Shuffle will not charge

My I pod will not charge. I have tried using the computer and the wall plug in. the only light I get is a red one when I turn it on. When I put it onto the charger I get no lights.

If it's less than a year old take it to an Apple Store (only a MAX ride away...) for analysis and possible replacement.
Is the "wall plug in" an Apple USB Power Adapter or some other brand?
Are your PC USB ports "high-power"? Shuffle requires 5v/500mA...

Is your phone itself working OK?

My ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?, my ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?

my ipod shuffle will not charge fully, the light that comes on when i try to charge just flashes red, and the battery lasts for about 20 mins max and then advises battery is low and then dies!

That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged. Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush. Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case. If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod shuffle will not charge when connected to other computers.

A girl I work with had me load her shuffle on my computer. I set it up and synced with my itunes and everything worked well. Then the battery ran out and she tried to connect it to a computer at work and it said that it was already synced with an itunes library. She left it plugged for a few hours anyway and when she unplugged it there was no charge in it. Both computers are iMacs and it was plugged into a usb on the back of the computer. Thanks dudes.

In Settings in iTunes (while shuffle is plugged in) UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached) and click apply... This will allow charging w/o iTunes involvement.

HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON? From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly. It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive. If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price. Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.

My shuffle will not work!! it charges but once of charge it doesn't work, reset it but still no joy?? any ideas??

my shuffle will not work!! it charges but once of charge it doesn't work, reset it but still no joy?? any ideas??

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

TS1363 ipod shuffle is hot and will not charge

Has anyone heard of a battery issue with the 4g shuffle? My shuffle will not respond and is "hot" to the touch. It does not respond, cannot be seen by my computer or itunes. I have had several ipods and never had an issue like this. I have had this shuffle 3 months. I have tried all the recommendations for resetting with no effect.
Thanks for your help

Since the Shuffle is only 3 months old, I would recommend taking the iPod to your local Apple Store's Genius Bar and showing them what is going on. If they deem the problem a manufacturing defect (which they more than likely will) they'll swap it out for you at no cost.

2nd Gen iPod will not charge in Windows 7 machine.

My 2nd Gen ipod will sync to iTunes just fine, but will not charge. Windows 7 shows a problem (yellow triangle) in Devices. I've got the latest Windows Updates, iTunes version, and iPod update. It works fine with our Windows Vista machines, just not my newer Win 7 laptop. What is going on?

Is the iPod being plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 machine? Are there any other USB devices plugged into the Win 7 machine? If so, remove them, reboot the machine and reconnect the Shuffle.

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes

My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector. It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer. I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

Shuffle does not charge or respond

I believe my dad has the 2nd generation shuffle. He's had it for a few years now and recently, it stopped responding. When charging, no light appears on the shuffle, and therefore, the shuffle is no longer charging. We gave my dad the shuffle as a gift a few years ago and it has not been updated since we loaded the songs onto it and gave it to him. I can't imagine that is the issue since it has worked fine since. I also tried connecting the charger's USB port into a different adapter that I use and it still will not charge.
At this point, I'm figuring I will have to take it home with me and take it to the apple store to figure out what's up. Any thoughts on what I can do to restore it?
Thanks!
