Yosemite and Shuffle 3rd gen

Hi there
I have a shuffle 3rd gen that I use at the gym.
I've just bought some Bose SEi2i headphones for it (they're meant to work with this model) but only some of the functions do. The volume and skip don't work. Bose suggest making sure the shuffle software is updated.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, the Mac won't recognise the shuffle at all, so not only can I not update it, I can no longer add music to it.
Am gutted! Has anyone got any ideas how I might restore it please?

Greetings miserable cow,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to update your iPod, but when you connect it to your Mac, iTunes doesn’t recognize it. To troubleshoot this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

  • Ipod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great and is perfect for my needs

    I just wanted to post that my iPod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great. No problems and I love it. I use it mainly for listening to podcasts. As soon as I turn it on it begins on the podcast I last listened to --where I was in the middle of the podcast. I stick the Shuffle in my pocket and all I ever have to do is use the headphone controls to pause, move forward or backward in the podcast, skip to the next one, or go back to the beginning, etc. I also love to be able to use the volume control on the headset without having to fumble around for my Shuffle in my pocket where it is safely tucked and won't get knocked off or damaged. I listen to my Shuffle for a few hours a day when doing yard work, household tasks and driving back and forth to work.
    All the features are working just the way they are supposed to on my Shuffle. There are a bunch of negative posts about the Shuffle and I just wanted to say that mine works great and I enjoy it very much. I have had the Shuffle for 4 weeks and have not had any problems whatsoever. I own several other models of iPods (first version Mini, Video 60gb, Nano 1 & 2, Shuffle 1,2,& 3, Touch) But the handsfree/visual free ability of this 3rd gen Shuffle is great and very useful for me.
    Just my two cents.

    Linda,
    No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
    If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
    I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.

  • My iPod shuffle 3rd Gen icon has been replaced by a generic drive icon

    I connected my iPod shuffle 3rd Gen up via iTunes today only to find that Lion was displaying a generic drive icon for it in place of the iPod shuffle icon. I've since tried restoring the iPod using iTunes, and re-starting my MacBook Pro but it's not fixed it. There doesn't seem to be a standard icon library in Lion and I can't find any discussions about this on the various Apple support pages. Any ideas how to get it back?

    You need to reinstall iWork from the original source or from backup. If you installed it from a DVD, the Mac App Store version isn't free.

  • My iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) isn't responding to my Apple headphones!

      When I got my iPod Shuffle (3rd gen), it came with headphones. Since then I've been using these headphones for all my Apple products, so sometimes I use the remote earphone controls to turn up and down the volume, pause songs, play songs, play next songs, and play previous songs. Now, this doesn't work anymore because my iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) doesn't respond to my remote earphone control's commands. Why does this happen? My iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) is updated to the latest version too.

    Hello pagtaljav1,

    Since you are using the headphones that came with your iPod shuffle please follow the troubleshooting in the link below, starting at "Reset".

  • Ipod shuffle 3rd gen volume control issue

    I have IPod Touch and IPod Shuffle 3rd gen and I bought a new pair of headphones in the Apple store in London few months back and the headphones were totally fine when used in IPod Touch. Yesterday I put them into my IPod Shuffle and I am experiencing a problem with the volume - I can't put it up or down.
    It's not the "limit volume" thing, I already tried that...
    Any suggestions..?

    Hey paralelopipak,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the headphones have a volume problem only on this iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    -- If iTunes does not se the ipod try placing the iPod first in recovery mode and then in DFU mode.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • HT1477 ipod shuffle 3rd gen is not charging

    When I place my ipod shuffled 3rd gen into the charging dock it does not charge.   Other ipods are able to charge in the dock but not this particular ipod.   Is there some kind of reset besides turning off and on for the shuffle?

    Has this 3G Shuffle ever been able to charge from this particular dock or is the first time you have tried connecting it?  Does the dock's manufacturer state that the dock is capable of charging a 3G Shuffle?
    Does the iPod still charge when you connect it to a USB port on your PC/Mac or when you connect it to a USB wall adapter?

  • HT1510 I pod shuffle 3rd gen

    Hi there, for the i pod shuffle 3rd gen where can I get a new clip the shiny metallic one because my one is really scratched and I was looking to replace it, Many Thanks

    You can't buy a new replacement for the clip, as far as I know.  There are online stores that sell used iPod parts, although a quick search using Google did not reveal anyone with that particular part.  You could buy a broken 3rd gen shuffle on eBay that looks to be in good shape externally, and swap parts.  Otherwise, if it's working, I'd just keep using it as is.
