Windows Doesn't See Shuffle -- No Lights, No Life?..

I got a Shuffle last November through Audible.com. Seemed like a good deal -- but it only worked for a couple of months. Now it has no lights and Windows doesn't recognize it when I plug it in a USB port (the PC's fine coz it recognizes my daughter's Nano).
Any idea what's going on and what I can do?
Thank you.

same thing happened to me, contact the shop or organisation who sold you the ipod and tell them your problem and ask for a replacement, if they tell you to talk to apple or turn you down contact apple support and tell them your problem, tell them the problem and they will ask for you to send it to them for inspection and if they deem that its a manufacturing fault they will ship you a new one, unfortunatly i was 2 months too late to do this so i have basically just kept it as a cool little model and bought the ipod video-rather the shuffle but whatever, good luck!

  • Windows doesn't see my iPod

    I had my ipod connected and it worked just fine, I had to force my computer to turn off, hold down the power button, and now my computer doesn't see my iPod. I tried the data mode and the resetting and the restarting the computer. I can't restore the ipod, because I can't get the computer to see it. The ipod alone works wonderfully and it is charging. So it sees that it is connected to the computer, but the computer doesn't see it. Any ideas?

    I cannot download my new music because my ipod is not recognized. My usb port is working, I downloaded the new ipod version for nano and it is still not working. It does recharge when plugged in so why wont it recognize my ipod when plugged in ? Any help most appreciated.

  • Skype for Windows doesn't see my Samsung WEP200 bl...

    I paired a Samsung WEP200 bluetooth headset with the USB bluetooth adapter on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop running Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit. When I select "Show Bluetooth Devices" from the Bluetooth dropdown menu, I see "Audio devices/WEP200/Passkey enabled" but Skype ver. 5.5.59.124 doesn't see the bluetooth headset at all, neither the "speaker" nor the "mic". Do I have any hope of getting it to work? TIA.

    Out of curiosity, do you have any "mirror" driver installed - i.e., something like PC Anywhere or RAdmin or other package designed to allow someone else to control your user interface?  These are known to get in the way sometimes.
    There is a registry tweak to force Photoshop to use the OpenGL features of your video driver.  It's for diagnostic use only, but it could serve as a workaround until you can get to the bottom of the driver problem (perhaps it will be solved in an upcoming release of the ATI drivers).
    Some of the information in this thread might help you:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954477
    Note that the registry tweak is good for diagnostic purposes, and enabling GPU acceleration where Photoshop does not believe the driver can support it can lead to instability and crashes, with loss of data.  It will be interesting to know whether the ATI mobility drivers can support proper OpenGL operation on your system.

  • Finder window doesn't see new music in iTunes

    Now when I add new albums to iTunes, the Finder window simply does not see them; they do not appear in any of the lists under 'Music', 'iTunes' etc; they are invisible. Which is really annoying because it means I have no way of copying the music onto my tablet or my phone, as I  can only copy things to my other devices using Android File Transfer.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why the Finder is no longer able to see music added to iTunes?
    <Edited by Host>

    Where they end up will depend on your settings under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced.
    You can select any track in iTunes, option-click on it and then click Show in Finder to see where it is.

  • Windows doesn't see my iPod, nor does iTunes

    The iPod 3d is just dead, and it doesn't appear on My Computer or on iTunes, and it won't even turn on. I have had it charged for a long time, both on the computer and at an electric outlet. I get an error message on iTunes that says it detects an iPod, but can't recognize it. I have downloaded the updated iTunes, done everything I can find online to get it reset or anything. I've only had it since May, so this is very frustrating. Thanks.

    I cannot download my new music because my ipod is not recognized. My usb port is working, I downloaded the new ipod version for nano and it is still not working. It does recharge when plugged in so why wont it recognize my ipod when plugged in ? Any help most appreciated.

  • HT201250 My current tax program doesn't see last years after I installed new drive

    The year before software is on time machine but I had to install a new hard drive and the existing program doesn't see it,high light when searching, how do I get or import my taxes from previous years.

    A little more info would help.
    "The year before software is on Time Machine."
    Do you mean last year's TurboTax app is in a TM backup?
    When you installed the new hard drive did you restore the previous drive's contents from the TM backup? Including applications?
    "How do I get or import my taxes from previous years."
    What is it specifically you need to import?
    If you restored completely to the new drive from Time Machine, everything should be there.
    I am still confused on your specific problem.

