What good is a NEW iPod shuffle that doesn't work?!

Has Apple fixed the problem regarding the shuffles not be a recognized driver?
I cannot believe that a company as huge as Apple, has not problem-solved and found an answer for people who purchased it's product.
I feel very frustrated, and my 3 kids -- all waiting for me to get their iPods working, are annoyed.
Thank you, Apple.

I trashed mine (iGB Shuffle) after many days spent. My shuffle just stop working one day. I tried everything from Apple website suggested 10 times at least. Still no good. I am an Information System professional. I deal with this kind of problems daily. But we all rely on the manufacturer to provide helps. AFter 90 days, you have to pay to be able to 'chat' online with support. I bought new Toshiba Gigabeat. Cheaper and 'IT WORKS'. So return the products and get your money back buy something else. good Luck!!!

New ipod shuffle remote doesn't work correctly

I've bought a player today, plugged in to USB port. iTunes proposed me to update to the latest version - I agreed. So I had the lates updates. When I try to increase volume using remote - it doesn't work. When I stop playing by using middle button then try to change volume level it is changed only for one step even if I pressed 20 times.... I think it's BIG bug...
Who knows is it can be fixed or not?
Thank you!

Somebody know solutions for my problem?
I guess, maybe it's problem with i use notebook and usb power has below require? I am angry...

Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

My iPhone 5 only charges with my lightning port cable and only on one side. I've tried buying a new cable but that doesn't work.

Since there's no one side on a lightning cable, make an appointment with genius bar for an evaluation.

Anyone with a new iPod Shuffle that works with Powerbook G4 OSX 10.3.9 ???

I just bought the new iPod Shuffle also and my Mac OSX 10.3.9 operating system is not recognizing the iPod. This is a big issue since they are supposed to be compatible.
I called AppleCare 2 times and spent 1hr+ at the Apple Store Genious Bar. Here's the deal ... basically the new iPod Shuffle is NOT compatible with 10.3.9 ... I would guess you are having the same issue. My iPod Shuffle works fine with Tiger OS. The Genious Bar tested my computer with Tiger OS to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue and the iPod Shuffle worked fine ... but not with 10.3.9. This is definately an operating system compatibility issue.
Let me know if anyone has the same issue or better yet ... if you iPod works with Powerbook G4 OSX 10.3.9.

I too purchased a new Shuffle and could not get it to work with any software on my PowerBook G4 running the latest Panther (10.3.9). (Only the Disk Utility could see the Shuffle.) I also tried it on my PowerMac G5 running the latest Panther Server, and my PowerMac G4 running the latest Tiger. Given that multiple hardware AND OS configurations were failing, I had to conclude that it was some errant software I had installed on all 3 machines. (As an additional indicator, NONE of my machines would play DVDs anymore: inserting a DVD produced the dreaded "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read.")
The culprit turned out to be the kernel extensions installed by my (older) Lexar Secure jump drive. These files are in directory /System/Library/Extensions.
IOLexarEncryptFilter.kext
IOSCSILexarCommandsDevice.kext
LexarFilterScheme.kext
I do not know if it is just one of them or all 3, but I moved all of these files out of the Extensions directory and rebooted. Presto: the DVDs play and the new Shuffle can be seen by iTunes, etc.
Note that I do not necessarily recommend messing about in the the kernel extensions directory. If anyone has a better method for removing these extensions (I couldn't find anything on the Lexar support site), then I would be grateful for your input.

ITunes forcing iPod restore that doesn't work...

Ever since I upgraded to the new iTunes, when I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes give a message that "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". So I restore it, and it restarts and the whole thing starts again! With the exact message and the exact same process.
I've tried Apple's 5-step process, but that doesn't work, so now I'm stuck with an empty iPod that doesn't load.
Any ideas???

