IPod Shuffle 4G no Sync-Problem: Ejects USB device

Hello,
i got an iPod Shuffle (4. Gen) with some strange behavior.
I connect it to my laptop or pc (Windows 7) and then i try to sync music with iTunes.
It syncs about 30-150 songs and then i hear the "Eject-Sound" of usb devices
from Windows and i got an Error message from iTunes that "not all objects could
be transferred to the iPod. The iPod itself then is not listed in iTunes anymore.
If I then plug out the iPod and want to listen to the music which it should have been
transferred to the iPod it says: "Please use iTunes to sync music to this iPod"
Plugging it in again theres the windows dialog if i want to "check and repair this device"
Starting iTunes it says that all the space is free on the iPod.
Somethimes I hear the sound from windows for the eject usb media permanent
and cant copy anything to the ipod. I also tried "restore ipod" via iTunes several times
but without success, problems exists further.
I think, that perhaps the flash memory of the iPod is defective or something which
has to do with the transfer process.
I got another iPod (4. Gen) which works without any problems, with the same cable.
So it must be something wrong with this iPod.
The iPod is like 10 months old and in warranty.
Should i send it in to Apple? I think this is a hardware problem....
with kind regards

You've ruled out a bad cable, a bad USB port on computer, and a software problem on the computer, because your other shuffle works fine. And a Restore does not help. That pretty much says the cause is a hardware problem on the shuffle.
So, if it's under warranty, definitely have it checked by a tech before the year is up. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can do so at the store's Genius Bar. You can make a reservation at the store's web page (not required but it may save you waiting time)

IPod Shuffle 2nd generation syncing problem with iTunes 7.3

When I updated my iTunes to iTunes 7.3, I had problem syncing my songs with my iPod shuffle 2nd generation. The error read something like "Ipod shuffle attempt to copy to disk "iPod's name" failed. An error occurred (-54)". I reverted back to iTunes 7.2 and the problem does not seem to arise anymore.

Well seems to me the only way to solve my problem was
to revert back to iTunes 7.2. I tried iPod reset
utility. restoring to default, resetting, everything
I could think of when I used iTunes 7.3 but none of
them succeeded. When I reverted to iTunes 7.2, it
worked like a charm again. Of course we would all
like the latest version of iTunes on our computers
but this problem has made me stay with iTunes 7.2 for
the moment. And does anyone feel that iTunes 7.3 is
so laggy?
Regardless of earlier comments on 7.2 vs 7.3, I think you've got something else going on with your system, iTunes 7.3 isn't laggy on my meager 2001 Dual-USB iBook G3 500MHz with 640MB running 10.3.9.

IPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

iPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

After connecting it, the light should continue to flash (if you use the Manually manage music or Enable disk use setting), or it should become a solid (not flashing) color (if you use automatic syncing). The light going OFF may indicate that the shuffle is not able to charge. You are using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle (it has a mini-dock), correct?
That problem could be caused by the shuffle itself. Since a 2nd gen shuffle is at least five or six years old at this point, it may be the battery becoming worn out. It may also be a problem on the USB port. As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Is there any difference?

My daughter disconnected her iPod nano from the lead before ejecting the device. It no longer syncs and we have re-set the device, but it now only occasionally appears on the computer screen any suggestions please?

Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Start with the "Shuffle not recognized" section in this Apple support document.

Error message Ipod shuffle cannot be synced. required disk cannot be found.

I just bought the ipod shuffle. I loaded about 110 songs. Then the next day I wanted to load just 9 more and it wouldn't let me giving me the "cannot be synced. required disk cannot be found. Please answer. This is frustrating.

I remember getting that msg periodically when I got my shuffle, but now it's extremely rare [I've not seen one in more than two months].
I donno what causes it, but what always worked for me was to eject the shuttle, un-dock it, quit iTunes, launch it again, cycle iPod power (turn it off if it's on, and on if it's off) once or twice, put it back on the dock, and voila!

Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation OneClick Problems

Hi
I have an ipod shuffle (2nd generation) and have downloaded the OneClickDigital media manager from the App store.
This has allowed me to check out audiobooks from my library... and they download to this program and I can play them there....that much is working.
The problem is that when I "download/transfer" the audiobook I get an error message that I can't seem to resolve. It says "iPod music is not manually managed....Please check the "Manually manage music and videos" option for your device in iTunes....IMPORTANT: All existing content on the device could be deleted by iTunes by checking this option".
Now here's the problem. There seems to be no "summary" tab for the ipod shuffle (2nd generation). The response I got from OneClickdigital says "Unfortunately, we are not aware of another way to manually sync music for specific devices other than the Summary tab Options settings. We do recommend that you contact Apple support directly in regards to questions specific to your device."
Any ideas?
Cheers
Tracy

I have the same problem with my ipod.
It doesn't flash any lights and ive tried all of these ways too.
Ive had it for less than a year and I won my ipod so I dont really know if i can go to the apple store and they'll fix it for me.
**Also would they do it or would I have to pay, and have the box, and papers?**
Because I don't have the cover box, but i have the clear plastic box w/ the white plastic holding that but not the cover box(i dont even remeber if there was a box over the white palstic thing).And i dont have a receipt because i won it, but i have all the other papers that were in the clear box itself even the stickers and everything.

