Problem with Controlling Volume on Ipod Shuffle 3rd Generation

I recently bought new headphones for my Ipod shuffle (3rd gen) and I can't control the volume. The + and - buttons on the headphones don't seem to work, I heard my Ipod might need to be reset? Other people have experienced this problem when connecting there headphones to the Ipod shuffle, so I am unsure if the headphones are actually the problem. Any advice on how to reset the Ipod shuffle and/or be able to control volume?

Try restoring to factory settings. Connect to iTunes, click on your iPod under the DEVICES section, click Restore. When asked, click Set up as New iPod.
I had this same problem the other day. The Apple Store said that if a restore doesn't fix it, then their solution is to replace the iPod. They have seen this issue before but it doesn't seem to be curable by software fixes. It usually happens on older devices.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

Can not adjust the volume up usine the selector on the head phone, on my i have the iPod shuffle 3rd generation

I have an iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation (2G) and cannot adjust the volume up or down using the (+/-) selector on the headphones (original equipment). It has worked in the past, so not sure if the reason is because I changed a setting on my ITunes Library web-page?? Thanks

Just Google for: mic for ipod touch. You will find my hits.

Charging problem for Ipod Shuffle 3rd generation

Hi all,
What is the average hours to fully charge my Ipod shuffle 3rd generation using USB cable and connect to my computer?
I have using this method for charging 2 days each times more than 3 hours but still showing orange blinking light.
Could you tell me what is the resolution.
Thanks in advance.

It's eject (not "reject"). It's the command for iTunes to unmount the iPod disk from the system, so that you can disconnect the iPod physically (without causing data errors). On an iPod with a screen, the iPod's screen says "Do not disconnect." On a shuffle, since it has no screen, the warning is the blinking amber light. When it's blinking, do not disconnect until it become solid.
In iTunes, the eject button looks like a triangle with a line below it. It is located next to the iPod's name, to the right. What happens to the iPod in iTunes, after you click the eject button? You say it "does not respond," but are you still able to access the iPod after clicking the eject button?
Another way to eject the iPod is using Windows Explorer or Finder on a Mac. Right-click on the iPod's disk icon, and select the command to "eject" it? On a Mac, it says "Eject [name of iPod's disk]." I'm not sure about the exact wording in Windows.

Can i operate ipod shuffle 3rd generation green without headphones

can i operate ipod shuffle 3rd generation green without headphones

You need headphones with compatible remote control buttons, which may be hard to find. Even the current Apple EarPod headphones do not have buttons that are compatible.
As an alternative, you can get an adapter with the buttons, and connect ANY standard headphones. Here's an example

How do i get my Ipod shuffle (3rd generation) to work on windows 7

According to the listing for the Apple EarPods at the online Apple Store, it is not compatible with the 3rd gen shuffle

The list for Compatibility shows the 4th gen shuffle, but not 3rd gen.

Ipod shuffle 3rd generation

My friend gave me his iPod shuffle 3rd generation so that I could delete the music he has on it and sync it with my iTunes library instead. When I plug it into my computer's USB port, it charges but does not appear in my devices on iTunes. How do I get my computer to recognize it?

The 3G Shuffle is not listed as being compatible with the new EarPods from Apple on the product's page in Apple's online store.
However, it could be a typo, but time will tell. Somebody over in the Shuffle forum decided to purchase a pair for the 3G Shuffle anyways and give them a shot. Here is a link to that thread.

HT2305 Since updating my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7, my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation does not recognize last 3 playlist names; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 4 -- even though in the panel the names are showing just fine. The music

I have recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have just added three new playlists to my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation. On the panel in ITunes in view on the computer, all looks fine and music plays. However, after syncing a million times, when clicking to "hear" the playlists, the voice will call out all the old playlists just fine - except for the 3 new ones I've added; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 8, or "purchased". All software for the ITunes has been updated as of the moment. Why would switching from Vista to Windows 7 cause this frustrating issue? All help appreciated.

From page 23 of your iPod's User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
So you'll want to make sure VoiceOver is enabled to correct this.

HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

There is no legal way to do this- You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
For instructions on how to delete/add songs it's best to check the manual:

As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

Do the Urban Ears Medis Plus controls work with iPod Shuffle 3rd generation?

I've emailed the company, but received a noncommittal response. I'm just wondering if anybody has used them together successfully or not. If not, can anybody recommend a decent pair of earbuds that work with this particular version of iPod shuffle?

Contact Apple and see if they can help you. Hopefully you just need a new set of earbuds.
