USB 2.0 only? Is the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle only able to sync to the computer via a USB 2.0 dock?

When I bought the shuffle I didn't notice the whole USB 2.0 thing, till I got it home, connected it to my USB port and tried to transfer a song. I kept getting errors saying that the device could not be written to. I went and bought a USB 2.0 card with 5 ports for $32, installed it and everything worked fine from then on. Other people have told me that it should work with USB 1.0, just slower...but I didn't find that to be the case.

I don't have my shuffle yet, but the nano also says that it requires usb 2.0 and it worked fine with usb 1.1, so I imagine the shuffle also.

Try to update your computer to USB 2.0 if you can. iPods transfer music files at 60MB per second, but can only transfer at 1.5MB per second if you don't have USB 2.0.

I had trouble with my Shuffle on my laptop with USB 2.0, so I tried my Desktop PC with USB 1.x and could not get any recognition of the device. Just an FYI.It worked fine on another computer with USB 2.0.

I was having some "issues" with mine, nothing serious. Just occasionally disconnecting and then reconnecting. Checked which USB I had mine in, and it was in my USB1. Changed it to a 2.0; and haven't had a problem since then. So, in my experience, it worked with USB1; but was a little "funky" from time to time.

Hey what's up! The actual dock is not lightning compatible....it does however come with a aux cable so you can hook it up with that

Matheus Weber, You were almost correct. Apple did not release a new iPod Shuffle in 2011, but they released the iPod Nano Sixth Generation as a type of replacement. The reason that most of the comments are dated back to 2010 is because that was the year the newest model of the iPod Shuffle (Fourth Generation) was released.Godspeed!~SWWPD

I have two 5th gen shuffles and it doesn't work with either one..... don't purchase!

If you go by others' reviews of this product on Amazon, even though it claims to be compatible with all ipods, it will not, in fact, charge the 2nd gen Touch or the 4th gen Nano. So it will still play the music but it won't charge it. A dealbreaker in my opinion but it still might be worth it for some.

Connect it to the computer. Check more info in the iPod manual at http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf

I own the ipod touch 2nd gen and can confirm that this plays music through the dock, charges and works with all the alarm apps that I have tried. Just a side note, you get buzzing interference with the wifi on, this is fixed by turning the airplane mode on when docked.

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

The one I have is a couple of years old and does not include an adapter that allows me to play anything with the new smaller cord...like the Iphone 5. (Not sure if the 5 was out yet.) I did just purchase an adapter that should allow me to play these things but I have not yet tested it. If your Ipod uses the new cord and has the smaller docking port, be sure you confirm if Pyle has upgraded their technology.

Yes, there is also an input with an optional dock called DMPort. I plug in my iPods to it to play music & charge as well. The older model, anyway...

My iPod shuffle is no longer working. I contacted the manufacturer but to no avail. I wouldn't spend $ on another!

My ilive has an ipod docking station. I don't think it's the same. Try remit123b.

Sorry, Zikar, I don't know. I don't use my Shuffle any more because it is inferior to other iPods.

I haven't connected an iPod up to it yet. It can be fully functional with any USB drive or other MP3 player though.

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have thenew lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

There is no USB input, but you can connect and iPod using the Yamaha iPhone/iPod dock YDS-12 (note: not iPhone 5). There is bluetooth but it must be paired with the Yamaha YBA-10 bluetooth wireless audio receiver, which can then pair with your iPhone/iPad or other bluetooth devices.

Are you starting the music playing BEFORE you put the ipod on the dock ? I have an ipod touch gen 2 that plays on the Altec im 600 with the dock adapter that came with the touch 2 , I get a messege on the touch screen saying the device won't charge on the im600 put will play... I ordered a im600usb from Amazon but the box said im600 and I returned it as wrong item. I'm waiting for Amazon to send the im600usb when they get it in stock.
