My ipod shuffle 2nd generation is not charging;

light is green however ipod does not work anymore...any suggestions? I guess I really used up the battery as all of a sudden it swithched off but now I can not get it to work anymore

That most likely problem is that the iPod's battery is worn out and not able to hold a charge anymore.  So, it appears to charge while connect to USB for power, but a few seconds after it is disconnected, it goes dead.

  • HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

    I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    but there is another unspecified error.
    What is that error?
    Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

    Hi,
    my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
    Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

    indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd Generation) is not being recognized by my MacBook Pro or itunes:

    I was recently given my friends old ipod shuffle, but it is not being recognized by my computer at all, is there something that I can do?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
    Have you worked through all the sugguestions here as necessary?

  • HT1238 ipod shuffle 2nd generation does not appear in Reset Utility window.

    Hi there! I'm seeking some advice for repairing an old ipod shuffle.
    My mom's 2nd generation iPod shuffle suddenly will not appear on her computer. She is using windows vista (sad face). I ran all the reccommeded troubleshooting suggestions, but still can't repair the disk.
    When connected to the original computer (windows vista), the charging light comes on but the disk does not appear anywhere on the computer. I ran the diagnostics and it apparently has the most updated software, but there is another unspecified error.
    When I tried to run the repair suggestions on my own computer, i can't get the disk to show anywhere....the charging light will not even come on.
    Any other suggestions I might have overlooked?

  • HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

    My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

    My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON?  From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
    Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
    If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly.  It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.  If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
    If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • IPod shuffle 4th generation is not charging, not recognized by my computer and laptop (Windows 7) and does not show up in iTunes

    I have done all the troubleshoots and reset functions but my iPod shuffle is still not working. Every time I plugged my iPod it only shows red light that lasts for about 3 seconds and will disappear after some time. I've been using the same computer and laptop back then, and it stopped working since the last week of October.

  • Problem with my ipod shuffle 2nd generation

    My ipod shuffle 2nd generation was fully charged and is able to sync with my computer but when i turn on nothing happens it does not blink and no music came out what should i do?

    It's not good to store a rechargeable lithium-based battery completely discharged for an extended period.  The chemicals that make the battery work will age in a way can make the battery incapable of holding a charge.  Since that's a 2nd gen shuffle, it's been sitting unused for about six years.  I have a 2nd gen shuffle, and it still works well, but I've charging and discharging the battery at least once each month through normal use.
    You may be able to have the battery replaced, but the cost (parts and labor) is likely to exceed the price of a brand new 4th gen shuffle (about $50).

  • IPod Shuffle (2nd Generation) problem

    I have an iPod Shuffle (2nd Generation).  After charging, when I press 'play', the green light flashes, followed by the orange light, green light, orange, etc. (three times) and it won't play...any ideas?

    The altenating colored lights mean that the Nano's buttons are disabled.  You must press and hold the Play button until you see the orange light followed by three flashes of the green light. See this article for more information on what each of the status lights mean when you are using your 2G Shuffle.

  • I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

    That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd generation is charging but not starting.

    My Ipod shuffle 2nd generation 4 yrs old is charging when i connect it to the computer it blinks orange light then when i eject it, it shows green light. But afterwards when i start it nothing happens. It used to work very nicely before but now Its doesnt respond at all. I have reset it several times. Ipod software version is 1.0.4 and i use it in latest itunes. Please help.

    That most likely problem is that the iPod's battery is worn out and not able to hold a charge anymore.  So, it appears to charge while connect to USB for power, but a few seconds after it is disconnected, it goes dead.

  • Can I still purchase a charger for ipod shuffle 2nd generation

    I lost my charging port for my ipod shuffle 2nd generation. Can I purchase a replacement?

    That's the USB cable with a "mini-dock" at the iPod end?  If so, I don't see it listed at the Apple Store, but it looks like this
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-shuffle-Generation-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000 IK5Z8E
    There are third-party replacements that cost less.  Some have the little dock and others have just the connector, for example
    http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Cradle-Insten-Charger-shuffle/dp/B0062GM216
    http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Charger-Adapter-Shuffle-Generation/dp/B00DP7JEIE
    NOTE:  The USB docking cable for the current 4th gen shuffle has a different connector that does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle.  So make sure the product you get is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

  • TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

    Hello!
    I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
    I could really use some help solving this.
    I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
    Help a brother out, will you???

    Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
    It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
    Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
    - Turn off computer.
    - Plug Shuffle into usb.
    - Then you must reset your shuffle
    To reset iPod shuffle:
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
    - Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
    - Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
    I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
    Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
    Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
    Stop it and select "apple ipod".
