Ipod shuffle not detected in Windows 7 64 bit SP1

OS - Windows 7 64 bit SP1
Itunes version - 10.5.3.3
Ipod is detected as USB Mass Storage device under Device Manager and as IPOD under the category Unspecified device in Device and Printers. It does not get detected in Itunes and also does not show up in my computer. I have un-installed Itunes and all apple software and drivers and re-installed it, un-installed the USB Mass Storage device but nothing is working. Few things I have noticed is that when I connect the IPOD and perform a scan hardware changes in device manager, the process goes on for ages. Upon, unintalling the USB Mass storage and rebooting the system, when I connect the IPOD, the computer tries to install the driver after a while it gives a message, driver installation failed.
I have connected my IPOD to all USB ports on my motherboard but the problem remains the same. Also, when the IPOD is connected and I perform a shutdown, the computer stays on the message shutdown unless I remove the IPOD. When I right click and select Eject IPOD, the IPOD is not ejected and upon removing the IPOD I get a message that Windows could not eject due to some problem using the IPOD but nothing was running on my system.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 4th Gen iPod Shuffle not detected by Windows(7)/iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Shuffle 4th Gen (I believe it's a 2GB).  I use windows 7.
    I'm having an issue where Windows and iTunes cannot detect my iPod shuffle.
    It was working fine, then I did a restore and set it into manual handling.  About 30 minutes later, I heard a USB device get disconnected from Windows (it played the USB disconnect sound/tones over my headphones).  Now, upon plugging it in to ANY USB port, it does not appear.
    I've looked at several articles/troubleshooting pages, and none seem to have resolved this issue.
    I also noticed that when plugged in, it slowly flashes a green light (no orange light comes on at all).  I was concerned there was an issue with power, but upon turning the device on, I get an automated message saying to add music to the device before it turns itself off.
    Any thoughts would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Do the USB ports work for for other devices?

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

  • IPod Shuffle not recognized by windows 8 but is by Windows 7

    iPod Shuffle not recognised by WIN 8 but is by WIN7
    When connected via iTunes iPod Shuffle charge light does not come on and WIN8 Control Panel Hardware status indicates a problem with the iPod. WIN8 troubleshooting results in the following message:
    Windows is uninstalling this device. (Code 21).
    No such problems exist when iPod is connected in WIN7 via iTunes i.e. charge light came on and the device was recognised OK by WIN7Control Panel Hardware status.
    Is there any fix to make WIN8 behave OK like WIN7 for iPod Shuffle?

    first try reinstalling itunes on 8, also have all your files been moved over to win8 or maybe try restoring the shuffle

  • New shuffle not detected by Windows

    Familiar story: I bought a new shuffle, which arrived today, and Windows doesn't detect it at all. I followed the installation procedure by the book, but no luck. I went through every step in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711 including the 5 R's (more than once), but nothing works. I've uninstalled both iTunes and the iPod software, restarted my computer, reinstalled the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software, and restarted again. No luck. I've tried every USB port on my computer. (I have one built-in USB 1.1 port and a PCMCIA card with four USB 2.0 ports.) The iPod itself claims to be charged when I press the battery button. (They must ship these models with a full charge, I guess.) It just isn't detected by Windows at all. It doesn't show up in device manager or Explorer or the iPod Updater or anywhere else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Dell C600 Latitude   Windows 2000  

    I've already tried every USB port on my computer. (I have a single USB 1.1 port built in to the computer, and a PC card that provides four USB 2.0 ports. None of them work. All five show up as having 500 mA available to them, which I think counts as "high-powered," right?)
    What do you mean when you say that I can't send it back? The return policy on the invoice says: "If you are not satisfied with your Apple purchase of a pre-built product, please call 1-800-676-2775 for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) request within 14 calendar days of the receipt of the product.…A 10% open box fee will be assessed on any opened hardware or accessory." So I thought I could return it provided that I am willing to get hit with a rather lame 10% restocking fee (which should come to about ten bucks on a shuffle purchase). Am I misunderstanding?

  • IPod Shuffle Not Recognized In Windows Or iTunes v7.0 - What Now?

