Green and Orange Flashing lights - ipod still wont work after Reset Utility

I bought my daughter an ipod shuffle 1st gen last year. It stopped working, did everything I was suppose to do, sent it back to Apple, they sent me a new one. Now the stupid thing is flashing green and orange lights at me! I've tried restoring it with Reset Utility, but they are still blinking at me. This is supposed to be a newly refurbished ipod, I only recieved it today, so by rights it should be working...am I doing something wrong? It is charging, it is recognised in my computer but not in itunes. What is going on? Can anybody help...this is so frustrating.

Hold on... Alternating green and orange for 2 seconds means there's no playable music on it. Alternating green and TWO orange for 10 seconds means that it has to be restored. WHICH light pattern are you referring to?
What do you mean it's not recognised in iTunes? Does it NOT show up in the left most (Sources) panel?

  • Orange Flashing light, ipod is recongnized

    Alright I have had my ipod for about 10-11 months now, and just in the past couple days it has started acting up. When I plug in my ipod shuffle, it shows up in itunes saying that "Updating ipod, do not disconnect" and then it goes on to say "ipod update is complete". It's like my shuffle is updated but not completley. I think it happened after i downloaded the latest itunes software but then got it to work briefly after i downloaded the latest ipod updater. I don't know what to do.

    Well I did what B Noir had to say here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2665631#2665631
    and now I can put songs on my shuffle, take them off and the update process completes so I can safely remove my shuffle from my computer but I still can't turn my ipod on dispite it be fully charged.

  • HT5731 How do I make my Ipod touch work? When I try to purchase songs it ask me for my apple ID  password it tells me its wrong. I have reset it and changed it but it still wont work. Help!!

  • 4th gen ipod touch wont work after 6.0 update? stuck on boot screen

    last night i downloaded the new os for apple. i plug it in to the comp and its in recovery mode? anyway then i install the update and restore, (that was the only option i could do) but now my ipod after restarting wont go past the boot menu, also my computer no longer recognizes my ipod any help anywhere?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Liquify filter in photoshop cc still wont work after full reinstall

    halp.
    macbook pro running osx 10.8.4
    8 gig ram.
    I've uninstalled all adobe software, used the adobe cleaner, reinstalled the applications manager. nothing works.

    When you say nothing works, what exactly does that mean? Does the Liquify dialog come up? Can you see a preview? Does the filter crash Photoshop? Had it been working before? Did it stop working after a Photoshop or OS upgrade? Also posting your Photoshop system info would help to figure this out.

  • "1" key still not working after reset

    I posted a while ago about my 1 key not working on my laptop (iBook G3 800MHz)or an external keyboard. I was advised to try resetting PRAM and then PMU. I finally did both with some help and the process did not fix the "1" key. I am only able to type a "1" by using the num lock key on the laptop or the 10-key pad on the external keyboard.
    Does anyone have any more suggestions as to how I can try to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance, (and thanks for the suggestion about PRAM and PMU; I liked learning)
    P.S. A friend of mine told me to hide the keyboard .plist from the preferences library but there was no such plist. Is this a difference between 10.3.9 and the new 4.0 OSX? I saw the keyboard .plist on her machine but when I got home I didn't have one.

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the speech key or the listening key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen won't work, light flashing green and orange

    My 2nd gen ipod shuffle won't work and the light is flashing green and orange.  Or green, orange, orange, orange.  I've Reset, Restarted, Restored and Re-installed, so before I chuck it out I wondered if there were any other suggestions to get it working?  Thanks,

    Sounds like it's still under warranty (one year). Take it back for replacement.

    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. I reset my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do i do???

    I have the iPod 5th gen. and my iPod wont connect to my wifi. I've tried everything. i rest my wifi networks and it still wont work. What do I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
