Ipod Shuffle wont connect to computer and i cannot charge it.

My ipod shuffle charges via the computer and my computer is not recognizing the ipod and neither is itunes. I have treid all your 5 steps and its still not working, i cannot "RESET" it because my ipod isnt being recognised at all!!
Help please.

They're not -my- five steps. They are, however, a useful start to troubleshooting iPod issues. Unfortunately, since Resetting iPod shuffle doesn't require the use of a computer, or require that the shuffle be recognized by your computer, I really don't know what you've done so far.
Here are some other things to try. iPod missing from My Computer A number of the things in this list won't be applicable to the shuffle, of course.
Good luck

IPod shuffle wont connect to my MAC

My shuffle is brand new, but I can't connect to my iBook G4. Everything is updated. iTunes will read it, but tells me that I have to restore it. I have restored it, both through iTunes and the Utility one, and nada. But for some reason, it works with my PC. Please help.

Have you tried it on another Mac? Take it AND your iBook to an Apple Store and have them test it...

my ipod shuffle wont charge the orange light just
blinked (front light)
when plugged in, for hours
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...
i upgraded the software and reset the ipod
now when plugged in no light ??
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,

This is the iPod touch forum. I requested your post be moved to the iPod Shuffle forum.
Have you tired another cable?

IPod Shuffle 3G won't charge, or do anything.

My iPod Shuffle 3G won't charge, connect to my Mac or give me any sign that it's working. I used it about two weeks ago and it was working but now it is not responding to any thin I do. When I plug it in to my computer it never shows up on my iTunes and when it's plugged in all it does is get hot after a few minutes so I unplug it because I know that's not good. I tried to see if it would show up under Disk Utilities but no luck. I am thinking that there is no hope for this $80 paper weight but I just want to know that I have done all that I can. If someone knows how I can fix it then please tell me other wise I am done wasting my time trying to fix it. It is also out of warranty by a month so I can't take it in to get fixed by Apple.

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.

My ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house

my ipod touch wont connect to wi-fi @ my house.
I'm Having trouble cause i just got it used & I reset & rebooted it now I don't know how to program it. Someone please out of the goodness of your hearts," Help Me Please?"

Might be a good idea to start by reading the User's Guide.
Also, this is the iTunes for Windows forum... the issue has nothing to do with iTunes. In the future, please post to the appropriate forum.

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.
If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

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!

My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected. The audio output is also affected. You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside. So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer. It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one. You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again. If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.
