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? -
Shuffle doesn't open in iTunes
Trying to sync Shuffle gen 1 to iTunes. Cycles on and off but never recognizes it. Synced fine with last laptop also running Windows 7 but was 32 bit not 64. Any ideas?
Hey Mv Tom,
If your iPod shuffle seems to be unresponsive when communicating with iTunes, it may be best to run through the following troubleshooting assistant:
Apple - Support - iPod shuffle - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/assistant/itunes/
If all else fails, you can restore your iPod shuffle to factory settings:

I am almost always just plugging it in to charge it, and iTunes takes forever to open. I can't seem to find any solutions. I'd love any help, or more suggestions of where to look. I feel like I've looked at all the preferences and settings.
jpeg is a lossy image compression. Try seeting the "quality" input to 100 (default is 80).
I would recommend to use PNG instead, it's a better format for this purpose. (jpeg is for photographs).

2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer
I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
Any suggestions? -
My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?
",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium. -
I have a brand new ipod shuffle and my computer and itunes does not "see " it when I plug it in.
I have tried most of the remedies listed but still cannot get it to work - what is wrong?
Please someone help?To all
I have managed to solve the problem with the help of the Apple Support.
I did not have a USB driver installed for the IPod. This is now fixed and is easy to do.
Hope other people can gain knowledge from my learning curve! -
Ipod touch doesn't recognized by itunes password
My ipod touch doesn't recognized my itunes password, so I am not able to purchase anything from the ipod touch, but I am able to do it through my computer.
Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.
This is assuming that your problem is that when you try to make a purchase the PW you enter at the prompt is said to be incorrect. -
Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop
I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?
Laptop Windows XPWhy would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
What kind of laptop is it? -
My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?
Did you find a solution?
My touch is doing the same thing. -

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? -