IT's the new version of I tunes. Theres something screwy with 7.6 I got the new 80 gig Ipod classic with video. I updated I tunes, and then uploaded my music. Everything was fine until i updated my ipod with more music that i had. A few hours later I was listening to music when all of a sudden it stopped playing. I looked and My I pod had frozen. So I did a reset and then it came up to the thing were it says it needs to be restored. I've done that like twenty times and it still says the same **** thing...
A piece of advice... don't listen to anyone who tells you to change the drive letter (it tells you how to on this site as well) it doesn't work.
Do try to restore on a friends Itunes that is prior to 7.6. I hear that really works.

You might be able to get it replaced... Otherwise, try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303979

What do I do with a 5s that doesn't work

What do I do with a new 5s that simply doesn't work? This is the 3rd new 5s I've had in the past 5 weeks, and I haven't had one work yet. This is obvously not a hardware problem, which I'm sure makes it harder to solve, but at this point I'm left with a very expensive, nearly useless object that no one at Apple seems too concerned about. At this point, I'm left to simply call in every once in a while to see if my case is still even active, since no one contacts me about it. It's been looked at by various senior advisors and "engineers". Without all the history, a simple summary of the problems would be as follows:
The phone shuts off or freezes with almost any function, has been doing this for over 5 weeks. This includes during phone calls, using GPS, using camera, using App Store, using Calendar...uh, using anything. Phone is unable to sync with my Mac, and has not been able to load any of my music. Other than that, it's perfect.
What options do I have, if any, at this point? Samsung, Droid? I've been a loyal Apple customer for some time, but I'm exhausted.

Sorry for the 'tone', I was getting a bit frustrated!
When I try to use Creative Cloud installer or App Manager, the installer times out after about 3 minutes and gives a message telling me to connect to the Internet and try again. This is strange since I am obviously connected to the Internet, I am using the Adobe website so I must be! I just downloaded the installer without any problem.
Please help as I can't download any actual product updates without this it seems.

Old ipod shuffle, just doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

I have a really old ipod shuffle, like the first one they came out with and I was wondering if there is a way to get it to work. It stopped working a while ago and my son wants one so I thought this would be a great first one for him. If I can get it to work! Please help me!!!

Either way, at best it's likely that the battery is shot and in need or replacement. Sorry.

Argh! Just got my new ipod and it doesn't work!

Well got the video ipod and oh great it doesn't work. I hooked it up to my computer and it showed up. So I just tryed going to into windows media player and syncing some songs. I only added about 500 songs or so just to tet it out. It showed that the space was taking up in the "about" thing but I could not play any of the songs because they didn't show up under the music section. I then tried it again but now my computer doesn't recognize it. I can't run a restore or anything because of that. Can anyone help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Why are you using Windows Media Player?
Make sure that all of this is installed...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Also, you should be using iTunes to transfer music. See this...
Transfer Music to Your iPod (Tutorial)
Finally, if the iPod is not showing up in iTunes or iPod Updater (and those are installed and you have tried using them)...

I own a iPod touch 4g and the volume bar has suddenly disappeared its not there I can neither turn my volume up or down. I've tried restarting my iPod but that doesn't work it's completely vanished and the iPod acts as if it never existed

It also doesn't appear when I'm watching videos or listening to music

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

New iPod shuffle won't stay on, charge, and not recognized by computer

My daughter won a new iPod Shuffle that as far as we know has never been opened/used till today. We have iTunes downloaded and working on our computer. But when plugging in iPod via provided USB cable, the computer (and I've tried two different ones) will not recognize anything is plugged in. Also, I don't even think the iPod is working at all. The amber light only comes on for one second when turned on/plugged in, then goes off. I know the USB ports I've tried to use it with are adequate (i.e. fast/powerful enough) because they are the main USB ports of the computers (no hubs or dual ports) and they work with other Apple products just fine (including other iPods), so that can't be the problem. Help?! She's so disappointed.

I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES. There is a bar with buttons toward the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist. Click Apply.
Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library. The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.
