Ipod shuffle not recognised by computer after update to iTunes 7

I have just updated to iTunes 7 and now my computer will not recognise my iPod Shuffle. ("Periferique USB inconnu" - unknown USB peripheral in English.)
I have tried to reset it but until it appears in either the iTunes source window or in Windows explorer there is nothing more I can do.
Another problem is that when I try to run the iPod updater 2006-1-10 it tells me that I have the incorrect version of iPod service amd then aborts.
Finally I have misplaced my iPod installation disk so I cannot try reinstalling it.
Can anyone out there help me???

Unsolved till yet. I´ve read all the other threads touching this theme, but nothing substantial. No solution. No comments of Apple.
I´ve take a look into the files with Wordpad and I can see the lyrics inside the files. But, again, with the iPod nothing except the title.

IPOD Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a USB power surge

Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

Hi JBR,
Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
After that, open itunes and life should be good.
Hope this helps!

Ipod is not recognised by computer, but still charges

I have an Ipod Nano that i have had for a while now and it has been working fine. However, now, when i connect it to the computer, it is not recognised. It continues to charge, but doesn't appear in my computer or itunes.
I have updated my itunes, tried different usb ports, restarted my computer, and done most of what the support section advises, however, it still isn't recognised.
My brother is also having the same problem with his ipod shuffle.
I was just wondering if there is anything else that i could try.
Thanks

I'm also having this problem with my son's Ipod Nano. It was working fine yesterday. My other son got a Shuffle and we plugged it in and downloaded a bunch of songs. We then went to plug the Nano back in and it doesn't come up in Itunes. It does charge. I've tried multiple USB connections on the PC. I've also gone to the device manager to look at the USB ports. The Shuffle shows up as Mass Storage Device, but when I plug in the Nano, nothing pops up. I've also tried my Nano USB connection to make sure nothing is wrong with his. No luck. Can anyone help?

Ipod shuffle not recognised by my desk top

IPod Shuffle Not Recognised by Mac

Hi,
My 1st Gen iPod shuffle appears to have stopped working. When it is not connected to a machine and I press play I get the flashing orange and green lights (I believe this means there is no song on the shuffle?). The battery level shows as full so thats not the problem.
When I connect the shuffle to my MacBook Pro it is not recognised by iTunes but it is detected as an iPod in teh System Profiler. Also it is not seen in Disk Utility so i cant reformat the iPod. This all happened at the same time as I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What exact version of iTunes are you running on? Got to "Help > About iTunes", and could you please report back what exact version you're on? For example, my iTunes says "iTunes 7.0.2.16".
I would suggest restoring your iPod. (Since it's showing orange and green lights).
Try the four other Five R's to try to get your iPod recognized by your computer in order to restore the iPod. (Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall).
For more info, check out this link -> The Five R's
If the restore doesn't work, try installing the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility.

IPod Shuffle Not Recognised by iTunes

Hi,
My 4th generation iPod Shuffle is not being recognised by iTunes. When I plug it into my Macbook Pro, running Mountain Lion, the indicator light on the iPod will be continuous orange. This will switch off after a couple of minutes.

Could it be a faulty cable?
Yes. If possible, find a new one to test with.
The continuous blinking orange light indicates that the Shuffle is either in the middle of a sync operation with iTunes or is being read by another system process, but only if Enable Disk Use is enabled from under the Shuffle's Summary tab.
Is the connection nice and snug on both ends as can be seen from this article?

IPod Shuffle not recognised by iTunes on Mac or PC

hi
i have just received a new ipod shuffle 1GB 2nd Gen and when i first plugged it in to my Mac it wasn't recognised by iTunes, only as a 'Volume' in Finder. I could see that it was formatted as FAT-16 which i had never heard of before, only FAT-32, so i thought i would format it for Apple (MAC OS extended - Journaled), but still it wasn't recognised. I can drag and drop files onto the Shuffle as though it was a hard drive, but nothing else. I have attempted to restore it with the Ipod reset utility, but because it isn't recognised as an ipod i get a message 'Plug in Ipod to reset it' and the 'OK' button is greyed out. I get just the same behaviour when i plug the shuffle into a PC - i.e. it shows in explorer but isn't recognised in iTunes or by the iPod reset utility. the shuffle has been plugged in for a few hours, so should be fully charged. I have tried formatting to FAT-32 as well with no joy, and repairing the disk in disk utility but it says that all is fine.
i would be grateful for any help to get my shuffle working!
thanks

Same problem here, on 10.10.2 with iTunes 12.0.1, my iPod Classic 160 ejects immediately, on my mavericks mac with iTunes 12.0.1, all is well.
I've tried forcing iTunes not to run, by getting it into 'choose library mode' (holding down option key, whilst starting), and the iPod stays connected, but as soon as an iTunes library is chosen, it ejects. This leads me to think, it may be a system call that iTunes is using that has changed in 10.10.2, forcing the eject.
To Xavier, I don't see an issue with my iPhone wifi sync, although as I tried reinstalling iTunes to remedy the iPod situation, I did have to set that up again on the summary page.
I've also submitted a feedback assistant report, hopefully a fix will be coming...

IPod Shuffle not recognised in any way

My 2GB iPod Shuffle began blinking green-orange-orange which, I gather, means that I have to reinstall the firmware.
First when I plugged it in, iTunes told me that an iPod was recognised but not identified properly. I tried the iPod Reset Utility but that told me that "The selected ipod isn't supported by this utility."
Now the iPod won't be recognised in any way. The iPod Reset Utility hangs at "Waiting for iPod to become ready." I've tried using different USB ports and everything I could think of.
Do I have any hope of restoring my iPod?

Connect it to a Windows PC and reformat as "Fat32" (eg MS-DOS), then let iTunes restore it either on that system or on a Mac.

2G Ipod shuffle not in my computer or in itunes

*I have an 2G Ipod shuffle, which was working fine then all of a sudden it will not show up in my computer or in itunes. I have tried re-installing itunes, re-setting & pretty much everything that Apple suggests on the website. It will not allow me to add songs or delete them. I have also tried it on another computer & it does the same thing. Can anyone suggest anything or should I just take it back?*

You should download this:

Hope this helps,

IPod 80gB not synching address book after update firmware to 1.2.3

I have already tried to re-instate 1.2.1 as per different topic, but then my ipod just returns error on screen when trying to sync with iTunes.
So, after doing the disk utility thing and restoring iPod, I now got my music, videos and photos back on. Still, to no avail, my address book will NOT sync!
trashed the iPod prefs in /user/library/preferences/
did NOT work.

I finally managed to get rid of 1.2.3, and restored it for the umpteenth time (after repeated errors). I trashed the 1.2.3:
iPod_25.1.2.3.ipsw.signature
iPod_25.1.2.3.ipsw
files as instructed (found as described)
I also trashed the com.apple.iPod.plist file, then quite iTunes WHILST LEAVING iPod connected to the dock(!!) and restarting iTunes.
It then came up, eventually with the window asking if you want to use the older software (1.2.1) to which I said "yes". Obviously disabled the automatic update checker. It's suncing as I write this. Will post update on success.
