IPod 2nd gen not showing in iTunes

My iPod 2nd gen hadn't been used for a while, and the battery was dead. I charged it, and connected it to my Mac Mini (1st gen). It is now continuously blinking orange but is not showing up as a device in iTunes (v. 10.6.3). According to the manual, the blinking means it's syncing in iTunes, or the iPod shuffle is enabled for disk use. I don't know what the latter means.
I'm using the original dock, but it is connected to a USB port on my external hard drive which is connected to the mini, since the 1st gen Mini doesn't have enough USB ports. (That shouldn't be a problem though, because my 3rd gen iPod nano shows up in iTunes using that same port.)
I've tried twice to get it to show up in iTunes. The first time it was already connected to the USB port but wasn't showing any lights, and it didn't show up in iTunes. I turned the shuffle off, waited 5 seconds, and turned it on again. Still didn't show up, so I manually removed it from the dock and unplugged the dock. Then I plugged the dock in again, and put the ipod firmly into the dock. Then the orange blinking lights started, but it didn't show up in iTunes that time either. I did get an error message that it had not been put away properly.
Since it wasn't showing up anywhere that I could find (iTunes, Finder, Desktop) to eject it, I shut down the computer, removed the iPod from the dock, restarted the computer, opened iTunes and then put the iPod in the dock. It still doesn't show up as a device in the left-side sidebar of iTunes where it usually does, right after Library, Store, and before Playlist). I can't put it away properly now because I can't find it to eject it. It's still blinking orange. (The right sidebar only has a message about Genius and learning to use it).
I've read previous questions similar to this, but nothing suggested there has worked. If anyone has suggestions/idea, it would be greatly appreciated.
My O.S. is 10.5.8.
Thanks,
Esther

Thanks for providing a good amount of detail.
Enable disk use is a setting (checkbox) on the shuffle's Settings tab in iTunes. It allows you to see the iPod's "disk" on the Desktop continously while it is connected, so that you can copy files to it using Finder (like it was a USB flash drive). The light blinks as a warning to eject before disconnecting, because the iPod's disk is mounted. If that checkbox is NOT checked, iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing, so the light does not blink most of the time (and you can disconnect it without ejecting).
Although you have confirmed that the USB port on the external drive (Is it an OWC miniStack?), which is the same as a powered USB hub, works with another iPod, you may want to disconnect something from a direct USB port temporarily. Connect the shuffles docking cable there, to confirm it's not the port causing the problem.
If you connect it and run Disk Utility instead of iTunes, does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, and you use a Mac, you can try using the iPod Reset Utility

IPod 4th gen not connecting to wifi?

Ok, so here is what happened,
I have had this Ipod since December 2010 I believe, haven't had any major wifi problems with it until now. the wifi has always been on and off I guess, but right now its off like never before. My mom decided to change the wifi password (ended up changing it back) and now the ipod will now connect to the wifi. I have another ipod of the same model (been around for the same time, don't ask, long story) and once the wifi password was changed back, that ipod connected just fine with no problems, didn't even have to re-input the password (same with my iPhone 4). but this ipod that im having trouble with isn't connecting. on the settings, itll say the name of the wifi as if its connected (no wifi bars) but when I go to the wifi settings, it just shows the loading spinning symbol next to the wifi name, and then it will show the same symbol next to "choose a network...", and then it just keeps doing that. It does not say "unable to connect" or anything like that. Ive reset the network settings, ive forgotten the network at least 5 times and have re-entered the password also. ive turned my ipod off a couple times, connected it to iTunes, the whole lot of it. I don't know if its just the wifi (seems considerably weaker since the password was changed, and it was pretty weak to begin with) or what. I can answer any more questions to help find a solution.
And I can not upgrade the wifi, apparently its as upgraded as it can be. But the other two devices still work, but this one ipod is just not connecting. also, the ipod is updated.

Yes, it connected to another network, for some reason it wont connect to mine. I'm right next to the router, but my other devices work, so I don't know if its the network or the iPod. I took it to a store (home button was broken) and they were able to connect it to their Wi-Fi, so I guess it isn't a problem inside the iPod. But, as I said, the three phones in my family all connect, CPU connects, other iPods connect, Xbox 360 connects, my sister's laptop connects, and my tablet connects.... I just got the iPod back from repairing the home button and I reset it (wasn't able to before, assistive touch home button wouldn't let me reset) and it still wont connect. Its weird, because the Wi-Fi bars under the Wi-Fi settings will be shown blue as if its connected (It wont have the check next to it, it will only show the loading spinning symbol; I've left the iPod open and it just keeps loading, it wont say unable to connect, and obviously it wont connect) however the bars are not next to the word "iPod" at the top of the screen. also, in the man page of the settings, the Wi-Fi will not say "not connected", it will actually say the name of my Wi-Fi as if it were connected, but there is not actual connection.
Thanks, hopefully I wont have to restore it... really don't want to do that.

