Q: Computer wont detect iPod
Hello,
I'm having a slight issue in that my iPod is not being detected by my computer. I have tried both USB ports and restarted my computer, neither of those things has worked, iTunes is on the most recent version as is my OS.
The iPod is a 512MB 1st gen shuffle if that helps any.
Thanks,
Cameron

I plug the shuffle in the light is a solid green for a second then goes to flashing amber.
That's good. The flashing light means there's a data connection between Mac and shuffle. If the iPod does not appear in iTunes when connected, there's a special utility for 1st and 2nd gen shuffle, that does the equivalent of a Restore in iTunes (when doing an Restore in iTunes is not possible). This erases the shuffle, reinstalls its software, and sets it to default settings Download and run this utility, and connect your shuffle.
