iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation: Volume very low from shuffle. Used to be fine...

Tue, 14 May 2019 05:49:51 -0700

Hello, refound my shuffle after about a year and charged it up, plugged in the headphone and now I can't increase volume, I can barely hear the music.

Never had a problem before so thought fault lay with the headphones, bought a new pair and issue still there.

Any ideas…..?

iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation: iPod Keep on asking for restore when connected to PC.

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 20:48:08 -0700

Hi,

I have one iPod shuffle 3rd generation 2GB variant. When i connect my iPod to PC, it is asking for restore. It is giving error " iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". Then i tried to restore it to factory settings. It is showing restore done. But after restore also it is giving the same error. I am not able to sync music with my iPod.

iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation: Trouble Finding iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation Logic Boards

Tue, 12 May 2015 14:03:01 -0700

I may need to replace the logic board on my iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen; however, I can't seem to find replacement parts anywhere online (iFixit, eBay, Amazon). Does anyone have a suggestion? Feel like fixing this and giving it to someone I know needs it.

iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation: How do I fix my earphones?

Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:30:50 -0700

My earphones don't work sometimes. When I turn it on, the small light near the earphone jack turns green and then orange. When it does that, the earphones don't work. When I turn it on and the green light only turns green then that is when the earphones function well.

iPod shuffle 3rd Generation: How does this tiny piece fit back into the control switch?

Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:42:48 -0700

Not knowing the play/pause/volume control was part of the earphone wiring and therefore not noticing that it was stuck to the packaging tape, the control's casing came apart when I took the tape off the packaging. A tiny strip of metal fell out and it seems to control the volume. (I was able to easily snap the 2 halves of the casing back together and the center button that forwards, etc still works)The very thin strip of metal is a little less in length than the inside of the control and about half the width, with one piece of metal about 1/16" square on each long side bent at a 90% angle. I suspect it fits inside the control switch somehow. Can I fix it myself? Is there a picture available of the inside of this switch?
