IPod Shuffle not restore / format / work!!!! help-me pls!

Hi, I bought a iPod Shuffle 512 MB last week. I used ipod some times, but I had a problem when tried to connect on PC. Windows recognized the iPod as "removable disk" only, when I tried to access its return a message reporting a I/O error or Windows Explorer "Not Responding".
In properties off this media it´s appers with 0 MB. I tried to restore but the iPod Updater "Not Responding" when connected ipod. The icon off iPod don´t appers on iTunes. I tried to reinstall iPod Updater, in installation it´s needs to be formatted, but occurs the follow error when formatting:
"There was an error communicating with iPod. Please disconnect and reconnect iPod. Disregard the "Do not disconnect" message on iPod´s screen."
When I connect ipod on computer the status light blinks green and amber quickly.
The status light blinks amber when connected on usb port.
I tried with a ipod updater most recent.
I tried with other computer.
Sorry for the poor English.
Thanks,

Hi,
I recommend return this iPod shuffle and get a new one. If the store refuses to take it back then send it to apple at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

Note: If you get a new one from the store check before you take it home

Ipod Shuffle Not Being Able To Be Restored Or Recognized By Itunes

My 512 mb Ipod shuffle i've had for nine months has took a turn for the worst. It was working fine but then i put a couple of new songs on it and went to listen to it and the only songs on it were my new ones. I would hear one of them and then nothing. I went to see what was wrong and my itunes wouldn't recognize it and my ipod updater wouldn't either. I went through all the hoops and ladders of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
but nothing worked. Now i'm too the point when i load up my ipod updater with my ipod shuffle in the computer it sits there and says "initializing" and freezes, not even an ipod service error message. I am in desperate need of help!!!

How do I re-format windows iPod Shuffle 3rd gen to work on Mac?

I Have an iPod shuffle 3rd gen that works perfectly well on a windows laptop, however I want to link it to my MacBook.
When I plug the iPod into my Mac it charges but doesn't appear in iTunes.
I have restored it to factory settings using iTunes on Windows but it still doesn't appear on my MacBook.
Anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks!

Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.

ITunes shows my iPod Shuffle as windows formated after reformating to mac

iTunes on my Dual G4 MDD system still shows my iPod shuffle as windows formated after reformating it with disk utility. iTunes on my 12 inch PowerBook & ancient iBook both show this same iPod Shuffle as mac formated. All machines are running Tiger 10.4.9 with iTunes 7.2. The Dual G4 MDD system has my large iTunes library but so far I've not been able to sync my iPod Shuffle to this library. This large iTunes library works fine with my iPod G3 and my appleTV.
Power PC Dual 1Ghz G4 (MDD) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I got this iPod Shuffle used. It had been formated in windoes fat32. Until I formated it with disk utility all my mac instances of iTunes showed it as windows formated and had the update and restore buttons grayed out with a warning that windows formated iPods couldn't be updated or restored on a macintosh.
After reformating the iPod, iTunes in both of my laptops recognized the iPod Shuffle as being macintosh formated and showed iPod Shuffle's software version 1.0.3 and the iPod Shuffle's serial number. But, my old G4 tower system's iTunes still shows the iPod Shuffle as windows formated with no software version available, no serial number and nasty errors occurring on attempting to sync.
I can sync to the much smaller iTunes library on my PowerBook but I realy do want to solve this mystery and sync to the larger and richer library on my old G4 Tower.

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 Shuffle Not Showing Up in Disk Utility, Finder, or iTunes

Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhhhh!!
Until a few days ago, this 4th gen shuffle used to work fine re. syncing with iTunes on both my iMac and MB Pro (Mavericks & iTunes udated to most current). Now it won't show in either machine, anywhere; not inDisk Utility, FInder, or iTunes - nor even in System Information, USB (as far as I could interpret those screens).
It takes and holds a charge when plugged into an outlet, and plays fine... I've charged it fully before plugging it into the computer(s), and have tried it with the iPod turned off, and on.
I've searched these forums, but don't see an exactly similar situtation described, or solved.
Any tips out there?
Thanks.

Howdy sdpg,
It sounds like your iPod isn't being recognized in any way on either of your Mac computers. Normally if this issue is happening on more than 1 computer, it's either to do with the device itself, or the USB cable being used. I would start by using a differnet USB cable if you can. Then I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the computer(s), named:
iTunes: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1410
If the issue persists, then use the troubleshooting in this article to troubleshoot the iPod itself if needed:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

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

Ipod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great and is perfect for my needs

I just wanted to post that my iPod Shuffle 3rd gen is working great. No problems and I love it. I use it mainly for listening to podcasts. As soon as I turn it on it begins on the podcast I last listened to --where I was in the middle of the podcast. I stick the Shuffle in my pocket and all I ever have to do is use the headphone controls to pause, move forward or backward in the podcast, skip to the next one, or go back to the beginning, etc. I also love to be able to use the volume control on the headset without having to fumble around for my Shuffle in my pocket where it is safely tucked and won't get knocked off or damaged. I listen to my Shuffle for a few hours a day when doing yard work, household tasks and driving back and forth to work.
All the features are working just the way they are supposed to on my Shuffle. There are a bunch of negative posts about the Shuffle and I just wanted to say that mine works great and I enjoy it very much. I have had the Shuffle for 4 weeks and have not had any problems whatsoever. I own several other models of iPods (first version Mini, Video 60gb, Nano 1 & 2, Shuffle 1,2,& 3, Touch) But the handsfree/visual free ability of this 3rd gen Shuffle is great and very useful for me.
Just my two cents.

Linda,
No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.

IPod shuffle-not showing up.

Ipod will not restore after update

I downloaded the new version to make app. to my ipod touch and I was told to restore my ipod to have the update. Now my Ipod will not restore and I have lost everything in Itunes also. What do I need to do?

I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.
