Shuffle 1st gen works only in usb port, 2nd gen shuffle isn't noticed

I am aware these problems have not been solved anywhere on the internet but im praying someone has the answer to it.....maybe even someone from apple (but i dont think they care)
Lets start with my 1st gen shuffle
2 years ago it was accidently washed with my bottoms. Let it dry, charged it in the pc and everything seemed fine until i tried to listen to the songs that were still on it. The battery indicator showed no light even though while it was in the usb port, it showerd a solid green light (fully charged). Weeks later the new shuffle came out so i packed this 1 away and bought the 2nd gen.
Now my 2nd gen isn't working, so i thought i'd try again with the 1st gen. The same problem occurs even now. It charges fully but it seems dead outside of the usb port. I'm guessing the battery is dead but i await confirmation from someone with more knowledge than me.
Ok now the 2nd gen. I've had it for nearly 2 years and after a itunes update, the laptop or any other computer doesn't recognise it is connected. It still has a slight charge, the battery indicator is red (low batt) but still won't show up on windows or itunes. No lights flash when it is plugged in either.
With both shuffles i've tried EVERYTHING!! I've searched so many forums and tried everything. I even rinsed my 1st gen and let it dry off in rice (which made it completly dry over 24hrs, i'd recommend it if you ever drop your phone/ipod in water). I've heard too many people say they have the same problems with their 1st, 2nd and even 3rd ipod shuffles
I thought apple made the best mp3 players, but if the shuffles are just going to die all of a sudden with no hope of reviving them......then why else would apple keep making them and not allow people to return them? Its not our fault it happens.....1st gen was my fault.......but the 2nd gen looks BRAND NEW! I loved these shuffles but if they don't start working soon then i am not going to recommend them to anyone or even buy myself another 1. I'd rather have a cheap mp3 player that i wouldn't mind throwing away
All help is truly welcomed and thank you in advance

Is there anything that can be done?
Sorry about my spelling people

Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
John

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

In the garage I have a Netgear Router. it is connected by a ethernet cable, I have a 1tb drive that I want to use there. On the drive there is only a USB port. on the Netgear there is only ethernet ports. is there an adapter that will work for that?

It's not that simple. You need a "smart" device to connect a hard drive to, like a Time Capsule, or another computer, or an Airport Extreme/Express that was made to share a drive, or some other brand router that has a USB port for sharing a drive, etc.

How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
Please advise and thank you!

Use a (powered) USB hub.

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

Solution to only TWO USB ports, please

I should have paid more attention when I bought my Mac. I didn't realize there were only TWO USB ports on board. My job requires me to be mobile, and on any given day, I could be using up to 10 USB ports. I know they make hubs, one of which I've tried, but it didn't work. Does anyone recommend a particular brand of hub that's RELIABLE and can handle both input and output?
I'm stunned that Apple would have just 2 USB ports. My old Dell had 4, and if I remember right, I could have specified even more when they were building it.

Yes, that's the ExpressCard/34 port (labeled in this linked image). The ExpressCard port also be used for media card readers, WAN (wireless broadband) cards, etc. Good for a USB expansion hub because it's a small form factor and won't take up one of the two existing USB ports.

USB-Hub not working on LEFT USB port?

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2013) and it's running fine. Boot Camp version: 5.0.5033.
But I have one problem: I bought an external monitor (Dell U2414H) which has an built-in 4-Port USB 3.0 hub. So I connect the Dell monitor using a DisplayPort 1.2a cable and an USB 3.0 cable. But Windows only recognizes the monitor's built-in USB hub when I plug the USB cable into the right USB port (when I sit in front of the MacBook). Then it works without problems. But when I plug the USB cable into the left USB port of the MacBook Windows only says "USB device not recognized". But other devices like USB sticks and USB drives also work without problems on left and right USB port of the MacBook. Also when I boot in OS 10.9 Mavericks the monitor's USB hub is working on both USB ports of the MacBook. So I think it isn't a hardware failure. I also re-installed Windows, but I have still the same problem.
Do you have any idea, why only the monitor's built-in USB hub is not working in Windows on the left port of the MBP or even how I could fix it?
Is Boot Camp 5.0.5033 the most current version? I checked the box to download the latest Windows support software and also didn't find anything newer than 5.0.5033 to download, but sometimes I read about 5.1.1 - but where could I download it? AND: Doest it help?
Thanks in advance!

