My ipod Shuffle is Dead?

I have a Ipod Shuffle since November 25, it worked very well until yesterday, i dont know what happenned, but it wont turn on, and my computer wont recognise it, only sometimes after plugging it several times it starts charging, but it gets very hot (i dont remember it getting that hot before) if i take it off to listen music it wont turn on again, i already left it a lot of time charging and when i try to turn it on it wont work.
So do you think my ipod is dead and i should go to get a new one? or what should i do?, (i already made the 5Rs and nothing works)

Return it to Apple as it sounds faulty.
It is under warranty and they should replace it.

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead...

My 4th gen ipod shuffle is either not working or dead, i have opened it and found that its black near audio pin is injected and its heating while connecting via usb to laptop neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed help any one...............................
i think its kind of short circuited is any thing workable in this device or not........

I solved my problem by restoring the shuffle to factory settings on the summary screen. Now it seems to work the way it's supposed to. Many thanks to Apple for zero help, as usual. Apple should direct less resources to developing the next snazzy ipad and more to cleaning up and enhancing itunes. I'll make the same editorial comment about the iphone 4 voicemail options.

While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn

stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
hardware", it might display a solid orange...

NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
the USB port.
it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
It may very be. What happens when you press the
battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
anything?
it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
etc.
Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
disconnected?
first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
i got a red light
when i press the back light now
i get nothing,

Hi have you tried the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility? Here is the link to the application.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/ipodshuffleresetutility1 01forwindows.html
It may help fix your dead iPod however you may need to run the application a few times for it to work.
Hope this finds you well.

HT1373 I originally used iTunes and loaded my personal music to it when I got an iPod Shuffle long ago. I have now migrated from Windows environments to a MacBook Pro. My old iTunes account is associated with a dead email address at HP. How do I move it

I am trying to get an old iTunes account reactivated for my new MacBook Pro. Originally I had iTunes for my iPod Shuffle and connected to it with a Windows laptop. I have dumped Windows in favor of Mac OS and now have a MacBook Pro with iTunes installed. I want to get at the 100s of songs I had out on iTunes but my email address for the old account is no longer active (was a work account and I have since retired). How do I get a new email address (and ID) assigned into my old account so I can access it and get at my music?

Unfortunatly, you can't. I had the problem with an iPod classic and looked into it. You could make a new apple account and transfer it to that, but thats it and even that isn't garenteed to work.

Help me - iPod Shuffle 4th gen is probably dead - red light for 5 seconds

Hello,
sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me.
I have iPod Shuffle 4th gen. I have it for one year. When I today tried to charge it, after connected to my PC (in the right USB port) I heard sound of connecting device but in Windows in My Computer nothing happened. On the iPod the diode emitted the red light for 5 seconds and then turned off. I have iTunes and iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod too.
Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks

Hey StatistaXS,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iPod shuffle may have had a very low charge when connecting to your computer:

http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1510
If the iPod does not turn on after charging for an acceptable amount of time, it may need to be serviced. But first, check out the relative steps in this resource:

A Dead iPod Shuffle

Hey, I have had my iPod Shuffel for about a year now with no hitch. I use it every day for eight hours. (I wear it at work) I get home and plug it in to my comp when I go to bed so its charged for the morning. Last night I did the usual. But when I got to work today and turned it on, I got nothing.
When I plug it in to my comp, iTunes picks it up as per usual. It even has the solid orange light to say its charging. And after a couple of hours its green. Now I unplug it and nothing. No lights nothing. I have done the five R's, and even restored it using different versions. Still to no avail. Any one have any pointers? or ideas to get me going? Its a long day at work with no tunes =( .

However:
The battery may be defective, especially after a year’s time of steady use.
If the light stays green only for a brief period after a full charge; it's more than likely the battery is bad…!

New 3rd Gen. 4 GB iPod Shuffle not being recognized by computer or iTunes

Hey everyone, I've read some of the other posts here on this thread about other people having problem getting their computer to recognize the new 4 GB iPod Shuffle when plugged into the USB drive, and it seems like I am having a very similar issue. I just received my iPod in the mail a few days ago and tried plugging it into the USB and got NO response whatsoever from my computer or iTunes. I am operating with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on a Dell Inspiron Intel processor, 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM, with iTunes 8.1 (just updated). When I put something in my USB usually I hear a noise (sounds like DO-do ha) which tells me that my laptop recognizes whatever is plugged in, and usually I get a little box in the bottom right hand part of the screen that says it's been plugged in. I didn't get any of this when I plugged it in.
When I first opened the box I turned the shuffle on and the light went green for 1 second, orange for 1 second, red for one second, then dead..I suppose this is expected since I figured it's new and needs to be charged, so I turned the shuffle off, plugged the USB into the earphone socket then into my USB, and then turned the shuffle on, and got nothing but the same sequence of lights. It's one thing if iTunes just didn't recognize the shuffle, but I checked the Device Manager and My Computer and the USB drive wasn't even listing the shuffle as being plugged in..maybe the USB cable that came with it is faulty?? I read all of the technical troubleshooting notes on here and tried the 5 R's and nothing is working at all..
I do have one guess about this though..I also have an 80 GB iPod 5th generation that I've used for over a year now for my car and that plugs into the USB fine with its respective cable and is recognized by iTunes..my question is, can my iTunes only recognize one iPod at a time? Does it reject the shuffle because iTunes is only allowed to sync to one iPod per account? If this is true, is there a way around this so it can sync both, or can I have two iTunes accounts on the same computer? But why does the computer not even recognized it when plugged in? Hopefully it is just the cable that is damaged and not the device..wow this was long, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Connection problem with iPod Shuffle 4th Gen.

