1gb IPod Shuffle won't mount

My IPod Shuffle beginning yesterday won't mount on my desktop and isn't recognized but ITunes on both my desktop and laptop. But through System Profile>Hardware>USB, the IPod shows up in a USB port. Could this be because of an ITunes or Ipod update.
  Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Dual 867 G4, Ibook G3

It could be due to an update .... had you updated either of them?
Do the simplest things first: Just log out to a Restart and see it that makes the Shuffle appear. That done, plug it into a working high-power port and just leave it there for a while, say up to an hour.

  • Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

    ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
    I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
    Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
    I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
    All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
    One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
    Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

    Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
    Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
    I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

  • My iPod Shuffle won't update or restore.

    My iPod Shuffle won't update or restore when I put my iPod in it says iPod Service Error or Can't Mount iPod. Can someone please help me?

    The same thing happened to me, I called Apple (Is your Ipod still have the free 90 days free phone call?) they told me it was my battery. They said they think I should buy a new one. I did not. I didn't think it is really my battery. Are you connections clean? Have you tried different USB hubs? I've heard the USB's in the back tend to give off more power.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod Shuffle won't turn on or charge and isn't recognized by the computer

    My Ipod shuffle won't charge and isn't recognized by the computer , it turned orange than stopped and won't charge or turn on since. Does anybody has a solution please ?

    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.

  • Ipod shuffle won't play tracks in order

    My ipod shuffle won't play tracks in order even when I have the shuffle button off. I have sync'd it on itunes to play in order but it just continues to shuffle all the tracks! Please help. Thanks

    I found a post about this problem from November, it is apparently how the iPod Shuffle handles podcasts. It sorts them in REVERSE chronological order, and moves them to the top of the play list. It's unbelievable that Apple has let a problem like this persist for so long.
    Here is the discussion I mentioned:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6259808&#6259808
    It offers a way to partially fix the problem, but one that I find entirely unacceptable. The only lasting solution mentioned was to buy a different mp3 player, which I'll be doing as soon as I return my Shuffle and get my money back.
    The sad thing is that in addition to Apple losing money on the sale of a Shuffle, they're also loosing money on songs I would be purchasing from iTunes (I got a $20 gift certificate for my b-day that I'm going to sell to buy other music that will play on a non-Apple mp3 player), and they might loose potential customers because I've been complaining about this to everybody I know!

    Correction, I found a discussion dealing with this from 2005!

  • HT1293 Can a 1GB IPod Shuffle (model A1204 - probably 1st Gen) be made to work with a 64 bit computer?

    Can a 1GB IPod Shuffle (model A1204 - probably 1st Gen) be made to work with a 64 bit computer?  I have never used this IPod which I receivede as a gift in 2008.

    I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work.  Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program.  I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it.  Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS.  Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out.  My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is.  If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer.  I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection.  It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

  • Hello everyone. I just got a 1GB iPod Shuffle,

    Hello everyone. I just got a 1GB iPod Shuffle, I really like it, it works great. However I noticed when I pause it, and press to play, it advances to the next song most of the time. Some songs resume play were I left off, but most skip to the next? Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Yeah I also noticed that. I am not sure which song played, but I have been reading other posts and it seems to be a common issue. Not sure if its with just the shuffle or all iPods. Maybe Apple will have a fix.

  • My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

    my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

    maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
    i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
    i hope it can help you...
    and trust me IT WORKS....

  • Ipod photo won't mount to itunes - please help me!  i'm desperate!

