Shuffle will not work

When shuffle is selected it keeps playing the same song. It will not shuffle. I have tried one artist, one alblum, the whole thing. Nothing works but one song at a time over and over again. HELP!!

when playing a song in the iPod app, tap on the screen to bring up the playback controls. do you have the 'repeat' function on?

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.

In my library shuffle will not work has anyone heard of this problem?

I am using a toshiba laptop and the shuffle function in my Itunes library does not work. It's the weirdest thing I have other computers and do not have this problem. I have clicked the button and still nothing. This has been a problem for as long as I can remember. I have downloaded all the necessary updates and still it just doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem or knows a way to correct this problem. Thanks in advance.

hiya!
just checking. have all the wee check boxes to the left of your music tracks in your main itunes library window been unchecked? that can produce similar symptoms.
to check (or uncheck) all the songs in your library, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes. (a "global" check or uncheck may take a wee while.)

0 for 2.. New Shuffle will not work

After buying a new shuffle yesterday, I got home, launched iTunes and used the check for updates and updated to the new 7.0.2 version. I then connected the new shuffle and nothing happened. I shutdown McAfee, rebooted the machine, restored the shuffle, numerous time and nothing happened. I am running Windows XP and none of my USB ports are the issue. I have a 3G 40GB that works on all of the ports. I have also made sure that neither the docking station, nor my other iPod were connected.
The shuffle appeared to be charging (blinking orange light), however neither iTunes, nor Windows recognized the device. I did notice that every few minutes, my computer would make that initial noise that is typically made when I plug my other iPod in, but nothing ever happened. I returned the unit to Best Buy and exchanged it for another one and I am having the same problems.
I have seen too many problems with other Windows users to think it is something with my machine. I have already spent nearly 5 hours between the two iPods trying to get it to work and if I cannot get help here, I am going to return the unit for a refund.

I reset the iPod, not restore. Sorry. I followed the Reset, Retry, Restart and Reinstall steps a few times but I cannot do restore because iTunes is not recognizing the iPod.
I also followed the steps for altering MSCONFIG and my machine still does not recognize the iPod. If I disconnect the new shuffle and plug my 3G iPod in, iTunes has no problems recognizing it.
I am using the USB ports on the motherboard (back of the machine). I also have two more USB ports (2.0) on the front and a 6 in 1 media reader that has two USB ports, secure digital and flash reader. My old iPod works in all of those ports, however I typically use it on one of the ports on the back. I am attempting to use my Shuffle on the same port that my old iPod uses (I simply disconnected my old iPod).

Shuffle will not work in itunes when multiple albums added to "up next"

When I add 1st album to play, shuffle option is available. Shuffle disappears when subsequent albums are added

I have the same problem. I do not know for sure if this is what caused it but it kept reminding me to upgrade itunes so i did. Now my shuffle doesn't show up on my computer or in itunes, and there are NO songs on it. I had to restore my ipod but it said there was an error and it never finished and now it doesn't show up in itunes or windows.I plugged this into another computer but it doesn't load on that computer either. a green light comes on and blinks slowly. I have no idea whats wrong.

Ipod shuffle will turn on. then it turns back off and will not work. it charges but will not play any music?

My ipod shuffle will not work. it turns on briefly then turns off and i cannot hear anything. my earbuds work, it holds a charge, but no sound?

I would start by working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

Shuffle will not connect to iTunes

I am running Windows Vista with the latest release of iTunes. My daughter just got an Shuffle for the holidays. I was able to connect the shuffle once to my PC but now I can not connect it to I am running Windows Vista. I was able to connect it once to the PC and register it, but now it will not reconnect to iTunes. The PC sees the shuffle connect and recognizes it as an iPod in the device manager. iTunes,however, just hangs and will not work at all. After a few minutes I pull the shuffle out of the dock and iTunes operates again, but I get a warning telling me to reset the Shuffle to the factory default settings using the tools in the iTunes Summary. BUT iTunes will not recognize the shuffle so I can not do this!! Argh! Anyone have any ideas?

I hope the solution is as "simple" as mine. After spending hours trying to get itunes to recognize my Ipod and talking to support, I discovered that I did not have the ipod locked into the Dock.

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle Feature Not Working...

I have a new Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen and I have a many playlists which appear to be working except for one. I have one playlist called "jogging" which the Ipod voiceover speaks when pressing the button. However, when I select it, the track will not play. This particular song/track is 1 hour and 3 mins and is a collage of songs. Is there some reason the shuffle will not play it? It's an M4A file and Itunes says it's synched with the shuffle. When you select that playlist, it starts playing a song in a different playlist like it doesn't exist.

ps. Other playlist selections give one beep. When I select the playlist with the 1 hour file, I get two beeps.

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 Will Not Load, Update or Restore.

Shuffle Will Not Load, Update or Restore on my PC. I get error messages or it freezes when ever I try. I have tried re-installing i-Tunes, I have tried re-installing an earlier version of i-Tunes, I even tried updating my USB driver. The error messages I get are 1451, and -50. We have two shuffles and both of them are getting the same errors. Please Help!!
PC Windows XP

Here is your fix, this is a post from Albertech842 in another forum. It worked for me in Windows. I'm going to post it as a new topic, because SO many people have this problem and I spent HOURS trying to fix this:
Alright, this is what I did, my only fix. Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then go to "start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click stop service." Then connect the ipod and it should show up in my computer. Format it so all content is gone. Next, go back to "start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click Start service." This should have the service running again. Open iTunes and connect the shuffle. When it says to automatically fill it (the window that pops up) dont unclick it, proceed so the shuffle autofills. Before it stops, quickly go to the settings tab. Then, scroll down to where it says "enable disk use". select that and hit apply. Now, you manually eject the iPod and you can manage your music! I had the same problem as you and this eliminated the problem! Hope this helped.

My Shuffle will not play any songs

my shuffle will not play any songs. when i turn it on the green light stays on for about ten secs and nothing happens. it is the same way when i switch it to the last swtich thing. i have reset it and restored it and updated it and nothing seems to work. it was working fine 2 days ago and it started yesterday to give me problems. any suggestions would be greatly appreacated.

Just try charging it properly, make sure you're inserting it into a proper high-power usb port (and not necessarily a high speed usb 2.0 ) and you can make sure its charging if the light turns amber (orange). You should leave it to charge for 4 hours the first time (from 3 to 6:16 isn't enough), until the light finally turns green, or until u get really bored!

My Shuffle will not stay on

My shuffle will not stay turned on. When I turn it on the green light comes on for about 4 seconds or so than goes out. The unit seems to work fine when docked. Any suggestions?

I thought I was having the same problem. When first connected to the computer the light blinks orange. When opening itunes it stops blinking and appears to be charging. Everything syncs fine. Diagnostics says all is well. The light never goes green. As soon as I undock it the light goes out as if it is not charged. This was very frustrating and I read some posts about it. However, after actually trying the unit...by connecting earphones/plugs to the jack and switching the unit on...it plays...it plays just fine. The power light never stays on...even when playing. I dont think it is supposed to work this way...but it does
