HT1477 Ipod Shuffle Set up Help

Trying to set up an ipod shuffle on a windows 7 computer with itunes and nothing is happening. any ideas?

This is the first time you are trying to use this shuffle with this computer?  It's the current 4th shuffle?
If it's new, make sure the plug on USB docking cable is completely inserted into the headphones jack of the shuffle.

If that's not the problem, what does shuffle's light do (if anything) when you connect it to USB.

  • IPod Shuffle Set-Up Problem

    I just received my new iPod Shuffle (2nd generation) and am trying to get it working, but all it does is blink an amber light at me. When I plugged it in, I at first plugged it into my keyboard, but then read the directions and shame-facedly plugged it directly into my computer. Could that have caused the problem?
    At any rate, I never got the Start-Up Assistant to help me get started. iTunes has been downloading my entire library onto the Shuffle without my prompting, but the light still just blinks amber.
    I've already tried the "5 R's" mentioned in iPod help (Reset, Retry, Reinstall, Restart, and Restore), but even after the restore, I didn't get a Start-Up Assistant like the help told me I would.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation HELP NEEDED !!!

    I have an iPod shuffle 2nd generation, the years suppoort is up and apple have done their best to drop me when all I really need is some technical know how not a huge overhaul of my iPod shuffle! And so here I am my last resort to try and sort this very frustrating issue out.
    Basically I loaded my suffle with songs and gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. We plugged it into the car  (via usb) worked fine also the HD ready TV via the usb docking bay it comes with no problem!!! Sounds lovely so far, but alas the gadget was loved but not the music.
    So we plugged it into my girlfriends laptop, loaded with music in iTunes (latest version). Synced it with this pc and reloaded the music from her laptop. Sounds easy so far but from then on it wont play in the car via usb or the TV!!!! This is so annoying and frustrating so typical of apple in my opinion! I have reset and restored the device umpteen times via iTunes even downloaded the restore software and ran it as an XP proggy as apple hasnt updated it to later versions of windows and still it wont work. The car says its an empty USB yet it plays fine in the car via the 3.5 jack but of coarse we loose all the functionality of the built in car audio control on the wheel etc! And using the device by taking eyes of the road could be disatrous for the misses! The TV shows iTunes folder, Music folder even 3 extra folders F0,0 F01 and F02 but all are empty according to it! But in iTunes obviously the shuffle is full and loaded and it plays fine via the jack plug!
    And so can anyone help shed light why it worked fine through the USB bay supplied with the iPod in the car and the TV until we reassociated with another PC with latest version of iTunes installed. Can this be fixed! Or is it yet another Apple annomoly never to be fixed and brushed under the carpet of rotten cores!
    We both run latest version of windows 7 ultimate with latest version download from apple of iTunes.
    Sincerely!

    the best place to start with that message is here:

  • IPod Shuffle - strange problem HELP!!!!

    Hello,
    few days ago my iPod shuffle suddenly stopped playing. In the first place I thought it was a battery. But after over a 8hrs of charging, restoring software etc. it looks like that: after sliding the button into one of the two play modes only the battery led lights up green, but the bigger led in the front doesn't give any sign of life.
    It doesn't react to pressing Play/Pause button, once it did actually play, but for mayba a quather of second. Other time - i saw a green and orange light blinking vely dimmly for about 0.5 seconds and then nothing happened.
    What could be the problem?
    Best regards

    If you wnat a powered usb port then all you need is a powered usb hub, depends where abouts you are in the world on where to purchase one

    Hi bizzyboy,
    I would first try going through the troubleshooting assistant for your iPod shuffle (4th generation):

    Take care!

  • HT1477 Ipod Shuffle Gen 4. Not holding charge.

    So my Ipod isnt holding its Charge. I just got a new Gen 4 Shuffle for Christmas. And it keeps on not holding charge. I had it on charger Saturday, my computerdid not go to sleep. Had a green light. Turn it on today, and its flashing red. What is going on?

    Hello shadowknightpaladin
    If you are using the new layout and selecting your iPod shuffle to setup syncing, the battery charge should be right underneath your iPod shuffle name. Also you can see a charge if you bring the Sidebar back, then you can see it next the iPod shuffle name. Don’t forget that you can look at your iPod shuffle to see your charge status.

  • Mi iPod shuffle no reacciona, help!

    lo enchufo a mi macbook, o a la corriente, despues de 8 segundos prende una luz roja permanece 5 segundos y no vuelve a reaccionar.
    el problema surgió cuando unas amigas lo utilizaron hasta agotar la batería completa.

    Rough translation via Google Translate:
    My PC does not recognize my ipod shuffle 3rd generación.No I get anywhere, or itunes. I comprabado the connecting cable and its fine. I conecatado in different USBs and does not recognize it. I can do? IPod plays through the headphones perfectly.
    Have you checked to make sure the connections on each end (with the end going into the Shuffle and the other end in the USB port) to make sure they are nice and snug?
    What happens if you try and reset the Shuffle with it still connected to your PC?

    Has this Shuffle ever been able to sync with this PC or is this the first time you are trying to connect it?  I assume you are running the latest version of iTunes?

  • HT1477 ipod shuffle 3rd gen is not charging

    When I place my ipod shuffled 3rd gen into the charging dock it does not charge.   Other ipods are able to charge in the dock but not this particular ipod.   Is there some kind of reset besides turning off and on for the shuffle?

    Has this 3G Shuffle ever been able to charge from this particular dock or is the first time you have tried connecting it?  Does the dock's manufacturer state that the dock is capable of charging a 3G Shuffle?
    Does the iPod still charge when you connect it to a USB port on your PC/Mac or when you connect it to a USB wall adapter?

  • IPOD SHUFFLE I NEED HELP! I WOULD LOVE U 4EVERRR

    update. second time i pressed restore but didnt work "disk error" film something. and most of the time it says can't mount ipod.
    I think my comp reconizes it, but when i go to my comp and try to open the ipod. It says error or say there isnt anything in it.

  • Can't rate podcasts to order playback on iPod shuffle 4th generation

    I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation with VoiceOver and listen to many podcasts. I like to use the rating system (5 stars, 4 stars, etc.) to order the playback.
    This has worked well on my iPod shuffle 2nd generation, but the Rating column does not respond when I add podcasts to the Podcast section on my 4th generation iPod shuffle.

    Hello, klmc29,
    I would check out this Apple support document on how to delete music from your iPod. It sounds like you are trying to delete music as if you had your iPod shuffle set up to manually sync, but in actuality, your iPod shuffle is set to sync automatically, which requires a different method for deleting music from your iPod.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello Polgas Epic Ride,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod shuffle 4th generation. 
    The iPod shuffle Dock is only compatible with the iPod shuffle 2nd generation as seen here:

    You will need to use the Apple iPod shuffle USB Cable, which is compatible with the 3rd and 4th generation iPod shuffle:

  • I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!

    I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!  Is there any way around this?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?
