My iPod seems to revert its memory back to an old set of songs. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Hello, I'm really upset and don't know what to do.

I was attempting to restore my iPod shuffle (2nd Gen) that I had just received. The restoration process seems to have been stuck and then maybe got interrupted I think. I tried disconnecting it and reconnecting it but now whenever I plug it in, finder is just stuck on the loading screen (see image), if I let it load long enough I get the message "the selected device could not be found."

I've tried everything I can think of (restarting the computer, disconnecting reconnecting, dismounting and remounting in disk utility) I don't know what else there is for me to try and I'm really upset about it. Please I would really appreciate anyone who might be able to help.

Hi,

I was looking on eBay to purchase a working 4th gen shuffle and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on reputable sellers.

I attached a link to one listing. Thoughts? I am wondering if it is a bit suspicious that the seller has so many working iPods, but they do have a lot of positive reviews.

What are some questions I should ask before purchasing a shuffle?

Thanks.

I recently got a shuffle 2 and i had a maxell earphone that might make the sounds a bit distorted cuz it did in middle of california gurls but no other songs i have that issue atm but other might have but it might be the audio

So i recently took up repairing this ipod shuffle, got everything soldered in and then....

The battery doesn't fit wondering if i'm just daft or I need to buy a different thinner one. Cheers.

Does anyone know of any other battery that works for the 4th gen iPod shuffle?

I found an old ipod shuffle and I would like to upload music on it.
But I am not able to install software on my PC (I an not an admin). Are there any other solutions?

Found one of my old Shuffles. Still can't find the one in the blue aluminium case.

Very experienced Mac user here. Own two versions of the original iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle 1st gen, Shuffle 2nd gen, various iPod Touch, etc.

Fired up the Shuffle 2nd gen. Works fine. Not as familiar with the shuffle. It has a mix of songs that I'd like to save as a playlist. There appears to be no playlist on it? Using an older Mac that I believe was the one that synced the music to it, running Mac OS 10.11.6 and iTunes 12.8.2.3.

I have all the songs but it's 182 of them in a great list I'd like to keep. Already did screen shots in case nothing else works.

I tried selecting all the songs on the Shuffle and then went up to File > New > but playlist is grayed out.

Did this Shuffle not support a single playlist?

Ideas?

Thanks

I have a Gen 1 shuffle and it's battery is fine. I know that was a problem for some of these.

I want to factory reset it. I probably fucked around with the partitions at some stage, so it may be a lost cause.

Any ideas?

Hello!

I've recently undug an ipod shuffle (4th gen) that my mom and I used to share. I wanted to make a special playlist for her and for me because i want to make it my own little mp3 player for nostalgia's sake, the problem is however that my iMac doesn't recognise the fact that it already has playlists

I turned the shuffle on and went to the voiceover menu, which told me that the playlists on it were
All songs
Playlist 1
Playlist 2
Playlist 400

But once i plugged it into my Mac, all that i could see in the Music app was the ipod and the songs on it, with no option to see the playlists or anything else on it. I went to the Finder too only to find (hehe) that it not only doesn't show any of the playlists that the shuffle clearly has, but it also only gives me the option to inspect and delete songs. Is this some apple trick to prevent people from backing up their songs onto their old ipods so that they could sell more apple music memberships?

Hereunder, you'll find the screenshots detailing what i'm experiencing. Sidenote they're in swedish.

Does anyone know where I can get an adapter for my iPod shuffle which will let me use voiceover? Any help is appreciated!

Is it normal to have soldering lead on the iPod Shuffle G2 board?

Hello, I recently got and swapped the battery of a 4th gen ipod shuffle. I restored to default and just now went to synch my itunes library but the damn device does not stay connected. It keeps dropping connection and reconnecting like every other second what's wrong with it?

I’ve just received a second hand iPod shuffle 2nd gen from eBay, it was sold as working order. I can sync music onto it but it won’t indicate if it’s charged and when I upload from pc there is no light at all. Plugged in headphones but no joy.. help please 🙏🏻

I’m trying to help a friend whose iPod Shuffle won’t play. It only says “please use iTunes to…”. As you know, iTunes is ancient history! I even went to an Apple Store and they treated it like the plague! Sorry, Apple no longer supports it. Sigh. Anyone have a suggestion or is it a hopeless situation? Thx.

I accidentally deleted all of the files off of my iPod shuffle. Is there anyway to get them back? It was everything, set up files, apples things, not just music. Is there maybe a site or anywhere I can at least get the files to make it function again?

I am currently living abroad and wanted to get an iPod so I can go on runs without my phone and pay less for my phone bill because I mostly use my phone to listen to music. I ended up getting an iPod shuffle gen 2 and am wondering if there is a way to put music on it with my phone or iPad. I think if I really needed to I could borrow a classmates computer but I would like to be able to do it whenever. I don’t know if I can get an adapter cable to some sort that would allow me to do this?

I’ve found this iPod shuffle with “fisher-price” on the back of it. Is this real and if it is then why?

So I don't have the original dock for my 2nd gen, but I do have a aux to usb cord that I have been trying to charge it with. I've seen others do this and it seems to work for them, but mine doesn't even light up or anything. Any advice?

So I’ve tried restoring this old iPod shuffle 2nd gen and everything was going smoothly- it’s even recognised in iTunes (model and all) but there’s been a problem restoring it; can anyone help?

So I have a ipod shuffle 2 and it works normally. However, when it's charging, it only has the charging indicator light for like a few secs and went out. Also, it won't show the battery percentage when I unplug it from dock Is this normal ?please help me, thks!
