IPod Shuffle doesn't even appear in System Profiler

Just got my new iPod Shuffle 2nd gen. I plug the dock in, put in in the dock and it blinks orange 3 times and that's it. I guess its to do with the connection between the dock and shuffle or maybe its something more sinister. Either way I guess I'll get it DOA'd and have a new one sent to me.

I'll post again this afternoon after they call me
back.
Looks like my new shuffle is going back to the
engineers at Apple, and I'm getting a new one. The
Tier 2 guy (Lawrence) was super-nice about
everything.
Well, that was nearly two weeks ago. They overnighted me the FedEx label to send MY shuffle back to them, but I STILL haven't received my new one, and the Apple support rep I mentioned above won't return my calls. If I want for a Tier 1 person, they look up the case number then tell me that it says my replacement was FedEx'd out to me over a week ago but they don't know to what address or what the tracking number is. Even at FedEx Ground speed, I should have had it a couple of days ago at most.
Not a good experience so far.

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

That sounds like an idea.I've had trouble with Verizon a lot .I I switch ed back to a non andriod phone cause of the expense it took 3 months and at least that many hours of phone calls &store visits to straight in it out...there's been many times things are blocked and a month later its back on the bill,u call and are told they can't do anything ...not there problem, can't b fixed from there end,I asked to talk to a sup. At was told I couldn't then she said I'd b told the same thing I insisted...I was on hold for about 20 minutes I hung up tried to call back they would not answer, I called my daughter had her call they answered when she told them they tried to blow her off too, so she went down to a store and made a complaint.. I don't have a store in our town,the customer should not have Togo through all that trouble some of this is down right criminal... I'm going through more problems again....they won't Evan discuss it with me unless I pay what's owed and the amount has still got the internet fees they've never taken off.

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?

HT201412 my phone doesn't even appear on my computer, it's stuck where the apple logo appears, I tried restoring it but it didn't work, it's still the same

my phone doesn't even appear on my computer or itunes, it's stuck where the apple logo appears, I tried restoring it but it didn't work, it's still the same, how do I fix it???

Sorry but jailbreaking frequently has its problems. It voids the warranty and we can't help you in this Apple forum.

I can sometimes connect to my Wi-Fi network, but sometimes the name of the network doesn't even appear when i try to find available networks. Is it possible that my software is too new for the network?

New Superdrive doesn't show up in System Profiler

My old superdrive died on me, so I ordered a new one from powerbookmedic.com.
After installing, it doesn't show up in System Profiler. I've quadruple-checked the connection and I can hear it make regular healthy sounds when booting up so I know it's getting power but once I'm inside OSX; nothing.
I tried resetting the PRAM and SCM as recommended on this forum for various superdrive trouble. Although it didn't change anything and I'm guessing don't apply here.
Any tips for getting OSX to recognize my drive?

It's equipped with a SATA drive - that's why.
Just take a look further down ..

IPod stuck in recovery mode, and doesn't even appear in iTunes, so I can't restore, HELP!

So my iPod appears to be stuck in recovery mode, which shouldn't be a problem, but for some reason is isn't showing up on my computer. I'm not getting the "is not recognizable error" It just literally doesn't even exist to my computer, My iPod doesn't even show up in the devises on my computer, BUT WHEN I PLUG IT IN, IT CHARGES? so I'm just really confused, any input would be great. Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

HT1420 I cannot authorize my computer for my ipod. The option doesn't even appear!

I'm using my laptop now since my old computer is broken. But it won't let me authorize my new laptop. I can't access my other music and put it in my ipod, so this is very distressing.. What do I do?
The option to authorize it doesn't even show up though it still says my old broken computer is still authorized. (It's the only authorized computer, btw)

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

IPod Shuffle doesn't show up

I am getting serious troubles with my iPod Shuffle (white and long model, not the latest gray). It doesn't show up on my Desktop and in iTunes 7.0.1. Disk Utility doesn't see it, iPod Updater 2005-06-26 doesn't see it, Terminal doesn't see it in the directory /Volumes. Only Apple System Profiler recognizes an iPod connected to the USB port.
Version: 10.01
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple
Product ID: 0x1300
Serial Number: 000A2700109E0AB0
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Computer, Inc.)
Anyway, the Serial Number printed on the back of the iPod (4H613MLURSA) is different than the one reported by ASP here above.
I run a G5 dual 2GHz with MacOS X 10.4.8 and my other iPod 15GB works well here. The iPod Shuffle battery is charged (green light when I check it). No music plays. I see the front green/orange lights blinking alternately when I press the pause/play button. And I see the back orange light blinking all the time (it should indicate the disk mode). I followed the Apple troubleshooting steps to reset it, unsuccessfully. As I have red here, I even tried to repair my boot disk permissions, reboot and re-plug-in the iPod. Same story. I called Apple Support and since I have trashed the bill I cannot get a replacement (purchased on July 28th 2006). So I would keep on trying to fix the problem by myself. Any suggestion?
Thanks

You should probably post in the iPod shuffle forum where more people who actually own the shuffle will respond. Here's the link.

IPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) - All Appears Well, but No Music Plays through Buds

I recently purchased yet another iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen), after frying the 1st one. This one synched and played well for about a month. Recently during a run it stopped playing. I assumed it needed to be charged. I fully charged. iTunes recognizes it - and displayed all my music. However, it still wouldn't play any music through the ear buds. I tried the reset (toggle on / off hold) - didn't work. I put it back on iTunes and reset it back to factory settings, reloaded it with music, iTunes still recognizes it, yet still won't play. It appears to be functioning properly - except for the "playing of music" part. iTunes recognizes it, the music is displayed in iTunes. When I turn the shuffle on the light glows green, then goes out. When I push the volume up or down - the green light blinks once for each push. When I push the skip forward or back button the green light blinks once for each push. No orange lights anywhere. But no music plays. Please help!!

Just thought I'd post to say that I'm having the same problem.
Everything appears to be normal with my shuffle: iPod syncs, all the lights are doing what they're supposed to be doing, I can see the music I put on the shuffle.
I too went back to factory settings, reloaded tunes, etc. etc. I have also checked both the earbuds I'm using (they work) and tried the shuffle with other earbuds (earbuds I tested elsewhere and which also work)... no sound.
Is it possibly related to the recent iTunes software update 8.0.2 (20)? I ran it on Friday and things were fine on my shuffle immediately after. But the next time I tried to use it -- no sound.
That update is the only change I can think of that my shuffle experienced proximate to the problem.

Have you tried, or are you able to restore the ipod?
I have the exact same problem. Can't restore the shuffle because it doesn't show up in Finder or iTunes.
I have an iPod mini that is working just fine. I have the latest version of everything on a G5. Shuffle is off when I plug it in to computer and I've tried every port on the computer. Are there lemon shuffle 2nd generations out there? I've been giving them as gifts.
