I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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.

The document provides some possible causes, and things to try, including doing a Restore if the other suggestions do not apply or do not work.

I have the first generation ipod shuffle. I was wandering if apple can still fix them.

I have the first generation ipod shuffle. I was wandering if apple can still fix this ipod. please let me know.

Considering the cost for a new current gen shuffle, I don't think it will be an economical repair. That USB connector is connected to a very thin ribbon cable that runs up the shuffle inside the case. If its USB connector came off and is lost, that means the ribbon cable got torn off. So the shuffle will need to be disassembled and a new part (USB connector with its ribbon cable) installed. And that's significant labor.
However, if you are good at fixing small things

I've done it before. You'll need to acquire a broken iPod shuffle 1st gen, but one that has a working USB connector. That's the most common failure for these iPods, so make sure it is described as being recognized by the computer/iTunes or something like, "It works but the battery is dead."

What was the complete wording of the error message? Usually an error number is also given.
Maybe:
ERROR (1)
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore

I have a 4th generation iPod shuffle which does not show up in windows or iTunes. But my iPhone does any suggestions?

I have a 4th generation iPod shuffle which is not recognised in windows or iTunes when I connect to the computer , yet I have no problem when I connect my iPhone. I have installed the latest iTunes. Can anybody help me?

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

I HAVE AN FIRST GENERATION IPOD, WHAT APPS CAN I DOWNLOAD TO IT

I have a first generation ipod touch that i am trying to download apps to for my daughter, what apps are compatable with this version. It will not let me upgrade the software

Not many. At this point, many applications focus on the current version of software, which is iOS 6.0.1. You might have to find out for yourself to see which ones are compatible, but you may be out of luck for many. Also, you have a first generation iPod touch. It's been 5 years since that was released, and many apps have updated at least hundreds of times. There is luck, however; larger games can possibly still support your version. Also, if you're in the App Store on the iPod touch, go to the bottom of the app page and see what version it supports. I hope this helped.

Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano!

Hello! I have a first generation Ipod Nano! Unfortunately he is not working as it used to, in this regard, I would like to clarify: Can I change it at the official Apple store, a new one? If so, how much will it cost? (no money to buy a new Ipod, and I would like to change to the new surcharge).
In advance, thank you!

At an Apple Store they will give you 10% off the price of an new one if you recycle your old one.
But if you have a 1st Generation iPod you need to go this route: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano_replacement/

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I
Jay

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

HT1510 how do I continue to charge my ipod shuffle once the computer automatically turns off?

How do I continue to charge my ipod shuffle once the computer automatically turns off from lack of imput.

If the shuffle's light turns off, it is not charging. The computer needs to be active, so that the USB port has power. You'll need to set the computer so that it turns off the display after inactivity, but the computer remains "awake."
Or, you can get a USB power adapter, like this

and charge the shuffle on the power adapter.

HT1476 Hi, I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.4 and the phone keeps going of whenver battery level drops to 20% and it give the warning. It turns off immediately after I dismiss the warning message. I LOCKED THE PHONE AT 21% and I was able to play music

Hi, I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.4 and the phone keeps going of whenver battery level drops to 20% and it give the warning. It turns off immediately after I dismiss the warning message. I LOCKED THE PHONE AT 21% and I was able to play music to 4% which means there is no problem with the battery, this seems to be a programming error.
Earlier suggestion include that the battery has a dead cell but it wouldnt keep playing music for over 2 hours it it had a dead cell.

My issue with IOS 7.1 and higher is my Bluetooth for the phone still works...no problem but the music does not work with bluetooth...I have an Acura TSX 2010...Acura said there are no incidents reported, but me...I just upgraded to IPhone 6 and still no good....as soon as i hit the AUX button it say USB...not bluetooth...ugh

First Generation Ipod Shuffle: Play count and Last Played date

I have a 1st Gen Ipod shuffle that works great in all other respects but it doesn't track the number of "plays" or the "last play" dates. Which means I can't use the "Smart Playlists" Itunes feature to be sure that the music on it stay fresh, non-repetitive. Another problem is if I listen to a podcast on the Ipod Shuffle then in Itunes the podcast appears as though it has never played before. This gets confusing as I listen to a number of podcasts.
I have tried resetting and restoring the Ipod shuffle. Is there anything I can do to it to make it track the number of plays or last played dates?

All my tracks should be MP3s or AAC. I ripped them myselfs with iTunes. I may have bought some songs directly off of record labels or some other online music store, but I own my music legally whether I bought it on CD or got given it by magazines or record labels.
I went to the gym today. I set the shuffle to random. Some songs were synched back to iTunes but they weren't the songs I listened to, at least not all of them. Some of them may have been the songs I listened to last workout, at least one or two of the songs updated I did listen to today.
I listened to some other songs last night on my main Mac so it is easy to determine which songs iTunes updated this morning.
I haven't had much time to play with Match. It is still updating and uploading, it has 6000 songs to go. That means in a half month of trying it has managed to find and/or upload a little over 1000 songs actually close to 2000 now. It is something, but it isn't the service I was sold. All my songs and playlists were supposed to be available in the cloud. That hasn't happened and in the case of my smart playlists will never happen.
I'll read you link, but I wrote a blog posting how I was disappointed with the service so far.
Thanks!

HT1655 i have my 2nd generation ipod shuffle and i have had it for about 2 years now. I have fully charged it and it still wont play. i have tried everything what should i do?

what should i do?

I don't know what "everything" is, unless you state them, so I have to ask if you did this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If that does not help, is the iPod recognized by iTunes when it is connected to USB? If so, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Settings screen. There should be a Restore button there. Restore will erase the iPod, install the latest software, and give it the default settings. After it completes, load some songs on it and try it again. Hopefully, it will play now.
If that does not help either, please post back.
