HT1435 My Ipod Shuffle no longer seen by PC or Itunes

After the latest Itunes update, my IPOD Shuffle is no longer seen by PC or Itunes. I cannot change or modifly playlists. Ipod still takes a charge.

If you have not since having this problem, be sure to restart your PC. You should also do this to reset the shuffle

If that does not help, you can try shutting down the PC and disconnecting all USB devices, including any hub. Start up with only a standard USB keyboard and mouse connected (if normally used). Run iTunes and connect shuffle to a direct USB port. See if there is any difference in connectivity.

The wheel on my iPod shuffle no longer works (forward and reverse music, volume, etc). Music plays, but otherwise have no control. Reset device, but problem persists. Anyone have a suggestions?

Hello khcumiskey,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you reset the iPod and the issue persists, the next step would be to seek service for your iPod shuffle.

IPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes.

iPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes. Windows Vista and iTunes, all updates current. Cables secure & connected. Device driver will not load. iPad will connect when tried with several other computers. When I try to connect it will hang iTunes until I re-boot. iPad does NOT appear in Windows Explorer either.

Oh, so the iPad DOES work fine connected to the same computer and the same port. I thought you said it did not in the first post, but maybe you got that working (or I misunderstood before).
NOTE: When things are working properly, the shuffle will not appear in Windows Explorer (except when actively syncing), unless you have Enable disk use turned on for the shuffle. So not seeing it in Windows Explorer may not be a problem.
Is this shuffle a new purchase... so it did not previously work for you on this computer? If so, make sure that the shuffle end of the USB cable is fully inserted into the headphones jack. The fit can be tighter than expected, and it may seem connected, but is not. For a surprising number of people, this was the problem.
In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of window) visible. If it is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When there are no devices connected, the heading DEVICES should not appear in the sidebar. When you connect your iPad, DEVICES should appear, with the iPad listed below. If you connect the shuffle, it is be added to the list under DEVICES. To confirm, you do not see the shuffle listed there under DEVICES, when it is connected?
When you connect the shuffle, does its light on the shuffle do anything?

Ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes

ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes and when in its dock blinking orange.

I believe blinking orange means the iPod shuffle is in use by the computer (in some way). That's actually good, because it means it is at least recognized as being connected to USB.
If you have not already, be sure to try shutting down the computer completely (power off), with the iPod NOT connected. Also, follow this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Turn on your computer. Run iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle.

My 2nd generation iPod Shuffle won't charge or sync in iTunes.

As the title says, my second generation iPod shuffle will not charge when connected to itunes. I ventured to the apple store to seek another connection cable after my first one was lost, but alas, this has no effect. When plugged in, my shuffle stays dormant; it is not regognized in iTunes, and the LED light stays gray. Any Help to this Problem?

I can't get my used iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices. Any ideas?

Which iPod shuffle model is it? This article about syncing the shuffle shows the four types.

As a test, you can try shutting down (powering off) and disconnecting all USB devices (including hub). Start it up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if it's not a laptop). Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port.

Ipod shuffle no longer recognised on my iTunes - please help

my ipod shuffle is no longer being recognised on my itunes. the ipod device is working fine. a few days ago when i went to change some songs on my playlist it said i needed to update my software which i did, only i did have some problems and it said it had to start my ipod shuffle up again and then it said it no longer recongised the device and that an error had occurred and now i plug it into my machine. the green light comes on so it knows it is there but itunes doesn't pick this up and i cannot access my ipod shuffle through it anymore. don;t suppose there is anyone out there who has had something similar happen and can offer me some advice on why this has happened and what i need to do next

I had the same problem and read here and some other places hours of solutions that part of the worked and part didn't.
Eventually I tried something simple and it worked for me:
1- Go to the WI-FI icon (up at the menu bar, at the top of the screen) (-I am assuming that you don't know where it is, if you do, just go to 2- there is a triangle with bars and rounded edge. This is the WIFI icon).
2- Click on it and then disable the WIFI connection (click on "Turn WI-FI off").
3- Wait some seconds and turn it on again.
4- My iPod appears in the iTunes side bar now.
That's all I do and, as I said, it works for me.
Hope it will work for you too.

I found my old iPod shuffle and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!

I found my old iPod shuffle (3rd gen) and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, iTunes wouldn't recognise it at first so following forums on here I managed to find some apple software to reset and update the shuffle! This worked and the iPod shuffle was then recognised by iTunes but now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!
Please can some one help! I've been searching on here for a few days now and have tried numerous suggestions from other people's questions but nothing has worked yet!

You can try this:
I am assuming you are running Windows:
Plug in your iPad to the PC.
Now go to "Start"   - "devices and printers"
Is your iPad showing there ?   (you may have to scroll down)
If you can see it - right click the iPad icon and select "Troubleshoot"
If the USB driver is missing/incorrect it will tell you.

IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
Thanks in advance.

After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!
