  • My Shuffle is dead.

    Hello
    Just under 6 months ago, I bought a lovely new iPod Shuffle. (The first generation of course). We bumped along perfectly together, and I didn't know what I would do without it.
    Well, now I know what I would do without it. Because it died. Here's the story: Yesterday, I was fast-forwarding to a certain song, repeatedly pressing the fast-forward button. And suddenly, I hear an extraordinarily loud "POP" in my ears, and the machine starts playing a song that is is most definetly not supposed to be playing.
    I turned it off and back on again, and a green light turned on for a few seconds, then off for under a second, then green again. It did that about 5 times, and then played normally. "Fishy," I thought. Then it did the "POP" thing again. It was loud enough to damage my hearing, so I shoved the thing in my pocket and blamed it on the battery being to low or something.
    Well, that night I charged it fully. This morning I turned it on, and that very same green light blinked... and turned off... and blinked again.. and turned off... And it would not stop! I pressed every single face button, and nothing happened.
    It's definetly not the battery, and it's not the "Green-and-amber-lights-of-death". What on earth should I do? Is my iPod dead permanently?
    Thank you for reading this whole thing. I hope you can help me.

    That sounds very much like a bad track from ITMS; this is a known problem area and can result in your described symptoms.
    The quick fix is to remove that offending track from the Shuffle and, after having done so, the rest should play just fine. If this is a typical case you will continue having problems with that track, although it may very well (and also might not) play perfectly fine in iTunes. You can also expect that other tracks from that same album, if downloaded at the same time, will also have similar problems.
    You can, if you like, work through ITMS Support to get that track replaced. If that doesn't suit, you can also go through a 'burn to audio CD and then reimport into iTunes' kind of a sequence. Both of these are described in more detail in other threads in these forums, and there might be fixes in addition to those.

  • SMTP 3500 - USB 2.0 Not Working - Shuffle is Dead

    After using my shuffle for several months successfully, today my computer only recognizes the shuffle as SMTP 3500 - Player Recovery Device Class.
    Also, my computer somehow no longer recognizes the USB 2.0 ports as high speed ports, because when I connect the shuffle it indicates that the device requires a high speed port connection.
    The shuffle itself is dead. No lights appear when I connect it and the battery indicator light does not illuminate when I press the status indicator.
    Please help

    After spending several hours attemping to to look for info to fix this issues, I decided to try something weired.
    When the STMP3500 message pop up choose to reinstall driver. Point the driver location to C:\Program Files\iPod\iPod Updater 2005-06-26\StMp3Rec.inf (you need to install the laste Ipod Updater.
    Then run the Ipod updater aganin Start->Programs->iPod->iPod Updater 2005-06-26->iPod Updater 2005-06-26
    After retore to factory setting then prompt to restart the PC. Then my Ipod came to life once again.

  • Power supply fan dead - help? (400mhz AGP G4)

    Hello!
    Unfortunately, my PowerMac G4, a 400mhz, AGP Sawtooth model, has a dead fan.
    Over the last few weeks, I've noticed that my G4 has been running quite hot. I figured it was due to the hot dorm room that it's being used in. Then, I noticed that when it booted up, it would occasionally make a vibrating, or rattling noise - I figured the fan was wobbling. Since air was comming out of the fan opening at the top, I didn't worry about it.
    Today, I used the "Temperature Monitor" widget to check the temperature of my SMART Hard drive (the G4 itself is not sensed). It was 133 degrees!!! This is the bay on the back-right, just under the CPU fan. I looked at the fan again - not much airflow. I pulled out a flashlight and pointed it in, and the Fan that's inside the power supply unit is dead.
    So, how can I fix it? It's far far too hot, so it's not usable until I can cool it off. The first idea I had was to take a particularly powerful desk fan, and make a paper "tube" that connects both to the G4 and back of the fan - so it'll pull the hot air out. Needless to say, this is not a good log-term plan as it's easy to fall apart and will have leaks, but it works for now. I realize you can buy power supplies, but for ~$100, it's far too much for the old G4.
    Second idea: The fan is inside the "non-user servicable" power supply, but it's also next to the back of the G4 - right inside what appears to be a panel that holds the power supply in. At the very least, I'd like to make sure that the cable is attached and not loose, but I have to open the back. Is that possible or safe? If so, can I replace the fan?
    My third idea was to attach an extra fan to the inside of the G4, on the outside of the power supply - pushing in. Unfortunately, the IDE cable from the DVD drive is in the way, and there's not much room for a fan. Plus, there's no fan power supply. Is it possible to convert an ATA power plug (there are 7!) to a fan-power supply? I'd require a small circuit and a lot of resistors, obviously! If so, what would I need to do to convert it?
    Thanks a bunch,
    -Dan
    15" 1.67 Powerbook G4 (Jan 2005), 400 mhz AGP Sawtooth G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   4G Clickwheel and 5G Vid iPods, 2G iPod shuffle

