And neither will it. Any playlists on the iPod will show under "devices" (when your iPod is connected).
Btw, this a forum for the iPod mini not the shuffle. You might want to post in a shuffle forum.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

    It should be called "iPod" IF it were a REAL, genuine Apple iPod shuffle.
    What you have is a FAKE... which explains why it isn't shoing up in iTunes.
    IF it was advertised as an Apple iPod shuffle by the seller, I would try to get my money back.
    Case closed...

  • Ipod shuffle not showing in my computer

    I have the same problem everyone else and none of the antidotes or fixes seem to work for me. My ipod shows up in the device manager as an ipod but shows as other device. Also the ipod doesnt show in my computer at all. I keep getting a cant "find driver" but yet I have the drivers in system32 I meet all the requirments and my USB ports work fine. I know these are the right drivers because I downloaded my ipod on my parents pc{which is the same as mine} and everything worked fine. Somehow the USB ports are not directed to get the driver or the path has changed. Should reinstall my operating system(windows xp home)??? Please help

    My computer supports two Shuffles (but not at the same time). When they're plugged-in they don't show up in "My Computer" but in the Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager they're recognized simply as "Apple iPod USB Device" with no driver installed. They, nonetheless, work just fine and are recognized by iTunes in its Source List. I wouldn't worry too much if your computer has a problem recognizing your Shuffle -- the important thing is to get it working with iTunes.

  • Music wont show on new computer

    I recently got a new Gateway desktop with a HP monitor which I previously owned. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and once it was fully installed and ready to use, I connected my iPhone to my computer. The driver was installed successfully. However, my music is not in the iTunes library at all, and I am scared to do anything because I dont want to lose the songs that are already on my phone. I tried to transfer my purchases, but only 30 songs went through because I do not buy all of my songs. I could not think of anything else to do, so in order to preserve my songs on my phone, I uninstalled iTunes and am now on here asking for any assisstance. So please, how can I mke sure all of the songs on my phone get into the iTunes library?

    You need to move your old iTunes music folder to the new computer and authorize it.

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

  • My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

    Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
    Any tips are very much appreciated.

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)  Or go into an Apple Store.

  • I can't get my new (used) iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices

    I can't get my used iPod shuffle to appear in My Computer or iTunes Devices.  Any ideas?

    Which iPod shuffle model is it?  This article about syncing the shuffle shows the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    As a test, you can try shutting down (powering off) and disconnecting all USB devices (including hub).  Start it up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if it's not a laptop).  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port.

  • HT1481 How do I get rid of my music on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs?

    How do I get rid of old songs on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs??

    This is document lists the four iPod shuffle models and the ways to sync music to the shuffle.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    The way you remove songs depends on the model (1st and 2nd gen versus 3rd and 4th gen), and the method being used to add songs.  I don't know your specifics (please provide), I'll go with one possibility...
    You have a 4th (current) gen shuffle and you use the manual method to load the shuffle, by dragging songs to the shuffle from your iTunes library in iTunes (or using the Autofill feature). If that is your shuffle model and how you load it...
    First, in the latest iTunes, the sidebar can be hidden.  To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
    To remove songs, select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  "Drop down" its content list, which is indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see a list of songs currently on the shuffle.  Select the song you want to remove, and hit the Delete key on keyboard.  Confirm action.  You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entire list (by selecting Select All from the File menu). 
    If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or you use automatic syncing (not manual loading or Autofill), please post back.

  • 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.
