How do I get my iPod shuffle to be recognized ?

It was recognized the first time I connected it to my pc, it synced, which may have 'over-filled' it with music (there were some error messages).
Now pc does not recognize it.  It does not show battery level, either
I've tried the online troubleshooting.
Any other suggestions ?

First you will need to install Itunes and the Ipod updater both of which you can get from apple's website. Than I would transfer my music from the old machine with Data Disks made in Itunes or send them over a network. Than plug the Ipod in see yes I want to link this Ipod to a new machine and you should be good. One side note if you won't be using the old PC any more you need to deauthorize it when your done by clicking Advanced>deauthorize computer.

  • How do I get my iPod shuffle icon to appear on computer screen?

    When I first set my iPod shuffle to download music from my computer the shuffle icon appeared and now it doesn't. I need to delete some of the download from the shuffle but the icon does appear when connected. iTunes is on but no shuffle icon. What do I need to do?

  • How do I get my ipod shuffle/nano to play music in my 2009 hyundai elantra's ipod usb port? It reads the device (ipod) and says its "empty"?

    I have a 2009 hyundai elantra with an ipod usb port, when I try to hook up my shuffle with its usb connector to my car, the stereo dashboard says its reading the device and then says the device is empty...therefore no music gets played or heard. What am I doing wrong? Or is there some sort of cable i need to be using with my ipod to get it to play in my car?Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Either you have accidently posted this in the wrong forum (this is the LiveType discussion board), or the fora are screwing up again (if they ever stopped). To answer your question, though, you need some kind of converter that will export only the audio. I'm sure there are many free solutions out there, but not being familiar with Windows, the only one I know off the top of my head is Quicktime Pro ($30).
    Either way, your iPod problems shouldn't be affecting your caps lock key.

  • How do I get my IPod Touch to be recognized by ITunes

    A few weeks ago I brought my Ipod Touch in to connect to ITunes to resynch (bring it up to date). It had been some time since I had done that even though the IPod was working just fine tethered to by 2012 VW Jetta by way of in-vehicle connection. When ITunes connected the IPOd basicaally stopped working and I have not been able to get it back on line. ITunes said it was an IPod in recovery mode when I first connected it so I let it go through the motions. Now when connected to my IMac the screen lights up and the Apple logo comes on for about 30 seconds, then the screen goes black again and the whole process starts again - Screen lights up, Apple logo comes on for 30 nseconds and then it goes black and starts again. The Itunes never again sees the IPod on the left hand side of the screen.
    Any clues on what is going on and how to the solve the problems would be helpful. This is an IPod that would not upgrade beyond 5.? I know I purchase it several years ago, but the exact date escapes me.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it.  If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list.  When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
    To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

    When you select a playlist on the shuffle, it should play in playlist order (when the switch is set to play in order).

  • HT1719 can't get my ipod shuffle to work in new fiesta

    I collected my new fiesta on sunday 14th Oct 2013, but can't get my ipod shuffle ( 4th generation) to work or sync with the car.
    I am not technical so simple answers would really be appreciated.
    thanks

    It's possible that your car's audio system is not designed to work with an iPod shuffle.  You should look at the car audio system's documentation to see what types of devices are supported when connected to the USB port on the car audio system.
    An iPod does not "sync" with the car audio system.  The system is only using the device connected to the USB port as a storage device.  It would be the same as connecting a simple USB flash drive, with songs files on it, to that port.  The car audio system reads the song files and does the playing.  The iPod is not doing the playing.  So the question is, does the car audio system know HOW to find song files on an iPod?  You may want to check the settings screen on the car audio system, to see if there is a specific setting that tells it you are connecting an iPod.
    If the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input port (which looks like the headphones jack on the shuffle), you can connect the shuffle (or any device with standard audio output) to the car audio system using something like this
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    and play your shuffle through the car audio system.

  • Why can't I get my ipod shuffle to do anything when I know the battery is full

    Why can't I get my Ipod shuffle to do anything? Before it stopped playing, saying or doing any thing I checked battery and it was full! This has happened before with another Ipod shuffle and I took it back. well, my new one is doing it. It plays for a while and then it decides to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Headphones in properly. Check !
    Battery full. Check !
    I can not even see a light when I switch it on and off. No voice over to tell me anything. Zero music!
    Played music for about 1-2 hours max. Should be more than this! Checked battery before it stopped anyway and this was fine.
    Help!

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod 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 the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:

  • HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:

    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):
