I need help with my ipod shuffle!

when i plug my 4th gen ipod shuffle in my pc, a light comes on but goes out and it wont show up in my computer or in itunes. What's wrong?

If you have not already, shut down (power off) your computer. Disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse, if nornally used. Do this to reset the shuffle

Turn on computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.

I still need help with my ipod shuffle(first gen)

my usb dosnt reconize ipod, i already have itunes..i have no clue about ipods, i just got it.is there supossed to be other software other then itunes, for the ipod?

Hello, Mjj2005
If you are running Windows OS. The requirements to use an iPod or shuffle are
Latest version of iTunes and Quicktime
You can get the latest version of iTunes with Quicktime by going to
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and choose Windows 2000/XP
There is no other software or hardware required.
Some Quick Tips. Try using different USB Ports on your PC and see if iTunes shows your shuffle. Your shuffle is going to appear in the left hand side of iTunes.
If you open iTunes and look at the left hand side. Look for an area called Devices. If you see this right below that will be your Shuffle name.
For better assistance with your iPod you might want to call Apple Support at
1-800-275-2273 where a helpful agent can guide you through these articles and assist you with any other questions you may have about your shuffle.

Need help with my ipod nano

Hi,
I need help with my ipod nano.
I haven't turned it on in a while and suddenly it stops working when I try to turn it on again.
Sometimes it displays:
"www.apple.com/support/ipod"
And right now it's displaying "OK to disconnect".
Could somebody please advice what should I do?
Thank you

I need help.
I have my IPOD nano for a while now and about a week ago. My husband bought one for his newphew and he had me download all the songs into the new IPOD (2nd Generation). Now Im having problems with mine. Everytime I try to charge and usually the screen will pop up to my original music player. This is what it says now when I open or charge my IPOD.
"The File iTunes Library.it! cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Now, that I listen to it...all the music skip. Please help me..what should I do??
Thank you

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

My friend needs help with her ipod

My friend needs help with her Ipod. Here's what happened. She connected her Ipod to a casette adapter and the ipod just froze. She started doing the reset but to no avail. What do you think cause this? She really needs help so if anyone can suggest what to do that would be greatly appreciated.
I don't specifically know her ipod but I think that it is the Ipod 30gb.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
She needs to reset her iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if the iPod does not seem to be resetting.
If she has tried many times, along with the "tips" and the iPod still won't reset, then she will have to wait for the iPod's battery to die and then she can charge it back up and it should work fine. The iPod should reset though.

Dad needs help with setting up shuffle on different account

Hi all ..I have a daughter with a Ipod video, and a wife with a Ipod shuffle. How can I make them work with different itune libarys on the same computor? The ipod video side is all set up. I need to get the shuffle up and running. I opened another user account on our computor, got a library opened, downloaded a cd plugged in the shuffle....won't load. I need a simle way to do this, cause I'm a simple kinda dad. I'm all messed up..open for ANY idea
gateway Windows XP

sounds like its on manual update. next time you plug it in, open itunes and open preferences. there are a couple check boxes that say something like disk mode, open itunes when you plug in ipod, i don't remember the others, my ipods in the car. but they should be pretty self explanatory. or, when you plug it in, try dragging a song over into the ipod.

Need Help with 2nd gen shuffle

I recently purchased a 2nd gen shuffle from a friend. He used Mac and I have Windows Vista so I knew I would have to restore so it would configure to my Windows Vista machine. I did this, renamed and synced some music to it, charged it with no problem. My husband took it with him to work and listened with no problems. He completely used it til the battery went down and needed charging. I hooked it up thru high speed USB port. Itunes didn't recognize it, there were no lights...not even a red or orange light at all. My computer nor device manager recognize it and still no lights on the shuffle period. I've had it hooked up to different ports and no help. I have a nano that works perfectly thru the same port I used so I know it isn't the port. I've tried restarting the computer....no help. I saw the seperate program that you can download for restoring but it says it can't be used with windows vista so I can't try that. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I really could use some help with this. Thanks in advance for any insight.

And you will have to take me seriously here but, by using the on/off switch, turn it on, count 15 Mississippi and turn it off, counting 15 Mississippi. Do this three times, leave it in the off position and reconnect the ipod to the dock, then the dock to the computer.
Let me know how it goes.

I Really Need Help With My IPod!!!

Ok. Whenever I push a button on my ipod the apple pops up and then an ipod with a sad face pops up. I have reset it. That has done nothing. Whenever I put it into disk mode i'll connect it to my computer then the computer will read it but after a few seconds it will come out of disk mode and the computer won't read it whenever its not in disk mode. I can't even restore it because when i bring the updater up it says please plug in ipod. I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Suggestions when you run into a problem of a Sad iPod icon or a folder icon with exclamation point with your iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

I need help restarting my ipod shuffle using windows vista.

When plugging my ipod shuffle 2nd gen into my computer it cannot be recognized. Itunes tells me to download the rest utility which of course only works with windows xp or 2000 and i am running windows vista and know no one who still runs windows xp or 2000. Im no where near an ipod store and itunes customer service 1800 number has been useless. Please help all i want to do is go running but i cant do that without my music!

Hello ChristinaHeras,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1842
We recommend using the latest version of iTunes to restore iPod because this will address the file system issue and will also defragment the iPod drive. Although you can use the Chkdsk utility to fix file system errors on the drive mapped to iPod, Chkdsk will not defragment the drive.
Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Tip: Make sure you always eject iPod properly and that you wait for the orange light to stop blinking before disconnecting iPod shuffle. Read Understanding iPod shuffle status lights to learn more about iPod shuffle status lights.
This issue may be more likely to occur on iPod shuffle if iPod shuffle's file system has become heavily fragmented. A restore will eliminate fragmentation. Chkdsk will not.
Best of luck,
Mario

I need help with my Ipod touch 4th restoring to factory settings

I have posted several posting because I need help but somehow everybody seems to ignore the subject or they just don't want to go there. I wonder why.
Anyways, I'm in critical bind. I still have iTune 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6. However, when I try to synch my Ipod to my Mac I get a message that I need to restore my Ipod to factory settings.
The thing that I'd like to know if I restore to factory settings if I could select which verions iTune I could select. I have 10.7 installed and also have a copy in TM.
I don't want to use iTune V.11

Ana
I appreciate your input, but you still haven't told me how to restore the iPod w/o getting V. 11. So far for what I read it says that if I choose to restore back to factory settings that it will install the latest version of iTune. Is there any way that I can overide this? According to you, it sounds like I could but still you haven't share with me how to do it
Illlaass
Here is the thing I have iTune 10 installed but when I tried to synch the iPod is when I get the message that I have to restore it to the factory setting. I'm willing to go along with it provided that I can select iTune 10.7. I have it installed in my backups.

Yu cant. Y have to restore and tjhus erase the iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
You may be able to get some data off the restored iPod via
