My ipod Shuffle Gen 2 is not recognised by itunes AND computer...!!

Hi my ipod shuffle 2nd gen is not being recognised by my computer. I have installed the new itunes and it does not recognise it either.
However it does a little flash thing with the lights when i ccnnect it, but then they turn off. I know that this means it needs restoring. But how can i restore it if the computer doesnt recognise it??
thanks!

I'm also having the same problem with my 2nd gen iPod Shuffle. iTunes on my Mac does not recognize it and will not sync with it. Occasionally, iTunes will recognize it but then when I try to sync it, iTunes then does not recognize it.
Interestingly, when I hook this Shuffle up to iTunes on my Windows machine, it does recognize it and will sync up.
What might be the problem here and how can it be corrected? If anyone has any thoughts/solutions, please let us know.
Thanks...

  • Ipod shuffle second generation not recognized by iTunes or computer

    Hi all,
    So I was downloading songs off of LimeWire (shame on me, i know, but i had no money in the itunes store and i dont use my dads credit card for song purchases), and i put a song on my ipod shuffle 2G and it immediately disconnected from the computer. When I reconnected it to the dock, it did not appear in the "Devices" section of the iTunes sidebar, or in finder. It still plays music fine, and charges, but I would like to clear the songs off of it as I am giving it away. However, it doesnt show up in iTunes or in disk utility as another post elsewhere suggested, and the ipod resetter can't find it. So, does this sound like a virus or corrupted song file? I dont think it was, as whenever I download a corrupted song from limewire, the computer alerts me and doesnt allow the file into iTunes. any thoughts? help?
    thanks

    You might do better in the iPod forum.
    With Limewire you get more than you pay for.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • My iPod Classic 160GB is not recognised on iTunes - it says that there is no iPod found? When its plugged in! Please help

    iPod classic is not recognised on iTunes. My iPod screen is flickereing constantly - from upside down to the right way around. It wont even show up on my iTunes. I plug it in to my MacBook and it gives me the option to restore but then once Ive clicked it says that 'it cannot be restored as there is no iPod found' when it connected and it says so on my iPod screen. Please help! Thanks J

    Tried resetting the ipod and its enabled to be used as hard disk on itunes.
    I assume you mean the "Enable Disk Use" option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

  • IPad not recognised in iTunes and showing not charging from wall charger

    I have had my ipad a year and today it is not recognised in itunes, also when charging from a wall socket 10A ipad charger it shows Not Charging (however trickle charges). I have tried resetting (holding both buttons for 10 sec) with no benefit, i am reluctant to resset everything as if this does not work I have a dead iPad.
    No other items have changed and there does not appear to be any visable damage in the conector on the iPad, note an ipod conects in itunes, so it is not a Mac side issue. This feels like a software issue on the iPad.
    Any help appreciated if anyone else has had this issue.
    Thanks

    Update: Apple agreed to a replacement iPad even though I did not return faulty one to dealer till 2 weeks outside of warranty.  The replacement looks brand new.  Dealer told me Apple does not repair iPads as they are a sealed unit.  I am doubtful that is true.  Suspect they do 'refurbish' and use as replacements.  Am grateful to Apple for the new iPad.  Two thoughts as to why they agreed to it despite faulty one out of warranty: 1) Consumer Guarantee Act in New Zealand - which trumps manufacturers warranties and says among other things that goods sold must be of an 'acceptable quality' (and I did mutter to the dealer about the CG Act); 2) It stops owners blabbing on forums like this what component failed on their iPad... and hmmm maybe Apple recognises a problem with the lifespan of the dock connector/cable.

  • IPod Shuffle 1st Generation not recognised on only one of my computers

    The iPod can be recognised on my netbook running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and my desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. However, on one desktop which is running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, it does not recognise the iPod in iTunes. In device manager, I can see 'Apple iPod USB Device' and 'Unknown Device'. This 'Unknown Device' only occurs when I plug in the iPod. 'My Computer' can't see it either. I had a look in 'Disk Management' and I saw 'Removable Disk' and 'No media'. I reinstalled iTunes and the drivers many times but nothing changes. I even tried an alternative to iTunes but that didn't work either. I also tried switching USB ports to no avail. I am very confused why it only doesn't work with one computer.

    Sorry I just realised it's an iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation. I'm terribly sorry for not realising it earlier. Could someone possibly move this to the right forum?
    Anyway, when I said the computer doesn't recognise the iPod, if I wait a long time, iTunes will eventually see it and say it is 'corrupted' and suggests restoring it. It still works fine on my other two computers. I tried restoring it as it suggested but it just gets stuck on 'Restoring iPod' for hours and nothing happens.

  • Ipod touch Gen 4 not recognised on PC Win XP Pro

    I have just got Ipod Touch Gen 4 and connected to PC but PC doe not recognise Ipod therefore cannot setup. I have updated Itunes to V10 and also did Win XP SP3 update and still no luck. Tried restarting Ipod. This is my 1st Apple product and already hate it as it is not working easily with PC. I'm sure that once it all gets connected I will be fine but finding it very frustrating so far.

    Having exactly the same trouble. Did the 5R's, and have followed instructions online. Have rang Apple support, been to the Apple shop, and absolutely nothing. Can't get my PC or itunes to recognise my ipod touch gen 4 or my iphone. I had itunes installed, my ipod got stolen, and this is a replacement. It wouldn't connect when I got it out of the box. Apart from throwing it against the wall, I am at a loss as to what to do next. Oh and this has been going on for a week . I've lost count how many times I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.
