My ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn on or charge

my ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn on or charge

Are you using the original USB docking cable (with mini-dock) to connect the shuffle to USB?
When you connect it to USB, does the shuffle's light come ON in any way?  If so, what does it do?

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

    Faulty port on the computer
    If something is wrong with your computer's FireWire or USB port, it may not supply power to iPod. Note: Only iPod mini can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable.
    Check the connections.
    Try another known-good FireWire (or high-powered USB) port on a different computer if available.
    If you do not have access to another computer, use the Apple iPod Power Adapter.
    Plug in one end of the FireWire cable to the Apple iPod Power Adapter and the other end to your iPod.
    Plug the Apple iPod Power Adapter into a working electrical outlet.
    If you have an iPod (with Dock Connector) model, connect the FireWire end to the Apple iPod Power Adapter and the dock connector to iPod. Warning: Never plug the dock connector end of the FireWire cable into a computer's FireWire port.
    If this resolves the issue, consult your service and support guide to see how you can have the computer's port repaired.

    Make sure all the connections are good. Try disconnecting and reconnecting all connections to make sure they are snug.
    Try another Apple iPod Power Adapter if one is available.
    Try connecting iPod to a computer's FireWire port using iPod's FireWire cable.
    If this resolves the issue the Apple iPod Power Adapter needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at theiPod Service Website.

  • Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) need to be fully charged...

    Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) need to be fully charged (green light) to appear in my iTunes. I just bought one on eBay... not sure if it works. It's plugged into the USB port and the light is orange (solid, not blinking).
    Should I expect it to turn green before it will show up as a Device in my iTunes?

    So, the issue on this one was that I was not plugged directly into my computer - I was using a usb hub. Once I removed the hub and put the ipod shuffle (2nd G) directly into my hard drive it opened up iTunes and I was able to synch. It never did show a green light, until I unplugged it and put the ear buds in, turned on the "on" switch and there was a green light. I hope this helps someone else.

    My week old Ipod touch 5th gen. wont turn on or charge. When it is connected to the computer or a charger it shows the dead battery symbol and never charges even if left connected for over and hour.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    Try:
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen not turning on what ever I do. Help!

    Hi guys,
    My mum brought a iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation from Apple Store when it was top of its model. I use the apple charger that comes with it.
    Some reason I have found it in a pile o' stuff and it doesnt show up on the Desktop or iTunes. I tried iPod Reset Utillity (it doesnt show up either),
    and I installed iPod support off my old OS X install disc. I did the Reboot,Reset,Retry etc... but it doesnt work. I dont want to buy anything else.
    Is there anything I could do?
    My OS is: Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion
    iPod Shuffle: iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation (unknown year)

    The Genius Bar at an Apple Store does not charge you, unless they do some repair work, and they won't do work on a 2nd gen shuffle at this point, only help with troubleshooting. 
    For example, in your case, the problem seems to be no connection, for power or data.  That could be a problem on the USB port, on the USB cable, or on the shuffle itself.  I think you've ruled out a bad USB port by trying multiple computers.  You can't rule out a bad USB cable unless you have another shuffle to try with your cable, or you have another (known-good) cable to try with your shuffle.  The Genius Bar probably has a cable they know is good.  If your shuffle works with that cable, you have a bad cable.  If it does not, then the problem is likely to be something in the shuffle, such as a bad headphones jack or logic board or something else.
    NOTE:  The short USB cable that is for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle will fit on a 2nd gen shuffle, but it will not work.  The connector is different.  But there are similar looking third-party cables that are made for the 2nd gen shuffle.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation wont turn on or charge

    Hello I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen and it wont turn on or charge. I have pluged it into a wall 4 days ago and its been charging in multiple outlets (such as computers and walls) and its been displaying a red battery with a lightning symbol. When I unplug it the screen goes black and nothing happens. I have tried holding down the power button but nothing will work. Also when I plug it into a computer it doesnt show up on itunes, as additional info it is a 8gb black ipod touch 2ng gen, no camera, and ios 4.1. Thank you

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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.

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont charge or recognize my computer blinking orange 3x

    My ipod shuffle wont charge or cant connect to my computer or detect by iTunes its  just blinking orange 3 times
    I tried connect it to other ports same thing happen I tried any possible way but still the same
    I use my ipod 2 years I guess and its working fine until I experience this someone experience this same problem please help.

    If it's less than one year old, it should still be under warranty.  If you are near an Apple Store, I'd make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about getting it replaced.
    There are two likely possibilities.  The cable used to connect it to USB has gone bad.  Or the connector on the iPod has gone bad.
    Be sure to try these things, if you have not already. Use a different USB port on your computer. 
    Disconnect iPod shuffle and completely shut down (power off) your computer.  Also, use this procedure to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Turn on computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect iPod shuffle.
