iPod Shuffle 4th Generation: How to waterproof iPod shuffle?

Thu, 02 May 2013 20:16:37 -0700

I am wondering how dificult it would be to make this mp3 player waterproof. There are several companies like Swimmman and H2O friendly that will waterproof a standard iPod shuffle for a premium. What points of failure would need to be closed? I suspect some epoxy would do the trick.

iPod Shuffle 4th Generation: I washed my Shuffle in the laundry... is there any hope?

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:46:41 -0700

Being the idiot I am, I washed my Shuffle. In the laundry machine. With detergent. While it was still on. And I didn't even notice I had washed it (as in: it was still on) until about an hour after the wash cycle ended.

I left it alone to dry for a week in the open air, but it responds to nothing. What else can I do to save my Shuffle, if saveable?

iPod Shuffle 4th Generation: Why won't my earphones go in the jack?

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:01:41 -0700

Yesterday, I could listen to my ipod without any problems. Today, while trying to plug in my earphones I could only get them in halfway. I soon realized that one of those little beads like you find in new purses, was stuck in the jack. I tried using a toothpick to get it out but it wouldn't budge. How can I ge this bead out without messing up my device?

iPod Shuffle 4th Generation: Docking charger - USB port / Stereo jack building

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 22:44:02 -0700

Hi.

I missed my ipod gen 4 shuffle's charger.

I see it has a standard audio jack and standard USB connector. I am planning to build one.

Is there a tear down guide for that?

Where can i find the pin outs for that.

Thanks
