Note: Don’t connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard for charging.  
The first time you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, iTunes helps you set up iPod shuffle  
and sync it with your iTunes library. By default, iTunes automatically syncs songs on iPod shuffle  
when you connect it to your computer. You can sync songs while your battery is charging.  
If you connect iPod shuffle to a different computer and iPod shuffle is set to sync music  
automatically, iTunes prompts you before syncing any music. If you click Yes, the songs and  
other audio files already on iPod shuffle are erased and replaced with songs and other audio  
files from the new computer iPod shuffle is connected to. For information about adding music  
to iPod shuffle or using iPod shuffle with more than one computer, see Chapter 4, Listening to  
Music, on page 17.  
Disconnecting iPod shuffle

or when iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk. It’s OK to disconnect iPod shuffle if the  
status light isn’t blinking orange, or if you see theOK to disconnectmessage at the top of the  
iTunes window.  
Important: If you see theDo not disconnectmessage in iTunes or if the status light on  
iPod shuffle is blinking orange, you must first eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. Failing  
to do so may damage files on iPod shuffle and require you to restore iPod shuffle in iTunes. For  
information about restoring, see Updating and restoring iPod shuffle software on page 26.

About the iPod shuffle battery  
iPod shuffle has a rechargeable internal battery that should be replaced only by an Apple  
Authorized Service Provider.  
For best results, the first time you use iPod shuffle, let it fully charge for about three hours. The  
battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in about three hours. If  
iPod shuffle isn’t used for a while, the battery might need to be recharged.  
You can sync music while the battery is charging. You can disconnect and use iPod shuffle before  
it’s fully charged.  
Charging the iPod shuffle battery  
You can charge the iPod shuffle battery in two ways:  
Connect iPod shuffle to your computer  
Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.  
Charge the battery using your computer:  
m Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer using the included  
iPod shuffle USB cable. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode (some Mac  
models can charge iPod shuffle while in sleep).  
When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is solid orange. When the battery  
is fully charged, the status light is green. In iTunes, the battery icon next to the name of your  
iPod shuffle also shows the battery status. The icon displays a lightning bolt when the battery is  
charging, and a plug when the battery is fully charged.  
If iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk or is syncing with iTunes, the status light blinks  
orange to let you know that you must eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. In this case, your  
battery may either be still charging or fully charged.  
If you don’t see the status light, iPod shuffle might not be connected to a high-power USB 2.0  
port. Try another USB 2.0 port on your computer.  
If you want to charge the battery when you’re away from your computer, you can connect  
iPod shuffle to an Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately. To purchase iPod shuffle  
accessories, go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.  
Charge the battery using the Apple USB Power Adapter:  
1 Connect the included iPod shuffle USB cable to the power adapter, and plug the other end into  
iPod shuffle.  
2 Plug the power adapter into a working power outlet.

Use iTunes on your computer to set up iPod shuffle to play music  
and other audio content. Then connect iPod shuffle to your  
computer and sync it to your iTunes library.  
Read on to learn more about getting started with iPod shuffle, including:  
Getting music from your CD collection, hard disk, or the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and  
available in some countries only) into the iTunes application on your computer  
Organizing your music and other audio into playlists  
Syncing songs, audiobooks, audio podcasts, and iTunes U collections in your iTunes library  
with iPod shuffle  
Listening to music or other audio on the go  
About iTunes  
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content  
on iPod shuffle. iTunes can sync music, audiobooks, and audio podcasts with iPod shuffle. If you  
haven’t already installed iTunes 10.7 or later (required for iPod shuffle) on your computer, you can  
download it at www.itunes.com/download.  
After you install iTunes, it opens automatically when you connect iPod shuffle to your computer.  
You can use iTunes to import music from CDs and the Internet, buy songs and other audio  
from the iTunes Store, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists), sync  
iPod shuffle, and adjust iPod shuffle settings.  
iTunes also has a feature called Genius, which creates instant playlists and mixes of songs from  
your iTunes library that go great together. You can sync Genius mixes and playlists from iTunes  
to iPod shuffle. To use Genius, you need an iTunes account. To learn how to set up Genius, see  
iTunes has many other features. You can burn your own CDs that play in standard CD players (if  
your computer has a recordable CD drive); listen to streaming Internet radio; watch videos and  
TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more. For information about using  
these features, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.  
If you already have iTunes 10.7 or later installed on your computer and you’ve set up your iTunes  
library, you can skip to Connecting iPod shuffle to a computer for the first time on page 11.

