Ipod shuffle not recognised by my desk top

I have a new ipod shuffle that does not show up in devices when I plug it into my desk top.  What should I do.  Have all the latest software and the device is working and being recognised by another computer.

I plug into my HP Windows XP desktop and get USB device not recognized.  It works on my laptop.  I need help as well.
Thanks

  • 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 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 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 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.

  • IPod shuffle not recognised

    When the ipod is connected to the MacBook Pro it is not recognised by iTunes. All the latest SW is installed in the Macbook. Connecting and reconnecting and restarting the ipod has no effect.

  • 4th gen ipod shuffle not recognised in windows

    I finally exchanged the shuffle for a replacement which worked perfectly.

  • IPod Shuffle won't load on desk top

    Bought shuffle for my 6 year son for his birthday (Bringing him up a as Mac Addict, start them young). I'm running 10.2.8, loaded software, but shuffle won't load on desktop. Any suggestions as he is dying to listen to chilli peppers on the go.

    What sort of an iMac are you trying to plug it into? And where?
    If it's G3 with that OS, then you can't use the low-power ones on the keyboard and you physically can't plug it in far enough to the high-power ones on the side of the case. You need to get a Shuffle Dock (neat, elegant, spendy solution) or a USB extention cable (cheap, easy, not so pretty one).

  • Why is my 4th generation iPod Shuffle not recognised by the new Itunes 11?

    Made the old mistake of "upgrading", this time to iTunes 11. I'm sure it is all very exciting and pretty and what have you, but as I can no longer see my device in iTunes it is all pretty pointless. Anyone else having this? Any solutions out there (as reverting to previous iTunes is, of course, a no-go - so double thanks, Apple!).

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • 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

  • Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

    Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected.  Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

    Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
    Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Music on shuffle not recognised after upgrading itunes

    I have recently upgraded itunes from 7.02.16 to 7.5.0.20. The ipod shuffle is recognised in itunes 7.5, but the music on the ipod does not list in the contents tab. The music is shown as on the ipod in the summary tab, and will play as normal when not connected to the computer. Can anybody suggest a way for itunes to list content?

    After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
    All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!
