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?

  • 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.

    Hold down the mouse button while restarting. This should eject any disc in the drive.

  • 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.

    I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes.  How do I delete it from my Iphone 5?

    If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it.  As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

  • HT204053 2nd SD Card does not show up on desktop with out Restarting computer.

    I have iMac. I use 2 sets (A1-A2 and B1-B2) of dual SD cards for 2 videography cameras. A1 and A2 are identical. B1 and B2 are identical. Initally all SD cards showed up on desktop. They erased in Disk Utility when I'd downloaded the data. Then suddenly w/ no changes to computer or software, only 1 card would show up when I inserted it into the SD slot. If I insert 2nd card, nothing showed up on desktop, in finder or in disk utility. BUT, if I did a Restart, with the 2nd card in the slot, when the computer came back on, behold, there it was. I downloaded the contents, erased it in disk utility. I need to erase 4 32 Gb SD cards and erase them. I'm currently rebooting 3 times to accomplish this. It's a HUGE HUGE time sink to do this every time I want to download from cards. What's going on with the rebook solution? and how can I get back to better functioning? Solutions please. Thank you.

  • My ext HD Icon from a portioned drive does not show up on Desktop

    I have an external hard drive with two partitions that both showed up on the the desktop. For some reason, one of the partitions stopped showing up on the desktop but does show up when viewed from finder, disk utility, etc.
    I ran permissions, relaunched, etc. One of the partitions still does not show up- very frustrating. I looked at info, preferences, etc. and can't figure it out.
    I plugged the hard drive into another computer and both show up there...
    So any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello markshepherd1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    According to the following article, when you're going through the process of burning a playlist to a disc, you have the option to select "Include CD Text".
    If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:
    Change the recording speed:
    Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
    When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
    Change the amount of silence between songs:
    Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
    Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
    Select Use Sound Check.
    Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
    Select Include CD Text.

  • Iphone device not showing up on desktop or in itunes

    I connected to my Macbook Pro with the USB connector that came with my new iphone a few weeks ago. This morning when I tried to connect and download music, my device icon does not appear on my desktop or in the itunes left nav bar. Anyone else have this issue?

    Your iPhone should never appear on your desktop - the iPhone does not support disk use, so it cannot be mounted like an external disk or an iPod with disk use enabled.
    However, it should show up in the devices list in iTunes.
    First, do you have another dock cable to try? Any USB dock cable from a recent iPod will work. If that doesn't help, try re-installing iTunes (just download it from here and run the install, no need to uninstall anything). If that doesn't correct the issue, you may need to remove and reinstall AMDS:

  • My Touch will not show on my desktop or in itunes when connected!

    I installed leopard onto my macbook a few weeks ago and updated my itunes about a week ago. Tonight was the first time I plugged my ipod into my computer. Nothing has happened. I've tried using different USB cords and I've restarted both my computer and ipod touch. I've been trying to do some research on how to fix my problem and all I am finding are people with the same problem but there aren't any answers. I saw one person say to force it in idisk. I don't have idisk. Does anyone know of anything that could help me get my touch on my desktop and computer? Please please help.

    The iPod Touch does not show up as a Device in the Finder. Only as a Device in iTunes.
    Does your version of iTunes support the iPod Touch? Is your Quicktime up to date?

  • My Number Does Not Show Up On Phone Or In iTunes

    This actually occurs on what is now my wife's iphone. It had been mine until I got the 3g one. We got a new sim from AT&T and activated it through itunes for my wife. Everything works, there are no special issues other than what everyone else has seen with the 2.0 software. Her number shows up on caller id on other phones all texts and emails and calls go through with no issue. However her number does not show up anywhere on her phone, not in settings on the phone screen, not on the contacts list and not on itunes either. I remember last year there were some posts regarding this issue but when I was using this phone my number showed up where it was supposed to be so I didn't pay attention to any possible resolutions. I've found a couple of posts that refer to a possible solution involving the sim card. However we went to an AT&T store and two of the guys there who both have iphones said that the sim wouldn't have anything to do with this.
    I'm assuming that something didn't transfer over when we did the activation for her but have no idea how to rectify this. I did try a restore from backup but that didn't do anything. On my phone my number shows up in the right places. Even though this isn't a critical or major issue it does annoy me ( more me than my wife! ). Does anyone have any suggestions?
    John

    Wanted to post an update for anyone else with this issue. I was advised by someone else to call AT&T customer support and have them resend activation/provisioning to the phone. He said he had the issue and this worked for him. So I called and when I finally got someone I was told that there was nothing they could "resend" to the phone but she got in touch with an Apple iphone support person and after explaining the issue to her she connected me to the Apple rep. I explained everything again to her and she said there were two options - the "restore as new phone" which she did not recommend because of the hassle and length of time involved, or have the activation resent to the phone by AT&T. I told her that I had been told there was nothing to be resent. She told me that was incorrect and then she got back in touch with AT&T support then got back to me and said I would see a text message to power off the phone. When I saw that I was to power off and wait 5 minutes and then power the phone back on. At the time I was actually using the phone that had the issue so she called me back on my phone and after 5 minutes I powered the other phone back up and the number now shows up everywhere it's supposed to. Simple, no muss, no fuss and no restore!!
    I thanked her profusely and we both wondered why the first AT&T service person I spoke to did not know that this could be done or did not want to. But she told me the AT&T guys are a little scared of the Apple guys and that they can get things done that we might not be able to. Anyway it is a simple process if you can get them to do it the first time, maybe it's best to go through the Apple people first. The Apple service rep was wonderful and I'm happy!

  • My ipod shuffle does not show up on my computer

    My computer does not recognize my ipod shuffle 4th generation

    Hello dcollins1960,
    From what you are describing the iPod will not show up in iTunes when you connect it. I found an article that may help you with the iPod issue you described.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communties.

    Sterling

  • IPod syncs with iTunes, does not show up on desktop

    I have an iPod with the click wheel and when I plug my iPod in to my iMac it syncs and shows up in iTunes but not on the desktop. I've done the 5 R's, but that didn't work. The music transfers fine, but I was going to use my iPod to transfer files, but it is not on the desktop. Any ideas?

    Hi ranko65!
    I think it's possible that your iPod is not appearing on the desktop/in the Finder because you are automatically syncing your iPod with iTunes, but Disk Use is not enabled.
    See this aricle for details:
