Shuffle wont plug into usb power adapter

I bought the usb power adapter that plugs into the wall for my shuffle,but the shuffle doesnt fit in the adapter. What do I do>

John,
I have two Shuffles, and both work just fine with the USB Power Adapter. Assuming you can plug your Shuffle into a computer's USB port, then the problem must be with the Power Adapter -- unless you're trying to plug the Shuffle in upside-down. For a new adapter the fit is tight, so push a little bit once you're sure you've got the Shuffle oriented properly. When you get it to fit, you'll find that the Shuffle charges best when it's turned OFF -- and be patient once you plug it in because it takes almost a minute for the Shuffle's status light to illuminate.

  • If I always have my MB Pro plugged into the power adapter. . . .

    If I always have my MB Pro plugged into the power adapter, will my battery still wear out as it would if I were depleting and recharging it daily?
    I tend to find a power outlet anywhere that I go in order to run my MB Pro on the adapter rather than using battery power. It's a habit that formed while using my 6 year old Powerbook G4 with about 5 minutes of battery life per full charge.
    I understand that it shouldn't wear out to the same extent as running the battery down constantly, but is there still a significant effect?
    Does the adapter bypass a full battery and power the computer directly?
    I feel like an idiot asking this question, but I am really curious.
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    Various yes and no takes on it:

  • Can Shuffle play while charging on Apple USB Power Adapter?

    Hi,
    We would like to purchase a shuffle (2nd gen) to play continuously music on hold to our company's telephone system. The Phone system's audio-in jack is compatible. I've connected my 1st Gen iPod shuffle to the phone system, and it plays fine.
    We will not be able to plug the shuffle into a computer, so we will need to plug it into the Apple USB Power Adapter.
    Is anyone doing this? Does it work? Any problems?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

    Hi,
    my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
    Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

    indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

  • HT4060 Hi, I have bought iPad air, and got apple 12w USB Power Adapter with pin flat plug. It is a problem for me. I live in Switzerland and the electric outlet is suitable only for round pin plug.

  • My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    I have the same issue.
    The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
    With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
    It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
    I have tried several things so far:
    1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
    2. Reset SMC and PRAM
    3. Installed latest battery update
    4. Tried new battery
    5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
    I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
    Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before.  Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
    Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these?

  • Old Apple USB Power Adapter with New Shuffle

    I just purchased a shuffle (2nd gen) and was wondering if I can use the Apple USB Power adapter that I use for my ipod (5th gen - the adapter is about two years old) to charge it, or can I only use my computer? The Apple store shows that it's compatible with the newer adapters, so I'm assuming I should be fine, but wanted to make sure.
    Also, is there anyway to check on the computer, once the shuffle is docked, how full the charge is or isn't?
    Thanks!!

    It should work... try it!

    The only indication is the status LED, it's either orange for charging or
    green for "charged"...

  • Will iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen work with 1st Gen USB Power Adapter?

    Hi.
    I have the iPod USB Power Adapter (M9837ZM/A) and was wondering if it will also work with the iPod shuffle 2nd Gen?
    Mine only lists the original shuffle (naturally) and I just realized that Apple apparently re-designed the USB Power Adapter (MB051LL/A), which does list the 2nd Gen shuffle (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E82 45892&nplm=MB051LL/A).
    Does anyone know if I can use my power adapter with my new 2nd Gen shuffle?
    Thanks!

    Will I be still pleasantly surprised when my iPod is fried?
    So, what you're saying is, that whatever happens, it cannot do harm to the iPod?
    If that's so, i'll give it a try.

  • 2nd gen iPod Shuffle USB power adapter

    Hi everyone,
    haven't found thi info anywhere... One year and a half ago I bought the 2nd generation iPod Mini (silver pod, remember?) and its USB power adapter, which worked with every iPod at that time.
    Just bought the brand new 2nd gen iPod Shuffle: will it work with my "old" USB power adapter, or have I to get the new USB power adapter (I've seen a new form factor around...)?
    Thank you - Best of all

    Hi, Atcandela.
    I've a Macally external fire/usb enclosure that powers up and mounts directly on to my PB Aluminum 1.67 laptop but the USB portion doesn't draw power.
    Do you mean it mounts and works OK when connected via FireWire, but not when connected via USB? If so, that's unsurprising. I would be surprised to hear that it doesn't mount when you use the FireWire connnection, because most drives are able to get enough power from that port.
    Does MacAlly not offer a cable for your drive that allows it to draw power from both your USB ports? Some manufacturers of external drives or enclosures do offer such a cable, and it's well worth buying because it's much smaller and more portable than an AC adapter. Have a look at this one from Western Digital — it might fill the bill for you.

  • Can't recharge using iPod USB power adapter

    My 2nd gen iPod shuffle will recharge ok when plugged into the USB port of my Mac, but when I plug it into an iPod USB power adapter it won't recharge, the indicator light does not light up, and if I turn the power on the light turns to amber for a couple of seconds then goes blank.

    This sounds like your iPod USB Power Adapter is malfunctioning... does it charge other iPods?

  • New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

    I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

  • IPod Nano + USB Power Adapter (+ Universal Dock)

    Hi,
    I've got an iPod Nano and a USB Power Adapter to charge it. Untill a few days ago it went fine, even with my Universal Dock between them. But since 2 days my iPod only charges when I put the Power adapter direcly into the wall plug, but with my Hi-Fi installation I'll have to use it with a multiple socket.
    Does anybody know why and how to get round this?
    Thanks

    possibly a fuse blown in the multiple socket plug?? or even in the power adapter itself

  • Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

    I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance.

    Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
