Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

My new IPod shuffle is plugged into my computer on my iTunes account but it has been blinking orange for hours. What should I do?

Hello!
I just purchased an IPod Shuffle. I have an existing account with Itunes where I have many songs in my library. I plugged in my IPod Shuffle into my computer and ITune, but it has been blinking orange for hours. I had already charged the IPod until the light turned green. So I thought it was fully charged. When I go under "file" and "device" it won't permit me to sync my IPod. What is happening? Should my IPod be on or off and does that make a difference because I have it turned on. Anyone who can provide me with some guidance it would be greatly appreciated. I am extremely frustrated and at the end of my rope.
Thank you,
Samantha

venicespent,
Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

I just bought a new ipod shuffle to relplace my old one. i thought i could just open my existing itunes account and plug in the new shuffle and it would prompt me to add the new ipod to this account. When I plug in the new ipod nothing happens at all. Nothing opens up to recognize the new ipod at all. I am up to date on itunes downloads and i restarted my computer. I have tried plugging in the new ipod several times to no avail. no acknowledgement at all. no devices at all. do i have to download itunes again each time i buy a new ipod?

i am trying to put music into my 3rd gen ipod touch and older ipod shuffle but neither are popping up on itunes, what could be the problem?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

TS3572 itunes recognizes my ipod shuffle but it wont charge

Whenever i plug my ipod shuffle into itunes it gets recognized, but for some reason it never charges. i did all the steps to reset it and it still doesnt work

You'll need to provide more info... When you connect it, the shuffle's light comes on briefly, but then goes out? Does the shuffle appear in iTunes?
Is your computer a Mac or Windows PC? If Windows, what release of Windows are you using? If Mac, what's the Mac model?
the led indicator light wont stay on as before
When you say "as before," I assume that means this shuffle worked properly before at some point. Was that with a different computer, or this same computer? If same computer, anything major that was different before when it worked properly?

How can I get my new iPod shuffle to work in my 2013 Honda Fit?

I keep getting an "unsupported device" display on the radio.

Are you connecting it to a USB port on the car audio system?
Does the car audio system have an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack? If so, you can get something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
and connect the shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system aux. audio input, set the car audio system to use that input, and play the shuffle through the car audio system.

New iPod shuffle is not detected by my pc or itunes.

This is my first iPod product so I'm not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Version 6.1/ serv. pack 1. and iTunes 10, version 10.4.0.80 . If I'm up to date, and I think I am, could it be a faulty cord? I'd appreciate the help...thank-you!
Also....I tried the shuffle on my laptop and it isn't being detected on it either.

For those of you checking this because you're having the same problem with your 3rd or 4th generation shuffle I may have found the answer. After days of searching, I came across a photo of the shuffle showing the right and wrong cord insertion. My cord when inserted into the shuffle still had about a quarter of an inch of the stem showing. You need to firmly push till you hear a snap and it will seat itself in the hole leaving nothing between it and the shuffle. Right away I got a recognition from my PC. So simple...hope it works for you too!

My computer crashed and I had to get a new one. But my adobe software license is stuck on the old one. I want to transfer it to my new computer. How do I do this?

I Need to deactivate my license on my old computer and put it on my new one, but I can't because my hard drive crashed. How do this?

Just install it on your new computer and activate it with your serial number.

One thing that might help out.
When you connect the ipod, does windows chime or sound.
If so, here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

How can I get iTunes to recognize my new iPod shuffle?

I have a new iPod shuffle, but when I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to charge it and put music on, nothing happens. It does not appear to be charging and does not show up on my iTunes. The USB port works fine, and iTunes recognizes my iPhone and iPad. Is there something I am missing here. or should I take it back to the store as defective?

Hi all :-)
I have also a problem with a new ipod shuffle
I plug it and itunes alerts me that something went wrong.
I have MBA 13" 2012 on Yosemite, Itunes is up to date
If someone has a solution. Thank you

Can I add a new Ipod Shuffle and start a new playlist under my account if my original Ipod Shuffle is full?

If my original Ipod Shuffle is full, and I want to get a new Ipod Shuffle and start a new playlist, can this be done without compromising the first playlist?

Yes. I have a 1st gen shuffle, a 2nd gen shuffle, and a "bigger" iPod (plus an iPhone). They can all connect to iTunes at the same time, and be set up independently.
However, if your old shuffle is "full," you can delete song you no longer want on it and add new songs. You don't need to get a new shuffle, just to get more space for new songs.
