  • My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

    My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

    first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
    second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

  • TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

    My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector.  It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer.  I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

    Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee.  One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
    The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase.  Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window).  Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID.  This gets you to your Account Information screen.  Find Purchase History and click See All.  On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
    If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

  • My ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?, my ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?

    my ipod shuffle will not charge fully, the light that comes on when i try to charge just flashes red, and the battery lasts for about 20 mins max and then advises battery is low and then dies!

    That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged.  Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush.  Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case.  If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

  • HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

    My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

    Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer.  The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
    In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there?  Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

  • Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

    Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...)  and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

    Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

  • IPod shuffle will not connect to car audio

    my 2015 Lexus audio system recognizes my iPod Nano's (6th &7th generation) without any problems via BT or USB; does the 4th gen iPod shuffle have the capability to play through my car's audio system with it's USB cable?

    Probably not, because the iPod shuffle does not have the "standard" iPod dock connector.  It uses the headphones jack as the connection point for data.  Also, the shuffle is designed to be a more limited device, in terms of its interaction capabilities.
    A better choice for connecting to a car audio system is an inexpensive USB flash drive.  You may already have one.  For example, this one barely sticks out of the USB port
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33016G/
    and has many times the storage capacity of a shuffle.  You can load it with your favorite songs and just leave it connected in the car, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod (which causes wear on the iPod).

  • Ipod shuffle will not be recognised by computer or itunes- help?

    I recieved an ipod shuffle as a second-hand gift from my friend, but had to buy a third-party (I think) cable, as the one it came with had previously been lost. My friend had used it on several of her computers, and managed to put music on it, and it worked fine. Now, when I plug it into my laptop, it charges (green light) but doesn't connect at all. The computer doesn't even recognise that there its anything attatched. Can you help me? I really don't want to have to give it back, from the trouble that getting the cable caused, but buying another iPod and keeping the shuffle would seem greedy.
    P.S. Her OS is XP, but mine is Vista. could that be something to do with it?

    I had a very similar issue with both of my daughters' ipod shuffles. I tried a few days ago to sync up their shuffles. My computer(XP) and my laptop(Vista) would not recognize any of them.
    One shuffle was bought last Christmas 2008 and the other one was bought in March of this year. I tried everything I could think of to get them to be recognized by either device.
    This morning I tried something that I did not think of to do earlier. I borrowed one of my nieces original USB/charger that came with her shuffle. I plugged it up and it synced up with no problems at all. Both of my daughters managed to get their original ones either lost or chewed up by a dog, so I had to buy some third-party ones for them which worked fine the last time I actually synced them up months ago. The brands are Dynex and Belken (both still work fine for me as far as charging/syncing up my ipod touch).
    I don't know if something has changed(programming?) since the last time I synced up thier shuffles. I know their has been several newer versions of Itunes since then. I have the most up-to-date version installed on my PC and laptop now. The original Apple USB/charger always works with both of the shuffles. The third-party ones I have no longer work as far as syncing up with Itunes. They will still charge the shuffles though.

  • IPod Shuffle will not install or connect to iTunes!

    I recently got a Toshiba laptop so had to transfer everything from my old laptop to there. As expected I re-installed iTunes and install my iPhone 4S, iPod Classic, Touch & Nano all work fine. However, my iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen (the one with no buttons) will not install its driver to my PC or connect to iTunes. I dont have a clue what is wrong as when I plug it in it charges with the light and it plays music thats on it from my old laptop fine! The only onboard button is the 3 way switch (OFF/REPLAY/SHUFFLE).
    I give many thanks to any help given!
    Thanks,

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 1st generation iPod shuffle will not allow me to sync any podcasts onto it...what do I do?

    My 1st generation iPod shuffle isn't letting me sync my podcasts even though they can play in iTunes

    I did recently move to a new NetGear wireless cable voice gateway router (CG3100) and this is when the problems started
    In order for the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network provided by the Netgear router, you need to know exactly what type of wireless security settings that the Netgear is using.
    Unless you provide the Express with the exact information required to join the network, you will continue to see error messages after you click Update during the configuration.
    The message about the "settings have been successfully stored" is a misnomer. This tells you that the settings have been saved, but not if they were the correct settings.
    You will know that you have the right settings about 40-45 seconds after you click Update. If the light turns green, your settings are correct.
