How do I connect iPod Shuffle to external speakers
- Asked by Walter R from Portland
- Oct 24, 2009

Best Answer
Because of the extra tier on the 3.5mm jack/hub that connects the 3rd Gen. iPod Shuffle to other appliances, to connect the iPod to anything but the specific headphones that come with or similar compatible headphones you need an adapter.
If you look under the Apple Store for iPod Nano Accessories you will find the Belkin Headphone Adapter. This will allow you to harvest the audio signal and still maintain control over the iPod's basic operations (Pause, Play, Skip Songs, Select Playlists, Use Voice Over, etc.).
Once you have isolated the audio signal from the control functions of the iPod it is simply a manner of running a 3.5mm cable through whatever jack size adapters are necessary and into an amplifier with the necessary amplification requirements to reach the OHM level your' external speakers need to distribute your' audio signal.

Best Answer
Found this on the apple web site: It is not compatible.
"These cables are compatible with the iPod shuffle (3rd generation) only and are required to charge or sync the iPod shuffle (3rd generation). The iPod shuffle Dock, which came with the iPod shuffle (2nd generation), and all third-party chargers sold as compatible with the iPod shuffle (2nd generation) are incompatible with the iPod shuffle (3rd generation) and should not be used."- Answered by Virgil P from Vidalia

Answer
There is no 5th Generation Shuffle as of today. The latest one but the big button in the middle is the 4th Generation realesed in September 2010. The 2nd Generation Shuffle cables & docks only work with the 2nd Gen. The 3rd Gen & 4th Gen Shuffles use the exact same cables.

3rd generation iTouch charging vs. 1st/2nd gen
I'm looking to buy a set of portable (boombox) speakers to work with my 3rd Gen iTouch. MANY of the speakers say they support generations 1 and 2... but fail to mention if they support Gen 3. Is this b/c the design is just that old (i.e. when they were designed and first sold, those were the only 2 generations of iTouch available)? Or, is there an incompatibility b/w Generations 2 and 3 (or 4)? If it helps, I'm looking at (among others) the inMotion Kick and M402SR by Altec Lansing
On a related note, if it says Universal iPod dock for iPod... does that mean it will work with all gen's of iTouch?- Asked by Doug G from Marion

How I can charge my MacBook or iPod Touch on the airplane?
What kind of cable do I need to connect my iPod Touch to airplane armrest?
- Asked by Vera A from Elliot Lake
- Jan 27, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
There is an option for the MacBook's which is called the 'Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter'. For the iPod touch, I am not so sure. Bear in mind though that the majority of aircraft power ports use 15 volts DC, so make sure that the power system you use has the ability to step down the voltage for your iPod - to avoid unnecessary damage to the internal components.
