IPod Shuffle 4G doesn't show charged icon in iTunes

Hi! Last time I tried to charge my iPod, the status icon in iTunes was staying at charging and the icon didn't changed to charged for hours. I had to remove and plug in my iPod again to see it. Today I charged my iPod again on differnt computer and I got the same thing. Is it from the iTunes version or something went wrong with my iPod?
I don't check the light on my iPod, because I don't use auto sync and it always lights orange (not blinking, like when it's syncing).

Ipod Shuffle 512MB doesn't show in Windows

My problem is that I was given an 512MB iPod Shuffle that does not seem to play anything while only blinking green and orange when you push the play button. I've been attempting to search a means of fixing this problem throughout the internet, but nothing i've found has worked yet. I've even tried the iPod reset utility and such (although, I cannot read it on this PC because of my brother's japanese unicode system being on). When I've tried to connect the iPod Shuffle to different PCs with different Operating Systems ranging from Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit, and Windows XP; The iPod shuffle does not seem to show up anywhere in the hardware devices. According to the person that had given me this iPod, this iPod started acting up as it is currently upon his Safe Removal after charging it within a Windows Vista. From what it seems, the USB will still charge the unit, but the iPod will still not be detected on the PCs.
I apologize for the cramped block of text in which I described the situation, and thank anyone for any help/solution that may be provided. Thank you

Hi there.
I have the same problem but hodling the buttons didn't make any difference. I am using PC (God forbid) with Vista and a second gen Shuffle. Also, my laptop won't find the Ipod either ...

IPod shuffle wont play but shows up on PC/iTunes....

Hey Guys,
Recently my iPod Shuffle decided to die and stop working. The battery check button doesnt work (no LED lights up) and it simply wont turn on and play any music.
The most ironic thing is that, when plugged in my PC, Windows XP recognises it. I can see it in My Computer as a Drive, and can put stuff on it like a normal USB drive.
Not only this, but when iTunes is opened (or auto-opens in some cases), it also recognises my iPod Shuffle with all the songs i have on it.
This is the case with all 3 computers ive tried it with: my laptop, my normal PC and my pc at work.
the iPod Shuffle has the latest update and i've restored it numerous times. (yes i restarted the PC before "restoring the iPod Shuffle on all 3 PCs.) Also i have charged the battery (left it in PC for 6hrs) and it hasnt fixed anything. Ive charged it at home and at work.
I cannot figure out what is wrong!
-itunes sees it (with all the songs)
-after restoring it, itunes is able to load songs onto it
-windows sees it as a drive in My Computer
-windows detects it when plugged into PC.
I also had an iPod 4G 20gig that died on me about 2 months ago..
I love my Apple products but when they casue problems i dont like it Can someone help me? I Have also read and followed all the FAQ/articles about the iPod Shuffle in the Support section...and that hasnt helped
BTW: I am still covered under the One Year Warranty. But it seems Apple doesnt warranty iPod Shuffles? AS they expect it not to have so much problems as the iPod (Hard Drive)? I am not sure what to do, and if i was to warranty it i dont know how to approach it!

Hi Henry,
It is really nice to know you had followed all the trouble shooting steps to resolve the issue with the iPod shuffle.
Since, the iPod shuffle is not charging it needs to be serviced.
Visit http://depot.info.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
http://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/service/faq/
Apple will send an replacement iPod shuffle only if this iPod shuffle is within the warranty period.
Good Luck!!

HT1510 my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes

my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes when i plug it in to the back of the computer and when the off/on switch is halfway it gives me a solid red light on the iPod battery status light for about five seconds does anyone know what to do

If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"? Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version). It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window. Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery. That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected. In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle. In any case, power is not getting to the battery. It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected. That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port. If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable). A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle. And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for os update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.

My ipod shuffle 4th doesn't connect to itunes or windows, what can I do?

hello,
it's been like 2 weeks since I did the update of itunes and everything to get my ipod shuffle 4th generation, and also did all the troubleshooting from the apple page, and nothing happens. It doesn't connect to itunes or windows.
anyone of you have the same problem or know how to solve it??
thx a lot!!

I'm having the same problem, my brand new Ipod shuffle isn't recognized by my pc, or Itunes. I have tried everything suggested in troubleshooting. Did I just waste $50 on something that doesn't work? I'm afraid if I send the Ipod back for another one I will have the same problem. Any suggestions ?

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.

How do I restore my 80gb ipod if it doesn't show up in itunes?

My ipod seems to have gotten corrupted somehow, it show everything stored on it as "other" an orange bar, no music, no videos, no pics. Also it doesn't show up in the itunes source area so I can not restore from there. I tried the 5 R's, didn't really do anything but get it into disk mode. Anyway if there is another way to restore without itunes your help is appreciated.
Jack

There is no way to restore your iPod if it doesn't show in iTunes, although if shows up under "my computer" you could try a reformat there.
I only know the instructions for XP so I'm not sure if it's the same with Vista.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

You cannot buy music from itunes, as they do not sell it in your coutnry. You would have to buy elsewhere.

Ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes

ipod shuffle 2nd generation not showing up in itunes and when in its dock blinking orange.

I believe blinking orange means the iPod shuffle is in use by the computer (in some way). That's actually good, because it means it is at least recognized as being connected to USB.
If you have not already, be sure to try shutting down the computer completely (power off), with the iPod NOT connected. Also, follow this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.

Turn on your computer. Run iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle.

HT1477 ipod shuffle 3rd gen is not charging

When I place my ipod shuffled 3rd gen into the charging dock it does not charge. Other ipods are able to charge in the dock but not this particular ipod. Is there some kind of reset besides turning off and on for the shuffle?

Has this 3G Shuffle ever been able to charge from this particular dock or is the first time you have tried connecting it? Does the dock's manufacturer state that the dock is capable of charging a 3G Shuffle?
Does the iPod still charge when you connect it to a USB port on your PC/Mac or when you connect it to a USB wall adapter?
