Ipod shuffle 3 : impossible to detect it on mac (finder, itunes and disk utility)

ipod shuffle 3 : impossible to detect it on mac (finder, itunes and disk utility), but it works, I can listen music. Do you have a solution for me ?

Does it still charge when connected? You said it still works with headphones.
It's possible that the connection port (the headphone jack) on the shuffle has become faulty. It has different connection points, so it's possible for it to work for headphones (and charging), but not for data. It's also possible that the USB cable is bad, if you have only one and no alternate way to test it and confirm it's working.
However, you can try these other things. Shut down the Mac and disconnect all USB peripheral devices, including any hub. Use this procedure to reset the shuffle

Start up Mac with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (for a Desktop Mac). Connect the shuffle to a direct USB port. Check with iTunes, Finder, and Disk Utility to see if there is any improvement.
If that works better, experiment with connecting other USB device, to see if there was some type of USB conflict, or maybe overloading of USB bus (for power).

My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?
The shuffle icon in iTunes disappears, after you click on the icon in iTunes? If so, if you do not click on the shuffle icon in iTunes, does it remain there indefinitely? Are you looking at the shuffle icon in the iTunes sidebar?

It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. -

after I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?
Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.
Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

my ipod will not update. I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered. It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done. The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks,We won't know until you try the procedure. The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen not detected by iTunes 11.3
I have two Macs both running Mavericks 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.
Neither one can detect my 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle!
I have tried all the recommended tips published at apple.com and elsewhere.
I have access to a Win 7 box with iTunes 10.x and it sees the Shuffle just fine.
Windows iTunes reports 1.0.4 software on the Shuffle.
In terms of status lights, I get a SINGLE orange flash on the Shuffle when I first plug it in to either Mac...then nothing.
I have an external charger for the Shuffle so I can confirm that it is fully charged.
Any suggestions?
-MJHi MJ,
after reading a lot of posts concerning connection problems with the iPod Shuffle 2G I finally found a solution. A lot of people had similar problems because of broken or damaged connection cables, pins etc. but also because sometimes the USB plug didn't sit tight enough.
That's how I recognized that this was also the case with mine. I was able to move it quite a lot, even plugged-in. So I tried the second USB port that seemed to be a little tighter already. Nevertheless I still got the short amber blinking light when I plugged it in completely.
What did the trick for me was to pull the USB plug back out a little until a short green light appeared, then I pushed it back inside a little until I got an alternating amber light. At the same time iTunes recognized the iPod. Also the plug sat stable at this point and I didnt move it anymore until I disconnected again. In the beginning a tried this method a couple of times until it actually worked, as the point of the best connection seems to be really small.
So as it seems in the end it wasn't a software problem but one of a too loose USB plug. Probably buying a new cable could also solve your problem.
