New, charged 2nd gen Shuffle won't play--Windows XP, newest version iTunes

It is fully charged. It shows up under devices in iTunes (it says in Disk Manager though that it is "Apple iPod UBS device" which I believe is a bad thing). I click to load randomly. It shows as updating. I disconnect and try to play--nothing. I've tested to make sure it is not on hold. I've restored TWICE.
The other weird thing is that in the Contents section it shows my entire library--not what is supposedly on my shuffle.
Any suggestions?

Yes... select ALL the Contents and hit Delete. Now DRAG and DROP some songs onto the Shuffle from your library.
Disconnect, turn on, and hit PLAY.

Is it necessary to use the dock to charge my i pod shuffle 2 GB

IT IS NECESSARY TO USE THE DOCK TO CHARGE MY I POD SHUFFLE 2 GB?????

You can also use the data cable that came with the iPod Shuffle to charge it.

Does iPhone 6 Plus use standard 1Amp charger or does it need the 2.1Amp charger?

Need Help with 2nd gen shuffle

I recently purchased a 2nd gen shuffle from a friend. He used Mac and I have Windows Vista so I knew I would have to restore so it would configure to my Windows Vista machine. I did this, renamed and synced some music to it, charged it with no problem. My husband took it with him to work and listened with no problems. He completely used it til the battery went down and needed charging. I hooked it up thru high speed USB port. Itunes didn't recognize it, there were no lights...not even a red or orange light at all. My computer nor device manager recognize it and still no lights on the shuffle period. I've had it hooked up to different ports and no help. I have a nano that works perfectly thru the same port I used so I know it isn't the port. I've tried restarting the computer....no help. I saw the seperate program that you can download for restoring but it says it can't be used with windows vista so I can't try that. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I really could use some help with this. Thanks in advance for any insight.

And you will have to take me seriously here but, by using the on/off switch, turn it on, count 15 Mississippi and turn it off, counting 15 Mississippi. Do this three times, leave it in the off position and reconnect the ipod to the dock, then the dock to the computer.
Let me know how it goes.

2nd gen shuffle blinks orange 3x then doesnt charge, isnt detected

I have had and used my Ipod Shuffle for a couple months now and I go to plug my Ipod Shuffle into the USB dock and the Ipod light blinks orange three times and nothing happens after that. The Ipod is not detected by my computer or by Itunes. The Ipod does not charge at all. Because the Ipod is not detected by Itunes or anything else for that matter, I can't upload or organize any of my songs on the Ipod. I have tried all of the solutions I can find related to Apple and Ipod. None have worked. I uninstalled Itunes from my computer and then reinstalled it and nothing happened. I want to find the answer to my pesky problem because I don't want to have to buy another MP3 player. Please help me fix this problem. Any ideas or suggestions?

I had the exact problem occur with a 2nd gen shuffle less than 24 hours old. I had just bought my kids each one of these. After loading them both with songs, one of them would no longer be recognized by either of my PC's. When plugged in to the docking station, the light on the ipod would blink orange 3x, and then, nothing. The PC would not play the normal something-was-just-plugged-into-the-USB-port sound. The other shuffle connected fine, using the same USB port and docking station. Strange enough, the ipod that refused to be recognized would still play the music that had already been loaded before the problem started. However, since it was not being recognized by the PC or iTunes, I figured it was not going to take a charge, and would just be a matter of 12-14 hours before the thing was dead for good. I took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for a new one. This time I purchased the 2-year replacement contract (something I rarely do). Probably a good bet, as a couple of hours later, the sound of the newly-replaced shuffle cuts in and out when the headphone wire is touched. I wonder how many of these cute little guys my kids will go through in the next two years...

Can I use 3rd gen cable to sync/charge 2nd gen

We have a 2nd Gen shuffle that lost it's docking charger. Rather than buy one I'd rather get a new 3rd gen and have both use the same cable. The connectors look the same, can this be done?

NO! The 3rd Gen connector is DIFFERENT from the the 2nd Gen Dock connector in the meaning of the "rings" ...

2nd gen shuffle no lights when charging

Do New Earphones work with the 2nd Gen Shuffle?

So my dog chewed up my 2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle earphones and I wanted to replace them. When I went to the the apple online store they are only selling the new earphones for the 3rd Gen Shuffle, that has a remote and a mic. It only says it supports the 3rd Gen Shuffle. Would I still be able to hear music on the new earphones? I don't really care about the remote and mic capabilities.
Here's the link to the 3rd Gen Earphones:

YES! I just used my 3rd Gen (replacement) earphones with my 2nd Gen
shuffle this evening... they worked fine.

I have 2nd gen shuffle, i am using a new USB to connect to my computer but the light does not come on and itunes does not bring it up?

