Shuffle appears dead

My shuffle stopped working today.
It was fully charged last night and filled with music.
I plug it in to my car stereo on my way to work and then hook up the headphones for the walk from the car park. On the way home, when hooked up to the car stereo through AUX port, the music stopped right in the middle of a song for no apparent reason. Total play time today was just over an hour.
Since then no lights, not recognised in iTunes and unable to reset.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong or how to fix before I decide it is really dead and send it off the the recycler.

take it to an apple store or where you bought it because if the USB broke on it they won't work.

  • HT1719 why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear on my devices on itunes?

    Why doesnt my 1st generation ipod shuffle appear under my devices on itunes when i plug it in? i have windows 7. I got the ipod today from a friend with their music. i deleted their music and added my own to the folder it was in. but when i unplugged it i still had their music and none of mine.

    You need to restore the Shuffle in iTunes first. Then sync all of your music stored in iTunes over to it. Or is that what you did?

  • Distribution appears dead!

    Does anyone know what the error message "Distribution appears dead!" means?
    I have several distributions applied to several servers. They are set to
    refresh hourly. All of them worked perfectly at one time, but now each
    distribution is returning this error message for some, but never the same
    servers.
    For example:
    Distribution 1 (inventory policy) reports the error on servers a,b, and c.
    Distribution 2 (file distribution) reports the error on servers d, e, and
    f.
    Distribution 3 (file distribution) returns the error on servers g, h, and
    i.
    I've checked the KB, but found no reference to this error message.
    Thank you for your assistance.

  • IPhone appears dead

    My phone appears dead. There is no activity on the screen. Nothing happens when I hold down the power and home buttons. There is no response to being charged by my computer or outlet. I took the SIM card out and put it back in. Still no activity. Is there a way to get the phone working again? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Connect it to the wall charger for 30 minutes. Remove, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for at least 10 seconds. An Apple logo should appear and the phone should reboot.
    If it doesn't the battery may be bad, the cable may be bad, the charger may be bad, or the phone may be bad. So eliminate the ones you can; try a different cable and different charger. If it's still dead take it to an Apple store (make an appointment first) or toss it and get an iPhone 4.

  • Shuffle appears on desktop but not in itunes

    My shuffle appears on the desktop, it appears in system profile but it does not appear in itunes. I have done reset, retry, restart. I could not do reinstall or restore since both of those steps require itunes to recognize the shuffle.

    Did you try the Reset Utility?

  • SMTP 3500 - USB 2.0 Not Working - Shuffle is Dead

    After using my shuffle for several months successfully, today my computer only recognizes the shuffle as SMTP 3500 - Player Recovery Device Class.
    Also, my computer somehow no longer recognizes the USB 2.0 ports as high speed ports, because when I connect the shuffle it indicates that the device requires a high speed port connection.
    The shuffle itself is dead. No lights appear when I connect it and the battery indicator light does not illuminate when I press the status indicator.
    Please help

    After spending several hours attemping to to look for info to fix this issues, I decided to try something weired.
    When the STMP3500 message pop up choose to reinstall driver. Point the driver location to C:\Program Files\iPod\iPod Updater 2005-06-26\StMp3Rec.inf (you need to install the laste Ipod Updater.
    Then run the Ipod updater aganin Start->Programs->iPod->iPod Updater 2005-06-26->iPod Updater 2005-06-26
    After retore to factory setting then prompt to restart the PC. Then my Ipod came to life once again.

  • My ipod Shuffle is Dead?

    I have a Ipod Shuffle since November 25, it worked very well until yesterday, i dont know what happenned, but it wont turn on, and my computer wont recognise it, only sometimes after plugging it several times it starts charging, but it gets very hot (i dont remember it getting that hot before) if i take it off to listen music it wont turn on again, i already left it a lot of time charging and when i try to turn it on it wont work.
    So do you think my ipod is dead and i should go to get a new one? or what should i do?, (i already made the 5Rs and nothing works)

    Return it to Apple as it sounds faulty.
    It is under warranty and they should replace it.

  • Ipod shuffle appearing on desktop but not in itunes?

    Hi I have a second generation ipod shuffle, which when connected appears on my imac desktop. It automatically opens itunes but does not appear in itunes. I have used the disk utility to repair it, checked for updates, reset the shuffle yet to no avail... any suggestions please would be greatly appreciated

    OK, I restarted the powerbook with the ipod plugged into the computer. Previously I had been plugging the iPod into an active computer. And lo and behold it is now recognized by iTunes. I'm not marking the Question as answered, because it may not work next time.

    I recently upgraded to iTunes v.8.1. Now my generation 1 Shuffle shows up in 'My Computer' but not in the iTunes 'devices'? I followed the iTunes 'help' advice - even reloading iTunes but to no avail. Anyone help please?

    hi haptic!
    I had it all working fine until I formatted my pc. Now windows recognizes it but not iTunes or the updater, and I don't get any error message.
    just checking. have you investigated these possibilities yet?

  • 2950 appears dead System Light Flashing stat light stays on

    I think I have a dead switch. However, I figured I would see if anyones had a similar situation. When I power the device up the stat light comes on and stays on. Then the port lights flash once then the system light starts flashing. Once the system light starts fashing the switch appears to hang. It's not responding from the console port. The other switch is I have is a 2950 as well and it's responds via the terminal emulation settings I've set up. I think I know the answer, but I'm indulging in a little wishful thinking. Lastly I hold down the mode button for 15 to 30 sec and I dont get any change in status. Should I feed this switch to my garbage can?

    If the console port does not respond, there is not a whole lot you could do. If you have a service contract, open a TAC service request and get it replaced.
