My shuffle does not come on or charge and is not reconized in my itunes devices

I pod Shuffle does not come or charge and is not reconized in my Itunes devices

It's possible there is a problem with the shuffle, but a few more questions and suggestions to rule out other possibilities...
Are you using the original cable that came with the shuffle?  Some third-party replacements look similar, but if it is made for the 2nd gen shuffle, it will not work because the connector is different.
Are you using a direct USB port on the computer, and not a USB hub?  A USB hub that is self-powered (has its own power supply) should work, but try a direct USB port on computer.
If you have not since this problem occurred, shut down (power off) your computer.  If there are other USB devices connected, as a test, you may want to disconnect them, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  Do this to Reset the shuffle

Turn on computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port.
If that does not help, did this shuffle work previously on this computer, and does not work now for some reason? Or is this a new shuffle that was not previously connected to this computer?  (If it is less than one year since purchase date, it is under warranty.)

  • TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

    1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer).  Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times).  It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC.  Are there other steps I can try? 

    I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle

    Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
    Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
    This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

  • My iphone 4S shows up on my computer but does not show up in itunes devices. I have all security

    I just got an iPhone 4S and am unable to get it to show up as a device in iTunes.
    I previously backed up my old iPhone on my Windows 7 PC. When I connect my 4S to the PC it is recognized by the PC but does not show up as a device in iTunes.
    I have turned off all virus protection software & have tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple software. I reinstalled all Apple software with no results in my 4S showing up as a device in iTunes.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • TS3682 my iPad does not appear in the iTune device and it shows the "connect to iTunes" all the time.

    during the update of my iPad some error report came and after that it is not working. i have tried pressing the off key and home key at the same time. i also reinstalled the iTunes bt it is not showing any results.
    please let me know what to do?

    If you are seeing the "connect to iTunes" message - You probably need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode. Here are the instructions.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • HT1918 I have Unknown Itunes charges on my credit card.  I need help to identify the purchases. It does not show in my Itunes purchase history but only one my credit card statement.

    I have some unknown Itunes charges on my credit card that I have been busting my brains on getting an answer.  I HATE not getting to talk to a real person!!!!  Same amount Charges show three consecutive days but does NOT show on my itunes purchase history. Suggestions greatly appreciated. A hammer to smash the computer would help too.

    If they don't show on your purchase history on your account then have you have you added or changed your credit card details on your account - when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If not then you could contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can see what they are for : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Shuffle does not read end of podcast

    Hi,
    My shuffle does not read the end of the podcasts, it always ends to read a few seconds before the end.
    Whereas in itunes, I can hear the entire podcast with the end.
    Any idea to solve my problem ?

    whether or not the genre has been "rebranded" to music
    FYI - The way to "rebrand" an item to reclassify it as a different type of iTunes media is NOT with the Genre setting.  Instead, select the item in iTunes and do a Get Info.  In the Info window, go to the Options tab.  Change Media Kind to Music, Podcast, Audiobook, etc.  Changing the Genre setting does nothing to change how iTunes categorizes the item.
    I loaded a couple Music playlists to see what would happen.
    Playlists are playlists...   There in no distinction between a "Music" playlist and a "Podcast" playlist.  It's up to you do load them as desired.
    If I actually wanted those music playlists to function as such, though, I'd be out of luck.
    I don't understand.  Just load a playlist that only has podcasts on it (your "Podcast playlist"), AND one or more other playlists that only have music.  Then VoiceOver will read then off separately, and you can choose the one you want to hear.  If you take a look at the artcle I linked previously
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4322
    where is says Changing playlists and To choose an item from the playlist menu, your description basically matches what it says there.  So, glad to hear your shuffle is working as designed... 

  • My shuffle does not show in iTunes? old model.

    my shuffle does not show in iTunes? Tryd everything. What can I do?

    If the "old model" is the 2nd gen shuffle, are you using it with the original USB docking cable that came with it?  It has a mini-dock at the iPoid end.   The docking cable for the 3rd and 4th shuffles do not work with the 2md gen shuffle, because the connector is different.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • Shuffle does not show up on desktop or in iTunes

    Older iPod Shuffle (2nd version) does not appear on desktop or in iTunes. It does play with earbuds attached so I know it is functioning.Have tried all the suggestions to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Are you using the USB cable that came with the shuffle?  The 2nd gen shuffle uses the USB cable with a mini-dock at the shuffle end.  The USB cable for the 3rd and 4th (current) gen shuffle does not work, because the connector is different.
    If you are using the correct USB cable...  The shuffle will not continously appear on the Mac's desktop unless it is set to Enable disk use.  So "does not appear on desktop" may be OK.
    It should appear in iTunes.  The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With the sidebar visible, the shuffle does not appear under DEVICES in the sidebar when connected?