My new iPod shuffle is not syncing to my iTunes account.

Had an iPod nano before and just got the new iPod shuffle. I have connected it and there is no button showing up for me to sync the device. I have tried restarting my computer, downloading Itunes again and removing the shuffle and turning it off, waiting 10 secs and turning it on again and connecting it.

Does the shuffle's light come ON at all when connect the shuffle to USB? If there is no light, either blinking or solid, make sure the USB cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document.

IPod Shuffle Won't Sync On Computer -- Help !

I have the 2nd gen of iPod shuffle. & I'm using Windows XP.
I don't know why but the shuffle won't sync onto my computer.
It used to before but it doesn't work anymore.
I've tried restoring it with the iPod Reset Utility but it said it won't mount. Also, when I tried connecting it to iTunes, it said that the files were corrupted.
So I tried restoring it there too but it would never finish, even after a few hours.
And another problem is that it won't show up as a hard drive on "my computer."
But when I take it to my brother's computer, the iPod shuffle works.
Is there a way to make it sync onto my computer?
Because all the songs are on my computer and I'll have to send them over to my brother's computer.
Which will take a really long time.
Thanks in advance.

Oh my gosh had this exact same problem... go here...

IPod shuffle will not sync with iTunes 7.3; "iPod sync failed"

My shuffle is acting weird lately. For example, when I plug in the iPod and try to add songs and/or sync the device, iTunes says, "iPod sync failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." It's really annoying because I can't add any songs to it or change any settings. Please help me! I have tried almost everything to save my shuffle and have restored it about 6 times!

Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

Shuffle Third Gen sync problem

So I plug my shuffle in to sync some new music to it, and when I drag the playlist to the ipod it states that it is syncing, but stays stuck on "copying 1 of ---." I have no idea what's wrong as this is the first problem I've had with it. Please help me out.

nevermind, i fixed it i guess. it's working now.

IPod doing the "slow sync" recently. USB issue?

So my iPod recently decided that it will sync VERY SLOWLY and sometimes, it's not even recognized on the iMac. I have restored it twice, once on my wife's iMac (PowerPC) and even took it to an Apple store where they wiped it out and confirmed the iMac is fine.
I have two Firewire drives connected to the iMac, and in the USB Ports: the keyboard, a LaCie 1TB drive (used for backups across the network of 3 iMacs of various ages) and when I connect it... the iPod.
In addition, the LaCie drive will periodically just dissapear from the desktop, making automatic backups a bit of a problem.
Any thoughts on whether this is a USB BUS problem (I have swapped the ports for the different devices) or if there might be a "fix" available in software or actions for me. Of course, my AppleCare warranty ran out about 3 months ago.
Thanks for any ideas and help!

Mee too.Recently i bought a Grand c-max.i have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3, pluged via usb lead to the car.Checks all the tracks in by all details shown in the car's screen.Shows playtime counter but still no sound...the only sound that can be heared is a very annoying thin continuing buzz sound like:czzzz..Also when "ipod" icon tabbed on iphone when connected with usb, device seemes to be recognized properly by "Ford Sync" system.3 days past after i start to search a solution.But no results.But i must frankly add that, i still have not read the user manual of the car about aux usb connections.Nevertheless i need urgent help.Please advice.

My iPod shuffle won't be safely ejected from my computer.

Some how my iPod shuffle's Enable Disk Use got enabled and my didn't know it and I just disconnected my iPod without safely ejecting it. Now everytime I take it out it says error. When I put it in the orange light on the front keeps blicking continuesly. I click safely remove hardware like the manual said but it wont stop so I can safely disconnect. My iPod shuffle has been like this for a week now and it is making me upset. If anyone has any idea how to help, please reply to this post. Thank you.

I suggest you restore your Shuffle using the following procedure: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300701. The latest iPod updater for the Shuffle is 2005-11-17. Once you have the Shuffle restored open, iTunes and, with the Shuffle plugged-in, click the Options button and make sure that "Enable disk use" is deselected.
