Shuffle isn't recognized through USB 2.0 card

My 1st Gen Shuffle is perfectly functional when I plug it into one of the USB 1.1 ports on my PB, but unfortunately, when I connect the Shuffle to one of the ports of a USB 2.0 card inserted in my PB, the Shuffle does not appear in iTunes or anywhere else on my system. The status light above the click wheel just blinks.
The card is an Adaptec USB2connect For Notebooks, and I have no problems connecting and using my 4th Gen iPod through its ports. The Shuffle works through the USB 1.1 port, but for speedier transfer times, I'd prefer to use it through one of the USB 2.0 ports on the card.
Does the 1st Gen Shuffle recognize third-party USB 2.0 cards? If so, is this particular card the problem? Any and all ideas about this would be most welcome. Thanks.

What does Apple System Profiler say when the Shuffle is attached to the USB2connect card? Does it show the Shuffle?

  • My ipod shuffle isn't recognized by windows.

    When I connect my shuffle to my computer, it runs "autorun" indefinately. I can't run restore to fix it because the updater doesn't recognize the drive. In MyComputer, the drive shows up, but when I click it, MyComputer freezes and I have to use task manager to shut it down. The shuffle won't play any songs at all. I have reloaded iTunes, iPod, and tried everything on the web page. Any suggestions? Help.

    Can't say why XP doesn't recognize your Shuffle, but have had experience with the flashing amber light. I purchased the wall charger and the flashing stopped and the Shuffle received a full charge.
    Come to think of it I had trouble getting my Win2K machine to recognize the Shuffle. After purchasing the charger there has been no problem having the Shuffle recognized by the computer. This makes me suspect that the problem you're having isn't because of XP, rather it is because your Shuffle isn't sufficiently charged.

  • Mypassport Wireless not recognized through USB on my Mac

    I can connect to my Mypassport Wireless fine, but it's not seen through USB on my Mac.  I've done a manual reset several times.  And the Lock setting is off.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    Btw, it's been working fine on both my two Macs for the past week since I've bought it.  I've also been plugging it into the USB port of the laptop while powered on and Finder recognized it right away.  Now, all of a sudden, neither laptop can see it through USB.  I've tried the manual reset, and then powered it down, plugged it into the USB port, and it automatically wakes up, but Finder doesn't show it.  Please help.  Thanks.

  • Ipod 1st generation shuffle isn't recognized by iTunes

    Plugged my 1st generation iPod shuffle into the USB port and it isn't showing up in iTunes.
    I have read through all the Troubleshooting steps and nothing seems to be working.
    When I go to Eject Hardware though, it shows Eject Ipod, so I know my Dell PC (Windows 8) is seeing the shuffle.
    Odd.
    I'll take any help anyone has!
    Thanks.

    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    When connected, the shuffle should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It does not appear there?
    If it does not, as a test, shut down (power off) your computer.  Disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If your PC is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it is not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle

    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Any difference when the shuffle is the only USB device connected?

  • 4th generation iPod shuffle isn't recognized by iTunes

    I've tried everything suggested, disconnected all USB plug-ins, rebooted the computer, made sure shuffle is fully charged, tried different ports - nada.  My MAC has all software up-to-date.  So frustrating - I'm about ready to throw it out the window (the suffle not the MAC).  Help?

    You could try reformatting the iPod manually outside of iTunes...but also try a different computer...if its not picked up there, then the iPod could be faulty or you may need a different wire...good luck with your plight bud

  • Ipod shuffle isn't recognized by windows or mac

    I have an ipod shuffle and no computer will sees it when i plug it in. I have tried the 5Rs. i tried to restore it but when i open up ipod updater it says it is waiting for the ipod to become ready. I have left it plug in for 5 days so I am pretty sure its not me being impatient. I am really at a loss. I have used ipods since the first generation ipods came out and have always been able to fix my ipod the few times it has gotten confused but this one is really strange.

    Hello David.
    Unfortunatelly I am experiencing the *very same problem*. Tried the 5Rs as well with no luck at all. Also tried on 5 different computers with clean installs, both from the original disk and up-to-date software -> still unsuccessfull.
    When I plug the ipod in any PC the computer reckognizes it ok. I can see it as a disk drive but just can't format or access it. The battery is fine, fully charged and leds are operating normally. Can't play anything though cuz I have deleted all the songs in it last time I accessed it.
    I have it for a year and 12 days (yeah, warranty JUST expired) so I won't be able to get ir replaced.
    Any hopes?
    Did you sort your problem out?
    Thanks for ANY HELP.
    BTW I managed to try the same computers with another iPodShuffle (from my girlfriend) and the ipod would be mounted just fine. Does this mean my Shuffle has gone potatoes? :-/

  • My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this. I updated both windows and iTunes.

  • IPad no longer recognizing CF card through USB port

    I'm a photographer, Using a USB cable to a CF card reader, I can import and view my images via the iPad. This not only is easily done, Lexar's president has a video on Youtube demonstrating this.
    I've used this feature regularly for several events.
    However just recently the iPad has simply stopped recognizing the USB reader and said that there isn't enough power to do this.
    So from 7/4-2010 through Friday,7/23 I was able to import images via this daisylink chain. Then on Saturday 7/24 I was no longer able to do this.
    The iPad does seem to be losing battery power more quickly than when I first got it, so my assumption is that it is a mechanical thing and the iPad battery is defective.
    Any thoughts? Please remember, this function operated smoothly for a month, and is described regularly in another company's marketing materials, and no changes to the iPad have taken place.

    Have you tried making sure the iPad is fully charged before doing this? I suppose so.

  • Cannot get Shuffle to be recognized by pc. Have went through asst. 5 times. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

    Cannot get Shuffle to be recognized by pc. Have went through asst. 5 times, don't know what to do now!!

    If this is a new shuffle, make sure the plug on the USB cable is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document

    If it is properly connected, does the shuffle's light come ON at all, when you connect it to USB?  If it does, what does it do immediately after connection?

  • Ipod Shuffle won't turn on or charge and isn't recognized by the computer

    My Ipod shuffle won't charge and isn't recognized by the computer , it turned orange than stopped and won't charge or turn on since. Does anybody has a solution please ?

    I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

  • Upgrade to 10.4.7, now USB flash drive isn't recognized

    I upgraded to 10.4.7 the other night, but the installation was interrupted. Apple Support got the machine up and running by doing a safe boot and removing some corrupted start up files.
    Problem is that my USB memory key isn't recognized. It works fine in my iBook, but not in the iMac.
    It appears in the System Profiler as a "Flash Disk", but does not appear in the Disk Utility.
    iMac Intel 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Upgraded to 10.4.7

    I have an expanded problem now -- I still can't get the system to recognize the flash drives, and it won't recognize my digital camera, either. Oddly, it starts iPhoto, but it doesn't see the camera.
    I've tried all the erasing tips with the flash drives, but they didn't work.
    There is nothing in either System Profiler or Disk Utility identifying the camera.
    Otherwise, the system runs great. And the keyboard and mouse work fine.
    Any ideas?
