The VoiceOver may not identify the names of the song names or playlist on iPod shuffle 3G, according to Apple. Instead of recognize the names of the songs or playlist it may represent like “playlist 1″ or “audiobook 1″.  However, the possible solutions are available and we will discuss it below.

First and most reasonable solution for this matter is enabling the VoiceOver interface. If your VoiceOver is disabled then you will hear the default playlist as “playlist” or “audiobook” on your third-gen iPod shuffle. Actually, this is a standard performance for iPod shuffle 3G.

Another reason for such behavior is device might contain too much contact. If the memory of your iPod shuffle 3G is all most full then such problem may occur. The solution for such matter is to remove some songs podcasts from your device and then reinstalling the VoiceOver files by using the guide below,

• Select the iPod shuffle in the list of device from iTunes and click the tab.
• Deselect Enable VoiceOver from Voice feedback.
• Click Apply.
• Select Enable VoiceOver.
• Click Apply.

Finally, your iPod Shuffle 3G devices possibly have been disconnect from the computer before it generate the VoiceOver files and sync them over to the iPod. Apple say’s, this issue can take place if iTunes is enabled to “Manually Managed Music” for your iPod Shuffle. To prevent from happening this problem, you can simply reinstall the VoiceOver files to iPod Shuffle and keep it connected so it can complete sync. “iPod sync is complete. OK to disconnect” will appear to your screen when it finishes sync from iYunes.

It would place calls over a Wi-Fi connection. One of these devices may be introduced as early as this summer.

Lowell McAdam, the CEO of Verizon Wireless confirms that Verzion had been in discussion with Apple. But he doesn’t reveal anything details.

Rumors have spread that the iPhone Lite will less small and less thin than the present iPhone 3G. It also would be less pricey than iPhone 3G, and be intended mainly for calls rather than filled the smart-modern phone functionality. Meanwhile, an early guess was that the company intended to a touch-screen Netbook, but at present, it looks as it could be planned for the Media Pad.
