Ipod Shuffle wont charge up

i cant seem to charge up my son's ipod shuffle (4th gen). both of my sons have them, they are identical and the 2nd one charges no problem. it has been run down so that the battery is dead (i think) but it wont turn on and no light comes on when i plug it into either usb or mains. (the other one charges up in the same usb port no problem). if anyone has had this problem and has a quick fix i'd be grateful for suggestions. many thanks

I may not check this thread again, but I wanted to let you know I just bought a computer that has 3.0 usb hubs and they do not charge my ipod shuffle. If I plug it in something that has the common 2.0 usb hubs, it works. You may be trying to charge yours on a 3.0 usb hub. If that isn't what the case is, the common way they don't charge, and you may know this, is if your computer goes into sleep mode or is not on (most computers), it will stop charging. If it isn't charging at all, it could be your usb. If you have a cable box, xbox 360, ps3; try those usb ports. I hope this helps!

blinked (front light)

While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn
green UNLESS whatever is causing the light to blink
(access by iTunes, used as data storage drive, ...)
stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
hardware", it might display a solid orange...

NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
the USB port.
it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
It may very be. What happens when you press the
battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
anything?
it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
etc.
Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
disconnected?
first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
i got a red light
when i press the back light now
i get nothing,

My IPod Shuffle wont charge or turn on...do I need to get a new one?...

Hi, I recently got a Ipod Shuffle for christmas. It came in a small box, with headphones and a USB cable. I don't know what generation it is, I guess 3rd or 4th, but honestly, I dont know. But I lost it and found it again about a week later. It was turned off. But it won't turn back on. Does it need to charge or do I need a new one? x

Hey xXFaith_AwesomestXx,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you’ll definitely want to charge the iPod before troubleshooting this issue. If after charging, it still does not respond, try resetting it:

IPod shuffle wont play!!!

i have my ipod shuffle all charged and i just got my iTunes to start working again and i have already put all of the songs on my iPod shuffle but it wont play!
please, if you have any idea why my iPod shuffle is not working or how to fix it please reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,
This isnt an answer, more of declaration of another victim. I have downloaded the newest iTunes version and reset the Shuffle to factory settings (a couple of times now). I can see the song listed in the Shuffle's listing on my screen, I can see the memory drop to acommodate the song but the pod passes over it every time I try to play it. Its very frustrating and I have since downloaded a different song, that has loaded onto the shuffle ok and plays as pernormal. I then decided to re-download the offending song and the same result...shuffle doesnt wanna know.
The damnedest thing is, that that song plays fine from my laptop....
Anyways, just thought you outght to know youre not alone.

Ipod shuffle wont turn on

My IPOD SHUFFLE wont turn on , cant find it on my devices , it doesnt charge PLEASE HELP! i love my ipod shuffle so much!

How long have you left it to charge? It could take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to show any signs of life, and sometimes a hard reset of the iPod is still required to get it to boot up. Here are instructions for rebooting the iPod Shuffle.

Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge with one computer (vista) but not the other computer (windows 8). Please help!

My 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge on my old vitsta computer but not my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone know why that might be? The new computer recognizes the ipod and I can see everything on it, change settings, etc. it just won't charge. Is there a reason as to why this should be happening?

Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
problems?
No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
The other problem is that it will not sync and
transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

My ipod wont charge and i already reseted my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes so what should ido cuz my ipod still wont charge

my ipod wont charge so i resested my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes and my ipod till wont charge what should i do?

You can does that plug your iPod somewhere else like the sockets on walls because sometimes the mac is getting less power so it cant give a bit of power to your iPod if it gives the mac will shut down
If in the socket it doesn't charge get New power adapted if it still doesn't charge get a new USB cable if it still doesn't charge take it to apple :)

My ipod touch wont charge nor will the computer recognize it as an ipod

my iPod touch wont charge when connected to my lab top but it isnt the usb cord or port because it works for a different iPod and my computer wont recognize my ipod.

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 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.

I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer. I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge. I've tried to restore but that didn't work. Advice?

Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given. It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have.
This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

Shuffle wont charge

my shuffle wont charge. The orange light is solid and won't flash like it used to while charging. Also it only flashes for about 10 seconds and then it says that apple update complete, OK to remove i-pod. What do i do???

that's what it should do check the status light card in the box it says a solid amber light means it's gharging and a flashing amber light means it's updating i have my shuffle in the USB port to charge and it has a solid amber light and the battery status light has went from flashing orange to yellow so that is to be expected so...don't panic but if you do have any other problems just post it.

My Ipod 5 wont charge

My ipod 5g wont charge and i dont know why. I tried all the chargers and cubes in my house and new ones. just started this last weekend.
