How To Download Music On Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation

The official estimated battery life of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Generation models are 12 hours, 10 hours, and 15 hours, respectively. No iPod shuffle models have a screen, and consequently, only support music playback.

The iPod Shuffle (stylized and marketed as iPod shuffle) is a discontinued digital audio player designed and formerly marketed by Apple Inc. It was the smallest model in Apple's iPod family, and was the first iPod to use flash memory. The first model was announced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 11, 2005; the fourth- and final-generation models were introduced on September 1, 2010.[2] The iPod Shuffle was discontinued by Apple on July 27, 2017.[1]

The front of the iPod Shuffle has buttons for Play/Pause, Next Song/Fast Forward, Previous Song/Fast Reverse, and up and down volume adjustment. On the reverse, it features a battery level indicator light (activated by a button) and a three-position switch to turn the unit off or set it to play music in order or shuffled. It plugs directly into a computer's USB port (either 1.1 or 2.0), through which it also recharged its battery, which has an expected life of around 12 hours. The USB plug has additional pins for proprietary accessories[9] and, when not in use, can be hidden beneath a cap. A second cap, included with the unit, has a lanyard attached which allows the iPod Shuffle to hang around the user's neck.

On September 12, 2006, Apple announced the release of the second-generation iPod Shuffle, calling it "the most wearable iPod ever".[10] First shipments of the unit were slated for an October 2006 arrival, but actually started shipping on Friday, November 3, 2006.[11] The second generation initially featured a lone 1 GB model in a silver brushed aluminum case, similar to the second-generation iPod Nano and the older iPod Mini. The new model was less than half the size of the first-generation model at 41.2 x 27.3 x 10.5 mm (1.62 x 1.07 x 0.41 in), and was the size of the iPod Radio Remote. Apple claimed it was the "world's smallest MP3 player". This generation included the new built-in belt clip, and the actual unit itself was thinner, with the entire device weighing only 15.5 g (0.55 ounces). The power/shuffle/no shuffle switch from the first-generation version was separated into two controls to avoid an accidentally selected mode of operation.

The third-generation iPod Shuffle was released on March 11, 2009, and was said by Apple to be "jaw-droppingly small" and "The first music player that talks to you".[14] with dimensions of 45.2 mm 17.5 mm 7.8 mm (1.8 in 0.7 in 0.3 in). It was available with a silver or black brushed aluminum case similar to the second generation iPod Shuffle; this made it the first iPod Shuffle that was available in black. It featured VoiceOver technology that allowed song names, artist names, album names and playlist contents and names to be spoken in 20 different languages[15] using the Text-to-Speech incorporated in iTunes 8 and 9, which is based on Nuance Vocalizer. Users of MacOS 10.5 and newer will hear Alex on their iPod shuffle, while MacOS 10.4 and Windows users will hear Samantha. It has also gained support for multiple playlists, in contrast to previous versions of the iPod Shuffle, which only allowed a single playlist.

The third-generation iPod Shuffle featured a polished steel attachment clip, adopting for the first time the polished steel finishing previously found only on the larger iPods, rather than the brushed aluminum used in the second-generation iPod Shuffle. It also no longer had volume or track controls on the device itself. Instead, the packaged iPod earbuds included a three-button device on the right earbud cord. This added the functions of changing between playlists, hearing the song title and artist of the track playing, as well as play/pause, track changes and volume control.[16] It originally was not possible to change songs or volume with most third-party headphones, since they lacked these controls. However, since the device began playing music automatically when it was turned on, third-party headphones could still be used in "autoplay" mode (with no volume or playback controls), and after its release, some third-party headphones and headphone adapters began to include full support for the third generation.[17] The official headphones contained a chip designed by Apple to control the device. DRM is not however present in the chip as there is no encryption used.[18]

On August 27, 2010, Apple won a patent for a "Very small form factor consumer electronic product",[21] which describes the parts and processes that go into making the ultra-portable music player, the iPod shuffle.[22]

The model also features VoiceOver from the third generation, now with a devoted physical button, in twenty-nine languages (Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish). It also features Genius, and can handle multiple playlists. Like the previous generation it supports MP3, VBR, AAC, Protected AAC, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless, and its battery lasts for 15 hours of music, according to Apple.

