Why is my 4th ipod shuffle in six months still not working properly.?

I purchased my ipode shuffle (4th gen) in June and have had to exchange it for a new one 3 times.  Why won't this product work?  Mac user for 15 years, losing faith quickly.

That is definetely not the case, though. Like I stated above multiple times, I have made sure to be extra careful with each and every iPod Touch I've owned, the roughest thing I do with it is put it in my pocket (headphone facing upwards, not pushing down inside my pocket)

  • IPOD 4th generation still not working properly

    Hi, I sent my ipod to assistance because of a problem, they did not spot the problem and they sent me back my Ipod...
    It still has the same problem:
    - during hot days the audio stop after making noises, it need to be cooled to start working again. this happens even if I hold my Ipod in my hand, after a while it overheat and stop working. I have to say that this really STINKS!
    What should I do?

    by the way, the fact that it is impossible to send a feed-back about the support procedure is really annoying... my Ipod still doesn't work properly and I have to waste a lot of time trying to contact again apple...

  • My Ipod nano (2nd gen.) is not working properly

    While i was taking a walk i looked at my ipod and it was going through my music on its own. every second i waited it skipped to another song, i couldnt turn it off untill it got to the end of the list, so i just turned it off and left it in my pocket untill i got home. when i pulled it out of my pocket i tried to play some music but it wouldn't even play. every time i tried to skip ahead in the song it went to the next song. I have no idea as to the problem but if anyone who reads this knows please share your knowledge with me.

    I appreciate the help - some of the advice has worked sporadically.
    However, my question is -
    WHY ISN"T APPLE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM???
    It is very frustrating to read, over and over, that people are having the same problem, and are being told by Apple's techs that the problem doesn't exist.
    Either we are all in a mass hallucination, or their techs are not in touch with reality - this many people, with the same problem, means there is a problem!

  • Why my music application in iphone 4 with IOS 5 not working properly??

    I have Updated mine to IOS 5 and my songs are not playing pproperly from the new Music App. They are syncing properly but not playing some songs,skipping some songs and showing one song but playing another.. Its annoying..Please help me.. Thanks
    Harish,..

    Hi all.
    Possible fix:
    Had this annoying issue, or similar. Songs on my iphone 4 would skip untilit found a song it could play, but often left up on the screen a different song to the one playing. It appeared songs hadnt been transferred or were missing causingthe phone to skip the songs.
    I heard that if you get a 'weird' beep noise this is the 'shake to shuffle' feature which can be turned off via Settings>Music.
    If you have a similar issue to mine, I read converting to AAC (right click song in Itunes and choose 'convert to AAC) could work, and did for me, but is time consuming and duplicates the song.
    What worked for me? Turning off 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' on the Devices>Your Iphone main menu (device summary page). This reloads all songs to the iphone and appears to fix the issue. I have checked a few songs I knew had issues and they now work, and I can get through 10+ shuffle songs (thats as many as I checked) without a skip.
    Good luck. Let me know if it works.

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
    There are some complaints,  that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.
    Have a nice day!

  • HT201269 Why can't my ipod shuffle be ejected from Itunes?

    This is the last problem I am having with my Apple product.  This is a brand new Ipod shuffle, to replace my first Ipod which broke, I have had so many problems getting it to work.  Among other things I got error messages and had to reinstall ITunes which I couldn't do but finally succeeded after visiting this community.  I am very annoyed right now.  I need help!  Must be a simple thing.  I just want to get to the gym!!!

    Hi,
    Thank you for helping me.  There was no Ipod shuffle community in the menu so I went for Ipod Touch, sorry about that.  In the end I ejected my Ipod Shuffle through my lap top, it works fine.  When I clicked on the eject button I got a message that the device was being used by antoher device or something like that. 
    To use my new Ipod shuffle I had to restore the original settings and was able to build a playlist for the gym, that's all I need!  Originally I wanted to use the voice over feature, I wanted my playlists from my Ipod nano to sync up to my new Apple device but that didn't work so...  I am not a techie and having to reinstall, restore and the like irritates me.
    Thank you for trying to help me.

  • HT1477 I am trying to install a new iPod Shuffle and my pc does not pick it up.  My pc is running windows 8.1 os.  I do not see that os in the list of operating systems.

    You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
    And which version of Windows do you have?
    NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
    You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
    You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
    If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
    Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
    IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
    Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there.

  • HT2731 I lost my ipod for about six months now I cannot get the ipod store to come on screen on my pc or log into the itunes store. What should I do?

    I lost my ipod for about six months, now when I plugged it into my pc, the itunes store no longer shows up and i cannot connect to any app or itunes from the ipod.

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
