I have a Ipod shuffle that I received as a gift. I need a transfer cable but I am unsure what generation it is. Can I tell by the shape?

Hi Trudy! You can identify iPod Shuffle models by both the shape and the on board features:1st Gen - White, made out of plastic. Control pad on board. USB connector built in. No transfer cable is needed with this model. 2nd Gen - Rectangular. Made out of metal. Control pad is on board. Comes in a variety of colors. 3rd Gen - Elongated rectangle. Made out of metal. No controls (other than the on/off/shuffle switch). Multiple colors available. 4th Gen - Square. Made out of metal. Control pad on board. Multiple colors available.

I found a nice chart online. Scroll down a bit for the Shuffle. Cheers!http://www.crutchfield.com/S-8HShN7grBQ8/learn/learningcenter/MP3/iPodgenchart.html

I am not sure. It didn't work for my Shuffle but I think mine is second generation

I have the 4th generation ipod shuffle and it fit on the charger but the ipod didn't charge. Not sure if it's because it isn't compatible or the charger is bad. I'm going to buy just the cord.

I have the 160GB iPod Classic. The cable arrived today and, unfortunately, does not work.

It looks like the cable should work. I have the 16 Gb version and it charges the Walkman properly, sometimes it doesn't play nice transferring data. Never have a problem with my old original, so its not the players fault. So it charges fine, music transfer ... not so much. Just my experience, perhaps I got an oddball cable?

I do not know the connector of Ipod nano Generation 7, but you can always use a cable and connect it to the USB port. That's what I do with my old iphone which now only plays pandora. I find to be more easy to hand the ipod connected to a cable than using the docking station.

I have an old style iPod Classic with the big white dial on the front. I'm not sure of the "generation". It has the larger "hook up" on the bottom. It works perfectly in this clock.

Although I can not identify the generation of my iPod I bought it in August, I understand that is from 7 generation and everything works perfect. And each cover fits the ipod.

I bought it to charge my daughters iPod 4th gen. And bought the adapter to convert it to 5th gen. So if the shuffle has the same plug in as 4th gen. iPod it will work

We bought the iPod shuffle 2 GB for the twins for x-mas and the monsters work great, they are made of rubber so they can strength if needed but they fit perfect for the ours. I don't know if the ones we got are new generation hope I helped.

It will work as an audio extension cable (some Apple products also allow data transfer through the headphone port, notably the iPod Shuffles, and this does not have the proper fourth connector for that).

My kids Ipods were from our older kids so I had to find out what generation they were as well to see if they would fit. I found this link on apple website that helped me determine which generation I had. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353

They are made for the particular model of ipod. I don't think the shuffle will fit properly.