I have a 2nd gen shuffle. I bought a new USB for it at the apple store last week. They said it would work with the the 2nd Gen shuffle. I have the shuffle plugged in to the computer now. It wont light up and itunes is not reconizing it. Please help!

I would bring it back to the Apple Store and have them test it out on one of their one machines to see if it'll work or not there.

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit...

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit... I restored the restored the software, but it didn't help - I'm sure its a hardware problem. Does anyone know what the fix for this might cost? Thanks
I couldn't see any other similar questions until this posted just a second ago - in case in helps with the diagnosis, the backlight does come on intermittently, which made me think it was a software problem, but now I'm just not sure.

I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Applew store. It is free except for your time. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished 2G for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place may be less expensive: Here us one. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

2nd gen shuffle freezes my laptop pc

I was just given a 2nd gen shuffle as a present. Last week I intalled itunes on my lenovo laptop (running windows xp), and all worked great for 1 week. then, suddenly, one day i plugged my shuffle into its dock, and my laptop froze. since then, i cannot get things to work right.
Details:
- ipod shuffle has constant amber light blinking when in dock; works normally otherwise, charges fine, etc
- ipod shuffle works fine w/ songs it already has onboard, but is not recognized by itunes anymore
- when pulling up my windows task manager while pc is frozen, I've noticed that my shuffle is causing my computer to use 100% of its cpu capacity. Removing the shuffle does not stop this. the only way to remedy this is to tell the task manager to "end process" for the ipod services .exe file, which then returns my pc to normal function. Several experiments show that as soon as my pc recognizes the ipod and starts running that services program, cpu usage hit 100% immediately and the computer freezes again.
- "reset","retry", "restart" all tried with no success
- "reinstall" tried, with no success. I had just installed the latest itunes and it worked great for that first week, anyways, so out-of-date software not likely to be the culprit
- "restore" not possible, because itunes never recognizes that my shuffle is docked now
- at no point have I recieved any error messages from either itunes or windows
Basically, the thing is useless now, except for the songs already on it. Got any ideas?

2nd gen shuffle disk format FAT32 on a mac?

Guys,
my incredibly stable quad g5 has gone "nuts" since I've had my 2nd gen shuffle. It hangs, won't mount external USB drives if the 2nd gen shuffle is docked during startup, lots of other really weird things.
The shuffle was delivered to my work, so the shuttle was 1st connected to a Windows box, but just to charge it fully.
when the shuffle is connected to the quad, it only actually shows in iTunes about 25% of the time... whether or not it shows up in iTunes, I can see an "iPod" on the USB bus. I've got lots of USB 2.0 powered ports... changing ports doesn't make a difference at all.
according to iTunes, the software version is 1.01, which was updated from the shipping 1.00 while connected to the Windows machine. (this might have been a bad thing to do)
when the shuffle is connected to iTunes, despite the fact that the checkbox allow disk access, most of the time I still see the shuttle mounted as a drive volume. When it doesn't show up, I can still see the drive briefly mount and unmount if I toggle settings or do anything with the shuttle.
obviously, I've tried restore(s) from the quad, which resets the contents of the shuttle but doesn't change the disk format.
the shuttle itself operates as expected, it's only while it's docked to the quad that all heck breaks loose...
Any ideas???
Thanks

ah... well, I've already restored one of the times that it was connected to a proper 2.0 powered USB port.
the first time, it wouldn't come back from the reflashed state, ie it didn't reconnect to iTunes...
I disconnected, it had no songs on it, but it seemed to work... after a number of attempts to dock, it finally did, and I pumped a bunch of song over to it and it worked...
I then retried that sequence and the update worked fine.
it's still a strange beast. for example... although no disk access is allowed, it still mounts a shuffle icon onto the desktop, just no folders are visible... strange...
I've chosen to downsample to 128kbit AAC, and I'm not having iTunes autofill the shuffle. I unselected the downsample option and clicked apply. one would think that the data on the shuffle would stay as is. Nope, it wiped the shuffle and tried to put the songs that were there back on the shuffle at the original bitrates, which of course don't fit. Reselect the downsample option, click apply, and it repeats the wipe of the shuffle, and is now (again) downsampling and sending to the shuffle. Since it's on the keyboard USB port right now, this is taking quite a while.
I'll def try on other machines, and indeed without the USB drives mounted, ah, sorry, can't really do that on the quad... the iTunes library is on one of the external USB drives...
anyway, I get what you want me to try... it might be tomorrow before I can repeat the sequence enough times to say something conclusive. This has been going on for a few days already... I've restarted the quad more times since Thursday than I have in the last year!
I'm not panicking yet, but am extremely curious what is causing this problem.
Once again, thanks... I try some more tests and post back
Michael
