My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected. The audio output is also affected. You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside. So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer. It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one. You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again. If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
Does this make any sense?
You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
**** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
Hope this helps.

Ipod is disabled connect to iTunes requires passcode which is not known

Ipod is disabled, says connect to iTunes. When connected to iTunes, iTunes requires passcode entered. Stuck in loop

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Multiple iPod shuffles to connect to the same computer

Is there any special instructions to have two iPods that my family would want to connect to the same computer?
Each family member has our own playlist and we'd like to update our own iPod shuffles with our own playlists. The first iPod shuffle we bought works fine, but I'm having trouble getting the second iPod to be recognized.
thanks in advance for your help

Marc,
I have two iPod Shuffles supported by a single Dell Desktop running Windows XP/SP2. I'll relate my experience and hope that helps you. My first Shuffle was a 512Mbyte. I installed the iTunes software from the CD that came with the Shuffle, and then plugged the Shuffle into the USB port at the bottom front of the Dell. It was recognized by Windows and by iTunes and I was directed to register the Shuffle with Apple. I named the Shuffle and that name appears in the iTunes Source List. Then I acquired a 1Gbyte Shuffle for my wife. I DID NOT re-install iTunes from the new CD (although I made sure that the existing iTunes was the latest version 4.7.1). Now with iTunes open, I plugged my wife's Shuffle into the same USB port as I use for my Shuffle. Once again, the new shuffle was recognized by both Windows and iTunes and, once again, I was asked to register the second Shuffle and give it a name (of course, different from the other Shuffle). Now both Shuffles appear in the Source List. I only plug one Shuffle in at a time, and the Shuffle that's plugged-in has a little "up-arrow" appear to the right of its name in the Source List. I am the administrator and only user of the Dell, so there's no "partitioning" problems that might screw up the support of multiple Shuffles -- your family members may have separate accounts on your computer, but I'd suggest that only one (and always the same) user logon to access iTunes and the Shuffles.
Good luck.
Roger

Ipod Shuffle will only play one song

Brand new shuffle 4th Gen. Will only play one song over and over. even when i press next it starts the same song again.
I have got more then one song, tried restoring, i feel like ive tried everything... any ideas ?

So you are taping the album cover of the song that is currently playing from the Now Playing screen correct? Not the album cover in the list of albums or songs or anywhere else.
And you are positive you are only tapping it 1 time. The screen can be pretty sensitive so just be aware that it only takes a light tap.

Artwork in ITunes in computer but some not on iPod

I have all of my artwork loaded into my iTunes on the computer. It all shows up when I am in iTunes on the computer, but there are a select few (out of over 1000) CDs that do not show artwork on the iPod. I have re-synced hoping it would fix. I have alos put in new artwork, and the issue still will not resolve. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Kevin

I had the exact same problem. It ***** when you have 10,000+ tunes...
Even though the album art shows in iTunes, it doesn't mean it will show in the iPod. The easiest way to figure out which ones which need attention is to go into your iPod (go into album cover browse) or in iTunes (display the album and sort by song). You can write down the albums that need to be fixed and then follow the directions below for adding the artwork or if in iTunes fix 'em as you find 'em.
Right-click on the tracks missing the artwork and choose Show In Windows Explorer. Then right-click the track again and choose Get Info. Drag and drop the folder.jpg file from the other window into the artwork square and click on OK.
This is the only sure way I have found to get the artwork to display reliably in my iPod.

My iPod shuffle could be seen on iTunes, but it cannot be charged and don't play music. The battery light do not flash at all.

Like what I mentioned, the iPod do not work, it won't play music and the battery light do not flash.
But it shows in iTunes, and I could sync music into it.
I tried to reset all the settings of the iPod, and installed all the new software, but it does not work.
I don't know if it works before, my friend left it to me. I erased all the data she used before and syncronized all my music inside.
But it just never worked in my hand...
I really appreciate all feedbacks! Thanks and please answer this question if you have the similar situation!!

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with the iPod? There are separate contact points for power and data, so it is possible for the cable to connect for data, but not for power. Some third-party replacement cables may be of lower quality, if you do not have the original cable
However, it seems to be getting power, since the shuffle is operating when connected and you are able to sync when it is connected. So I think your USB docking cable is working.
That leaves a problem with the USB port or a problem on the shuffle.
For the USB port, it may not be supplying sufficient power to charge the battery. As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the Mac is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Any difference...?
If that does not help, it may be a problem with the shuffle, such as a worn out battery.

IPOD Shuffle doesn't work on home computer but is fine at my work machine.

I have a 1st GEN shuffle and set it up on my computer at home. Everything worked fine. One day, I took it into work and started using/charging it there. Now, when I plug it into my home computer, I get an error message indicating that my "shuffle may be corrupt"? I've tried to restore it at home but that doesn't seem to work. Even with the iTUNES and software updates. When I restroed it on my work machine, everything went fine. My shuffle now seems to have it's heart attached to my work machine and doesn't want anything to do with my home one. Am I totally screwed now? I bought it 11.20.2005 and I was kinda hoping for a longer life than this. Any ideas?

Your posting was the first of the hundreds that I read that was almost exactly like mine (even the date I received my shuffle).
How did you get Apple to replace? I really liked it when it worked - not looking to replace it at all!
Thanks for posting - really helped!!

HT1386 My I phone used to play music that I had downloaded from Cds to my computer, but since the last update,my phone only plays songs that I bought on itunes. It still shows I have all my old music but won't play any of it. What's going on?

Ok, so I synched my iphone 4 to my computer recently and now when I go to play music on my phone, only the songs I've bought on Itunes play. I put all of my music collection that is in CD form on my computer and it used to play on my phone too, but now it just skips those songs. They still play on my computer though. I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for over three days or so and am about to loose my friggin mind! Can anyone help me?

De-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs
