My Mac doesn't recognise Ipod Shuffle 6th when I connect it
Hi,
I have a problem wuth my new Ipod shuffle 6th generation.
Whan I connect it to my Imac (with Itunes upgrated) it isn't recognised. How can I do?
Thank you
First of all, try a USB port that is built into the Mac, in preference to a USB hub or a USB port on the keyboard. Then, check if the LED is doing anything when it is plugged into that port, and wait a few minutes before concluding it isn't doing anything, as the battery may need to be charged for a while before it starts up.

So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear. What do I do?
Does the Shuffle appear ini Tunes at all? If not try using a different USB port and double checking to make sure the other end of the syncing cable is firmly seated in the Shuffle.

Maverick doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th generation on iTunes
my macbook pro late 2011 doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th gen 6.1.5 on iTunes. I read another thread how to sync via WiFi or ethernet but i don't understand. I just want to sync my music.not apps.
1.Does iTunes give you a message to Erase and Sync, are you trying to put Music from your iPod into iTunes?
2. if the iPod Touch is just not showing up, Go to the Black Apple in the top left hand corner, Select About this Mac, then Click on More Info, the Click on System Report, Under Hardware go to USB is the iPod showing up there in the USB device Tree?
If yes to 1., this is not possible, download Third Party Application and Procede from there
If the device is not showing up in 2. , are there any other items connected to the Computer via USB, if yes, you have a bad cable or bad pin on the ipod touch, if not connect something else to the USB and see if it shows up in 2.
If you do not have any other things connected to the computer via USB and can not connect anything else to a USB try Removing everything from the ports of the computer, Quit any applications, then Shut Down the Computer
When the Computer is shut down
Reset SMC Hold "Control+Option+Shift ( on the left hand side of the computer) and the Power Key all at the same time,for about 10 seconds, if you do this correctly then the computer will NOT Turn On
Then Locate Command+Option+P+R (the last two are letter keys), You will need to press and hold these buttons after Powering on the Computer and hearing the Startup Chime, if you do this correctly the Computer will go Black, White, and the make the Chime again
If this does not solve the Issue and the Device is still not showing up in 2. then you have a hardware problem on the computer and need to get your USB ports replaced -

ITunes not recognising iPod shuffle
Dear All
Just recently got an iPod Shuffle and when I plugged it in itunes does not recognise it. What should I be doing to change this?
Thank you
veedeekayHi Polydorus,
Thanks for the reply. Really sorry - didn't log the problem, but it was fairly generic, just said that something along lines that my 'Norton install was missing some files' (doh! realise now it'd have been useful to note them - but this was about my 3rd hour of working through my problems! Sorry).
If you know of any way I can get a "history" of updates from Norton let me know - I can publish the file. I am using Norton Version 10.0.3.3
Sorry to not be of more help!

Please help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer? The manual doesn't clarify how to do this. Thanks.
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Question: I cannot start my iPhone 4. It just "died". I connected it ti my Mac, but tha Mac doesn´t recognise it. Any ideas how to wake the phone.The battery is fine, I just cannot get it working!
See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again. -
I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch. When I connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I make this older iPod show up on my iTunes?
Hi ChristianHelpplz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
Check your USB connections
Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different USB cable.
Restart your device
Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
Restart your Mac
Turn your Mac off and back on.
Update your software
Check for software updates on your Mac.
Check for an iTunes update.
Check your security software
If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
From:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

My ipod shuffles even when i dont want it to how do i correct this
my ipod shuffles even when i dont want it to, how do i correct this problem
You most likely just have Shake to shuffle turned on.
Shake can be disabled in two ways to prevent accidental activation of the feature:
Setting the hold switch on the top of the iPod nano to on.
Turn off the Shake feature by choosing Settings > Playback on iPod nano (4th and 5th generation). For iPod nano (6th generation), from the Home screen, tap Settings > Music and then tap the On/Off switch next to "Shake to Shuffle". -
I have a 1st & 4th gen Ipod shuffle. When I copy a playlist to the older shuffle it plays back in order. When I copy a playlist to the 4th gen shuffle it plays by alphabetically by artist. I used the copy by play order but with no change. Any suggestions?
This is crazy. What are those guys thinking. I would love to have my 2nd generation ipod shuffle back - it was so easy to use, so easy to operate, alas it was lost/stolen! There are 2 big disasterous (disaster to ease of use) changes in the ipod 4th generation. This particularly relates to podcasts. One is they only play in order by source/type of podcast. You cannot break out of that unless, you have someone to show you how to use the voice over which is not covered anywhere on the very thin manual or elsewhere. Secondly and just as bad but related also, you cannot line them up on your shuffle by date, preference, anything. ONLY apple will do this for you. I hate the thing and will return it today after visiting Apple 3 days in a row to try and get answers, trying to apply the answers and realizing beside the fact that some of the answers given were wrong, they were not going to lead to ease of use. Who said this was better? I was struggling with this (not knowing how to break out of one type of podcast) until i went to Apple and talked to about 4 people who knew less than i did about the shuffle. OUr family has just bought 2 new macbook pros for my son and wife. I have had my macbook for 4 years and love it. I had my ipod shuffle (2 gen) for the same time and loved it but now I don't trust Apple. Are they going to make changes just to make changes. Get some consumer advice, please not just from nerds who want more buttons but from everyday people.

My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook. I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod. What am I doing wrong?
Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes? Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

Just bought new iPod touch. When I connect to computer to sync it tells me "iTunes could not connect to this iPod touch. Could not send a message to device." Not sure if it is b/c of an older version of iTunes but connecting via wifi sync unacceptable
What version of iTunes is on the computer? You need at least 11.4.
