on the shuffle at the original bitrates, which of course don't fit. Reselect the downsample option, click apply, and it repeats the wipe of the shuffle, and is now (again) downsampling and sending to the shuffle. Since it's on the keyboard USB port right now, this is taking quite a while.
I'll def try on other machines, and indeed without the USB drives mounted, ah, sorry, can't really do that on the quad... the iTunes library is on one of the external USB drives...
anyway, I get what you want me to try... it might be tomorrow before I can repeat the sequence enough times to say something conclusive. This has been going on for a few days already... I've restarted the quad more times since Thursday than I have in the last year!
I'm not panicking yet, but am extremely curious what is causing this problem.
Once again, thanks... I try some more tests and post back

Can (2)1st & (2) 2nd gen shuffles be on same computer and same itunes

I currently have 2 1st gen shuffles - other kids wanted ipods so i got them the 2nd gen shuffles. My concern is will the software for the 2nds' be compatable with the 1sts'. If not will it be possible to have two different versions of itunes installed on the same computer. I don't want to give up the 1st gen. One's mine and I gotta have my music!!!! I tried looking up the answer everywhere on Apples wonderful support site. No help, so I am asking you fine people out there who have purchased Apples products and then been left to wonder in the dark.

The current version of iTunes supports all currently available iPods; if you want to transfer different music to each iPod, see this article for information.

TS1559 Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I went to apple store and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Extremely disappointed and no way except to pay and get replacement. Pls ad

Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I tried all possible solutions through apple online support and then went to apple store as a last resort and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Only option is to pay 160 pounds and get replacement. When I argued further, they said that if I had bought the iphone directly with them, they would replace me without any cost. This is even more frustrating.
THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR as its not my fault. If the release of faulty 7.0.4 software is timed in my 2nd year of contract and since I didnt buy the iphone directly from Apple, how is it fair to ask me to pay for replacement. Its not my fault after all.

Because you are outside the one year hard ware warrenty, Apple covers for the first year on their dime, if you had a two year contract why not make sure you have a two year insurance on your phone?
Either way as I can see/assume you are from europe you can look at your consumer laws to see if you qualify for anything there, beyond that it isn't the software that broke the device, it's a hardware failure because thousands upon thousands are happy and content with iOS 7.0.4

Is there any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle?

I was wondering if there is any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle.
With HiFi Station I mean those docking stations which directly play the music from your iPod, so that you don´t need to connect to your Computer f.e.
Does anybody know if something like this exist, or if it is only available for ALL other iPod models???
Thanks already!
Stefan

YOu can use one of these with any other iPod "HiFi Station": http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dockshuffle/
Use your 2nd generation iPod shuffle in full-size Universal Dock devices.
Your iPod shuffle is an incredible entertainment value in an incredibly small package. It delivers the music just like its full-size iPod cousins. But one thing it doesn't do is fit in the dock well in your made-for-iPod speaker system.
That's why we made a Dock Adapter especially for 2nd generation iPod shuffle. The Dock Adapter is shaped just like the dock connector on the bottom of every full-size iPod. Plug it into your iPod shuffle's headphone jack, and suddenly the little guy fits in your iPod speakers just like the big guys.
Take Griffin Dock Adapter with you, and you can play your iPod shuffle wherever there's a set of Universal Dock speakers.

I have the 2nd Gen iPad and imported my photos from my computer to my iPad awhile back. Now I'd like to sync it to new MacBook Pro and my albums are not showing up? Anyone know how to fix this?

You'll have to transfer them from the pc to the mac.

Why do I still love the 2nd gen iPod more than the new offerings?

Hello fellow forum users.
I've been reading these forums for over a year now, but only recently did I register in order to post on this forum. I'm a real music nut and I've owned virtually every iPod since I bought my first one three years (a 1st gen iPod mini). At the moment I own the iPod classic (both 80gb and 160gb versions), an iPod touch 8gb, iPod nano 2nd gen 8gb, iPod nano 3rd gen 4gb, iPod shuffle 2nd gen and since last night I've been the proud owner of an iPhone!
Anyway, I've always wanted to own either a 1st or second gen iPod (the firewire version). I was a poor student when the 1st gen was released way back in 2001, so I'd never seen one apart from photos on the web and watching Steve Jobs' original iPod keynote speech on YouTube. I'd been scouring eBay for the last 6 months for one, but mint examples were going for several hundred pounds, or the other versions I could find were either faulty or completely wrecked. I managed to pick a 2nd gen 10gb iPod up a week ago (just the iPod and the slipcase it originally came with.) After buying a firewire cable and charger from eBay for a couple of pounds, I synced the iPod with my Windows XP laptop and I was away to go!
The thing is (and the reason I've posted this discussion) is how the build quality on the new ipods seems to be lacking compared to a device released 6 years ago. Although the 2nd gen has the same stare-at-me-and-I'll-scratch chrome backplate as my 6th gens, the front hardly has a mark and feels like a rhino could stand on it before it is damaged. The hold switch is big (and less fiddly for my bigger fingers), the headphone jack is secure and the plastic covering on the firewire port is still on sits nicely to protect the firewire port.
Regarding firewire, I think it's a big shame Apple have abandoned this format. As someone who syncs many gbs of music every week, I synced over 1300 songs to it in under 10 minutes (would take my 6 gens over 20 minutes). Even charging via firewire is slightly faster.
I also feel that the sound quality is superior on my 2nd gen and when comparing it to my 6th gen there is a clear difference in sound quality, clarity and the presence of a noticeable background hiss on both the 6th gens and the iPod Touch.
I know you're going to say that the new gen iPods have better battery life, supports videos and pictures, but as a music player I still think my 2nd gen still has lots to offer. I don't know, perhaps I'm becoming nostalgic in my old age! What do you think?

