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.

Hi Teresa! First off to clarify this is the 16gb version but the iPod is Bluetooth compatible so I don't think you'd have an issue syncing it up with it. Thanks! Matt

I never used to sync on my computer, I only try to use in my car but it doesnt charge and doesnt sync my ipod to control it with the radio and wheel control

It does work with the 4th generation Shuffle, but the Shuffle does not fit on the docking station. I had a stereo/headphone type adapter around the house and it easily connected it and the sound quality was fine. However, because it doesn't fit on the docking station it also does not charge the Shuffle, which was a big reason that I chose this particular speaker. It also does not come with an adapter, we just happened to have one. Right now I am searching for an adapter that will make the charge feature work, but I am not even sure that exists.

It should work with the shuffle. I have an older version of that particular IPOD and it works fine with it.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

The merchandise is only compatible with the Shuffle 2nd generation. The charger may fit newer generations of the Apple Shuffle, but it will not be able to charge or sync.

Yep. They still support everything, but the dock only works with the older iPod/iPhone connectors.

There isn't a dock or usb for the ipod, but I assume if you bluetooth or connect it with a stereo cable it should be fine. I personally don't use an ipod for this. Hope I was of some help.

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

I'm using both USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices without an issue. iPad 2, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 5G, Samsung Galaxy, WD My Passport, Avid MBox, all working fine.

There is a USB connection not an Apple connection. I haven't tried hooking my IPod up to it. It does pretty much everything else.

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.

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

Yes, you can use an iPod shuffle using a double-ended headphone cord, plugged into the Audio In port. The shuffle does not have the wide end to mount it on the front of the unit like a standard iPod nano or iPhone.