    Hey everyone,
    Thanks in advance to whomever reads this and answers... I've been fighting with my ipod for over 12hrs now (over 3 days) and am VERY frustrated!
    here are my details:
    20 gig ipod photo
    Windows XP
    itunes 7
    Problem:
    itunes told me it needed to be restored. So, I went through the process, but when I plugged it back into the computer (after plugging it into the wall socket), I found that it won't mount in itunes! BUT, I can see it in Windows explorer.
    Have tried:
    - changing disk drive
    - uninstall, reinstall, reinstalling from CD (with old version)
    - restore (when it was coming up in itunes)
    - different usb ports
    - fiddling with resets and disk mode
    Things to note:
    - in Windows Explorer it now comes up as IPOD instead of VANESSA'S IPOD. I don't know why!
    - when I plug it into the computer it seems completely happy - it's charged, is flashing the do not disconnect... everything normal! And, when it's not plugged in, I'm able to browse through the menus like normal - the only problem really appears to be that itunes won't recognise it.
    I kind of feel like I've been trying a lot of different things, and maybe not in the right order? It feels like something really small that I'm missing...
    If you have any ideas or suggestions, please please PLEASE let me know... as I said, I'm desperate...
    cheers

  • IPod Shuffle Won't Sync On Computer -- Help !

    I have the 2nd gen of iPod shuffle. & I'm using Windows XP.
    I don't know why but the shuffle won't sync onto my computer.
    It used to before but it doesn't work anymore.
    I've tried restoring it with the iPod Reset Utility but it said it won't mount. Also, when I tried connecting it to iTunes, it said that the files were corrupted.
    So I tried restoring it there too but it would never finish, even after a few hours.
    And another problem is that it won't show up as a hard drive on "my computer."
    But when I take it to my brother's computer, the iPod shuffle works.
    Is there a way to make it sync onto my computer?
    Because all the songs are on my computer and I'll have to send them over to my brother's computer.
    Which will take a really long time.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Ipod shuffle won't stay connected in itunes

    I have an old ipod shuffle, the kind that's white and looks like a flash drive.  I just got a new Windows 7 laptop, and installed itunes on it.  I spent a few hours transferring all of my music over to itunes on the new laptop.  Then, when I plugged my ipod shuffle into the laptop, it wouldn't properly synch.  It makes a "beep" sound, flashes that it's available in the itunes screen, disappears, beeps again, reappears, etc.  I checked in control panel and my computer, and it really is appearing in my computer, then disappearing, then reappearing.  I tried to plug my ipod into all of the different USB ports.  I also tried restarting my computer.
    How do I get it so I can access my ipod on my laptop?

    I have two iPod shuffle 2nd gen, neither is working on any of my mac's, I have 10.6.1 on two of the
    computers along with the latest version of iTunes ver 9 (70) I had the same issue with 10.5.8 and the
    last version of iTunes. I've reset both with the "iPod reset utility". It takes forever to mount the shuffle
    in iTunes, when it does show and I try to copy anything to the iPod shuffle it fails! It's interesting that
    this seems to have happen around the same time that the 3rd generation iPod shuffle came onto the
    market, I smell a rip-off, yes Steve are you listening (possibly NOT!) Any how I've very disappointed with
    Apple as this is an issue and they seem to don't really care, they just won't you to purchase more
    STUFF, well I still have my iPod touch and iPod classic, once they die or Apple decides to mess up
    the software then I'll possibly look else where.

  • Shuffle won't mount

    I have had an iPod for 2 years and have never had a problem with it. I finally convinced a friend to get a shuffle. Problem is it won't mount when I plug it in to the USB ports. Any ideas...I tried it on a PC and it recgnized the shuffle no problem

    Update 8/25, I returned the iShuffle for a refund a couple days ago and today I finally got a reply to my support request pasted below. Maybe this will save someone the trouble of waiting a week to learn.

    Comments : Just bought an iShuffle from Good Guys today and having problems getting it to work. I have OSX 10.3.9 and iTunes 4.5.9 installed on a G4 533 with 896 mb RAM.
    When I put in the ipod cd it did not finish the install - settings were dimmed and I had to just quit. Plugged the iShuffle in and after a couple hours the charge light went from amber to green but not being seen by the mac. Tried restarting, including a shutdown and power back on all to no avail.
    FAQ seems rather useless and manual has nothing to offer. Maybe I should just return it and go with the XM2GO instead.

  • Shuffle won't mount, but it did!

