Listen and charge your shuffle in a car

please do something about it,
why there always has to be some issue with the mac products?
is it too much to ask to be able to charge your ipod and listen to it at the same time?
what were the the designers thinking when they made the 2nd generation.
please give another 2.5mm connector or make a useable splitter(since there isn't one available yet).
my car is full of cables and plugging and unplugging them does not seem to be in line with the apple's "uncluttered" design concept.
things like this is what ruins apple's reputation.
another thing,
i have an mac air and no way to connect it to wired internet ethernet cable if wireless in not available. ehm.
thanks

Hi Ari & Shuffiej,
I'm working on a design for integrating the shuffle for automotive use. It's important to be able to charge (5-volts via a linear voltage regulator) and play analog audio at the same time (via 3.5mm male plug). Do either of you know if the audio out circuits and the 5-volt charging circuit can be utilized simultaniusly. (I can have a plug specially made to physically work but don't know if the circuitry within the shuffle will allow this)
Given that Griffin Technology makes an iPod dock adapter for the shuffle
with a switch for "play" or "charge", I'd be pretty safe in guessing that
the audio and charging circuit can NOT be used simultaneously...

  • Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car?

    Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car? I have got a jack going to my sound system the issue i would like to solve is charging at the same time

    Since the shuffle (except for the 1st gen shuffle) uses the same "port" (the headphones jack) for sound output and charging, there is no way to do both concurrently.
    NOTE:  You can charge and play at the same time on the old white 1st gen shuffle that looks like a USB flash drive.

  • Can you charge your shuffle on another computer?

    I know you cant download music of more than one computer...but are u able to charge it using another computer? Im going on a long trip and how will i charge it for my return trip?

    Yes. All you need to charge the shuffle is a high-powered USB port. Apple sells a wall-wart adaptor. Third parties sell car adaptors.
    If you plug the shuffle into another computer, just remember to stop iTunes from deleting your files
    Also remember to unmount the iPod if it doesn't do so automatically. The shuffle can charge while mounted or unmounted but if you use the "safely eject USB device" thinggy in Windows, the iPod shuffle will not charge.

  • Listen and Charge at the same time?

    Can I listen to the Nano and charge it via the USB port at the same time?

    I'm having the same problem. I want to listen to my nano at work, but it needs to be charged. If I eject it from iTunes, the battery no longer charges.
    I'm using a W2K PC, let me know if you need any other info. This is very frustrating.

  • SEO and charging your clients

    Up to now I have been including creating an xml site map and sending it to Google for free, inasmuch as it takes about 5 seconds to do it in the C-panel.. However, since there are many more things that can be done regarding SEO, some with more dubious results than others, I was wondering how you all price this stuff. I never know how to respond to queries regarding ad campaigns and the like because I don't want to be put in a situation where a client is demanding results that can't possibly be achieved... Any thoughts?

  • Audible books and bookmarks on shuffle

    i have an 11 hour book, that is broken up into two blocks of audio. surely there is a way that i can navigate thru chapters or just move more quickly to find the spot i was listening to while on the computer. is there a way to get thru a large file like that more quickly? makes me almost think that downloading to CD,then loading back onto shuffle from the 10 CDs would be more versatile. now how smart would that be?? thoughts anyone?? thanks.

    Ron,
    What works for me is to download from Audible.com using only Format 3. Then load the book onto the Shuffle along with at least one song. With the Shuffle not plugged in, double-click the book -- a play bar will appear at the top of the iTunes screen. With your computer's sound ON, move the slider along the play bar until you hear the spot in the book you'd like to bookmark. Pause the book, and then double-click on the song -- let it play for a few seconds and then pause it. Now plug in your Shuffle. iTunes will update it with the new bookmark. When iTunes says it's OK to disconnect your Shuffle, close iTunes and unplug your Shuffle. Your Shuffle should start playing your book from the point you bookmarked (or close to it -- mine sometimes starts a little further into the book and I have to fast reverse to the exact point I want). This method sure beats burning a bunch of CDs.

  • Impossible to charge and play my shuffle

    I have a new shuffle and I lost after I read manual and other questions of the forum... how can I do to charge?. I'm sure that the period of charge exceeds time that is required to the full charge. When I extract de shuffle of the charge and the button is on the light pass to green for a moment and close after at the moment. I'm not sure that charge really. When I click play no rules. What can I do please?
    I'm charging in my computer with XP Pro, I read that this can give problems. But charging directly by USB not charge anything? The light is ever yellow intermittent?
    Thank you and sorry for my english

    First, review your user's manual to see what the lights are supposed to mean. If by "ever yellow intermittent" you mean a blinking amber, then you were never in a pure charging mode and you will never see the fully charged indication.
    Blinking amber means either that your shuffle is trying to connect, is connected but is still updating, or has completed updating but is operating in Disk Mode.

  • Need another usb cord for ipod shuffle. One that will sync to new ford explorer and charge as well.

    Which usb cord is best to use with ipod shuffle in new ford explorer.  Would like to be able to sync and charge.

    Which iPod shuffle do you have?  This document shows the four types
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    If it's 2nd gen, do not get a USB cable that is for 3rd/4th gen, because the connector is different.
    iPods only "sync" to computers running iTunes. It may work to make song files (on the shuffle) available to play by the car audio system, but that depends on the specification of the car audio system, not the cable.  The car audio system would be using the shuffle like it was a USB flash drive (not syncing).  You'll need to look at the car audio system's documentation to see what devices are supported.

    I would just advise that you be careful with old model chargers that were built for 30 pin to USB connectors for the old iPhones. They may not work for the iPhone 5 and/or they might damage the phone/battery etc. The best plan would be to wait for some kind of charger that was made for the iPhone 5.
    Nonsense; USB outputs are an industry standard, there is no danger in using a USB to Lightning cord to charge your iPhone 5.

  • Fm transmitting and charging in car

    i used to have a 20gb b/w ipod w/ click wheel. i used a griffin iTrip to broadcast on my car stereo while charging with a dock connector car charger.
    I have upgraded to a 5G 30gb ipod, and to my dismay, my old iTrip is not compatible. i have been looking everywhere for an fm transmitter which i can use WHILE charging in the car, but that does not need to be plugged in in the car to work.
    everything i have found either plugs into the dock connector, preventing me from charging my iPod in the car, which will be rough since i drive a lot, or plugs into the headphone jack but requires batteries, or has to be plugged into the lighter outlet to work.
    does anyone have suggestions? any good products that you could recommend?

  • I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
    Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
    The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
    So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
    Please let us know what happens
    Thanks

  • Battery and charging issues

    I have a DROID X and have been having issues for the last few weeks with my phone staying charged and charging. I have had both my home and car chargers replaced. Everytime I charge my phone it says that it is charging bit the battery level does not improve. When I use my roommates charger it charges fine. Also the battery says I have a certain % of battery left then the next minute it goes down 10%andthat that happens whether it is charging or not. I don't know if a certain app could be causing this or if the phone is junk and I need to get it replaced. Its getting annoying that I have to charge it every night and can't be away from home because I wont have a charger. PLEASE HELP!!!

    From your home screen, press menu>settings>about phone>battery use (unless Moto moved it).  This will give you a list of apps with a percentage of how much battery they have used.  Also an app called system panel in the market will help you to monitor what  is using system resources.  I would also personally recommend uninstalling ATK, though not all users would agree with me.  Maybe try turning off autokill and see if that helps.  I do agree with dirkbonn, though, that it sounds like a bad charger,