Apple made a bold move at the time. They retired the successful second-generation iPod shuffle (the second from the left in this image) and introduced a new iPod shuffle that lacked physical controls entirely. The only one is the ON/In order/Shuffle three-way switch on top of the unit:

The formats supported by the iPod shuffle second generation are: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4).

If it does not play music, but appears to function normally otherwise... Have you tried your headphones with something else, to confirm they are still working? When you move the power switch to the ON position, does the shuffle's light come on?

Yes, when I plug it into my computer it appears in iTunes. Yes, it appers to function normally with one exception;it does not appear to be turning on when I try to listen to music. I purchased new head phones-the ipod did not turn on and I could not hear music. Shuffle light does not come on when power switch is turned to the ON position with head phones. Light does come on when charging and when plugged into a USB port-power switch is turned OFF in these circumstances..

Hi, I recently decided to start using an old ipod shuffle gen2 I believe that we got from a friend a while back, I restored it so that I can put my own music on it. I tried to put my music on it and it didn't show up but it didn't give me any error messages so I tried to play it but it flashed the light in the way that according to the manual it doesn't have any music on it, so I tried to put the music in again and it told me that the music is already on it. So I restored it again but it still shows the same message. I have seen multiple people have the same issue but there is never an answer.

I have an Ipod shuffle 2nd generation that was given to me (so I'm not sure of there were any problems to begin with) and I'm unable to put music on it. I've tried restoring and auto filling playlists but nothing will work! there is also a message that pops up when i do try to auto fill that says it cant because the songs are already on there...but i know there aren't any song on the Ipod because the green and orange light flash whenever i press play

I just purchased my new ipod shuffle 4th gen and I used it twice and now I'm having the same issue. Has anyone found what the problem is. I've restored it multiple times, left it on a charger, and once I take it off, I get nothing. No lights blink and no response to any of my commands (buttons). Thanks for the help in advance.

I had the ipod shuffle 2nd generation since it came out, then after 2 years I decided to use it again, I tried plugging into my laptop, it will recognize into my iTunes but the light just keep blinking orange and won't charge, so I tried different ports and that didnt fixed the issue. Then I moved into my desktop, I tried all the USB ports, nothing working and then at the end I decided to give it a last try and for some reason it worked on my PC, and it started charging, the orange light was constantly on without blinking which means the battery is charging and once it was fully charged it was green. It was all great, I was adding new music whenever I needed.

After 1 week I decided to format my PC, then reinstalled all the programs, and when I wanted to add new music on my ipod shuffle I saw that the orange light started blinking and whenever I plugged my ipod it won't charge at all, just orange light keep blinking .... Because before whenever I used to plug the ipod shuffle it used to charge right away whenever I added new music, I mean in the meantime it would charge while I am browsing through my music library, now it's just orange light keep blinking. The other thing that I've noticed now is whenever I eject the ipod shuffle and then try to remove from the charger I can see that for like 1 sec the light changes colors from orange into green.

I'm using iTunes 10.2.1.1 and have what I believe is a 2nd generation iPod. If you go to the "Summary" page in iTunes that lists details of the device, software version and options, under "Options" there is box that can be checked to "Manually manage music". Place a check in that box and you should be able to deselect songs from your library. Hope that helps!

A 1st or 2nd gen shuffle does not have a Summary tab. It has a Settings tabs instead. And a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle is designed to be in "Manually manage music" mode all the time; there is no automatic syncing (except for the "Autofill" feature). So there is no checkbox anywhere for Manually manage music.

I am having trouble with my Ipod shuffle. I found it while I was walking to class, so it is not my original Ipod. It won't show up on my computer but the day I found it it worked. Until now it has sat in my mother's drawer and it has charged for an hour and a half. It won't show up on Itunes but I have the Windows 7 and have heard that the Ipod shuffle won't work for Windows 7. My Ipod is the second generation. Can anyone help me? 17dc91bb1f
