iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Has this iPod Shuffle ever been able to successfully connect with this PC and sync with iTunes or is the first time you are connecting the iPod Shuffle to this PC?

HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer. The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there? Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

Hi Brittcal,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would recommend making sure you've run your Windows software updates, and then follow the steps to remove iTunes and reinstall the latest version. Here are a few articles to help you with this.

Ipod 4g 32G not turning on, not charging (on multiple cords, both comp and wall, 4 20min), not being detected by Itunes or Windows 7 64bit OS, will not reset, tried taking it out of "DFU", NO DMG, Itunes up2date, All I'm getting is a blank black scrn

Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
Holding home and power button will not reset.
Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.

See if you missed anything here:
- 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.

IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12

iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/

See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT201413 My ipod shuffle is not recognised in itunes or my computer. I have tried most of the remedies - but nothing seems to work.

I have a brand new ipod shuffle and my computer and itunes does not "see " it when I plug it in.
I have tried most of the remedies listed but still cannot get it to work - what is wrong?
Please someone help?

To all
I have managed to solve the problem with the help of the Apple Support.
I did not have a USB driver installed for the IPod. This is now fixed and is easy to do.
Hope other people can gain knowledge from my learning curve!

My iPod Shuffle is not being recognized.

Please help!
I recieved my iPod in September 2005. It has been working perfectly fine until this month. I've been trying to add more songs to my iPod. I connected my shuffle to the USB port, and all I am recieving is my iPod blinking orange. I have tried all of the three R's, yet it hasn't affected my results in any way. When trying to download the new iTunes, it would stop downloading or just disappear. If anyone has anything that could help me, please reply!
Signed,
Kelly

HT1655 ipod shuffle 2gb not being recognised by PC nor iTunes

I have bought a new iPod shuffle but iTunes and the computer do not seem to recognise it. I do not want it to sync automatically and I wonder if I pressed something incorrectly when having a go the first time. I have rebooted the PC, I have tried different ports, I have looked at the help manuals (and they keep mentioning "Devices" on iTunes which I can't see).
I thought I was going to set this up for a Christmas present - and time seems to be running out.
Can anyone help, please?

I have checked everything out and found that the inserted cable needed an extra push (when it had felt as though it had gone in properly!) see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
I have now got all my tracks on it!
Good luck to everyone else!!

New shuffle is not being detected, using 10.4.11 and 9.02 of itunes, new shuffle is not being detected, using 10.4.11 and 9.02 of itunes

Bought a new shuffle, and it won't show up and show the next steps as stated in the directions included.

As you can see from this article, your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for an iPod Shuffle purchased in 2011:
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
If your computer has a USB 2.0 port, you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard or higher and iTunes 10 or higher.

My ipod shuffle is not being recognized by Itunes.

I tried all the steps in the Apple troubleshooting guide, no luck. I'm operating a PC, the current version if ITunes and a Version 4 Shuffle. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks!

If you see it in Windows as the F drive, that is good. So, I wonder why you are not able to follow the procedure to re-assign the drive letter. If Windows sees the iPod's disk, it should appear in Disk Management.
Try shutting down the computer, and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub. Start up the computer with only standard keyboard and mouse connected, if normally used. Do this to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer (the one you use with your iPod touch).

Ipod is not being detected on itunes or windows

I've tried everything like reseting my ipod, the five r's and it still not picking up on the computer. *_HELP PLEASE_*

I did it!
XP wanted drivers for the iPod, and I used the method in this doc with one exception:
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
...when the wizard came up and asked to look for the driver, I clicked "Search for the best driver in these locations" except instead of windows/inf I went to system32/drivers and found a subfolder with USBAAPL.SYS [the driver name] in the title... it was a hidden folder so you'll have to have them visible to see it. Using that as the target for the search picked it up immediately and then everything was as before.

Phatnoise Mass USB Storage Device : Not being detected anymore by my Mac...

Basically as the title says really.
It worked perfectly fine a few months ago and now nothing at all.
When I plug the USB lead in it used to be recognized straight away.
I have tried rebooting my Mac with the device already connected and that still has not solved the problem.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Regardless of what problems you do or don't have, you need to have a backup. These computers are mechanical beasts and can fail at any time.
That being said, if I was in your place I'd try going back to 10.5.6 to see if things keep working. If you have your original install discs (if the machine came with Leopard) or the Leopard disc you used to upgrade, you could try doing an Archive & Install, and once that completes, install the 10.5.6 combo update.
If things work well there, you could just stay at 10.5.6. If you want to further test things, upgrade to 10.5.7 again and make sure you use the combo update from Apple's download page. If the 10.5.7 update breaks things again, you may want to contact the manufacturer and let them know so they can look into things.
Hope that helps--sorry for being a bit long-winded. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
