New iPod shuffle is not detected by my pc or itunes.

This is my first iPod product so I'm not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Version 6.1/ serv. pack 1.  and iTunes 10, version 10.4.0.80 . If I'm up to date, and I think I am, could it be a faulty cord? I'd appreciate the help...thank-you!
Also....I tried the shuffle on my laptop and it isn't being detected on it either.

For those of you checking this because you're having the same problem with your 3rd or 4th generation shuffle I may have found  the answer. After days of searching,  I came across a photo of the shuffle showing the right and wrong cord insertion. My cord when inserted into the shuffle still had about a quarter of an inch of the stem showing. You need to firmly push till you hear a snap and it will seat itself in the hole leaving nothing between it and the shuffle. Right away I got a recognition from my PC. So simple...hope it works for you too!

  • Ipod shuffle is not detecting in both windows  and itunes,  its not charging as well

    Suddently my IPOD stopped  detecting in my PC, i have tried in another laptop with windows XP as  well, but still it just blinks 3 times and goes off. Hence i am unable to  charge or upload the songs into  the ipod shuffle. It was working until 2 days back.
    Can anyone please suggest a solution for this problem
    I have tried  by connecting to different USB ports as well.

    Buttons are working fine, because when i switch on the ipod and plugged it in the charger, it shows first as green and then moving to orange (after 3 to 4 blinks) its goes off
    And also i tried resetting the ipod as well (as per suggested for 2nd generation)
    Today, i gave a try from my another machine \
    * i switched off the ipod
    * i plugged into the charger
    * it blinks for 3 to 4 times and then goes off. with this plugging itself, i switched on the ipod
    * i plugged out the cable from the machine and plugged it back immediately
    * This time it is getting charged
    * i allowed it to charge for 2 hours and plugged out and now i could see playing songs successfully
    But the problem the same thing is not working in my personal laptop, it is with WIn 7 (whereas the machine which is working with is WIn XP)
    Even i tried to see whether it is detecting in Itunes of my personal laptop, it is not getting detected and not getting charged also. So i uninstalled the itunes and tried again, but it still it is not getting detected in Personal laptop and not charging also.

  • Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

    I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
    Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?

  • My new iPod shuffle is not syncing to my iTunes account.

    Had an iPod nano before and just got the new iPod shuffle. I have connected it and there is no button showing up for me to sync the device. I have tried restarting my computer, downloading Itunes again and removing the shuffle and turning it off, waiting 10 secs and turning it on again and connecting it.

    Does the shuffle's light come ON at all when connect the shuffle to USB?  If there is no light, either blinking or solid, make sure the USB cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document.

  • HT1655 ipod shuffle 2gb not being recognised by PC nor iTunes

    I have bought a new iPod shuffle but iTunes and the computer do not seem to recognise it. I do not want it to sync automatically and I wonder if I pressed something incorrectly when having a go the first time. I have rebooted the PC, I have tried different ports, I have looked at the help manuals (and they keep mentioning "Devices" on iTunes which I can't see).
    I thought I was going to set this up for a Christmas present - and time seems to be running out.
    Can anyone help, please?

    I have checked everything out and found that the inserted cable needed an extra push (when it had felt as though it had gone in properly!) see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
    I have now got all my tracks on it!
    Good luck to everyone else!!

  • My new IPod shuffle is plugged into my computer on my iTunes account but it has been blinking orange for hours. What should I do?

