Shuffle dead!

[Hondamaker]

My 2nd gen shuffle one day decided to stop working--no charging, no powering up, and no getting recognized by my pc and mac. Apple forums yield no help, so------anyone?

Tried resetting it? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655

If that doesn't work, they're pretty much disposable so you may just want to get another one.

Jack-did you use it when you worked out? Maybe sweat got in there and fried it. When I got my 2nd Gen shuffle, I posted that I got it to use at the gym. (Someone here warned me about that, so I clip it to the bottom of my gym top instead of the top where the sweat can leak in there).

Dcom and Jack-My husband actually got a 2nd gen shuffle instead of a new gym case for his nano when the price went down to $49. (Case $30, shuffle, $49). He figured the shuffle would last longer than the case he uses at the gym.

I use mine at the gym all the time, but I don't clip it to my clothes. I just put it on whatever machine I'm using.

Why not clip it? How about when you lift weights?

I don't lift weights to music

I don't lift weights to music

Hard core, huh?

I like slower music to lift weights so I do not do the exercises too fast.

No, I just don't lift

My wife and I are doing cardio now. Lifting may come later.

My wife used it when she ran, so I'm sure it got sweat in it. Prolly just get a new one.

I wear mine all the time when I run. Guess I'd never thought about sweat being an issue (given that it has a little clip and all, that's kinda what it's *for*). Anyway, I guess I'll quit clipping it to my sports bra and find somewhere a little drier.. guess that also means that when my shuffle battery dies I probably shouldn't be tucking my 80gig classic into the back of my waistband either.