IPod 2nd gen not being recognized

Hey guys. I've tried all the usual stuff (restart, etc). I recently used my FireWire port at an Apple Store, so I know that isn't the problem.
But for whatever reason, my 2G iPod will not be recognized by my computer. It charges, but not even disk utility sees that it is there. Please help me find a solution.

I'm having the same problem with my 2nd Gen iPod too. Initally my computer would not mount on neither my desktop or iTunes.
I've already done the 5 Rs... even connected another iPod to the computer, which worked fine... eliminating a faulty firewire cord, port, and iTunes (latest version).
After I've Restored it, chose language settings, then connect the iPod using firewire, it automatically goes into diagnostic scan disk mode (the one w/ the CD and magnifying glass). I let it run through this cycle, then it reads that the hard drive is OK (CD with a check mark). Then I press any button... the Apple comes up, then it freezes at "Do not disconnect". Then I restart the iPod and I'm back at "Choose language settings" etc. I feel like I'm running around in circles, arrrgh!

IPod 3rd Gen Not Connecting to Windows AT ALL

i have an iPod 3rd Gen 10gb. I use firewire to connect it to my iPod. When i connect it, it shows that it is charging but that is all. my computer won't recognize it at all. i tried a new cable, a new firewire card, i bought a USB cable, reinstalling iPod software and iTunes, the 4 R's obviously not restoring cuz it wont connect. i basically tried everything but no luck. any help would be appreciated.

Do you use iTunes 7? If so please read the Topic I posted. Apperently I got the same problem with a new Nano. I discovered that when you attach the iPod DURING a Windows XP reboot it WILL WORK and see the iPod ...... until you disconnect again.

Re: iPod 2nd gen wifi connectivity issue

my 2nd gen ipod touch is not displaying any available network choices, not even locked ones around me. I know this is an ipod issue because my iphone is displaying all choices. Please help, thx.

I think I may be on to something. I have stopped getting the faulty signals when I changed my wireless channel to another one. However I then started disconnecting and reconnecting to my network quite a bit, sometimes asking for our password again. What I noticed is in June I added security to our old router and the problems began there but not as bad as they were yesterday. When we got the new router I added security right away in the form of WPA2-PSK AES only. I just now changed that to WPA-PSK TKIP + WPA2-PSK AES and it seems to have stopped disconnecting and reconnecting three times a minute. I will play around with it more and report back, I will say I've noticed a slight drop in signal but we'll see how it all works out. If anyone knows more about this than me please let me know.
Thanks,
QK

Ipod touch 2nd gen not connecting to mail now-any anwers?

My iPod Touch 2nd Generation can no longer connect to my email (formerly MobileMe account). I am running iOS 4.2.1
Why can I not suddenly connect to my email? It asks me to create account with MobileMe, which I already have. Every time
I try to put in my Apple ID and password (long in use, NOT new), it says it already exists (no fooling?). It becomes a big endless
loop and no matter how many times I repeat the activity, same answer. I even restarted the iPod, to no avail. Any answers?
thank you for your help.

MobileMe has been discontinued and replaced by iClould. Did you transition to iCloud? However, the 2G iPod is no supported by iCloud.
To seup mail on youre 2G see:

IPod 2nd Gen. not restoring

I have got an iPod Touch 2nd generation. I have accidentally disabled it. The screen says 'connect to itunes' but when I connect it to iTunes the iTunes says. 'The device has a passcode. Please unlock the device before continuing. Then I tried again but this time I put it into DFU mode. I tried restoring the iPod but it now says 'the device is not eligible for the requested build'. Please help!
Hope you can help!

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file.

Ipod 1st Gen Not Connecting to the computer and not being recognized

Hi my friend is having some issues with her ipod first generation it is not being recognized by the computer when she plugs it in and when she opens itunes it does not show up. the only thing she can do is charge her ipod from the computer, if anyone can help that would be great thanks!!

Could be any number of reasons. One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes. Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
