    my computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

    So I recently had this same problem.  My Shuffle 2nd gen would not be recognized by my iTunes.  It had been a few years since i used it and at one point may have been connected to iTunes on a PC.  After several tries at troubleshooting, I realized that maybe the device is corrupted.  Since my iMac would not recognize the Shuffle, I connected to a PC and it appeared as a disk.  I reformatted the Shuffle in FAT32, plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes recognized it just fine but as a new device.  So if you have access to a PC, reformat it there and then try your Mac iTunes again. 

  • My computer won't recognize my iPod Shuffle

    I have a iPod shuffle and it won't sync with iTunes nor appear on "My Computer" page.
    I've tried 4 different computers, and all I got is the same thing: nothing.
    I don't know if I can put in on Disk Mode. If it's possible, please tell me how. If it's not, let's move on.
    The cable chargers normally my iPod. So I don't think it's a problem on the cable itself.
    What should I do?

  • Computer won't detect iPod

    Hi,
    My computer won't detect my iPod when I plug it in. I open up iTunes and it won't show up in the list. It gets a picture of a sad ipod on it, and as it starts up it makes an odd clicking noise. I cannot get it into disk mode. I've tried all of the solutions at the apple support site and it simply won't work. I downloaded the iPod Updater software and I got it running but it couldn't detect my iPod for some reason. Ive switched the cable to different USB ports and my comp wont detect it. Also when I try and reset it, (after the clicking noise stops and it shuts off) there is an icon which looks like a battery with rough, jagged, or broken ends. What does this mean and what can I do?

  • My windows 7 computer will not detect my ipod since updating both itunes and windows.  I've tried downloading them again and testing the ipod on a different computer which does detect it.

  • My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle.  The computer says to use the ipod reset utility.  When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have.  My computer is only a few months old.  What do I do now?

    My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle.  The computer says to use the ipod reset utility.  When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version.  I guess I do not have a 32 bit version.  I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system.  What do I do now?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • Computer Won't Detect iPhone5?

    Hey,
    I recently bought an iPhone5 and downloaded and installed iTunes etc. I installed all required updates.
    Problem is, my computer won't detect the iPhone at all. I've tested my old phone and my computer picks that up just fine, but with the iPhone it doesn't find it at all. I'm not just referring to iTunes. It doesn't pick it up at all, as in it doesn't show underneath MyComputer or under Removable Devices.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Greenation

    I would call Apple or take it and its cable to an Apple store. It could be a bad cable, even if it charges, because there are 8 wires in the cable and only 2 are involved in charging. If you plan to take it to a store make a Genius Bar appointment first at http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/

  • Computer won't detect camera

    All of a sudden my computer won't detect my Rebel XT. I replaced the USB cord but nothing is even detected in "My Computer" or in the Device Manager. I am sure that the USB ports work properly as they work with other devices.  I reinstalled the software it came with and tried changing the communication settings on the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions? 

    Hello!

  • Help! Computer won't detect mic unless webcam is plugged in...

    Has this happened to anyone else? I have 2 different headsets and my computer won't detect the microphone on either on unless the webcam is plugged in. It doesn't seem to have any problem with the speakers, but I can't use the mic until I plug in the webcam. Please help! This is really annoying!!
    Oh, and I'm using Windows Vista, and the Live! Cam Notebook Pro (VF0400) with the headset that came with it and another headset (not a Creative headset).
    Message Edited by triciater on 11-28-2007 11:33 PM

    hm... yes! you have same problem as me. I can't change to another mic till webcam is plugged. And this is due to the fact that the webcam has a built-in microphone inside.Moreover in my case, it must be another problem too, because the other person with who I talk hear sometimes a strong noise. I need to change microphone in the Skype options (I go to the Microsoft Microphone, even if it can hear nothing) and I go back on the mic of the cam. The noise disappear for some moments... after again and I do the same.Could someone help us?For me it would be nice to deactivate the mic of the cam and use an headset that doesn't give this noise problem.

    Try connecting the iPod to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restoring it to factory settings.

  • My computer won't charge my ipod or recognize that it's there

    My computer won't charge my ipod or recognize that it's there, now my ipod is out of battery, won't turn on, and to put it plainly, won't work. I cannot find my wall charger and the ipod will not reocognize anything as a power source so it won't charge...How do I make my computer recognize my ipod....it's only a couple of months old so the batttery probably isn't completely dead.

    do you have any other usb devices? try plugging one in and see if it works, and that the computer recognizes it (digital camera, printer, bluetooth mouse/keyboard, memory stick). The computer should recognize any device. If not, the computer is at fault. First thing I'd do is buy an external charger, one that fits a 110 electrical outlet or something for the car. But thats just me because I cant live without the ipod.
    One more thought - do you plug the ipod into the computer via a usb hub?? sometimes hubs starve the device of power which can stop them from being recognized. I had that problem with a camera. Unplugged the hub, plugged the camera directly to the pcs usb port and it worked.

  • My computer won't acknolwedge my ipod when its plugged in and then some!!!!

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