I think I've hit a variation on the problem you're enoucntering. I have a late-2013 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina. I've just installed Boot Camp and a copy of Windows 7 Pro. This is my first experience with Boot Camp and Windows on a Mac, so I'm in foreign teritory.
The install all went fine and Windows 7 booted up fine and so far, all hardware seems to be working as expected, with one exception. Things went sideways when I tried use it in "clamshell" mode - lid closed with external monitors and all my peripherals attached to a USB hub. I set up Boot Camp to boot into Windows and attempted to boot. It would give me the usual boot-up fanfair and a then a gray screen for a few seconds, and then it would reboot. It just rebooted over and over. I eventually discovered the issue was the USB hub - without the hub connected , it would boot just fine. Once it was booted into Windows, I could attach the the hub and everything would be recognized normally. Furthermore, I could put the system in sleep mode, wake it up and everything would be working fine. But it simply refuses to boot the USB hub attached. I've stumbled on a couple related threads - see https://discussions.apple.com/message/23802231#23802231. The suggestion is that only certain hubs to not work. I've got two different high quality powered hubs and both display the same behaviour. The other point is, that when booting into OS X with the same hub, it works perfectly. So it's a strange problem.
Note that after reading your post, I did try the hub in both right and left USB ports and that made no difference in my case. I do have one more hub to try (built into my Dell monitor). I'll report back if that happens to work.

Iphone doesn't work in my USB ports but everything else does, and iPhone works everywhere else!

My iPhone 3gs stopped working in the USB ports. Camera wizard doesn't even show up. Phone doesn't charge through it either, but if I plug my phone ANYWHERE else (computers and wall outlets) it works fine. When I plug keyboards and mice into my computer, they get recognized right away. My phone was working on my computer just about a week and a half ago, but just completely stopped. Can someone help me figure this out? I've read hundreds of threads from all over but can't seem to find the right answer. I'm going out of my mind here!!!

Did you do a restart, then if still not responiding then you need to do a restore through itunes.

Device works on some usb ports

My iPad stopped working on the USB port on the front on my PC. It keeps connecting and disconnecting.
It works fine when connected to a USB port in the back of the PC.
In windows, each USB port has its own driver. How do I remove the driver associated with the front port so that the iPad is recognized correctly by Windows?
Thanks.
Aloke

Hello, Aloke.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver. If the issue persists try all remaining steps.

Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle

Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle?
Seems to be a good fit, but my computer doesn't seem to recognise it.

By "3rd gen charger" are you referring to the USB cable with the
4 ring audio connector on the other end?
If so, the answer is again NO...

USB 3.0 External HDD only works on 1 USB port, rMBP 13

Hello all,
Last night I had a scare thinking that my WD MyPassport was corrupt because only one of my 3 partitions were showing up. I went into Disk Utility and attempted to mount the disk, only to get a message that I must repair it. I then realized that I plugged it into the right side of the computer, which is opposite of which I usually do. I removed the hard drive and switched ports, only to see that all three partitions magically appeared. Is there a reason this happened? Is there something wrong with my computer, or is this user error? I've never experienced this before.

Off the top of my head there could be two reasons for this. One is that the USB port is malfunctioning. The other is there is a chance the HD is pulling more power then the USB port can supply. One USB port will tend to be slightly higher power than the other. Is the HD powered by the computer or an external power supply? Was there anything plugged into the other USB port that may have been drawing power? It is best to not rely on USB bus power to power external hard drives. If the drive does not have its own power supply consider getting a powered USB hub. This should help.

Yes... take it to an Apple Store IF it's still under warranty. Otherwise, you can replace it with a refurbished 1s Gen or 2nd Gen Shuffle from the online Apple Store for $49 or $59.
