Does the 4th gen shuffle work with windows 8

I have a 4th gen shuffle and my laptop, windows 8, is not recognizing it.  What can I do??

iTunes needs to be installed, to give Windows the necessary device drivers and services.  You can get the latest iTunes installer here
https://www.apple.com/itunes/
Does the shuffle's light come on in any way?  If it does, what does it do when you connect it to USB?
If the light does not come on, first make sure the docking cable plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document.

  • Is the 4th generation shuffle compatible with windows 7 64bit?

    I've had the Ipod 4th gen for awhile and my computer crashed  it had windows xp and my new computer has windows 7 64bit.   I plug in my ipod thinking it might work after downloading itunes an the ipod doesn't come up on Itunes and says error 28 when I check devices in the computer.
    I don't remember which version of Itunes I had on the crashed xp computer   any suggestions? 

    Hmmm....okay, plug it in, and when it displays that yellow triangle message, open a utility called "device manager" (just search for it in the start menu if you cannot find it)...then in device manager, try find the device that is your iPod in the list of devices, and then click uninstall...then when it uninstalls, unplug your iPod and put it back in, and it should start your installation from scratch. :) let me know if it works :)

    Does adobe audition 1.5 work with windows 8?

    Probably not. It doesn't even work properly on many Win 7 installs. But before waiting a hundred years for someone to provide the definite answer, you can always try yourself, of course...

  • Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

    Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

  • My scanner on the MF4370dn will not work with Windows 8 or 8.1.

    I have a Canon MF4370dn which the scanner portion has not worked right since I got a computer with windows 8 and will not work at all since I downloaded windows 8.1.
    I have reloaded the scanner tools, tried the Presto! PageManager that came with the oomputer. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the scanner from the site.
    It worked with Windows 7 fine, but that computer no longer is functional and I use my scanner often.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Fixed my own problem by redownloading and installing the Windows 8 (x64) drivers and the toolbox software. Thanks anyway.

  • How does the shake to shuffle work on ipod touch 4g?

    So, i want to know how does the shake to shuffle work, i opened the music player and started playing a song but when i shake the ipod, nothing happens, the option of shuffle on the screen is still white and when the song currently playing ends, the next one in alphabetical order starts. The shake to shuffle option in settings is On.

    The iPod can only tether via Bluetooth for internet connectivity to an iPhone. It will connect to other phones to tether for internet connectivity if the phones can act like a wifi hotspot.

  • Does the Citrix ICA client work with Safari for Windows XP?

    I really like safari for XP so far. However, I use the Citrix ICA client software to remotely access programs from a server at work. I tried following instructions on the Citrix knowledge base site for installing the client for Firefox, etc. since they did not have any info on Safari for windows. Please help, or I will be stuck using Explorer. Thanks.

    The Citrix ICA client doesn't work with Safari on a Mac. Given the number of bugs and other problems with the Safari 3 Beta for Windows, I'd guess that the chances of Citrix working with this release are slim to none. However, the Citrix ICA client works well with Firefox 2.0, in case you're interested in trying it.