    Hello everyone,
    I am having the same problem as many who have posted here. I have upgraded my software to iTunes v7.0.1.8. I also accepted the auto update for my iPod Shuffle - 512GB 1st Gen to v 1.44 (I believe). Of course, now my Shuffle is not recognized in iTunes and is only recognized in Windows for less than 5 seconds (as I have monitored it). I am listing below all of the actions I have taken today.
    As none of these have worked, my question is now what? Does anyone have any other suggestions before I take the dreaded step of calling support? Any help is appreciated.
    I am not happy with this upgrade issue at all. I expect much better from Apple.
    Steps Already Taken:
    1. Reset iPod.
    2. Set Terminal Services to "Manual" and restarted my laptop PC.
    3. Changed all USB Root Hub entries power management options to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option" and rebooted.
    4. Assigned my external hard drive a different letter as it was assigned to "E" and tech support documentation suggested I changed it - I changed it to "M".
    5. I stopped the iPod Service via the Services and Application interface from My Computer/Manage, reattached the Shuffle, and started the iPod Service. The Shuffle was still not recognized.
    6. I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1.8, the Apple Software update and QuickTime. I deleted all temp directories; program files folders and all possible traces of all three pieces of this software. I also deleted my iTunes library. I reinstalled all of this software and re-built my Library. NONE OF THIS WORKED!
    My 30GB Video iPod works fine and always has - it is only the shuffle for which I have this issue any only since the upgrade.
    What do I do now? If no one has another fix, I will be forced to call Tech Support after an experience with them over a year ago I would almost rather throw this thing away!

    qswh - I too cannot play the songs that are loaded on the shuffle. Additionally, I get a green & orange light when I plug it into a USB port and then I either get a blinking orange light or a solid orange light from there after.

  • IPOD shuffle not recognized by Windows/Itunes - download installation SW

    I have used a 2G Ipod shuffle successfully on one Dell Windows XP PC for over one year. Have Itunes 7.02 on an identical Dell PC. Plugged shuffle into usb port(s)on second PC - shuffle light turns green momentarily and then off. Shuffle recognized by neither Windows nor Itunes. Went thru the various fixes in apple ipod support to no avail. One suggested fix was to reinstall the IPOD software from the CD that came with the shuffle. Unfortunately, I cannot find the CD and find a link on the apple website to download the corresponding software.
    Suggestions?

    I have a solution, derived after some 16 hours of
    messing about with the shuffle, reading and
    re-reading the forum posts, trying to get my PC to
    recognize it, and hold the USB connection without the
    old Malfunction bubble ... my advice is free ... take
    the shuffle back! I swapped for a 2G Nano, and
    within 5 minutes I was off and away! Go Apple GO!
    The highly experienced sounding tech at the store
    was also at a loss.
    If you read the OP's plaint carefully you'd have noticed what's being talked about is a Shuffle that's over a year old... Thus, unless OP has AppleCare, taking it back is not an option.

  • Ipod shuffle not recognized in windows 7

    I bought a new 2gb ipod shuffle 4th gen on friday, as my 120gb classic was stolen, and i have been having massive problems with it. Whenever I attach it to the USB port (tried in all 4) it only comes up with a box in the bottom right of windows saying "USB Device Not Recognized", and then nothing at all happens in itunes (which is up to date). To say I have taken it out of the USB port and put it back in 200 times would not be an exaggeration. After about 10 minutes, it was suddenly recognized and I managed to put a few songs from my itunes onto it, but then it got disconnected, and it was never recognized by the computer again. As I only managed to put a fraction of the songs I want on it, it is annoying that it won't work.
    The ipod shuffle plays completely fine, I can listen to the songs I DID manage to put on it. I have also tried everything on another computer with itunes and the same thing happened. Every other USB device I own has worked on it, and I have unplugged everything to see if or not it conflicts, and it makes no difference with the shuffle. As the shuffle plays fine, I can only imagine it being a problem with the cable, but for a brief time it worked in itunes perfectly, so I am unsure.
    Any help would be massively appreciated. but at this rate I will be taking it back to argos.
    I have tried practically everything in all the support and troubleshooting guides, tried using the shuffle in 2 seperate computers, and the shuffle is most definitely plugged in all the way!

  • TS3572 Ipod shuffle not detected

    Hi, when I plug my ipod shuffle 4th generation into my computer I see an orange light to show me the ipod is charging, but itunes won't detect it. What can I do ? Thanks for your help

    Does the light initially blink, before it goes to solid orange light?
    If you run Disk Utility instead of iTunes (quit iTunes if running), do you see the shuffle's disk in the Disk Utility sidebar?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Hello waynenixcpa!
    Congratulations on the new computer!  I would be happy to assist you with the syncing issue.
    First, I would like to suggest deleting the current partnership.  Instructions for deleting the partnership: 1) Ensure the device is disconnected from the computer.  2) Launch WMDC.  Navigate Start > (All Programs) Windows Mobile Device Center.  3) From Mobile Device Settings, click >>more (located in the lower-right corner).  4) Click End a partnership.  5) Select the partnership then click End partnership.  Next, I would soft reset your phone, and restart your computer.  Then you can re-create another partnership for syncing with Outlook and your device.  Now you should have the option to sync Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks and etc...
    Please let me know how this works out for you.