    My shuffle will not mount on my G5. It did up until Tuesday, then I added new songs and now it won't play, won't mount, and when I try to do a software restore, the updater program freezes up. Any ideas?

    I'm currently having the same issue. For anyone reading this in Apple's quality deparment ( *crickets chirp * ), here's an account of the behavior:
    - On Friday, I purchased a song from the iTunes music store. After downloading the song, I plugged in my iPod shuffle into a USB 1.1 port on my PowerBook.
    - During the run, the iPod played all the other songs without a problem. Yet, I couldn't get the new song to play in either shuffle mode or straight mode.
    - Monday, I lost the ability to connect my iPod as a disk to my home PowerBook or any number of machines at work, all running Windows XP but different hardware.
    - Tonight, I tried to restore the iPod update from the most recent patch. The software asks me to connect an iPod. I plug in my iPod shuffle and the software updater never finds it.
    - Using the System Info and USB Probe tools, I can find that the iPod is mounted as a device on the machine. I believe this means that hardware-to-hardware the iPod shuffle is connecting.
    - My system.log contains a number of entries like "localhost kernel: USBF::4681.218 AppleUSBOHCI[0x2012000]::CreateGeneralTransfer - trying to queue to a stalled pipe" and "localhost kernel: USBF: 4681.218 AppleUSBOHCI[0x2012000]::DoIOTransfer - error 0xe000404f queueing request". Again, there's a physical connection, but I'm not sure what that means.
    - When I run iTunes 6.0.1 with the iPod connected, I get nothing but the color swirl cursor. I haven't launched Spin Control to find the hangs, but that just might be the next thing on my list of areas to venture.
    - My iPod, which still has the playlist from Friday, no longer plays the music. Just get the orange and green rapid fire lights.
    - Now, I've started to look for answers in the discussion boards to try and get some resolve. This has led to frustration and hence this post after reading a number of other posts.
    I agree with Phil, given the users having this problem (which seems linked to iTunes 6.0.1 and the iPod update), I would have expected a quality driven company to acknowledge the issue and respond to those users. I guess Apple is too busy trying to maintain the marketing dominance they forgot what quality engineering and coding was all about. Instead of worrying about the other 30% of the market, why not take care of the existing 70%. Otherwise, you'll upset so many people, you'll drive that market share down to 4%.
    I know this was a foolish waste of my time. No one from Apple engineering is even going to get in contact with technically savy users to resolve this problem. I'm going back to CD's. At least I don't have to worry about updating those with faulty software.

  • My iPod Shuffle won't read the name of playlists or songs

    I got my first iPod shuffle 4GB... everything's working fine but just when I click and hold the centre button it won't tell me the names of the song... or when I try to change playlists it will tell me "playlist 1... playlist 2... playlist 3" instead of the names of the playlists. Though I can see the names in my iTune.
    Can anyone help me...? Thanks a lot.. I was actually really looking forward to this name-reading function..
    Cheers

    Thank you so much - yes it will read the names of the songs and playlist now! Thanks a lot for your help, without your answer i probably won't be able to figure it out myself. Cheers!

  • Brand new IPOD Shuffle won't charge battery!

    What am I doing wrong???
    I did download and install ITUNES, and added a bunch of songs that show in ITUNES,(that I put on the IPOD) and when I dock it, it blinks yellow, then goes to solid green. After I eject it, I try to turn it on, but, I get no light, and it won't play.
    Any ideas?

    I am having a similar problem with my iPod shuffle 2G. I read that the shuffle would not charge properly unless it was plugged into a high speed USB port (which I later discovered my computer does not have). I bought an A/C adapter in order to charge it from the wall (not from Apple). I charged it overnight until the light turned green. I disconnected the iPod and turned it on; the light stayed green for two seconds, then went off, and the iPod does not play.
    I contacted Apple Support, and the only suggestion they could offer was that the A/C adapter I bought is not the correct one. I am now waiting for a second wall charger to arrive, to see if that in fact is the case. The iPod did in fact sync and load songs with no problem despite not having a high speed USB port. Anybody else experience this?