    Hello!
    I just purchased an IPod Shuffle.  I have an existing account with Itunes where I have many songs in my library. I plugged in my IPod Shuffle into my computer and ITune, but it has been blinking orange for hours. I had already charged the IPod until the light turned green.  So I thought it was fully charged.  When I go under "file" and "device" it won't permit me to sync my IPod.  What is happening?  Should my IPod be on or off and does that make a difference because I have it turned on. Anyone who can provide me with some guidance it would be greatly appreciated.  I am extremely frustrated and at the end of my rope.
    Thank you,
    Samantha

    venicespent,
    Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
    Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
    But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

  • My new Ipod shuffle isn't being recognized by my existing Itunes Account. I plug it in and nothing pops up

    I just bought a new ipod shuffle to relplace my old one. i thought i could just open my existing itunes account and plug in the new shuffle and it would prompt me to add the new ipod to this account. When I plug in the new ipod nothing happens at all. Nothing opens up to recognize the new ipod at all. I am up to date on itunes downloads and i restarted my computer. I have tried plugging in the new ipod several times to no avail. no acknowledgement at all. no devices at all. do i have to download itunes again each time i buy a new ipod?

    Ok..just answered my own question..maybe this will help some of you with similar problems. Such an easy fix I feel like an idoit but glad it was easy...PLUG MUST BE PUSHED IN IPOD VERY SNUGGLY WITH NO SILVER SHOWING AT ALL!!

  • Ipod shuffle will not be recognised by computer or itunes- help?

    I recieved an ipod shuffle as a second-hand gift from my friend, but had to buy a third-party (I think) cable, as the one it came with had previously been lost. My friend had used it on several of her computers, and managed to put music on it, and it worked fine. Now, when I plug it into my laptop, it charges (green light) but doesn't connect at all. The computer doesn't even recognise that there its anything attatched. Can you help me? I really don't want to have to give it back, from the trouble that getting the cable caused, but buying another iPod and keeping the shuffle would seem greedy.
    P.S. Her OS is XP, but mine is Vista. could that be something to do with it?
    ~Charlotte~

    I had a very similar issue with both of my daughters' ipod shuffles. I tried a few days ago to sync up their shuffles. My computer(XP) and my laptop(Vista) would not recognize any of them.
    One shuffle was bought last Christmas 2008 and the other one was bought in March of this year. I tried everything I could think of to get them to be recognized by either device.
    This morning I tried something that I did not think of to do earlier. I borrowed one of my nieces original USB/charger that came with her shuffle. I plugged it up and it synced up with no problems at all. Both of my daughters managed to get their original ones either lost or chewed up by a dog, so I had to buy some third-party ones for them which worked fine the last time I actually synced them up months ago. The brands are Dynex and Belken (both still work fine for me as far as charging/syncing up my ipod touch).
    I don't know if something has changed(programming?) since the last time I synced up thier shuffles. I know their has been several newer versions of Itunes since then. I have the most up-to-date version installed on my PC and laptop now. The original Apple USB/charger always works with both of the shuffles. The third-party ones I have no longer work as far as syncing up with Itunes. They will still charge the shuffles though.

  • Ipod shuffle is not recognized by any computer or itunes

    I have a first gen. ipod shuffle. It does not show up in Windows or Itunes on two different computers. The original problem was that it would not skip to the next song. I was going to reset or restore it, but I can't because neither computer (dell) that i own recognizes the shuffle. Help anyone?

    I have downloaded that utility but can not use it, as
    when I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it is not
    recognized by either computer I am using. I can not
    reset or restore, because in order to do that the
    computer would have to know the shuffle is plugged in
    and it doesnt. I have tried this on two different
    computers and get the same result, so I dont think
    its a computer issue, its an ipod issue. I also used
    to be albe to play the shuffle on the Xbox 360 and
    now can not.
    Just as a check, did you actually follow the THESE directions...EXACTLY?
    Using iPod shuffle Reset Utility
    1. Quit all running applications on your computer.
    2. Open the iPod shuffle Reset Utility.
    3. Connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard or other non-powered USB hub.
    4. Click the Restore button. If prompted, enter an Admin user name and password.
    5. The restore process will start.
    6. When it is complete, quit iPod shuffle Reset Utility and open iTunes to sync music to your iPod shuffle.

    My new Ipod shuffle is not showing up in itunes. I've downloaded the newest version. When I set up my account I was not asked to name or register this shuffle. Its a 5th generation 2gb. I cannot find the page to do so.
