Ipod shuffle is not detecting in both windows  and itunes,  its not charging as well

Suddently my IPOD stopped  detecting in my PC, i have tried in another laptop with windows XP as  well, but still it just blinks 3 times and goes off. Hence i am unable to  charge or upload the songs into  the ipod shuffle. It was working until 2 days back.
Can anyone please suggest a solution for this problem
I have tried  by connecting to different USB ports as well.

Buttons are working fine, because when i switch on the ipod and plugged it in the charger, it shows first as green and then moving to orange (after 3 to 4 blinks) its goes off
And also i tried resetting the ipod as well (as per suggested for 2nd generation)
Today, i gave a try from my another machine \
* i switched off the ipod
* i plugged into the charger
* it blinks for 3 to 4 times and then goes off. with this plugging itself, i switched on the ipod
* i plugged out the cable from the machine and plugged it back immediately
* This time it is getting charged
* i allowed it to charge for 2 hours and plugged out and now i could see playing songs successfully
But the problem the same thing is not working in my personal laptop, it is with WIn 7 (whereas the machine which is working with is WIn XP)
Even i tried to see whether it is detecting in Itunes of my personal laptop, it is not getting detected and not getting charged also. So i uninstalled the itunes and tried again, but it still it is not getting detected in Personal laptop and not charging also.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

    My iphone charged but when it turns on does not continue charging also windows and itunes do not identify my iphone!!!
    please help

    Macafee security center is may be the culprit.
    Open Macafee then: select;
    Internet & Network > configure
    Firewall > Advanced
    Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
    Highlight (click on)
    Then Grant full access to Itunes.
    APPLY then OK
    When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
    Try that or:
    Disable your firewall.

  • My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos.  Why?

    My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either.  Why?

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
    What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
    Did you install or upgrade software?
    Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
    Are other programs also behaving buggie?
    Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
    Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
    How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
    Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

  • Windows and iTunes do not recognize iPod

    Help! I have read everything in this forum and have not found the solution yet. I have the 30gb ipod video and I've had it for almost a month now and it doesnt work. I've tried the 5r's.. didnt do anything.. when i connect it to my laptop, it says its charging.. it also tells me that it would work better with a 2.0 usb, but according to the specs, it should still work with the 1.1 usb. Also, when i look at it in the device manager, it says "Location: Location 0 (iPod)" and "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." but when i try to reinstall them from the cd, it says they're not there.. i'm not the only one having this problem.. from all the posts.. is it possible its the cable? I dont have another computer to try it on.. HELP!

    Frustrated Mom,
    I am having the exact same issue. It all worked fine
    yesterday (the first day I used it) and now today
    there is no recognition on either
    computers...anywhere. I called the Apple S.O.S. line
    and they took me through all of the possible fixes.
    Nothing worked. In the end, they suggested that the
    iPod is faulty and I should send it in to have it
    repaired. I just got it yesterday so I will be
    calling MacMall back for an exchange, otherwise I
    just paid full price for a refurbished item. Not
    cool.
    Good Luck,
    Doug
    I had similar problems with my office Dell (Windows XP). My 60GB Video iPod works fine at home with my ibook, but when I first used with iTunes on this Dell I could only get it to intermitently recognize the ipod the first day. The next day the PC would recognize it was in the USB in that it showed up in the lower bar of devices to remove, and it would run the ipod service program and then start itunes (still does this) but it would not show up in itunes any longer or as a drive any longer in Mycomputer. On the other hand in an identical Dell in office nex to mine I was able to use it fine the last 3 days when it no longer worked on my office Dell.
    After some experimentation the fact that the iPod service runs when I put my iPod into the USB port and then runs iTunes shows the PC sees it. And I can eject it via the device eject icon on bar at screen bottom. I determined the reason the Dell in other office sees it while the one in my office no longer sees it in iTunes is likely due to the fact that I do not have administrative access to my PC and iTunes is not installed as my default application. The Dell next door has iTunes installed as default application for music and thus I have no problems.
    It shows my iPod is ok but the PCs (not my ibook) vary in response due to minor differences (such as not being default application for music in my case --at least that appears to be cause which I will test later when I get my itunes set as default application). You may want to look at issues with iTunes rather than the iPod being faulty?