    Thanks!
    Interesting, this "Piggy back power adapter" will allow me to plug the fan into one of the ATA/IDE cables? Or do you mean the extra port on the power supply? (it has one plug for the outlet>G4, then another to support something like a monitor or similar) The G4 has a DVD burner, but no ZIP drive, so this is quite do-able if it uses the ATA power.
    When you say "lower rear", do you mean at the bottom? Below the power supply, to the right of the PCI slots? If so, this is the inflow for the CPU fan! I can understand mounting it outside the current outflow-vent for the dead power supply fan, although I'm not sure the best way to proceed with attaching the fan.
    Another question: what tools and supplies will I need? I may need to remove the plastic cover on the back of the G4 - the one that is outside the power supply - as there's a gap between the gray plastic and metal chassis that lets air from outside the machine come in. The screws for this cover use a funky, hexagonal screwdriver. If I need to take this cover off, what kind of screwdriver will I need? Also, should the fan not include screws/etc, what's the best method to attach it? Glue?
    Secondly, to cut a hole in the G4, will I need some variety of drill? I don't have one, so i'll have to borrow one... Since there's nothing in the ZIP slot, I can run a cable out through here (assuming it's long enough), and make a new bezel to keep the airflow inside intact.
    Ah! One other (somewhat related) question: my USB 2 card includes a power adapter, for use when several un-powered devices (flash drives) are attached. It works just fine with a flash drive and a small media reader, but it's slow to sense the drives - I think it's low on power. Unfortunately, this power plug uses the same variety of plug as the floppy disk drives found on many win-boxes - of which the G4 possesses none. Is there an adapter/cable for this purpose?
    Thanks, this is a HUGE help, I appreciate it.

  • ITunes reports Shuffle with 40GB - Help

    I am at a complete loss on this one. After upgrading to iTunes 7.1, my working Shuffle (1st gen) has gone south. iTunes reports it has 30.11GB in use with a capacity of 39.15GB. But this is only a 512MB Shuffle.
    I have tried everything I can think of - uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, downgraded to iTunes 6.0.5, even made sure to remove iPodService, but nothing has help. Although iTunes says it can successfully load songs to my Shuffle, nothing plays, and every time I plug in my Shuffle, iTunes keeps prompting for the Shuffle setup. Searching Google has found nothing and I'm hoping someone here can help me.

    actually, all those symptoms are suggesting that you might be having trouble with a windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting suggestions on that possibility, see the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Help my ipod touch 4th gen. wont turn on it wont even show the symbol to say its dead Help im really scared and if its broke i cannot afford another one!

    it wont even show the symbol that its dead please help me

    Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

  • My ipod Shuffle is Dead?

    I have a Ipod Shuffle since November 25, it worked very well until yesterday, i dont know what happenned, but it wont turn on, and my computer wont recognise it, only sometimes after plugging it several times it starts charging, but it gets very hot (i dont remember it getting that hot before) if i take it off to listen music it wont turn on again, i already left it a lot of time charging and when i try to turn it on it wont work.
    So do you think my ipod is dead and i should go to get a new one? or what should i do?, (i already made the 5Rs and nothing works)

    Return it to Apple as it sounds faulty.
    It is under warranty and they should replace it.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation HELP NEEDED !!!

    I have an iPod shuffle 2nd generation, the years suppoort is up and apple have done their best to drop me when all I really need is some technical know how not a huge overhaul of my iPod shuffle! And so here I am my last resort to try and sort this very frustrating issue out.
    Basically I loaded my suffle with songs and gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. We plugged it into the car  (via usb) worked fine also the HD ready TV via the usb docking bay it comes with no problem!!! Sounds lovely so far, but alas the gadget was loved but not the music.
    So we plugged it into my girlfriends laptop, loaded with music in iTunes (latest version). Synced it with this pc and reloaded the music from her laptop. Sounds easy so far but from then on it wont play in the car via usb or the TV!!!! This is so annoying and frustrating so typical of apple in my opinion! I have reset and restored the device umpteen times via iTunes even downloaded the restore software and ran it as an XP proggy as apple hasnt updated it to later versions of windows and still it wont work. The car says its an empty USB yet it plays fine in the car via the 3.5 jack but of coarse we loose all the functionality of the built in car audio control on the wheel etc! And using the device by taking eyes of the road could be disatrous for the misses! The TV shows iTunes folder, Music folder even 3 extra folders F0,0 F01 and F02 but all are empty according to it! But in iTunes obviously the shuffle is full and loaded and it plays fine via the jack plug!
    And so can anyone help shed light why it worked fine through the USB bay supplied with the iPod in the car and the TV until we reassociated with another PC with latest version of iTunes installed. Can this be fixed! Or is it yet another Apple annomoly never to be fixed and brushed under the carpet of rotten cores!
    We both run latest version of windows 7 ultimate with latest version download from apple of iTunes.
    Sincerely!

    hi MissErin!
    the best place to start with that message is here:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

  • Shuffle appears dead

    My shuffle stopped working today.
    It was fully charged last night and filled with music.
    I plug it in to my car stereo on my way to work and then hook up the headphones for the walk from the car park. On the way home, when hooked up to the car stereo through AUX port, the music stopped right in the middle of a song for no apparent reason. Total play time today was just over an hour.
    Since then no lights, not recognised in iTunes and unable to reset.
    Any suggestions on what could be wrong or how to fix before I decide it is really dead and send it off the the recycler.

    take it to an apple store or where you bought it because if the USB broke on it they won't work.