Hello, I have problem with my iPod Shuffle 4th gen. One day i tried as always to turn it on and listen music but i heard only short "info" sound and saw short green diode impulse and nothing else. My computer (windows 7) also can't find it, after plugging it on, ipod's red diode turns on for 5 sec. Any suggestions?

I've put my shuffle in a warm, dry place and we will see what happens in a few days. Any other ideas to fix this problem and/or prevent it from happening again?
Yes ... pay attention to how and where you clip the shuffle. Moisture can enter the controls if in contact with damp surface, OR can enter through the earphone jack along the earphone wire... positioning the shuffle such that the earphone socket is down will prevent the latter.
I recently discovered that the mode switch on my shuffle is very sensitive and will change from play-in-order to shuffle with a tiny positional movement. Interestingly, that resulted in behavior that, on the surface looked like the shuffle just quit! I normally listen to to audiobooks and other spoken material which are set to NOT be shffled... however , I forgot to set ONE 1/2 hour radio show to not shuffle. When I accidentally nudged the mode switch, the shuffle switched to playing that show. Trying to get bact to the audiobook I had been playing by multiple << presses confused the issue totally since the shuffle now displayed absolutely no indication of the button presses...it behaved as if it were dead! Turning it off and on didn't help either. Since it was dark, I couldn't see that the mode switch was slightly out of its normal play-in-order position, either. I put the shuffle away and soldiered on listening to a different audiobook on my nano.

Ipod Shuffle (2nd gen) can't connect to itunes

Hi guys,
I've just connected my ipod shuffle 2nd generation again (after a long time), but itunes gives an message that it can't read the ipod and suggests the restore utility.
So, I tried that, but it gives the following error:
ERROR
An error has occurred while restoring the iPod.
(had to translate it since it was in dutch, so excuse me for little differences)
I've reset it the usual way (off for 5sec) and tried to update itunes but it's up to date.
I'm running a macbook pro mid 2010 with mavericks.
My other ipod shuffle does restore but when getting it off the power source it won't go on so I suspect the battery's dead. (same model)
Nothing to do about that one, is it?
Thanks in advance!

Oh, it gives the green - orange - orange status light. The other one doesn't turn at all without power.

IPod Shuffle no longer portable !!!

Being a guy who wanted to do some overdue exercise, I bought an iPod Shuffle 1Gb. Fantastic piece of kit, light, small, ideal for what I needed. Its been working well yet lately, it's stopped functioning. Basically, when away from my laptop it doesn't work! When I switch it on I expect to see the green light flash but nothing, as if its dead! When connected to the laptop I'm able to upload music, use it to store data, etc, it works perfectly!
Since finding that I've got this problem I've tried multiple techniques to get the little thing to work. I've tried updating the firmware, regressing the firmware, restoring the software, restoring the software from another machine, etc, etc, yet nothing seems to have worked!
I'm also beginning to wonder whether its holding its charge!?! I left it plugged in and charging all night, and when came back to it in the morning, the orange light was still on. One thing I've found strange is that when the Shuffle is plugged into the power adapter, I can listen to music as if it were portable again!! When I then unplug it, it stops working!
I've also noticed that when I plug it into my laptop a get a series of lights...
(1) green flash
(2) green and orange flash (suggesting error!)
(3) green stays on
Over my time I've had a few problems with disconnection. I've updated the shuffle and even though autodisconnect is on, the orange light has continued to flash. I'll admit that I've had to unplug it a few times when the shuffle seemed to have hung. I can't believe however, that after everything that I've tried, it's as messed up as it seems because of this. I've now got the latest firmware installed, and it looks like I'm going to have to wait for the next version! Or I should attempt to get it repaired !?!
Thanks for reading my rant. If you think you can help I would appreciate any advise that you could provide.

Hi Jonathan,
Sounds like your iPod is beyond the kind of help you can find here. You've done all the fixes I would suggest. Thankfully, the iPod shuffle has a one year warranty, so I would sent it in asap and you'll get a nice new iPod in no time flat!

Good luck!