Setting up your iTunes library  
To listen to music on iPod shuffle, you first need to get that music into your iTunes library on  
your computer.  
There are three ways to get music and other audio into your iTunes library:  
Purchase music and audiobooks or download podcasts online from the iTunes Store.  
Import music and other audio from audio CDs.  
Add music and other audio that’s already on your computer to your iTunes library.  
Purchasing songs and downloading podcasts using the iTunes Store  
If you have an Internet connection, you can easily purchase and download songs, albums, and  
audiobooks online using the iTunes Store (available in selected countries). You can also subscribe  
to and download audio podcasts, and you can download free educational content from iTunes U.  
Video podcasts can’t be synced to iPod shuffle.  
To purchase music online using the iTunes Store, you set up a free iTunes account in iTunes, find  
the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an iTunes account, you can use that  
account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy songs.  
You don’t need an iTunes Store account to play or download podcasts or iTunes U classes.  
To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left side of the  
iTunes window.  
Adding songs already on your computer to your iTunes library  
If you have songs on your computer encoded in file formats that iTunes supports, you can easily  
add the songs to iTunes. To learn how to get songs from your computer into iTunes, open iTunes  
and choose Help > iTunes Help.  
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3 format. This  
can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format. For more information, open  
iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.  
Importing music from your audio CDs into iTunes  
iTunes can import music and other audio from your audio CDs. If you have an Internet  
connection, iTunes gets the names of the songs on the CD from the Internet (if available) and  
lists them in the window. When you add the songs to iPod shuffle, the song information is  
included. To learn how to import music from your CDs into iTunes, open iTunes and choose  
Help > iTunes Help.  
Entering song names and other information  
If you don’t have an Internet connection, if song information isn’t available for music you  
import, or if you want to include additional information (such as composer names), you can  
enter the information manually. To learn how to enter song information, open iTunes and  
choose Help > iTunes Help.  
Chapter 3 Setting up iPod shuffle

Organizing your music  
In iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists, called playlists, in any way you want.  
For example, you can create playlists with songs to listen to while exercising, or playlists with  
songs for a particular mood.  
You can also create Smart Playlists that update automatically based on rules you define. When  
you add songs to iTunes that match the rules, they automatically get added to the Smart Playlist.  
You can turn on Genius in iTunes and create playlists of songs that go great together, based  
on a song you select. Genius can also organize your iTunes library automatically by sorting and  
grouping songs into collections called Genius Mixes.  
You can create as many playlists as you like, using any of the songs in your iTunes library. You  
can’t create a playlist on iPod shuffle when it’s disconnected from iTunes. Adding a song to a  
playlist or later removing it doesn’t remove it from your iTunes library.  
When you listen to playlists on iPod shuffle, all playlists created in iTunes behave the same way.  
You can choose them by name on your iPod shuffle.  
To learn how to set up playlists in iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.  
Using Genius in iTunes  
Genius finds songs in your iTunes library that go great together and uses them to create Genius  
playlists and Genius Mixes. Genius is a free service, but you need an iTunes Store account to use  
it. If you don’t have an account, you can set one up when you turn on Genius.  
A Genius playlist is based on a song that you select. iTunes then compiles a Genius playlist of  
songs that go great with the one you selected.  
Genius Mixes are preselected compilations of songs that go great together. They’re created for  
you by iTunes, using songs from your iTunes library. Each Genius Mix is designed to provide a  
different listening experience each time you play it. iTunes creates up to 12 Genius Mixes, based  
on the variety of music in your iTunes library.  
To create Genius playlists and Genius Mixes, you first need to turn on Genius in iTunes. For  
information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.  
Genius playlists and Genius Mixes created in iTunes can be synced to iPod shuffle like any other  
iTunes playlist. You can’t add Genius Mixes to iPod shuffle manually.  
Connecting iPod shuffle to a computer for the first time  
The first time you connect iPod shuffle to your computer after installing iTunes, iTunes opens and  
the Setup Assistant appears. If iTunes doesn’t open automatically, open it yourself.  
Use the iPod shuffle Setup Assistant:  
1 Enter a name for iPod shuffle. This name will appear in the device list in the iTunes window.  
2 Select your settings.  
Automatic syncing is selected by default. If you keep this option selected and Genius is turned  
on, iTunes syncs Genius Mixes from your iTunes library to iPod shuffle. If Genius isn’t turned on,  
iTunes fills iPod shuffle with songs from your iTunes library and places them in theAll Songs”  
playlist. For more information about automatic and manual syncing, see the next section.  
Chapter 3 Setting up iPod shuffle

VoiceOver is also selected by default. Keep this option selected to hear track titles and artist  
names, change your playlists, and hear battery status while you listen to iPod shuffle. For more  
information, see Using VoiceOver on page 18.  
3 Click Done.  
You can change the device name and settings any time you connect iPod shuffle to  
your computer.  
After you click Done, the Summary pane appears. If you selected automatic syncing, iPod shuffle  
begins syncing.  
Adding music to iPod shuffle  
After your music is imported and organized in iTunes, you can easily add it to iPod shuffle.  
To manage how songs and other audio content are added to iPod shuffle from your computer,  
you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, and then use iTunes preferences to choose  
iPod shuffle settings.  
Adding content automatically or manually  
You can set iTunes to add music to iPod shuffle in two ways:  
Automatically syncing: When you connect iPod shuffle to your computer, iPod shuffle is  
automatically updated to match the songs and other items in your iTunes library. If Genius  
is turned on the first time you sync iPod shuffle, iTunes uses up to four Genius Mixes created  
from your iTunes library to fill iPod shuffle. If any free space remains, iTunes syncs additional  
songs from your iTunes library. If Genius isn’t turned on, iTunes syncs songs and playlists from  
your iTunes library to fill iPod shuffle.  
Later, you can modify automatic syncing options to include selected playlists, artists, albums,  
and genres. You can also automatically sync other audio, including podcasts, audiobooks, and  
iTunes U collections. See the following sections for more information.  
Manually managing music: When you connect iPod shuffle, you can drag individual songs  
and playlists to iPod shuffle, and delete individual songs and playlists from iPod shuffle. Using  
this option, you can add songs from more than one computer without erasing songs from  
iPod shuffle. When you manage music manually, you must always eject iPod shuffle from  
iTunes before you disconnect it. See Managing iPod shuffle manually on page 15.  
Syncing music automatically  
By default, iPod shuffle is set to sync all songs and playlists when you connect it to your  
computer. This is the simplest way to add audio content to iPod shuffle—you just connect  
iPod shuffle to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, audio podcasts, and iTunes U  
collections automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any songs to iTunes since  
the last time you connected iPod shuffle, they’re synced with iPod shuffle as space allows. If you  
deleted songs from iTunes, they’re removed from iPod shuffle.

