USB Hotsync & Charging Dock Cradle desktop Charger for Apple IPOD Shuffle 2nd Generation MP3 Player

I have not been able to sue my iPod Shuffle Gen 2 in at least 10 years. I drove myself crazy looking for the charger that must have been thrown-out at some point. I bought this charger knowing I could return it if it didn’t work - I had nothing to lose.It arrived this afternoon and I immediately plugged my iPod Shuffle in. The light was red - I stepped away, cooked dinner, ate, did the dishes and then remembered that I had this charging. The red light had turned to green, indicating charged. I dug up some old headphones and IT WORKS!!!!I have been listening to all of my old music for the last 2 hours. When I get to a song I know my teenagers will appreciate, I have them come over and share my EarPods. I really did not remember what songs I loaded on here and its bringing back a lot of memories & such a Random Mix - Green Day, 30 Seconds To Mars, Nelly Furtado, Lenny Kravitz, Jack Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Feist, Slaughter, Jewel, 311, Weezer, Counting Crows, the BeeGees, Justin Timberlake, Live, Dixie Chicks, Janet Jackson, Semisonic, Goo Goo Dolls, Kate Nash, Dr. Dre, Dashboard Confessional, Blink182, Fleetwood Mac, and Lots of 80s Classics.Thank you!! I am so HAPPY!!

Yes, I still cling to my primitive 2nd generation iPod shuffle. Why not? That sucker has survived everything I can throw at it, from cross-country trips to being immersed in a hot tub to being stepped on, dropped, and (probably) attacked by my cat. So when I broke the docking port moving from L.A. to Burbank, and discovered I could no longer get the charger in Apple stores, I took a chance and bought this generic version. It looks cheap and feels cheaper, but looks can be deceiving. My ancient, battered iPod clicked right into it and immediately began charging, and there have been no communications problems between the unit and my rather cranky old version of iTunes.There's not much else to say. This is a very lightweight little port, a bit oversized perhaps, but it weighs nothing, and operates from a standard USB cord which is about 2' long. Oh, it has a kind of "wall" by the charging spike so that if you step on it the chances of bending the spike and ruining the unit (which is what happened to my old one) are somewhat reduced. So that's that. It was cheap, it works perfectly, arrived fast and in the promised condition...I'm happy.

!st let me say I am no electronics or even an apple newbie, I have been around/repairing electronics since win dos and apple/mac's start so I know I ordered the dock the seller shows for my daughters Ipod. With that said I have several issues: 1. the Ipod does not sit as they show it there is no way it can the Apple IPOD Shuffle 2nd Generation connects and charges from the headphone jack on this model Ipod and that jack is on top therefore it sits in the cradle upside down and no top controls i.e. power etc are usable while in the cradle. 2 The cradle has a small lip what should be to hold the ipod in the correct position and not allow it to turn on the jack BUT is actually on the iPod 2 in the way therefore it has to sit at a weird angle on the cradle. BUT my major issue I would say is it doesn't work for these iPods the cradle I received will not charge or sync either of our 2 ipod shuffles both of which are 2nd gens! not worth the hassle of packing back up and returning I would lose more in time, the cost of gas in just cranking up my truck, and shipping than the cradle cost or is worth to me so I just gave the seller my money, Oh well live and learn apple only products for me now. PS. For what its worth dear Amazon when shipping n item under 13oz that may be 2" x 1" x 1" with a 12" tiny/thin cord it does NOT need a 12" X 8" padded envelope for shipping just saying!

at first my device would only blink 4 times, and shut down the charging/ but now I've plugged it into a 5mAh battery and I am getting a solid amber light showing it is charging. (so, if that happens to you/ there is something to try for you)So I was thinking my ipod might have just hit it's end of life// but no not yet. this seems to work.

I got this charger for 2 reasons, one my other one was demolished, the other cause I'm on a budget. When I first tried to dock it, it wouldn't work. Well after about an hour and a half of troublshooting I got it working. Apparently it would charge on my wall outlet adapter but not on my pc. Another words my Ipod shuffle was dead for awhile. For a second I thought I got a faulty charger but turns out I was proven wrong, for the better.My only complaint is that it does have a really tight fit. How you rip the bottom out I have no idea, cause that would require massive amounts of man handling. Other than that the charger works just dandy. If you need a new charger and wanna save maybe 10, 15 bucks, this is the way to go.

After reading a number of reviews and looking at the price I bought three different adapters for my old gen 2 nano shuffle. So far this one, which arrived the next day and another work perfectly on my old dell 755 running windows 7 32 bit, my dell optra 745 running XP and my newer HP laptop g6 running windows 7 64 bit. One thing that is a bit strange is that the files loaded on the 64 bit machine don't show on the 32 bit machines and vice versa. The files on the two 32 bit machines are totally interchangable. I don't know if this is because of the sector size difference as applied to flash but it probably is. Couldn't find an updated nano driver on the apple site either. My scan disk flash is totally interchangable between all windows systems and even an apple machine we look at sometimes. In any case, I can load & change and charge both the 32 bit folders and the 64 bit folders on their respective machines. For a couple bucks it is worth it to have more than one of these adapters. I bought 3 for the tax on the Apple replacement. Such a deal.

Does not work with Apple iPod 5th Generation. I do not recommend purchasing this item. Sure it is not expensive so not worth the cost to send it back. May be that is what they count on.I was contacted by the seller and they were very nice about the problem I had with the charger. They expressed their desire to make my purchase right. Without even asking me if I wanted my money back they informed me that they would and that they had no intent of selling me a product that was faulty. Today I received a total refund without having to ship the item back and lose more of my time doing so. As far as the company I will give them a 5 Star and the product is still questionable but I cannot believe they would return my money and take the time to respond back to me in such a positive manner if the product was faulty every time they shipped one out to a customer. It would be too costly for them to operate that way. I cannot judge the charger since I elected not to get another one so I gave it a 3 Star and as I listed in the title 5 Star for the seller.

This USB Hotsync & Charging Dock works perfectly with the iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation. It charges quickly, syncs reliably with no connection issues, and is very convenient for desktop use. Compact, sturdy, and easy to use great replacement or spare dock. Highly recommended for Shuffle owners!
