I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug it it, itunes recognizes it but the light flashes green a few times and then stops. It is not charging. Is the battery dead or can something else be wrong? Any advice??

To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery.  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery.

  • My wife ran the battery down in her shuffle.  When I plug it in to the wall or computer, it will blink red solid for about 3 seconds and then shut off.  Is the battery that dead, or is something else wrong.  ITunes does not show the shuffle

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • I have an iPhone 6.  For the first two weeks my bluetooth worked fine but then started having issues.  Now, although it shows that it is connected to Bluetooth, I can't hear any of the calls.  The radio continues to play.  Please help!

    Hello there, Srushevics.
    It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
    To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
    Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
    On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
    Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
    Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
    Sign in to iCloud.com.
    Select Find My iPhone.
    Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
    Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
    You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
    After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    Pedro.

    Can apple help me find my iPod touch 5g??? I have already reported it to the police and they haven't called back, i also have the find my iPhone app in it but I don't have the location thingy turned on so what else can I do to locate it pleazz help this iPod is relly valuable to me I had gotten it for Christmas and now I proved that I can't be trusted with it HELP :c

    Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
    Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
    Regards.

  • When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync

    When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.

    Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
    If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

  • When I plug my shuffle in, it blinks yellow several times and then goes out. It wont charge

    When I plug my shuffle in, it will blink yellow several times and then go out. It wont charge. I do not see this as a "warning" light in the PDF handbook. Any suggestions?

    Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
    In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

  • T500 shuts down/or freezes when I plug in my AC adapter and now will not start up.

    I have had my T500 for two years and I have had endless problems with this laptop. My latest issue started with the computer waking up from sleep mode with a black screen. The computer just froze there and I had to force it to shutdown. When I finally managed to get it started again, the computer gave me an alert saying that a display driver had stopped working. The computer ran fine for a while before it would issue the blue screen of death then have the same black screen issue again and shutdown. Then it got to the point where if I have my computer plugged in it would not even get to the BIOS screen, it would simply loop-restart over and over till I unplugged it, pulled out the battery, put the battery back and turned it on again. Then it would not start at all if I had my adapter plugged in and if I plugged it in at all while the computer was running, it would freeze and after a minute would shut down and again continuously try to start up. Now, the computer will not start in any way, plugged in or no. The lights all turn on like it normally does when it starts up, but then it shuts off and repeats the same process over and over again.
    I have no idea what to do this time and unfortunately being a student I do not have enough money to buy an external harddrive to back up everything on this computer. Frankly with all the problems I have had with this thing, I am considering just throwing it out.

    Try making a bootable Ubuntu disc and running that for a while. It's possible your Windows install is hosed.

  • I downloaded the latest update and now there is just a plug showing Itunes on screen and it will not open the Ipad....

    I just downloaded the latest update on I Pad 2 and now the screen shows the plug and I tunes? It will not start up. I have plugged it in and nothing. It is fully charged.

    That means that it's gone into recovery mode. You will have to connect it by cable to your computer's iTunes and that should prompt you to reset it back to factory defaults, you can then restore to your backup (or just resync your content to it)

  • HT4946 I synced my phone (3GS), then it was stolen. I have an old 3G and when I plugged into itunes I could not get my old data to sync. I never "backed up" my phone but I synced it and restored. How do I find the data to put on my new phone?

    I have precious photos and videos that were lost, please help!

    Syncing does not backup photos.
    Backing up only backs up the photos taken with the device but is not a solution to maintaining you precious photos.
    It is the user's responsibility to copy the photos taken with the device off the device to the computer.  Same goes for videos taken with the device.
    Media on the device has never been included in a backup.
    Sorry, but if you've lost the device (or it's been stolen) and you've failed to manage your data on the device, it is gone.

  • My iTunes on the computer first would not sync my iPod. It would not restore my iPod. And now when I click on iTunes on my desktop it will not open up!!!! It I'll do NOTHING! Help!

    Itunes on my computer won't open!!! I double click on it and there is no response . Help!

    Try taking it to the nearest Apple Store. They should have computers there that they can use to get your iPhone out of recovery mode. Make an appointment first.

  • When I convert movies, its fine at first but then goes out of sync. Help.

    I convert The Rock into mp4 and it was fine at the beginning but the sound and vdieo gradually went out of sync. It eventually was about a whole 2 seconds behind. Is there any programs that I can buy/download that will help solve this.