  • My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

    earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did.  In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds.  If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it.  I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change.  All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

    The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
    Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
    So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

  • Windows and iTunes do not recognize my iPod..... HELP!!!!!!

    Hello!
    HELP PLEASE!!! Windows Vista and iTunes do not recognize my iPod!!   I dont understand why because everything went well for at least 2 weeks!!   But now, my Ipod only appears even more in my computer, so ITune do not recognize on.  
    I need your help before remove ITune and all Apple produces. This is what I do if I made a following Apple support but before mde this, I need your help for to see if there's something simple to try before.
    I'm open to any good suggestion!
    Thank you!

  • Windows and iTunes does not recognize

    yada, yada...
    I tried the Rs, but my new computer and iTunes does not recognize my shuffle. Can someone give me basic steps to correct this? Shuffle was previously 'synched' with another iTunes library and I don't want to erase my currently uploaded music. Help please!

    I don't know if this is the same problem, but I cannot get my I-pod Nano to sync or have I-tunes recognize it. It is a connector problem, and this is my second Nano to do it within nine months. Apple wants $32 to send it in to be repaired once again. I am irritated beyond belief. I took my Nano in to an IMAC store and they confirmed that it was a connector problem. They could not send it off nor repair or replace it though. So I've had two Nano's since Christmas have this problem.
    I would suggest that you try another device (shuffle) on your computer to ensure that it's not your computer (our other I-pods worked on the computer) and/or take it in to an IMAC store where they will see if it connects to one of their computers.
    Right now I think Apple products are basically crap...

  • 64 bit Win 7, Itunes 10.5. Can open Itunes and play music, try to open store and it says "Windowa has stopped working" and closes both Windows and Itunes?? Worked beofre I updated to Itunes 10.5 Tried so many things!! HELP!

    Have Windows 7, 64 bit. Updated ITunes to 10.5 and now I cant open store? I can play music but when trying to open store, or anything else, I get :
    "windows has stopped working and is shutting down" and then Windows and ITunes close?? I have tried so many things?? Help!!

    Yeah, I wrote this wrong. Its ITunes has stopped working and Windows is trying to solve problem, then shuts down.
    I have un-installed , re-installed. Tried earlier version and that wont work any more. Changes firewall, pop-ups whatever...........nothing works. And Apple has been no help. Run test and it says all test are good even to Apple store??

  • My windows and iTunes is not detecting to my iPod.

    I'm having trouble loading my iPod onto my computer and iTunes. I reinstalled and reset several times, but it still didn't work. When I installed my iTunes with the CD, it didn't detect my iPod. When I plugged in my iPod, the wizard window popped up, and I tried to install it that way. Then while it's installing, a "Hardwar Installation" window comes up. It says, "The software you are installing for this hardware: USB Mass Storage Device has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP", and I should STOP INSTALLATION. So, I do and the wizard says that I cannot install this hardware. I don't know what to do. Anybody have any ideas?

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem, except I didn't get a "Windows Logo Test" thing. Anyway, if it asks you that again, just say yes. The iPod should do no harm to your computer, seeing how you've connected it before. Some people think the problem w/ this is that a windows update blocks the iPod from working.

  • New ipod seen in windows and itunes but not in sync diagnostics

    I bought a second Ipod. Oldest one works fine. New one is seen in Windows and in ITunes. Diagnostics "finds" new Ipod, but on Sync diagnostics says "no Ipod found".
    Ne Ipod looks like it's staring to sync, then just stops after 30 seconds and goes to "connected" screen.
    Have done resets of Ipod and reboots of PC.
    Driver shows no error in Device Manager.
    Have tried three differenct cables and both USB ports on the pc.

    I jus tried that. Computer acknowledged Ipod and Itunes performed restore. Afterward, same situation...no sync. Screenshots:

    Apple will not help you fix your jailbroken iPod. Have you tried to place he iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  For recovery mode:
