Shuffle not persistent in iTunes 7

So in iTunes 6, I could have my shuffle remain in the list even when ejected. This was really nice, as I could update my list so the next time I plugged in the shuffle all the settings were ready to go.
Now, in iTunes 7, when I go to eject the shuffle, it is also removed from the devices list. Did this go away for a reason? or is there some hidden way of reenabling the persistent shuffle in the devices list.

found a solution for myself that works....

How does that keep the shuffle playlist in iTunes once you've disconnected???

    my 2nd generation shuffle not appearing in itunes.  What can I do?

    If you have not done so already, first try using a different USB port that is directly on the computer (not a hub). 
    If that does not help, I would shut down (completely power off) your computer.  Disconnect the shuffle and do this reset procedure

    Start up your computer.  Run iTunes.  Try connecting the shuffle again.

  • Ipod shuffle not recognized by iTunes on mac

    When i plug in my 4th Gen iPod Shuffle this is the error message I receive:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
    If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I reloaded iTunes but the problem persists. It works fine on my other Mac using the same cable. I get the Status Light on the Shuffle so the connection and cable are fine.

    Apple will not deny the downgrade to OS X 10.10.1 in the App Store. Just make sure your Settings>App Store>Automatically check for updates>Install OS X updates box is unchecked. I did not uncheck mine and last night my MacBook Air was upgraded to 10.10.2 (14C81F), the corrupted update, automatically! I had to downgrade again this morning and Apple again allowed me to downgrade.

  • Ipod shuffle not recognized in iTunes

    When I connect my iPod shuffle to my computer, it is recognized as a device (I can safely remove it under "safely remove hardware") yet it is not recognized as a drive. Also, it is not recognized by iTunes and therefore does not appear on the source list.
    I am not having any of these problems with my iPod nano which I have tested after having the problems with the shuffle - I have the most current version of iTunes loaded and I am connecting the ipod through a high-speed USB port.
    I am unable to restore the ipod software because it does not appear in my iTunes. Currently all of the songs I had on the shuffle the last time I was able to successfully connect it are still there so the shuffle isn't broken completely.
    I have read through all of the applicable troubleshooting documents and none seem to specifically apply to my situation (i.e. it is being recognized by the computer as being connected but not as a storage device, etc...)
    What should I do? Please help!
    Thank you!
    IBM   Windows XP  

    Not sure exactly what you mean but here's a shot.
    - Connect shuffle to computer, "safely remove hardware" icon in system tray has it under "USB Mass Storage Device"
    - When I double click on "USB Mass Storage Device" there is an option to stop "Apple iPod USB Device"
    I only know this b/c that's the only way I can disconnect it safely since I can't eject it from iTunes.
    What I meant by it not being recognized as a drive is that when I connect my other ipod, it brings up a window for "drive E" in windows explorer as well as populates the nano in the source list within iTunes. This does not happen with my shuffle.
    Does that make sense?

  • IPod Shuffle Not Recognised by iTunes

    Hi,
    My 4th generation iPod Shuffle is not being recognised by iTunes.  When I plug it into my Macbook Pro, running Mountain Lion, the indicator light on the iPod will be continuous orange.  This will switch off after a couple of minutes.

    Could it be a faulty cable?
    Yes.  If possible, find a new one to test with.
    The continuous blinking orange light indicates that the Shuffle is either in the middle of a sync operation with iTunes or is being read by another system process, but only if Enable Disk Use is enabled from under the Shuffle's Summary tab.
    Is the connection nice and snug on both ends as can be seen from this article?

  • Shuffle not appearing in itunes

    i got a 2nd gen shuffle ive had since february and its only had a couple problems where i had trouble getting songs onto it but for about the past two weeks every time i plug it into the usb it blinks a green light then orange three times, then stops and doesnt show up in itunes or in my computer. my operating system is windows xp, i dont know if that makes a difference but if anyone can help id appreciate it

    i got the same question --
    i wonder why i bought this ipod ???
    - this iTunes software is just not acceptable / does not allow to do the basic things / need to browse forums and hint&tips / these do however not work
    - this iTunes software is only good for buying in Apples store and supporting their business
    - Apple has ruined their reputation, i will not buy any of their highly intuitive and user-friendly products

  • Shuffle not working with iTunes Match when 3G is not enabled and the track playing is not the one showing (previous one)

    When I use Music on m iPhone on 3G with the downlod disabled on 3G, shuffle is not working.
    It stops after each track, as if it was not capable to find the next local track.
    Morevoer, it plays a track and show another one. It seems it plays the previous track but show the following.
    This makes my iPhone not usable with iTunes Match unless I disable show tracks from iCloud.

