    iPod iPod Shuffle 3 Broken (?)

    My recently purchased iPod Shuffle 3 isn't working. It takes charge, and I am able to get music onto it, but the second I eject it and unplug it, it stops working. When I try to turn it on, the status light doesn't turn on, and no sound comes out. Can someone help? Thanks!

    I went to the Buyer's Guide the other day and noticed some discrepancies between what MacRumors has posted and what actually happened. For example, the guide says the Apple Watch has been updated twice already. It actually hasn't been updated at all, which you should already know since you...
