Shuffle wont charge - help?!?!

I bought a new 2.0 usb/firewire card and have windows 2000 with service pack 4. I installed the current ipod software (1.1) and the latest itunes, yet when i plug my ipod in, it just flashes orange the whole time, and wont charge. ***? any clue as to whats wrong?

I have the same problem, but it just recently started. When I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it does nothing, unless it is turned on, then it flashes a fast blinking green light. It will NOT show up in iTunes either. This shuffle is 4 months old, and just started this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything. The only thing I can't do is restore it, since it keeps prompting me to plug my iPod in, whether or not it is already plugged in.
BTW, I have two shuffles, and both do this, however the other one blinks a fast orange. The iPod mini works just fine.

  • Shuffle wont charge

    my shuffle wont charge. The orange light is solid and won't flash like it used to while charging. Also it only flashes for about 10 seconds and then it says that apple update complete, OK to remove i-pod. What do i do???

    that's what it should do check the status light card in the box it says a solid amber light means it's gharging and a flashing amber light means it's updating i have my shuffle in the USB port to charge and it has a solid amber light and the battery status light has went from flashing orange to yellow so that is to be expected so...don't panic but if you do have any other problems just post it.

    my ipod shuffle wont charge the orange light just
    blinked (front light)
    when plugged in, for hours
    While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn
    green UNLESS whatever is causing the light to blink
    (access by iTunes, used as data storage drive, ...)
    stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
    hardware", it might display a solid orange...

    NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
    the USB port.
    it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
    It may very be. What happens when you press the
    battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
    anything?
    it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
    etc.
    Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
    disconnected?
    first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
    i got a red light
    when i press the back light now
    i get nothing,

  • Ipod Shuffle wont charge up

    i cant seem to charge up my son's ipod shuffle (4th gen). both of my sons have them, they are identical and the 2nd one charges no problem. it has been run down so that the battery is dead (i think) but it wont turn on and no light comes on when i plug it into either usb or mains. (the other one charges up in the same usb port no problem). if anyone has had this problem and has a quick fix i'd be grateful for suggestions. many thanks

    I may not check this thread again, but I wanted to let you know I just bought a computer that has 3.0 usb hubs and they do not charge my ipod shuffle. If I plug it in something that has the common 2.0 usb hubs, it works. You may be trying to charge yours on a 3.0 usb hub. If that isn't what the case is, the common way they don't charge, and you may know this, is if your computer goes into sleep mode or is not on (most computers), it will stop charging. If it isn't charging at all, it could be your usb. If you have a cable box, xbox 360, ps3; try those usb ports. I hope this helps!

  • My IPod Shuffle wont charge or turn on...do I need to get a new one?...

    Hi, I recently got a Ipod Shuffle for christmas. It came in a small box, with headphones and a USB cable. I don't know what generation it is, I guess 3rd or 4th, but honestly, I dont know. But I lost it and found it again about a week later. It was turned off. But it won't turn back on. Does it need to charge or do I need a new one? x

    Hey xXFaith_AwesomestXx,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you’ll definitely want to charge the iPod before troubleshooting this issue. If after charging, it still does not respond, try resetting it:

    please help i only had since last may and it is ios 7 updated PLEASE HELP

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. iOS 7 made the iPod more sensive to marginial cables.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My dell laptop battery wont charge, HELP

    Do anyone know what is wrong. it works when it is plugged but wont charge

    Most likely there is something wrong with the battery.  If the battery is under warranty, Dell should be able to provide a replacement.  If not, it might be time for a new one as batteries typically do not last the life of the laptop.

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont charge or recognize my computer blinking orange 3x

    My ipod shuffle wont charge or cant connect to my computer or detect by iTunes its  just blinking orange 3 times
    I tried connect it to other ports same thing happen I tried any possible way but still the same
    I use my ipod 2 years I guess and its working fine until I experience this someone experience this same problem please help.

    If it's less than one year old, it should still be under warranty.  If you are near an Apple Store, I'd make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about getting it replaced.
    There are two likely possibilities.  The cable used to connect it to USB has gone bad.  Or the connector on the iPod has gone bad.
    Be sure to try these things, if you have not already. Use a different USB port on your computer. 
    Disconnect iPod shuffle and completely shut down (power off) your computer.  Also, use this procedure to reset the shuffle

    Turn on computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect iPod shuffle.