you're absolutely right. i have a selection of newer iPods, an iPhone, etc. and in my desk drawer i also have the very first 5GB iPodl, purchased the week they were released, and a 2nd generation 20GB, which i happened to charge up tonight (i was thinking about ditching it because i never use it anymore). well, then i listened to it. i was blown away. i'd forgotten how good the old iPods sound. so rich, so dynamic, with a kind of -- i don't know how to describe it -- velvety warmth to the sound. the iPhone, by comparison, has a flat electronic quality to it, as does the new shuffle. it seems like in the effort to make things smaller they've cut corners on the sound processing. i don't know. needless to say, i won't be ditching my old 20GB anytime soon. what a gem.

I need help from all of the 2nd gen nano customers!!! Buzzing Sound!!

Hi! I am about to purchase a 2nd generation 8GB iPod nano next week or so. Is the whining problem still the issue in the 2nd gen nanos? Please tell me because otherwise, I might want to delay the order cause I wouldn't want a buzzing/whining iPod.

Some units have it, some don't. I have 3 in my household and none of them buzz (unless you cound the very fain sound you hear only if you press it up against your ear....and you wouldn't do that under normal circumstances). If you are going to a physical store to purchase one, turn it on in the store before you leave so you can find out right then if there is a noticable buzz.

Does the 2nd gen nano skip with VBR mp3s?

Hi,
I have a 1st gen nano that skips with vbr mp3 podcasts. I would love to get a second gen for more space, but if it skips like the first gen, I will pass.
Can anybody confirm whether or not the problem with VBR mp3s on the 2nd gen nano skips or not?
thanks

At first I thought there was something wrong with my iPod, but I'm glad to hear this is a common software fault.
I just re-coded my MP3 collection to VBR and find that about 10-20% of my files skipps on my iPod nano (2nd gen). I might up the quality of the VBR and seee if that makes any difference.

How do I suggest an accessory for the 2nd gen nano?

I'm trying to make a suggestion to Apple to make a belt clip for the 2nd gen nano like the older 40gb iPods had. How do I make one, because I can't find any sort of suggestion box(for lack of better term)

You may be able to use the apple iPod feedback form
to make that type of suggestion. You might also want
to check other sites that make iPod accessories to
see if they have one that you may like.

Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
Thanks in advance.

I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

Can there be an update for the 6TH Gen nano to have a calculator?

I think it would be really useful if there was a calculator on the 6th gen nano.

2nd gen shuffle wouldn't sync - fixed it (for me)

With 2nd gen shuffle, changed computers, downloaded ITunes 9, created new playlists, got all ready... and shuffle won't sync. Would start syncing, then quit after trying a couple songs, then some kind of error - folder not found or something like that. Tried it over and over in different variations. Looked thru google and tried resetting ipod, uninstall/reinstalling itunes (couple times), uninstalled intunes 9 and used itunes 7 (which someone recommended), searched thru apple support and tried things - same problem. Noticed in Explorer that the Ipod wasn't being detected consistently - would show briefly, then disappear so figured there was some problem with the computer recognizing the device, even though IPOD was recognized in ITunes. Went to Apple discussions looking for "recognizing ipod" and found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369; which I had seen earlier, but blew it off as not relevant because ipod was recognized in ITunes.
For me, appears that I didn't have shuffle connected to a high-power USB port - just plugged it into first one I saw, which wasn't high-power; did change ports earlier, but didn't know I had high-power ones (or needed them) available in another part in the back of computer. Changed ports and it worked - synced up like it used to.
Hope this helps others - I spent 3 days researching internet, trying variety of different things and being PO'ed - and music-less.

I think it was just that itunes was running- but can't disable that. I ended up just taking about 30 mins to delete each song individually from the shuffle. Hopfully it will work for the kiddo we are giving it too. Thanks for your suggestion!

Is there an iHome compatible w/ the 2nd Gen Shuffle?
