MacBook doesn't charge iPod shuffle

The only way to charge iPod Shuffle is by connecting it via USB port to your computer. So I wonder why on earth my MacBook is not capable to charge it while it is shut down let alone when it is put to sleep! If a battery can be charged in aforementioned situations so should the iPod Shuffle.
where can I report such incompatibility or where can I put a suggestion for Apple people to work it out?

Did you download any programmes like
caffeine to prevent your macbook from sleeping after
the display has been closed?
No. It gives every indication that it is sleeping normally: pulsing front light, becomes cool to the touch, wakes when lid opened or key pressed, doesn't do anything strange when awakened. I also haven't used pmset to change the sleep setting from default; it pauses before the sleep light pulsates as if it's writing the sleep image to disk.
As a matter of fact, it continues to provide power with two different pads. The cheap inline switch on the pad failed and I had it replaced under warranty. The second unit has the same behavior.

  • Updater doesn't see iPod shuffle

    My iPod Shuffle shows up on the desktop. The amber recharge light is blinking. When iTunes opens, I get the following message: "iTunes has detected a software update for the iPod. Would you like to install it now?" When I click "Okay", the updater opens and I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred". When I click "okay", the updater now tells me to plug in an iPod to update it. My iPod is plugged in and charging, and is on the desktop. When I quit the updater, my iPod does not appear in the iTunes source list.
    I then quit and reopened iTunes. This time when prompted regarding the software update, I click cancel. iTunes now opens with my iPod listed in the Source list. However, when I go to add songs to the iPod I get the following message: "Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest iPod software update."
    I've reinstalled the updater 3 times now. I got the same results as described above each time. The updater doesn't see the iPod. What is the "unexpected error"? Why doesn't the Updater see the iPod?
    Also also - I ordered, received, and installed an Iogear 4 port USB 2.0 pci card, hoping against hope that that would solve the issue. It didn't. I've been working on this since the day after Christmas. The problem seems so uniquely simple, and yet I've never been more frustrated with an Apple product.
    Why won't the updater recognize my iPod and allow me to install the software? I personally believe that there is some communications glitch between iTunes 6.0.1, OS 10.3.9, and iPod updater. Any word on new versions coming out of the Apple bat cave?
    Thanks for any help.

  • HT1510 can't charge ipod shuffle nothing happening when plugged in what do i do?

    tried to charge shuffle but its stone dead wot do i do?

    How long have you left it to charge?  Are you plugging it into a USB wall adapter or a USB port on your PC or Mac?
    Are you using the same cable that originally came with the iPod Shuffle? 
    After leaving the iPod to charge for a minimum of 30 minutes have you tried to bring it back to life with a hard reset?

  • MacBook Pro not charging iPod Touch 4G!

    Hello. Today I plugged in my iPod Touch 4th Generation into my 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and it started charging, but about 15 seconds later it would stop charging it and I would have to unplug it and then plug it to charge it again. I grew suspicious that something was wrong with my iPod and not my Mac, but when I plugged my iPod into an outlet, it charged all the way with no problems. Is something in my MacBook denying the charging of my iPod Touch 4G and how do I fix it??
    I also don't want this to effect syncing issues as well, and converting music to iTunes from my iPod.

    Did you tried rebooting the Mac?
    Tried another USB port?
    Did it work OK before?
    When the Mac sleeps the USB ports will not charge the iPod.

  • My Mac doesn't recognise Ipod Shuffle 6th when I connect it

    Hi,
    I have a problem wuth my new Ipod shuffle 6th generation.
    Whan I connect it to my Imac (with Itunes upgrated) it isn't recognised. How can I do?
    Thank you

    First of all, try a USB port that is built into the Mac, in preference to a USB hub or a USB port on the keyboard. Then, check if the LED is doing anything when it is plugged into that port, and wait a few minutes before concluding it isn't doing anything, as the battery may need to be charged for a while before it starts up.

  • Itune doesn't recognize ipod shuffle

    Itune doesn't recognize my ipod shuffle(first generation). please help me!

    I've been searching for days on this kind of thing and always see the same frustration from fellow iTunes/iPod users -- the new version of iTunes won't recognize their iPod. Tonight I saw something that looked so simple that I had to try it, AND IT WORKED.
    Press the MENU (not play/pause) and CENTER button and hold until iPod turns off and on again. Plug into your computer and hopefully iTunes will recognize it like it did for me, first time. I was completely blown away, because I had tried everything else for MONTHS!!!
    Good luck to everyone.

  • New version of itunes seems like doesn't support ipod shuffle

    can somebody help?

    Why not? Does iTunes no lnoger see the iPod Shuffle when you have it connected via USB?  It doesn't appear in the upper right hand corner underneath the search bar when plugged in?

  • Can i charge ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter ?

    can i charge my ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter?

    Apple designed a modular transformer system to both simplify the plug and make travel between countries easy.
    The transformer is the same in the US (110V) as it is in Australia (240V). The plugs are also identical to those included with each countries products.

  • Charging IPOD SHUFFLE on a Windows 98 computer

    Alright, my Ipod was purchased 2 days ago and I uploaded my music to it yesterday off of my friends computer(Win XP).. But my problem here is when i charge it on this computer that doesnt have Itunes or anything iPod related the orange light blinks continuously when charging. I looked throught "My Computers" device manager and it appears its not recognized as a "Disk" but as a "other device"... does this mean that my Ipod is safe to be removed from my USB port since there is no real connection?
    And also i read previously that if my orange light blinks continuosly i wont be able to know when its fully charged.. any suggestions or help to make this seem more clear to me?
    Thanks.

    1) Yes with out Itunes taking the Shuffle out of data mode (I know you can't use Itunes on that computer) the orange light will continue to blink even after the Shuffle is fully charged.
    2) Yes it will be safe to remove.

  • Using airport express to charge iPod shuffle

    Anyone ever try this? I need to travel out of town for a few days at a time, without a laptop. Seems a waste to purchase a iPod USB charger/adapter when I have this lovely airport express sitting in the next room. Seems to have a USB plug on it. Would fit easily in my carry on luggage.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    Thanks FMD. I don't travel often enough to invest in a separate charger, so this might be a good temporary fix while on the road.

  • Using both usb ports the macbook doesn't charge, is that normal?

    Hi, as headline says I'm using both the usb ports of my macbook pro 13", with an external HD and an externat audio interface. The macbook is attached to the charger, but it's not charging (i guess it's using the power without charging). The Macbook it's not fully charged.
    thank you
    Federico

    And what happens if you disconnect everything from the USB ports? BTW, your charger will kick in when the battery charge falls below 94%.
