Ipod shuffle not working at all

I bought an ipod shuffle earlier this year and it has been working extremely well up until yesterday. There is a problem with my ipod shuffle. When I try to play the shuffle, the error light appears, and when I hook it up to my computer, it registers the shuffle but doesn’t open in itunes. Is there some way that I can fix this problem?

My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

The link I and Ingo provided included:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
That is more than quicktime and iTunes. Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

Also try placing it in DFU mode to see if iTunes can see it so you can restore it.

Ipod Shuffle not working after trying all possible supports from Apple!!!!!

I have an ipod shuffle and it has been working fine. It turns on and off and I can play music. Now all of a sudden I cannot connect my shuffle to my labtop through its usb port. It won't recognize it at all, it cannot be charged and I cant even attempt to put new songs on it. I am very angry with apple's service. I tried all things possible on their site and have continually requested repair service. I constantly get an unrecognized serial number every single time! I have copied it word for word and number for number over and over and over again. I can't even get one on one chat with a representative online because you guys don't recognize a serial number! This is just one big hassle and I don't feel like your service is very helpful at all. I love the Ipod and all it's accessories and other models but this is ridiculous. I even purchased the usb shuffle dock to try and see if it was my computer but it isn't. The dock doesnt recognize my shuffle either. I would appreciate it if Apple would just give me some kind of recognition and service me as a consumer please. I don't want to fill out some fax forms I don't even have a fax machine. Please help me figure out what's wrong or send me the things I need to send my shuffle in for repair thank you.

Just a note, the limited warranty on the Ipod Shuffle is 1 year. So when I got invalid serial number when I entered the s/n I knew something was wrong. What I discovered was that the character that I thought was a zero was actually a "D" and the "5" was actually an "S". Once I entered the correct serial number the website told me how much time I have left under the warranty. They even knew the approximate date that I purchased it - even though I didn't register it. So use a magnifying glass, a younger set of eyes, whatever to make sure you're entering the correct S/N. Now I just have to figure out HOW to return it. Good Luck!

Ipod shuffle not working

Two weeks ago I bought (my first ipod) an ipod shuffle online and it is not working anymore. I didn't have any problems installing the software and downloading the music but after a week of using it my computer and the itunes just doesn't recognize the ipod at all. Everytime i plug the ipod in the USB the "autoplay" comes out but that's all and the orange light keeps blinking. Whenever I turn it on and try to play music the green and orange lights comes out and the ipod doesn't play at all. I can't even update or restore it, the updater always shows that it cannot mount the ipod. I have tried resetting and tried every advice that i found online but it didn't work. I am really really dissappointed and frustrated right now for the fact i just got it and it didn't last that long. I would appreciate any help.

just for the record this is not an ipod shuffle forum.

Ipod Shuffle not working after upgrade to iTunes 7.02

I upgrade to iTunes 7.02 after it prompted me so many times. My Ipod shuffle has 512MB, somehow iTunes 7.02 format it as 34GB, yes, 34GB!! I wouldn't mind it so much if it still works, but it doesn't.
What I have tried so far, I uninstall 7.02 and put back 6.05, still it shows 34GB. It does recognize the Ipod shuffle and allows me to put songs in it, except they don't play.
I download the Ipod shuffle reset utility, but it doesn't recognize the IPod. I am really bumped on this one, nothing to listen to on my long commute.

Hey man... I know what, you were right! I did some more research and ended up looking for any answaers on the Digidesign site. I downloaded the latest version of CoreAudio for my plataform (ProTools TDM Mix Plus with OS X 10.3.9) which is CoreAudio 6.9 and it seems to have solved all of my problems! At least iTunes and QT are opening again and seem to be working good so far. PT also seems to be runing with no problems!! Thanks again for the hint!

Ipod touch not working at all and wont register to charge...help!!

My son has a 4th gen. ipod touch. He had it on sleep mode for an hour and now it isnt working at all. It wont turn on and it wont register when we try to charge it. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it??

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!!
Hi there have a simple answer that works(i did it on my friends iPod touch 4 gen)
Plug the iPod into your sons iPod doc or wall adapter ...NOT PC OR MAC... And hold the sleep and menu button for THIRTY seconds.... This will wipe the iPod clear and will also leave it blank then do not use it at all in anyway shape or form. Wait for ios5 to come out( October the 12th 2011) and then Plug it into your PC or Mac that you originally had it synced with and it will work

IPod Touch not working at all

Last night I was browsing the internet on my iPod Touch. While browsing it gave me the warning "Battery at 20%" . The browser locked up (as it occasionally does) and so I held the power/sleep button to turn it off. So after the screen went black, I went to turn on the iPod and it wouldn't turn on. I took it out of its case and the back felt warm. So since the battery was at 20% I took the chance that the battery might have died.
So I went to go charge it and when I checked it, it still won't turn on. I plugged it into my PC, no indication it was plugged in. I plugged it into my Mac, still no indication on itunes that there was a device plugged in. The only thing I haven't done is let it rest while not connected to a power source for 24 hours. So just incase that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When the charge is very low an iPod is not reconized in iTunes right away. I would advise leaving it connected to the PC or Mac for a few minutes to charge it a little.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!