Sync music with iPod shuffle:  
m Simply connect iPod shuffle to your computer. If iPod shuffle is set to sync automatically, the  
update begins.  
Important: If you connect iPod shuffle to a computer that it hasn’t synced with, a message asks if  
you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs and other audio content are erased  
from iPod shuffle and replaced with songs and other items from that computer. If you don’t  
accept, you can still add songs to iPod shuffle manually without erasing any of the songs already  
on iPod shuffle.  
While music is being synced from your computer to iPod shuffle, the iTunes status window  
shows progress, and you see a sync icon next to iPod shuffle in the list of devices. When the  
update is done, you see theiPod sync is completemessage in iTunes. A bar at the bottom of the  
iTunes window displays how much disk space is used by different types of content.

following audio file formats are supported by iPod shuffle. These include formats for audiobooks  
and podcasts:  
AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (8 to 320 kbps)  
Protected AAC (from the iTunes Store)  
Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)

Safety and Handling  
7
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other  
injuries, or damage to iPod shuffle or other property. Read all safety information below before  
using iPod shuffle.  
Keep the iPod shuffle User Guide handy for future reference.  
Important safety information  
Handling Handle iPod shuffle with care. It has sensitive electronic components. iPod shuffle  
can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid.  
Don’t use a damaged iPod shuffle.  
Repairing Don’t open iPod shuffle and don’t attempt to repair iPod shuffle by yourself.  
Disassembling iPod shuffle may cause injury to you or damage to iPod shuffle. If iPod shuffle  
is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple  
Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about obtaining service at  
Battery Don’t attempt to replace the battery in iPod shuffle yourself as you may damage the  
battery, which may cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in the iPod shuffle  
should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled  
or disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information  
about battery recycling and replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries.  
Distraction Using iPod shuffle in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a  
dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of headphones (for example  
using headphones while riding a bicycle).  
Charging Charge iPod shuffle with the included cable and optional power adapter or other  
third-party Made for iPod cable and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0. Using  
damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock.  
When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter (available separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore)  
to charge iPod shuffle, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the  
adapter before you plug it into a power outlet. Power adapters may become warm during  
normal use, and prolonged contact may cause injury. Always allow adequate ventilation around  
power adapters when using.  
27  
 
 
Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. To prevent possible  
hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Background noise, as  
well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they  
actually are. The Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic sold with iPhone 4S and later in China  
(identifiable by dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards  
and are not compatible with iPod shuffle. Use only compatible earbuds or headphones with your  
device. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. For more  
information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound. For information about how to set a  
maximum volume limit on iPod shuffle, see Setting a volume limit on page 20.  
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of  
electronic devices (for example, in health care facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod shuffle  
is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency  
emissions, such emissions from iPod shuffle can negatively affect the operation of other  
electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPod shuffle when use is prohibited,  
such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.  
Medical conditions If you have medical conditions that you believe could be affected by  
iPod shuffle (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your  
physician prior to using iPod shuffle.  
Important handling information  
Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive  
pressure to a button because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If  
the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for  
obstructions, then make sure that the connector matches the port and that the connector is  
positioned correctly in relation to the port.  
Operating iPod shuffle in acceptable temperatures iPod shuffle is designed to work in  
temperatures between 0º and 35º C (32º and 95º F) and stored in temperatures between -20º  
and 45º C (-4º and 113º F). iPod shuffle can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or  
operated outside of this temperature range (for example, if left in a hot car). iPod shuffle will  
shut down if it gets too hot. Avoid exposing iPod shuffle to dramatic changes in temperature or  
humidity. When you’re using iPod shuffle or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod shuffle to  
get warm.  
Keeping the outside of iPod shuffle clean To clean iPod shuffle, unplug all cables, turn it off  
(slide the three-way switch to OFF), and use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting  
moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents,  
alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod shuffle.  
Disposing of iPod shuffle properly For information about the proper disposal of iPod shuffle,  
including other important regulatory compliance information, see Disposal and Recycling  
Information on page 31.
