Can't acces ipod shuffle

from my mac.
I have a 2. generation shuffle, that doens't show in iTunes, nor in the general unit in finder.
I'm however able to see the unit in "about this mac"
I Use, Mac OS X ver. 10.5.8 on an older mac with 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
So far I've tried the general on/off advise, and i've checked my iTunes software, (ver. 10.6.3) which should be able to do it.
I've even opened an iTunes account, to hope that it would solve my problem.
.... and bang, suddenly as i write this iTunes comes up with a question to reset the shuffle. (mmh. strange that it took half an hour for the system to do that.) Anyway. Problem seems to be solved.

hey brendan the problem is that it depends what version of i tunes u have if u have 4.7 that is primary better for using the shuffle because it has all the right applications for it. The new version 6 might cause problems with shuffles it did for mine. Try uninstalling the 20 gb i pod and installing the shuffle first. Then installing the 20 gb one after that might work. Cause im not to familar with the 20 gb ones im not sure if u can run two i pods at the same time one on application like i tunes it simply one lets u run one.

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.

Can i operate ipod shuffle 3rd generation green without headphones

can i operate ipod shuffle 3rd generation green without headphones

You need headphones with compatible remote control buttons, which may be hard to find. Even the current Apple EarPod headphones do not have buttons that are compatible.
As an alternative, you can get an adapter with the buttons, and connect ANY standard headphones. Here's an example

Can't install iPod Shuffle?

I've had my 20GB iPod for almost a year now, and I've just bought an iPod Shuffle, but can't seem to install it. iTunes won't recognise it, and when I use the CD, I get the same problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

TS1372 can't restore ipod shuffle error 1442

how xan i restart my ipod shuffle with unknown error occured 1442?

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT:
1) You need to make sure you back up your library so you can maintain your ID3 tags, ratings, and library settings. So follow the instructions located at: http://www.kadavy.net/blog/archive/2005/08/transferyouri.php
2) Uninstall iTunes completely
- After uninstalling, make sure that the following directories are erased:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Program Files\iTunes
- this will ensure that all the previously installed versions of iPod firmware updates are erased.
3) One other thing that I did, which I don't know if it helped. Was cleared my registry from previous iTunes installations, by
a. clicking start....run
b. typing 'regedit'
c. searching for strings that had "iTunes" in them and removing the ones under the folder "SOFTWARE" and NOT ANY OTHERS.
~be advised that the registry is very crucial to Windows interface and I am not liable for any damage done due to ignorance or neglect during this step
4) Empty Recycling Bin to get rid of everything
5) Re-install the latest versions of iTunes available at www.apple.com
6) Click File-->Import and then selecting your exported Library File (XML)
this will re-import all your settings and album ratings and ID3 tags
7) THEN VAIOLA! This fixed my error -48

Hey StatistaXS,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iPod shuffle may have had a very low charge when connecting to your computer:

http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1510
If the iPod does not turn on after charging for an acceptable amount of time, it may need to be serviced. But first, check out the relative steps in this resource:

Ahhh, help please, can't see ipod shuffle in itunes

I've downloaded the latest itunes after i bought a 1GB 2nd gen ipod shuffle. I plug it into USB and immediately it pops up asking me whether I wish to play or open the folder (like it does when I plug in a memory stick or my mp3 player). I choose cancel and then open itunes.
I can't see any option to add the ipod in itunes though, there's no ipod setup assistant that appears when I plug it into the USB port and I can't see any option to search for it.
I can see the ipod in My computer on the I drive, so the PC recognises it. How can I get itunes to do the same?
Thanks!

Well, I actually got a bit further now (although quite by accident). I went into "My Computer" and clicked on "System Properties." Then clicked on the "Hardware" tab and "Device Manager." When the list was populated, there was my iPod! It had a yellow warning sign next to it, so I clicked on it and followed the prompts...NOW my computer recognizes it and it shows up when I log into iTunes. HOWEVER, now I am getting the "cannot sync b/c the required disk cannot be found." *sigh* I'm a little more hopeful...maybe the tech support can help me from here??

Can i charge ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter ?

can i charge my ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter?

Apple designed a modular transformer system to both simplify the plug and make travel between countries easy.
The transformer is the same in the US (110V) as it is in Australia (240V). The plugs are also identical to those included with each countries products.

Can a 2G ipod shuffle be connected with a 3G ipod shuffle cable?

I've misplaced my 2G ipod shuffle cable. Can I connect and charge my 2G shuffle with a 3G ipod shuffle cable? I've tried and nothing happens, so I'm not sure if 2G shuffle is dead or I need the correct cable.
Any suggestions?

Are you saying that it won't work? The battery in my iPod may be bad. I don't want to buy a new cable if my iPod battery is shot.
To be clear: You can NOT use a 3rd Gen shuffle cable with a 2nd Gen shuffle.

Where i can get an iPod shuffle polished stainless steel ?

I really liked the look of the special edition polished stainless steel iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) limited edition when it came out but
unfortunately was not in a position to buy one. Do you know where I can get one within or shipped too the UK or do you have
one you would be willing to sell me ?
Thanks in advance, Ralph

You need to contact the people who administer the networks to get the passwords for the networks. If there was such an app as you are asking for then passwords for wifi networks would be worthless.

HT201269 Why can't my ipod shuffle be ejected from Itunes?

This is the last problem I am having with my Apple product. This is a brand new Ipod shuffle, to replace my first Ipod which broke, I have had so many problems getting it to work. Among other things I got error messages and had to reinstall ITunes which I couldn't do but finally succeeded after visiting this community. I am very annoyed right now. I need help! Must be a simple thing. I just want to get to the gym!!!

Hi,
Thank you for helping me. There was no Ipod shuffle community in the menu so I went for Ipod Touch, sorry about that. In the end I ejected my Ipod Shuffle through my lap top, it works fine. When I clicked on the eject button I got a message that the device was being used by antoher device or something like that.
To use my new Ipod shuffle I had to restore the original settings and was able to build a playlist for the gym, that's all I need! Originally I wanted to use the voice over feature, I wanted my playlists from my Ipod nano to sync up to my new Apple device but that didn't work so... I am not a techie and having to reinstall, restore and the like irritates me.
Thank you for trying to help me.

HT1510 can't charge ipod shuffle nothing happening when plugged in what do i do?

tried to charge shuffle but its stone dead wot do i do?

How long have you left it to charge? Are you plugging it into a USB wall adapter or a USB port on your PC or Mac?
Are you using the same cable that originally came with the iPod Shuffle?
After leaving the iPod to charge for a minimum of 30 minutes have you tried to bring it back to life with a hard reset?
