My computer doesn't recognize my shuffle but it recognizes my ipod

I just got a shuffle when I first connected it, it recognized it but when I went to go load up my playlist, it doesn't recognize it anymore. If i connect my IPod that connects just fine, my computer acknowledges it. I'm frustrated, can someone help.
Thank you

I have run out of ideas - sorry. So as a last resort...
By this time many iPods are out of warranty so it'd be easier just to get a new one if you're fed up with it and aren't bothered about loosing what's saved onto it.
I think you can take your old iPod into an Apple store and *get discount off a new iPod*, but I'm not sure if they're still running it.

  • Computer doesn't recognize my Nano but does recognize my daughters.

    I've been using the computer/Nano for over a year now. All of a sudden, the computer isn't recognizing my Nano. When I connect it, no drive is assigned although a new Mass USB Storage Device does appear in Device Manager.
    I tried connecting my daughter's Nano to my computer and it is recognized. I reied connecting my Nano to my daughter's computer and it is recognized. It's just my Nano on my computer.
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipod doesn't Sync or Charge, but does recognize USB cable

    Hi There
    I have a 4th gen 60gb ipod that has worked fine for about 2 years. As of yesterday it doesn't charge when plugged into a charger or USB port (2 different ports with 2 different cables) but the wierd thing is that it does sem to acknowledge the cable being connected/removed as the backlight comes on and it doesn't drain the battery whilst the cable is connected. Also it seems to charge a bit if I boot into the diagnostics menu.
    Resetting has made no difference and it still responds normally otherwise.
    Is it fried? What settings in the diagnostics menu should I be looking at? Is there anything else I can try? All help appreciated!
    Thanks

  • I recently had to get a new harddrive for my computer and lost my itunes. But i have a ipod touch and was wondering if i just download itunes again and sync it with my ipod would all my song and apps be transfered over?

    I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?

    No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

  • Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there

    Alright, I've had this problem for a while now, and I'm at my wit's end. Hope someone can help me.
    First of all, I'm running Windows 8.0 on a Lenovo, using iTunes 11.1.5, and an iPhone on iOS 7.0.6.
    Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there. On top of that, every time I plug in, my phone gives me the same "Trust this computer?" prompt, like it doesnt recognize the computer I told it to trust 5 seconds ago. A couple times, I got lucky and iTunes dignified me with a "An iPhone has been detected, but could not be identified properly." prompt. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile device driver, updating everything, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iphone settings, but nothing works. Any ideas?

  • My computer doesn't recognize my "used" ipod shuffle

    How do I get my computer to recognize my "used" ipod shuffle?

    See how easy it was to state those important facts.  My mind-reading superpower is not working this week... 
    I know how to connect to the UBS port correctly
    I wasn't talking about the USB port end of the cable.  I was talking about the plug that connects to the headphones jack on the shuffle.  That connection can initially be tighter than expected for some people, so make sure it is fully inserted into the headphones jack.  You should feel it click into place.
    I have one short cable and a cable with a port to dock the shuffle. (it lights up)
    If that second one is a third-party cable, make sure it is described as being for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.  A cable that is for the older 2nd gen shuffle does not work, because the connector plug is different.  So, it's possible that you have only one cable that is designed to work withe the 4th gen shuffle?
    Both my shuffles are brand new from Amazon. (I returned one as I thought it was bad)
    IF you returned one of the shuffles, you only have one on-hand to trouble-shoot with at the moment?  "3 bad iPods"?  What model is the third iPod?  It doesn't connect to your computer and iTunes either?  Or maybe you are saying you had three shuffles total and returned one, so now you have two?  Confusing...
    It seems unlikely that you'd get three (or even two) shuffles that do not connect consecutively.  So it still seems to me like it's related to software on the computer, IF it's not one of the things mentioned above.  This document has advice on things to try, when both the computer (Windows) and iTunes do not recognize the shuffle as being connected

    Some of the points you have already tried, and some do not apply to the shuffle.

  • Help!  I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd Gen) from a new computer.  I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle.  When first using iPod, the Setup Assistant comes up but not 2nd setup?? Thx.

    Please help!  I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer.  I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle.  When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer?  The manual doesn't clarify how to do this.  Thanks.

  • My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.

    My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.

    Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier.  I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French.  When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode.  I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case.  I'll post again if I experience more problems.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my iphone - i plug it in to sync it but it doesn't popup in  itunes

    my computer doesn't recognize my iphone - i plug it in to sync it but it's icon doesn't popup in  itunes - what's wrong?

    this is weird, but it ususally works for me: try blowing in both ends of your usb plug to make sure theres not any dust lurking there. do the same to the baottom of your iphone where you plug the cord into. its not a techy kind of solution but it works for me and my friends.
