Old ipod shuffle, just doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

I have a really old ipod shuffle, like the first one they came out with and I was wondering if there is a way to get it to work. It stopped working a while ago and my son wants one so I thought this would be a great first one for him. If I can get it to work! Please help me!!!

Either way, at best it's likely that the battery is shot and in need or replacement. Sorry.

  • I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

    I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
    If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version).  They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder.  You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
    I can't think of any other way to get it back...
    NOTE:  An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1.  If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
    I use an even older iPhone (original).  I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer.  When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

    Try # 2 and 3 in link below. If neither work, your screen digitizer might need to be replaced.

    Maybe here:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    Assuming that you backed up prior to deleting your contacts, navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • What good is a NEW iPod shuffle that doesn't work?!

    Has Apple fixed the problem regarding the shuffles not be a recognized driver?
    I cannot believe that a company as huge as Apple, has not problem-solved and found an answer for people who purchased it's product.
    I feel very frustrated, and my 3 kids -- all waiting for me to get their iPods working, are annoyed.
    Thank you, Apple.

    I trashed mine (iGB Shuffle) after many days spent. My shuffle just stop working one day. I tried everything from Apple website suggested 10 times at least. Still no good. I am an Information System professional. I deal with this kind of problems daily. But we all rely on the manufacturer to provide helps. AFter 90 days, you have to pay to be able to 'chat' online with support. I bought new Toshiba Gigabeat. Cheaper and 'IT WORKS'. So return the products and get your money back buy something else. good Luck!!!

  • New ipod shuffle remote doesn't work correctly

    I've bought a player today, plugged in to USB port. iTunes proposed me to update to the latest version - I agreed. So I had the lates updates. When I try to increase volume using remote - it doesn't work. When I stop playing by using middle button then try to change volume level it is changed only for one step even if I pressed 20 times.... I think it's BIG bug...
    Who knows is it can be fixed or not?
    Thank you!

    Somebody know solutions for my problem?
    I guess, maybe it's problem with i use notebook and usb power has below require? I am angry...

  • TS1600 I received a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  I have the two discs to install OS X but when it tries to boot just  comes up Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anything I can do to get this running

    I rceived a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  They gave me the two install discs but it keeps coming up cannot install OS X on this computer.
    Is there anything to do. Thanks hopefully

    Well, Apple would probably point out that what you are trying to do violates the EULA.
    Technically speaking, however, the issue is that the install/restore DVDs that ship with Macs do not carry all the drivers, or even all of the various versions of libraries that support all of the various models of Macs. The come-with-your-Mac disks are different than the retail versions of the OS (also, the come-with-your-Mac ones bundle iLife, which the retail ones don't).
    Because the come-with-your-Mac disk contains only the drivers specific to that generation and model line of Mac, it contains a stub of code that verifies that your hardware matches the driver set on the install/restore DVD.
    Your friend has a different model of Mac, with different hardware, so her install/restore disk won't work in yours. Solution: go get the retail boxed version of Leopard.

  • Recently purchased a Canon T5i and now my Elements 11 will not work.  Just purchased this program before I updated my camera.  Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

    How do I get my Canon T5i to work with Photoshop Elements 11?  Do I need to update?  I just purchased 11 just before 12 came out so am not that anxious to purchase the new one.

    Hi Kathy,
    If you do have the MAC App from the Apple store, you can always download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your CR2 file to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 11.

    Alternatively, you could use the Canon software (DPP) to conver the raw files to TIF files and use them in PSE 11.

  • I restored my iPod touch, but was unable to restore my data from a backup, so I synced it and now all of the data from my apps has gone, and so have in app purchases. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get my app data back? All levels completed on games have been erased, and I am unable to use in app purchases which I did purchase, such as the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds. Thanks for your help

    Go to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences and se what the date iis of the backup(s).  Apple only retaines the latest backup unless you restor from a backup and that one is also kept.

  • The on and off sleep button at the top of the phone has stopped working is there anything I can do

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Has anyone else had trouble connecting to a VW Golf media connector? My old iPod Shuffle works fine.

    Have just bought a new Volkswagon Golf and a new iPod nano. My old iPod Shuffle works perfectly in the new car but the nano will not initialise and fails to function. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Apple changed the Dock connector recently.
    - charging via FireWire is no longer supported
    - audio out works differently. As far as I can work out, the audio signal is still connected to the same pins, but it will only be switched on under certain conditions (the Dock has to tell the iPod that it can handle line audio, I presume).
    I had the same problem with my Sik IMP. I stumbled on a partial solution: I connected an iJet Nav (wireless remote) between the iPod and the IMP. That enabled the audio out again. My iPod still doesn't charge though.
    The DockStubz adapter solves the charging problem:

    I haven't tried a combination of the two.