    Hi Bhushan,
    Isuse is with IIS Process. Whether its running on 32bit or 64bit. that's the one who decide which dll they want. So, in above the resolution is 
     If you are working with 32 bit you can use 
    string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727");
    while the other way for 64 bit IIS Process, you will require 
    string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System), @"..\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727");
    Hope this answer will helps some other developers issue.

  • Version 2 Shuffle not recognised by iTunes

    Greetings to all,
    I hope that someone out there can help me as the Apple Centre, after 89 minutes couldn't help, (that's £9 I can't get back!)
    Anyway, I bought a blue Version 2 Shuffle last month, plugged it in and iTunes burst into life, except that it, and the desktop, showed the shuffle as a white iPod! Weird! Anyway I downloaded a playlist of 95 tracks, only to find that 70 tracks showed on the shuffle....okay very weird....Also a message saying that I was running an old verion of iPod software yadda, yadda, yadda! And I should download the latest version.....easier said than done! The front page of iTune (under "device") showed 4 pages, ie Summary, Music, Podcasts, and Audiobooks???? very very weird.......and to cap it all the software version said N/A, the serial number said N/A, the format said Windows(???) and I had a "greyed out" restore section. Meaning I couldn't get an update/restore even if I wanted to.
    The tracks on the shuffle didn't include any Apple lossless files, even though I have a version 3 30Gb ipod that works fine with everthing on my Mac! Also my wife's 4Gb nano works fine as well. Anyway when I switched my shuffle on, it did that mutiblink thing with the lights indicating firmware problems............****!
    I took it back to the store, it worked fine on their mac, a MacPro. They restored it, it played music, went home, plugged it in....it didn't work, returned it, same thing happened, they wouldn't replace it, said their engineer would make a decision over it, 3 days later...he said it was fine. Rang Apple Centre (89 min call, and 4 specialists later) they replaced it with a new one. Plugged it in, drum roll please....same **** thing! So I did the discussions route, I downloaded Ipod Restore Utility, it said it couldn't work on this iPod, hmmmm, tried Disc Utility, restored it as Mac Extended Journaled ( at least it shows as "Macintosh Format" on iTunes now).
    It still however wouldn't play any music, I am running out of options, oh I also install a Sonneto USB 2.0 PCI card to upgrade my USB 1.1 ports, still no effect.
    I have the current iTunes, 7.1.1
    I am running OS 10.4.9.
    I am getting grey hairs.
    Please help.

    1) This is true. Disk Utility is not helpful in this situation because the shuffle (along with most new mactel stuff) is default FAT32 and NOT mac format. So I tried what you did too and it is not possible to have a mac formatted 2nd ipod shuffle to "trick" it into working like a normal ipod.
    2) This is also true though because you are never seeing the correct settings tab for the shuffle there was really no way for you to know this...
    3) This has been mentioned before but I do not understand it enough to attempt it as a fix or solution to this problem...and to be quite honest it sounds alot like throwing the baby out with the bath water to me. Maybe if Deggie could post more specific information as to what "driver' is damaged this solution would make more sense. After all the drivers necessary for recognition of the device are USB related in the case of the shuffle. So is Deggie saying the USB driver is damaged? In my situation, if this were indeed the case then why is the Finder able to recognize the USB shuffle...along with all my other myriad of USB drives and devices?
    Please understand my hesitation at the suggestion that the problem is the OS, especially when everything else is working absolutely perfectly. It may in the future come down to me rebuilding my laptop just to get iTunes to recognize my 2nd gen ipod shuffle, but I just think that is a undocumented risk. Rebuilding your system is any tech's LAST RESORT and I think it is fine to suggest to someone but especially for legacy mac users using it can introduce more problems than it is worth. (not to mention it might not fix anything at all!)
    just my opinion in trying to solve this issue...

