My shuffle is not being recognized.

My shuffle is not being recognized on my computer.  Have tried all USB ports and cables.  Still nothing.  What can I do to remedy this?  Just purchased several new songs and want to sync to shuffle.

Are you sure the connections on each end are nice and snug?

  • 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?

  • My iPod Shuffle is not being recognized.

    Please help!
    I recieved my iPod in September 2005. It has been working perfectly fine until this month. I've been trying to add more songs to my iPod. I connected my shuffle to the USB port, and all I am recieving is my iPod blinking orange. I have tried all of the three R's, yet it hasn't affected my results in any way. When trying to download the new iTunes, it would stop downloading or just disappear. If anyone has anything that could help me, please reply!

  • My ipod shuffle is not being recognized by Itunes.

    I tried all the steps in the Apple troubleshooting guide, no luck.  I'm operating a PC, the current version if ITunes and a Version 4 Shuffle.  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Thanks! 

    If you see it in Windows as the F drive, that is good.  So, I wonder why you are not able to follow the procedure to re-assign the drive letter.  If Windows sees the iPod's disk, it should appear in Disk Management. 
    Try shutting down the computer, and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub.  Start up the computer with only standard keyboard and mouse connected, if normally used.  Do this to Reset the shuffle

    Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer (the one you use with your iPod touch).

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd Generation) is not being recognized by my MacBook Pro or itunes:

    I was recently given my friends old ipod shuffle, but it is not being recognized by my computer at all, is there something that I can do?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.
    Have you worked through all the sugguestions here as necessary?

  • IPod Shuffle not being recognized by my PC

    Hi, I just bought 2 Apple iPod Shuffles from eBay. I have a slight problem. When I plug them into my USB port, iTunes does not recognize them. They show up in My Computer though. When I try to re-install/reset the factory settings it says "Plug in a device" or something like that. My guess is that I bought them from a Mac user.
    My question is: How might I go about converting it from Mac to Windows?
    :: I am not sure this is the problem though, this is just a guess ::
    -Thanks

    I have a similar problem, my iPod Shuffle is being read in my Windows 2000 but in the iTunes it's not being recognized.
    When I try to play the iPod, the green and orange lights blink simultaneously.
    When I try and double-click on the icon for it in My Computer, it's saying that it can't be accessed because of an I/O device error.
    Finally, I come to the site and get the latest update and when I try to update, it's saying that there's an iPod service error.
    Hope that generalizes everything of what I'm saying and similar to Niko's problem as well.

  • Ipad not being recognized on my Mac laptop

    My Ipad Mini, (just purchased today) is not being recognized on my Mac computer under Devices in the Finder.  We also bought a IPod Shuffle and it is recognized.  I followed another person's advice from this forum and reloaded the Ipad, but it is still not recognized.  I want to move some Epub books to my Ipad, but cannot do this since it's not recognized.  I downloaded the Bluefire Reader as was suggested in the forum, but, again, the Ipad is not recognized on my laptop in order to move the books.

    It won't appear in Finder, it's not designed to mount as a drive, content is synced via your Mac's iTunes. If it's not being recognised in your Mac's iTunes then there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    You should be able to copy books to that app by connecting the iPad to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then option-command-S should get the sidebar to appear), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen selecting the Apps tab and scrolling down it to the file sharing section : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    If you've already directly downloaded some apps or other content onto the iPad then you may also find this page useful for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

    i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

    I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
    Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

  • IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

    Hello,
    After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
    What should I do now?

    Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
    What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
