Shuffle 3rd generation won't charge - help!

I lost my USB charging cord for a while and my shuffle sat stagnant and out of charge.  Now I have a new cord (which works on my daughter's newer shuffle) and it won't take a charge.  Is it dead?

Very likely considering the Shuffle went for a period of time without any sort of charge, which can kill the battery a lot faster than normal usage.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod shuffle (3rd generation) 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

    My iPod was working fine and then my oldest son put in a flash drive to download some music and now my iPod will not connect to iTunes.
    Doublechecking something. Are you still back at SP2 for your XP? Or do you have SP3 in place?

  • HT1510 my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes

    my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes when i plug it in to the back of the computer and when the off/on switch is halfway it gives me a solid red light on the iPod battery status light for about five seconds does anyone know what to do

    If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"?  Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version).  It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window.  Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
    The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery.  That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected.  In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle.  In any case, power is not getting to the battery.  It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected.  That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
    You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port.  If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

  • Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100%  charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old

    Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100%  charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old and don't want to buy a new one if this problem will continue to happen. Help

    Do not let the battery drop to 0%. That is very damaging for a lithium based battery, as in the iPad. Charge at any time, for any amount.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    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):

  • 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.