  • Shuffle On Desktop/Updater doesn't see iPod

    My iPod Shuffle shows up on the desktop. The amber recharge light is blinking. When iTunes opens, I get the following message: "iTunes has detected a software update for the iPod. Would you like to install it now?" When I click "Okay", the updater opens and I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred". When I click "okay", the updater now tells me to plug in an iPod to update it. My iPod is plugged in and charging, and is on the desktop. When I quit the updater, my iPod does not appear in the iTunes source list.
    I then quit and reopened iTunes. This time when prompted regarding the software update, I click cancel. iTunes now opens with my iPod listed in the Source list. However, when I go to add songs to the iPod I get the following message: "Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest iPod software update."
    I've reinstalled the updater 3 times now. I got the same results as described above each time. The updater doesn't see the iPod. What is the "unexpected error"? Why doesn't the Updater see the iPod?
    Thanks for any help.

    I just downloaded the latest updater version, plugged in my iPod Shuffle, and sat in wide eyed amazement as it actually recognized that the iPod was, in fact, plugged into the computer!!!
    I held my breath while the updater did it's thing... could this actually be it? Could I finally join the army of gleeful millions, listening to my favorite tunes and newscasts while jogging? Would the wonderful little gift I got for Christmas finally - gulp! - work?
    Alas, no. Just as the updater was finishing up I got the following glass if ice water in my face:
    "An error occurred updating or restoring iPod. Disconnect iPod, reconnect and then try restoring again. If that does not work, go to http://www.apple.com/support/ipod"
    I did that, and noticed that "restoring" was not an option, as the "restore" button wasn't active. Ah well... my iPod shuffle goes back into it's neat little packaging, and back onto the shelf while I await the next round of potential solutions to slowly work their way down to the Discussions Sub-basement.
    I swear to God, I will not give up on this. I know it can work. Someday, someday...
    Gee

    Also also - I ordered, received, and installed an Iogear 4 port USB 2.0 pci card, hoping against hope that that would solve the issue. It didn't. I've been working on this since the day after Christmas. The problem seems so uniquely simple, and yet I've never been more frustrated with an Apple product.
    Why won't the updater recognize my iPod and allow me to install the software? I personally believe that there is some communications glitch between iTunes 6.0.1, OS 10.3.9, and iPod updater. Any word on new versions coming out of the Apple bat cave?
    Thanks for any help.

  • I have a big problem! My ipod touch is stuck! it won't open, all I see when I open it is the itunes icon with a USB cable and an arrow! What can I do? I've tried connectingit with itunes, but itunes doesn't see it. plus i have windows 8

    Can't connect my ipod toch to itunes!!! It doesn't see it! I use windows 8, don't know if that's the problem. Anyways, my ipod is stuck! Every time I open it, it stays stuck with the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing towards an itunes icon. but whatever I do, my computer doesn't see it, and neither does itunes. What to do???!!!

    The the remaining items of the following, you may have to let the battery fully drain.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 doesn't see my iPhone 3G 4.0 on Windows 7 x64

    Hi everyone. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have been having this problem since I updated my iTunes to 9.2. The problem is I plug my phone in, and iTunes doesn't see it. After plugging it in, iTunes seems to struggle a bit, lags, before finally running smoothly again. The phone doesn't appear in iTunes, though my computer detects it and I can browse the photos like I always could. Any help is appreciated!

    yup same here
    its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
    only way round this i found is to do this:
    reboot windows
    and reboot iphone
    eventually they will see each other.
    what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
    but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

  • ITunes doesn't "see" my iPod Touch but Windows 7 does. What can I do?

    Windows 7 using "MTP USB Device" driver so it recognizes that it's an Apple iPod but iTunes doesn't see it. I have spent the entire day following the "install/ininstall/start AMDS/stop AMDS" instructions ad nauseum...still no love. Frustration maxed out!

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Did you do this:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router.  My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

    My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue.  My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related.  I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy.  I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy.  Reboot = no joy.  Glass of scotch = no joy.  Need help!!

    Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs.  And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

  • Trying to charge my shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it.

    I was trying to charge my son's shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it both of them. I even tryed to charg them in the pluge in. But that does not work eather.

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.
