Your iPod shuffle does not need to be turned on when charging. Use these steps to charge your iPod shuffle:
For iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation)
To charge the battery using your computer:
iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) comes with a (45 mm) USB connector cable. A longer cable (1 m) is available from the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Resellers.
- Connect the iPod shuffle USB cable connector into a high-power USB port on your computer.
Note: To charge an iPod shuffle battery, connect the device to a high-power USB port. Please be aware that USB keyboards and non-powered USB hubs generally do not have high-power USB ports. If you connect to a low or non-powered port, iPod shuffle will not charge. - The computer must be turned on and set to not go to sleep.
- Plug the other end of the iPod shuffle USB Cable into the headphone port on the iPod shuffle.
- Verify the iPod shuffle is connected securely.
Once the iPod shuffle is plugged in, it will take about 2 hours to charge the battery to 80% capacity and about 3 hours to charge it to 100%. Find out how to check the battery charge here. For information on status lights while connected, click here.
Note: The computer must be turned on and set to not go to sleep or hibernate.
To charge the battery using an iPod USB Power Adapter:
- Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected).
- Plug the USB connector of the iPod shuffle USB Cable into the power adapter.
- Plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet.
- Connect the iPod shuffle to the iPod shuffle USB Cable.
- Verify the iPod shuffle is connected securely.
