Ipod shuffle does not connect to itunes anymore

Hi
I am having trouble getting my Ipod Shuffle 4th Generation to show as a device in Itunes. I think this has been the case since I undertook recent upgrades. I have followed the trouble shooting assistant and have had no luck. Suggestions appreciated.

That's for iOS devices...
If the iPod is being recognized as a connected device by Windows, try the advice in this document

  • Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

    Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...)  and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

    Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

  • IPOD shuffle does not show in itunes

    New IPOD shuffle nver showed up in itunes
    Installed itunes again, no way

    Did this work before on this computer, and it is not working now for some reason?  Or is this the first time you are using it with this computer?
    Make sure the plug on the USB docking cable is completely inserted into the headphones jack, as shown in this document

    If that's not the problem, watch the shuffle's light as you connect it to USB.  Does it come ON?  If it does, what does it do?

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Ipod Touch does not connect to Itunes

    I´ve just bought an Ipod Touch, I´ve updated Itunes and OS, but when I connect the Ipod through the USB-port (tried both) it does not pop up in Itunes as with my previous Ipods

    What's the specific model (e.g. size/processor speed) of your PB G4? I ask, because my wife's 12" PB G4 (867 MHz), which is capable of running Leopard (barely), has only USB 1.1 ports, not USB 2.0. The requirements for the IPT include USB 2.0 (1.1 is unsupported, apparently works, but not consistently, and often not for a full sync, just for small updates).

  • IPod Nano does not appear in iTunes anymore

    Helle Guys,
    I have a problem with my iPod Nano (second generation). When I connect it to my iMac, it appears on the desktop, iTunes (9.0.2) starts up but the device doesn't appear in the left column of iTunes! I tried to reboot iTunes, the computer and the iPod Nano, but nothing fixed the problem.
    All updates have been done!
    Someone had the same problem?
    Thanks,

    If you can figure out a way to downgrade, I would love to hear it! I had the same thought, but the only other iTunes dmg I could find is on my iLife 6 disk. This is iTunes 6, and plugging the iPod into this version prompts the message that the iPod needs iTunes 7 or later to run.
    I ran across a link from Apple for a version of iTunes 8. It isn't readily posted in an intuitive place, but I have it bookmarked. I'm not sure if it will work, but it's downloading at the moment. I found a supposed iTunes 8 dmg on Rapidshare last night... I know... that's bad, but whatever... its supposed to be free software upgrades on iTunes. It's not supposed to ruin your hardware's functionality. Ethical dilemma aside, after downloading this iTunes downgrade and trying to install, I was given the prompt, "This version of iTunes is old," and it would not proceed past that point. It was the most condescending prompt my computer has ever given me, which gave me a chuckle, but didn't solve my current issue.
    I will post the link if this downgrade does indeed happen to work.

  • Ipod nano does not connect to itunes and will not launch. Help please?

    I was about to download some tracks onto my sons ipod nano when got the update message. I wish I had ignored it as my days have been taken over with scouring support, discussions and other sources to get itunes to launch. I have deleted, stopped, repaired and changed files. Nothing happens. No error message. Get the hour glass for couple of secs, thats all. Quicktime launches fine (also updated). Windows sees ipod hardware. What is going on? Granny is giving son an itunes gift card. As I have never allowed him to download tunes he is going to be thrilled............. except he can't use it!!!! I've spent way to many hours trying to find solution. Can anyone help me? Please?

    Sometimes iPod simply won't work off certain USB hubs. If it works directly off the computer, then continue to use that. Your only other choice is to try out other hubs until you find one that works. Is it a powered hub?

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

  • IPod shuffle will not connect to car audio

    my 2015 Lexus audio system recognizes my iPod Nano's (6th &7th generation) without any problems via BT or USB; does the 4th gen iPod shuffle have the capability to play through my car's audio system with it's USB cable?

    Probably not, because the iPod shuffle does not have the "standard" iPod dock connector.  It uses the headphones jack as the connection point for data.  Also, the shuffle is designed to be a more limited device, in terms of its interaction capabilities.
    A better choice for connecting to a car audio system is an inexpensive USB flash drive.  You may already have one.  For example, this one barely sticks out of the USB port
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33016G/
    and has many times the storage capacity of a shuffle.  You can load it with your favorite songs and just leave it connected in the car, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod (which causes wear on the iPod).

  • Since upgraded to 10.4.0.80, iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 10.4.0.80, and since then iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store anymore. There is no error message, the window is just completly empty.

    I'm having the exact same issues regarding not being able to connect to the iTunes Store. Running Windows 7.
    Additionally, my iPhone 3GS (32GB) and iPad 2 (64GB) will not sync when attempting to perform a full system restore.
    Also running ESET Antivirus software. I tried the following from Apple Support and neither worked:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN760
    I completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 10.4.0.80 and zeroed out IOS 4.3.5 on each device.
    Additionally, I went to Control Panels > Administrative Tools > Services and stopped and restarted "Apple Mobile Device" and "Bonjour Service".
    NOTHING WORKED ... STILL NOT ABLE TO SYNC.
    I AM HAVING REAL DOUBTS ABOUT PURCHASING THE iPHONE 5 IF THIS SYNCING ISSUE PERSISTS !!!
