Can't get new shuffle to charge or "eject" from computer

I have a new shuffle. Followed all directions to a tee, or at least I think I have. Even tried reformatting shuffle. I've already downloaded songs to the shuffle, but the orange light keeps blinking and will not stop. I have left it plugged in to the computer for 12 hrs and no change and no charge. The guide to the lights says that it indicates that it means the shuffle is being used as a disk source and needs to be ejected. However, I do not have that function enabled and even when I try to use the eject function it tells me I can't because I have shared files in another source. Any ideas?

I think I fixed the problem. I could not eject in i
Tunes because it was not enabled as an outside port
or disk in i tunes. I had to go to the Start menu
and go under my computer and eject there from the e
drive. It seems to have worked because it stoped
blinking and now has a steady oranage light which
means it is finally charging.
For future reference: While blinking orange the Shuffle charges anyway... you just can;t tell when it's fully charged UNLESS you either EJECT it, or disconnect it.

  • TS1286 Hi! I can't get my IPad to charge when it's powerd on. HELP! :)

    Hi! I can't get my IPad to charge when it's powerd on. It only charges when it's powerd off and it takes a while. Also, I can't sync at all. PC doesn't reconize it. Has anyone here had this problem that can give me a hint of what is going on?
    Thanks a lot!

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    thanks

    Doesn't matter how much you pay.
    You can do an out-of-warranty charge replacement for the same phone you have, for whatever price Apple has set in your home country.  You cannot use that as an excuse for Apple to upgrade you.

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
    http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

  • Can't get new photos added to existing iPhoto albums to sync with iPhone

    I tried talking about this in the iTunes area, but there was no response:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20660036#20660036
    I thought I'd drop by the iPhone discussion area next.
    The problem in a nutshell is that I can't get new photos added to iPhoto albums to sync with my iPhone 5. I can even unselect the albums, sync, see the albums deleted on the iPhone, select the albums again, sync, see the albums recreated - but the recreated albums don't include the photos I added yesterday.
    I don't know if this is an iTunes 11 bug, an iPhoto bug or an iPhone bug.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Yes, but which album will be empty?
    Anyway, as soon as I saw how creating albums locally on the iPhone actually worked I said to myself, "This is not reasonable" and as much as I dislike iPhoto decided to keep doing it there until that feature is improved.
    It seems like an obvious thing to improve. Then the albums can sync between the iPhone, iPhoto and other iOS devices more like "it just works" (which it doesn't do now).

  • ImageUltra Builder 5 - Can't get new computers to connect to repository

    Greetings.  I've recently (finally) upgraded from IUB 3 to IUB 5 and while our older PC's connect to the upgraded repository and image just fine, I can't get newer PC's to even grab an IP in the WinPE environment after booting off a disc (for network distribution).
    I know this is because I need to figure out how to get the latest NIC drivers (for like a T520) into the repository for IUB 5, but I've followed the instructions in the manual for it and no matter what I try I cannot get them loaded properly.
    I found another post in these forums that appeared to address this, but after following the (somewhat muddy) instructions there I still cannot get it working.
    So far I'm placing all my drivers for the T520 etc. into \repositoryshare\drvs_7pe\drivers\preboot\drivers AND \repositoryshare\drvs_7pe\wim\drivers\windows\system32.
    Note that these drivers worked just great on my IUB 3 boot discs.  So I guess I don't have the \repositoryshare\... folder structure setup correctly (?)
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Make sure firmware is updated to the latest version. You can download it here http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N.  Just reset and reconfigure the router. That should fix it.

    You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
    Good luck.
