My Laptop does not recognize my 1st generation shuffle

Hi, My computer as well as itunes does not recognize that my shuffle exists. I've tried:
1) turning on off the shuffle.
2) updating itunes
3) ensuring that the my computer is not cutting power to the usb port. I followed the intruction on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343 for "iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB"
What else should I do?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
1st generation shuffle   Windows XP  

I've had the same problem.
Worked perfectly fine until yesterday lunchtime, but couldn't connect last night or today.

  • ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

    iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB).  Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it.  The iPod plays the music fine.  iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
    What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle?   How can I fix?
    Thanks,I

  • My laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device. I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how

    Hi everyone,
    my laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device anymore.
    I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how.
    The iPhone does charge when I plus it in the USB hub but it does not ask me to import the photos anymore
    and it also doesn't show it as a device when I click on the "computer" button where an SD card or an Usb stick would normally be displayed..
    I don't know what to do

    Thank you, randers4! I now plugged it directly into the ports of my laptop and it's still not recognized.
    Does the app Photosync work for more than a thousand photos or will this take me forever?
    Thanks a lot

  • My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers

    My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers. HP only has updates but not full drivers for Mountain Lion. Some articles say the compatibility might only allow me to print, but the scan feature won't work. I am attempting to use either my HP Color Laser 2840 and my HP Photosmart 209-B printers. I tried to reinstall the printer drivers, but HP doesn't have drivers to download for Mountain Lion OS.
    Anyone else have this issue?

  • Have a mac mini. Just got a external HD. I want to store my itunes media on my external HD and play back on Windows XP laptop. My laptop does not recognize the HD. Only recognizes the empty partition I created on my mac when I partition the drive. What's

    I have a mac mini-snow leopard. I recently bought an external HD. I want to use part of the HD to back up my mac via Time Machine. The other part I want to use to store my Itunes and other media such as movies with VLC so that I can take the HD and play it back thru my windows XP laptop. The problem is that my laptop does not see the part of the external drive that has my mac info stored on it. Only sees the drive ( as drive E ) with zero data that was created by me when I partitioned it on my mac. I partitioned the drive in two. One partitioned under GUID for mac. The other part under exfat for windows. Any suggestions on why my XP laptop cannot view the mac info on the HD. Thanks.

  • Laptop does not recognize ipod (this device is malfunctioning)

    I installed the new itunes and my laptop will not charge, or recognize the ipod is connected. It wont even charge on my pc anymore but, it will charge on my work pc, I only have itunes on my laptop and it use to charge on my pc. help please. If I uninstalled all apple contents should I just move all the songs to another player before I do that, I don't want to loose my current content in itunes.

    If it's not even charging, it's probably just your usb port on your computer.
    Try plug it in another usb port, and see if the same problem exists.
    I wouldn't say it's a problem with iTunes, try these things first:

  • Itunes does not recognize my 6th generation ipod nano.  I installed, unintalled the progam...can't get it to work. any suggestions?

    can't get my itunes to recognize my 6th generation nano.  I have installed/uninstalled.  Restarted and I can't get it to work.  Any suggestions?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • ITunes does not recognize my 2nd generation iPod Touch.

    The computer sees it but iTunes doesn't.
    o iTunes diagnostics says no device is connected.
    o I AM using the Apple-supplied cord.
    o I've tried ALL the USB ports.
    o I've stopped and restarted Apple support utlities then rebooted PC. (Multiple times)
    o I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. (Shut down PC after uninstall. Deleted Apple directory from AppData. Shut down PC agan. Downloaded iTunessetup then reinstalled.)
    o Another iTunes (same version) PC recognizes my Touch and wants to sync it.
    What's changed since the last successful sync?
    o Updated Windows to 8.1.
    o Updated iTunes to 11.1.3.8.
    o I have disabled some irritating Dell run-in-background utilities. (The PC is a Dell Inspiron 14R.)
    Short of buying a new iPod Touch, what do I need to do to get my Touch synced?
    Thank you.

    GOT IT!!!!!
    The following steps worked for me:
    1. Uninstall iTunes.
    2. Uninstall Apple Application Support
    3. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
    4. Uninstall Apple Software Update
    5. Uninstall Bonjour.
    ==> In summary, uninstall EVERYTHING Apple. (I left Quicktime installed as a gamble and won.)
    6. Reboot PC.
    7. Open Windows File Explorer and go to the C: drive.
    8. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files.
    9. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files.
    10. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files (x86).
    11. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files (x86).
    12. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in ProgramData.
    13. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Local.
    14. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\LocalLow.
    15. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Roaming.
    ==> In summary, wander around the C: drive and delete any folders that have "Apple" in their name wherever you can find them. (There should be no folders with 'iTunes" in their name except possibly in Music. That can be left. So can all the folders named "iPod Photo Cache" in Pictures.)
    16. Reboot PC.
    17. Now that any known association with Apple has been removed from the PC, re-install iTunes. (Note: It may be necessary to re-authorize the PC for any content downloaded onto the iPod.)

  • ITunes will not recognize my 4th generation Shuffle

    I bought a new shuffle last week and now when I plug it in to my computer (a macbook) iTunes won't recognize it and there's an orange flashing light. The iPod does show up on my desktop though. Any ideas on what's causing the problem??
