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...

  • 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

  • When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software.  Is there a bug in the iPod program?

    If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

  • 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 won't connect to my Mac... Help?

    My iPod won't connect with my Mac anymore.
    It connected last time I tried it (four months ago, about). It's a Gen Two or Three (I don't know the difference, sorry) and I haven't changed anything about my Mac since then, or my iTunes.
    If you can help at all, please reply. And don't hesitate to ask for more info.
    EDIT: Oh, and I've tried resetting the iPod, putting it in Disk Mode, using a different USB port and restarting the computer (several times).
    The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" and the iPod symbol appears on Finder and I am able to access it, but it won't appear in iTunes.

    I was having the same problem--no iPod on Desktop, no iPod in iTunes. This fixed it for me, at least:
    1. Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. (My iPod DID show up here, though it wasn't mounted.)
    2. Select the iPod in the disk list on the left.
    3. Click "Verify Disk." (In my case, this revealed an underlying error.)
    4. Click "Repair Disk." (If this works, great--stop here. It didn't work for me...)
    5. Click the "Erase" tab at the top of the right-hand main pane.
    6. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for Volume Format.
    7. Click "Erase" button at bottom right.
    Almost immediately, my iPod showed up on my Desktop, iTunes launched, and it was as though I had completed a Restore of the iPod.
    Hope that helps....

  • MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall. Help!

    MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
    There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.

    Hello Casey B,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try re-installing the latest version from this page on top of the current installed version and see if that helps.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If nothing else, remove the Application from your Mac entirely, and again download the latest version from the link above.
