My ipod shuffle is not working anymore
Here's my scenario,
i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.
Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

ITunes shuffle is not working anymore
iTunes shuffle is not working anymore after downloading latest version. The shuffle button is highlighted but it just plays the next track.
If you need to change the computer that the iPad is synced to then see this user-tip : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you don't have all of your content on a backup that you can copy onto your new computer and into its iTunes (File > Add To Library), then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the iPad to it via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases). For content from other sources (e.g. music that you copied form CDs) which you don't have on a backup, there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPad. -
My iPod shuffle is not working. It just blinks in green then orange, orange, orange, then shutdown. Don't know what to do. Please help! Thanks!
According to this article, that means the Shuffle's buttons are disabled.
iPod shuffle (2nd generation): Understanding status light behavior
To re-enable the buttons, press and hold the Play/Pause button for about 3 seconds or until the status light blinks green three times.

Ipod shuffle does not work on USB 2.0 but works on USB 1.1
The ipod shuffle works fine but slow on the USB 1.1 port but is recognized as a corrupt Ipod (by the itunes 7.1.1.5) when I use the USB 2.0
The ipod was first used by the the USB1.1 port because the machine did not have a 2.0 port. I installed a USB 2.0 card and my other USB mass storage works fine on the 2.0 but not the ipod. I have tried to reset the software but the ipod don't respond on the 2.0 ports. I have reset on the 1.1 port with no problems. I have windows XP pro SR2. Do I need to uninstall the itunes and reinstall.
I don't understabd why even when recognised by the usb1.1 ports why can't I access the ipod through windows explorer like any other usb storage device, it would save the hazzle with the itunes software (click and drag in widows explorer works fine on other usb devices).Hi raymarcus,
Have you tried reinstalling your USB drivers? See this for instructions:
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
Also, are you on a laptop? If so, then make sure that your computer is not set to conserve power by automatically turning off the power to its USB ports. See this for details:
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

Ipod shuffle voiceover not working
I have a 4th gen. ipod shuffle. Fairly recently, the voiceover stopped working. The button still works. When I press it, the music that's playing becomes quieter for a few seconds. However, the robotic voice that says the song titles is missing. I have voiceover enabled. The ipod was exposed to magnets, but none of the music was affected. Could this have somehow caused the voiceover to stop working? More importantly, how can I fix it?
The Shuffle makes use of flash storage, versus using a traditional hard drive that makes use of a magentic read/write head. So no, the magnets would not have had any affect on the iPod.
As for the issue with VoiceOver, have you tried a simple reset yet to see if that makes a difference?
Resetting iPod shuffle
Otherwise, can you think of anything else that may have changed with the Shuffle since the last time VoiceOver was working properly on it?

What to do when my iPod shuffle is not working/charging?
Okay so my iPod shuffle(4th Generation) is not working/charging.
What shold I do? Is it because of the battery?
I haven't used this since my Aunt bought it for me..
Can I reset it just like my iPod touch?If so, how?
H~E~L~P!!
please comment below!You can try shutting down the computer and disconnecting all USB devices including hub. Start up with no USB devices connected (except for standard keyboard and mouse if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Run iTunes. Connect shuffle to a direct USB on computer.
If that does not help, there are four possible causes. Rule them out one at a time, if possible.
Bad USB port on computer - You mentioned an iPod touch. If you are able to connect to iTunes with the iPod touch, using the same USB port, I think you can rule out a bad USB port.
Bad USB cable - You would need to try your USB cable with another 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, OR try your shuffle with a known-good USB cable from another 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle.
Software problem on computer - If that iPod touch works properly, the computer's software is probably OK. If iTunes is not the latest version (my current Mac version says 11.02), you could try updating it. But I think software problem is ruled out, if the iPod touch works fine, unless your iTunes version is really old.
If you can rule out those three possibilities, then the remaining cause is a hardware problem on the iPod. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. If you weren't able to rule out a bad USB cable, I'm sure they have a cable there to use as a test (but take your cable along). If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty. You can make a reservation at the store's web page.

My iPod Shuffle is not WORKING! Advice please!
Hello,
I have iPodShuffle that stoped working this weekend. Just like that! When I say stop working, mean it doesn't appear in Finder or iTunes, but it mounted /Volumes/ without contents. (I also use my iPodShuffle as file storage for over a year now)
So I went to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950 (iPod missing in iTunes and Mac desktop) to get some support on how I can get my baby working again. Problem here is that latest iPod updater is in iTunes and restore instruction is assuming that it appears on my iTunes.
I want to restore to factory settings but older updaters don't seems to work (it hangs).
I've also pluged in on Windows machine and see if I see my files (since I also use it as file storage) and I do, but no contents (Keep saying insert Disk E).
I appreciate any useful advice (i don't want to hear "why did you even buy ipodshuffle thing, since I already have one).
Thank you!

HT4322 iPod Shuffle VoiceOver not working 4th Gen.
My iPod Shuffle 4th generation blue without engraving is normally playing great, and I've just had it for 3 days. I synced it 3 times. I don't know what the cause of this is, but the voiceover button is not telling me what song I'm playing or my battery life, but for some reason, it IS telling me the playlist I'm on. I don't know what the problem is but I would appreciate help ASAP.
Did you go through the procedure described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
to enable VoiceOver on the shuffle's Summary tab in iTunes? This document also provides instructions for using VoiceOver, so you can take a look at that too.
NOTE: Playlist menu is press and hold. Track announcement is press and release. -
Ipod shuffle completly not working
i have an ipod shuffle 2nd gen, and i was recently useing it and the battery died. i went to plug it in to my windows 7 laptop and it wont appear on itunes or my device manager, also it wont charge even if i use a mains adapter please can you help me
So your Shuffle is not charging whether its plugged into a mains adapter or via a USB port on your PC? How long have you left it to charge? If the mains adapter compatible with the 2G Shuffle? Have you tried using a different cable perhaps?
Lastly, double check the connection to the Shuffle, to make sure that it is nice and snug. If the connector is not pushed all the way in, the Shuffle will not charge.

It's fully charged
It appears in iTunes
It is loaded with music
but I can't get it to work
I read something about a reset function which could be donloaded . . . . . ?I have just bought a Ipod Shuffle 4G. It's very good.
The resons:
- Battery (no because You have charged) So - This reson is wrong
- MusicFile (you need check again)
- Headphone (You can try it with an another)
- AND YOU HAVE TO READ ALL THINGS IN "Ipod Shuffle _ 4thgen _ User Guide' - You can download it on the web of Aplle. (Support - Ipod shuffle 4thgen)
Goog Luck!
I love Ipod...It's very interesting

Shuffle feature not working anymore
I have an iphone 3G. The "shuffle" feature on the ipod doesn't seem to be working. The same song just keeps repeating. Is there a button or setting that needs to be reset?
Check to make sure the repeat setting has not been enabled. To do this, tap the artwork one time from the Now Playing screen to bring up additional controls. You will see an icon with two arrows going in a circle. Tap this icon until it turns white, mean it is Off.