  • IPod Shuffle not recognised by iTunes on Mac or PC

    hi
    i have just received a new ipod shuffle 1GB 2nd Gen and when i first plugged it in to my Mac it wasn't recognised by iTunes, only as a 'Volume' in Finder. I could see that it was formatted as FAT-16 which i had never heard of before, only FAT-32, so i thought i would format it for Apple (MAC OS extended - Journaled), but still it wasn't recognised. I can drag and drop files onto the Shuffle as though it was a hard drive, but nothing else. I have attempted to restore it with the Ipod reset utility, but because it isn't recognised as an ipod i get a message 'Plug in Ipod to reset it' and the 'OK' button is greyed out. I get just the same behaviour when i plug the shuffle into a PC - i.e. it shows in explorer but isn't recognised in iTunes or by the iPod reset utility. the shuffle has been plugged in for a few hours, so should be fully charged. I have tried formatting to FAT-32 as well with no joy, and repairing the disk in disk utility but it says that all is fine.
    i would be grateful for any help to get my shuffle working!
    thanks

    Same problem here, on 10.10.2 with iTunes 12.0.1, my iPod Classic 160 ejects immediately, on my mavericks mac with iTunes 12.0.1, all is well.
    I've tried forcing iTunes not to run, by getting it into 'choose library mode' (holding down option key, whilst starting), and the iPod stays connected, but as soon as an iTunes library is chosen, it ejects.  This leads me to think, it may be a system call that iTunes is using that has changed in 10.10.2, forcing the eject.
    To Xavier, I don't see an issue with my iPhone wifi sync, although as I tried reinstalling iTunes to remedy the iPod situation, I did have to set that up again on the summary page.
    I've also submitted a feedback assistant report, hopefully a fix will be coming...

  • 1st Gen Ipod Shuffle not updating with iTunes 7.0whatever

    My 1st gen. shuffle was doing just fine updating from my iTunes playlist with the older version of iTunes. Then last night I upgraded to 7.0whatever the latest version is and now when I plug in the shuffle to update, I get the usual updating iPod message and then I get the message that it's done...but....nothing has been loaded onto the shuffle.
    If I change the playlist for the shuffle to load from, I don't get any little spinning circles next to the song titles and iTunes will freeze up and I'll have to end the program from Task Manager.
    I've restored the shuffle to it's original factory settings (even using the special restore program), I've uninstalled and restarted and reinstalled iTunes. I've deleted the temp directory, restarted, reinstalled iTunes. No luck.
    The shuffle does work though on an older computer that has an older version of iTunes.
    What's in the new version of iTunes that's not agreeing with Win XP and how do I fix it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Well, I have that problem too. My shuffle holds about 125 songs or so, yet I've noticed there are always a good 20 or so songs that won't play, no matter how many times I load them onto the device. I have had that problem since I inherited it from a friend.
    My new problem is that every time I plug my iPod into iTunes, it no longer updates the playcount for songs. In other words, if I load a song that I've heard 3 times, hear it twice during the day, and replug in my iPod at night, it used to update that song's playcount in the library to 5, but now they still read 3. It's also failing to update the "date last played" field.
    I use those to help make sure that I don't load the same songs over and over again by creating a custom playlist that will comb out songs played in the last few days and have a very high play count. Since these are no longer updating, I've noticed that I keep arriving at work only to find my iPod has the same or similar songs as the day before, and dude, if I wanted that, I'd listen to the radio!

  • 3rd Generation iPod Shuffle Not Recognized by iTunes 11.1.1

    I am trying to have iTunes recognize my iPod Shuffle 3rd generation.  It worked fine until I downloaded iTunes 11.1.1.  I am using OS X version 10.8.5.  Does this latest version of iTunes not work with my shuffle any longer?

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.

  • 2nd gen shuffle not recognized by iTunes or reset utility. Strange blinking

    Shuffle was working fine. My cat chewed the wire on the dock in half. So I ran the battery down and ordered another dock (well, not actually a doc, but a retractable aftermarket USB connector). Finally got the connector. Before using, I tried to turn on ipod. No light whatsoever, not even red. Plugged it in. Would blink red a couple times, then green a couple times, and then the blinking would stop. iTunes didn't recognize it. Neither did the reset utility. So friggin annoying. What should I do now.

    Put it on the dock connector, connect it to your computer, and charge it for at least 30 minutes then see if your computer can see it.
