Questions about the iPod? Get them answered here.

sort of but not really -- it's complicated. The iPod touch 5th generation has a sync/charge cord with a special plug at one end that only fits ipod5, iPadMini, and maybe also iPhone5 (not sure about that last one). Presumably newer ipods and ipads will also use this new adapter plug. Anyhow, the other end of the cord is a standard USB plug. TO CHARGE YOUR IPOD, you can use this cord to charge and sync your iPod5 directly from your regular computer (if it's a portable/laptop, be sure it's plugged into its own charger before using it to charge your iPod), or for $20 you can buy an adaptor that accepts a USB plug at one end and plugs into a normal wall outlet at the other. TO SYNC YOUR IPOD WITH ITUNES on your computer, you plug it into your computer while iTunes is open. Your iTunes ID and password need to be the same across the two machines for syncing to work, of course. Whatever you have in iTunes that you want to add to the iPod, you can do via this synchronization. You can even create stuff (music files, pdf files, etc.) on your PC or iMac or MacBook and put them into iTunes and they can then be transferred to the hard memory on your iPod. Similarly, stuff that you've downloaded directly onto the iPod over WiFi can be transferred to the computer during this sync.

BUT -- there's not a simple straightforward way to use a USB connection to transfer stuff to or from the iPod5. If you can't do the transfer via this "sync" process. then you can't do it via USB. You can bring stuff onto the iPod5 via iCloud but of course you don't need a USB port to do that.

In other words, except for this special "sync with iTunes account" process, the answer is "no." If you include this sync process, then the answer is "yes." I.e., it's complicated!

There are 3rd party heart rate monitors out there that are able to pair with an iPhone or an iPod touch via bluetooth, and display their results/data to apps downloaded through the App Store. You can search the web or even the Apple Online Store for heart rate monitors and find a number of results for wireless heart rate monitors that are compatible with the iPhone or iPod touch.

The Shuffle doesn't have the traditional 30-pin port nor the new Lightning port, so you won't be able to dock it that way. However, if the dock has an auxiliary input you can hook it up using a 3.5mm cable plugged into the headphone jack of the Shuffle. Many people use this in their cars as well if their car stereo includes a 3.5mm port but not a USB port or iPod dock.
