Newest iPod nano or newest iPod shuffle for working out?

I plan on getting a new iPod for working to keep from using my iPhone all of the time and draining the battery. Which would be better for working out taking into consideration that sweat would be an issue? Also will the clips work really well during a lot of movement?

The clip works well and I've been able to use mine in places where moisture does not get to it (also get a plastic insert for the dock connector or keep it pointed down). You can also get waterproof cases.
That said, if I am really concentrating on my workout I prefer the Shuffle as it is cheaper and I'm not distracted by a screen.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

    Have you got your local machine's hostname in your hosts file?
    I remember I used to have problems like this, until I found the little gem in the wiki about adding the output of 'hostname' to /etc/hosts
    I can't find the actual article at the moment, only this:

    EDIT:
    The beginners guide mentions about poor performance in regard to not setting /etc/hosts correctly:

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME !!!!

    Ok i am starting to really get annoyed.
    Every single time i have connected my iPod Shuffle to my computer (and i have own two computers within the last year) so i have switched to the newer one, so basically its not my PC's fault.
    Every time i connect it, it messes something up. last time i tried to charge it, it froze my pc. I tried again, it kept on ejecting and reconnecting magically without even moving about. And i always connect the iPod to the REAR USB 2.0 ports that i have, and i have 6 of them.
    So anyways, after RE-installing the latest software updater, and iTunes, and restarting, and trying a thousand times, i somehow managed to get songs on to the shuffle.
    But now we have another problem. When put my ipod in SHUFFLE mode it goes alphabetically from A to B to C (artist wise), and when i put it in Normal mode which is supposed to go alphabetically, it goes randomly from A to D to Z to F, etc.
    Also i have 68 songs on it, and somehow it managed to play the same 10 songs over and over and over, without me even turing it off... acting as if i only have 10 songs on the thing.
    Its been less than a year i have own this, and i dont think i have AppleCare on it, since my Uncle bought this for me around April/May 2005.
    PLEASE HELP, or APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME!

    <sarcasm>Here's a deal ... mail your iPod to me and I'll get it going again or, more likely, confirm that there's nothing wrong with the shuffle itself. That will take ........ ohh, I'm estimating a few minutes. Eventually, when I can find time in my busy schedule, I'll mail it back to you. Be sure to remind me to do that.</sarcasm>
    Seriously, though — do I understand you correctly? You want everyone else to do your homework for you? Okay, fine ...
    You've noticed the 101 Class .... but no, too busy for that. You could just go to the Troubleshooting page, I suppose, and get your question answered directly and who knows? Maybe that would have been more productive than writing up your three separate posts today. You will have to click one or two more times and read a little bit, granted, but I just did all of that in the middle of writing this reply to you.
    Oh, right, I forgot .... too busy to find it. Here you go

    I purchased an iPod shuffle for my niece and nephew last year for Christmas.  My nephew's has come up missing and I have strong reason to believe it was stolen.  Amazon cannot give me the serial number and I used my iTunes to put music on it initially.  Is there a place I can find the serial number on my iTunes and can it be tracked to different computers if someone else is using it?  My nephew no longer has the packaging.

    Type "ipod serial number" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the article explaining how to find the serial number.

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

  • HT1660 I have 2 ipods (1 for work n 1 for pleasure) can i have 2 Itunes accounts so I can have there own library?

    I have 2 ipods (1 for work n 1 for pleasure) can i have 2 Itune accounts so they can have theeir oun library?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you disable the option to Automatically include new apps, apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • Best headphones for working out?

    I just got my first ipod (5G) so I am not familiar with what headphones create the best sound for it...I will mainly be using it while I work out so I won't want to use big 'ole "earmuffs"...any suggestions?

    I've tried many, many different kinds of phones with my iPods over the last 2 years. I own several isolater-style phones from SHURE , ER, and Sony and they sound superb but for working out isolaters reflect too much of my breathing sounds. They also feel mushy in your ear after you start to perspire.. Unless your club has really loud music to tune out, I'd avoid isolator-types, and if you do, pick the soft plastic tips over the foam ones!
    Believe it or not, the best listening experience I've found for working out is the Koss KSC-75 Sport Clip-On Headphones.
    These clip on to your ears but they are completely comfortable- unlike every other clip-on type I've ever tried.
    They currently retail for $13 at some retail websites, and the sound is tremendous. I enjoy listening to music on these more than even my isolators. They are that comfortable and great-sounding.
    heres a review on a website that does a good job of reviewing phones by usage categories.

  • Best headphones for working out? Shure E2C or Bose In ear TriPort?

    I want some good headphones for my Nano (2nd gen) while I'm working out (jogging).
    My wife gave me the Bose In Ear TriPort for Xmas, and while the sound is very good, the right tends to "loosen up" easily. I can return within 30 days, hence I need opinions on other headphones for working out.
    I have read positive reports on the Shure E2C and the Sennheiser MX 70.
    Does anybody have any experience using these headphones during workouts? I am looking for great sound but more importantly, a set of in ear phones that stay secure while working out. I do not want heavy bass either.
    All opinions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the E2c and they are great. The only caveat I have are the sleeves. It comes with 3 types, flex, soft flex, and foam. They all come in 3 sizes also. The best fit that works for me are the foam. They stay in your ear and provide excellent isolation.
    Here is the site to read about them.

  • Just got iPod shuffle for a new family member, but it won't work

    I got an iPod (nano) for christmas this year, and that one installed fine. Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we got her an iPod (shuffle). Since we all share a computer, and iTunes is already hooked up to this one, we figured it would work. When she plugged it into the USB port, well nothing happened. I've been going through everything since I got home about an hour ago. I can't find anything about installing a second iPod to iTunes. Anybody feel like helping?

    Who did you get it in the mail from? Apple, Verizon, or someone else? What model iPhone? Some models need to be activated by Verizon. There's a number you can call to activate it; check your Verizon documentation.

  • HT1719 Help buying an ipod shuffle for my elderly dad

    Hi! Hoping someone out there can help! My dad wants to listen to music while he walks. I think a shuffle would be the best bet. However I see the battery life is 15 hours. Is that the time before you recharge it again or what happens after 15 hours? Also, they dont have a computer...how would he charge it? One more thing..do they make speakers for it go on?? Thanks!!

    The 15 hours is how long Apple estimates the shuffle will play music, in typical use, from full charge to empty.  That's 15 hours of playing time, not counting the time it is not being used, with the understanding that batteries do drain slowly and lose power just by sitting there.
    You can also charge it from a power adapter, like this one
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adaptor
    Other chargers that have a USB port may also work.  However, if there is no computer, there is no way to load it with music.  If you are going to load it with music for him, and make ongoing updates (and you have a computer that can run iTunes), that would work.
    You can use any external self-powered speakers that connect with a standard mini-stereo plug.
    The ideal simplified use for an iPod shuffle is to play songs from it in random ("shuffled") order.  Turn it on, play songs in no particular order, turn it off.  You can do more with it, but that will require doing things like setting up and syncing playlists, and switching playlist using the VoiceOver feature,
