I plugged my ipod to my computer and it didn't recognized, displaying this leyend "No se reconoce el dispositivo usb"
I will try to translate this "the usb hardware is not recognized"
now i cant add new songs in my ipod, it continues playing music.
what can i do?
sorry for the spelling, my english is not so fluid

Did you recently purchase a Lexar Flash Jump Drive? If so, the encryption files you downloaded are causing conficts.
They file LexarFilterScheme.kext in the directory: System/Library/Extension needs to be deleted as this file is causing issues. I had the same issue and I called Lexar at 510-413-1275 and they emailed me updated driver software and all works well now.
Maybe a long shot but you never know!

Ipod Shuffle is not recognized on Windows Laptop

Hello,
since last week my 3 month old Shuffle is not recognized on any Windows Laptop. In addition it is not seen as a device, so I can't follow the hints you gave on this site.
When I connect it the orange light is turning on and out. The battery is recharging.
The reset of turning out for 5seconds doesn't help.
Any ideas ?

My only suggestion is doe the laptop have any camera/scanner software that maybe interfering with the iPod showing in iTunes?

2nd Gen iPod shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or computer

I read the other posts about people's 2nd Gen Ipod shuffles not being rcognized by iTunes or their computer, but none of them seemed to fit.
I have had my iPod shuffle for less than a week. Last time I had my iPod connected to iTunes in the "Settings" section I clicked "Do not automatically open iTunes and synch with iPod" or something along those lines. I assumed this meant iTunes wouldn't always open when I plugged it in to charge it.
However, now when I plug it into my computer, iTunes does not recognize it and I get a message from my computer that there is a "USB Device Not Recognized" and the error message reads: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." It shows up as an "Unrecognized Device". I have tried plugging it into a different USB port, and I have also downloaded the "Ipod Reset Utility" to try to reset it to it's factory settings, in case that would allow it to synch up with iTunes again. This does not work. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can get iTunes to recognize my iPod again? Thank you!

Brand new ipod shuffle (2nd gen). When I plug it into the USB port, a "Disk Insertion" prompt warning appears with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The two options in the prompt window are 'Eject' or 'Ignore.'
Having read other message boards, I decided to plug it into a PC computer and re-formatted it with FAT 32 filing system, but the exact same thing still happens. My MacBook give me the same message when I plug the shuffle to the computer. iTunes does not recognize it that anything is plugged in either.
Any suggestions?

Ipod shuffle is not recognized by any computer or itunes

I have a first gen. ipod shuffle. It does not show up in Windows or Itunes on two different computers. The original problem was that it would not skip to the next song. I was going to reset or restore it, but I can't because neither computer (dell) that i own recognizes the shuffle. Help anyone?

I have downloaded that utility but can not use it, as
when I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it is not
recognized by either computer I am using. I can not
reset or restore, because in order to do that the
computer would have to know the shuffle is plugged in
and it doesnt. I have tried this on two different
computers and get the same result, so I dont think
its a computer issue, its an ipod issue. I also used
to be albe to play the shuffle on the Xbox 360 and
now can not.
Just as a check, did you actually follow the THESE directions...EXACTLY?
Using iPod shuffle Reset Utility
1. Quit all running applications on your computer.
2. Open the iPod shuffle Reset Utility.
3. Connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard or other non-powered USB hub.
4. Click the Restore button. If prompted, enter an Admin user name and password.
5. The restore process will start.
6. When it is complete, quit iPod shuffle Reset Utility and open iTunes to sync music to your iPod shuffle.

4 gen Ipod shuffle is not recognized by windows

I charged my 4 gen i pod shuffle and configured an updated i tunes to transfer songs (mp3 files) directly from my desktop. Nevertheless i tunes had showed ipod as a driver in the windows explorer and has also showed a mp3 files list from my desktop, I transfered only two mp3 files to the device, because, suddenly, ipod icon stopped to appear in the windows explorer. After that first time (it has happened yesterday), the green light now starts to blink 4 times.. but after that it won't response. Now, it is not recognized by my computer and by i tunes as well. I can't transfer more mp3 files to my i pod. Please, help.

IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

Hello
I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod.
I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
Many thanks.

Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?
Laptop Windows XP

Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
What kind of laptop is it?

Older Model iPod Shuffle is not recognized on my computer or in iTunes

I had an old iPod shuffle that was a gift -- I'd never opened it. A friend hooked it up to her computer and put some songs on it. I was thrilled to finally be able to use it, but wasn't happy with the song selection. So I downloaded iTunes and loaded all my cds in there. That worked, but when I hook the shuffle up to the computer, there is no recognition of it -- at all. Not in the devices or on iTunes. What do I do?
Thanks!

i have the same problem.. trying to get my kids older shuffle to be reconized.. so im trying to charge it up again.. any other ideas ?

IPod shuffle ('05) not recognized.

how does one know when the device is no longer working. It plays songs, the light flashes when it's plugged into mac (10.6.8 MacBook Pro) but it won't show up on this mac or even my older iBook. I thought it was a compatibility problem but then it would have worked on older mac too.

2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle is not recognized by Power Mac G4 Mirror Door

When I first bought my Shuffle and connected it to my G4 it worked flawless, i put my music on the shuffle and charged it . About 3 weeks later i went to put some new music on it and i plugged it into the dock (iTunes usually comes up automaticly and it shows that my shuffle is connected to the computer), this time it didnt open iTunes and the ipod icon didnt show up on the desktop, i tried taking it off the dock and unplugging it from the computer then plugging it back in and it still wasnt getting recognized. My ipod still plays music fine but when i connect it to my G4 it just blinks amber once and then thats it, nothing happens. Anyone else have similar problem? I cant figure it out.

Is the Shuffle dock connected to one of the REAR USB ports? What does Apple System Profiler say about the USB tree? Does it show the Shuffle?

Ipod shuffle, 4th, not recognized by itunes.

When I connect ipod to computer, a troubleshoot/fix error window pops up. Also states it could be missing a file. I checked my device, and it says it is okay. I have another ipod that I tried, and itunes won't list that under devices either. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent working on this. Help.

Tried that as well as updated everything else I could think of and still no ipod under devices. Also purchased software and cleaned up registry as well as any other errors on computer
