2nd generation shuffle won't charge or turn on

Be sure to try more than one USB port, and try another USB device to ensure the port is working.

Try using the iPod Reset Utility.

If the utility does not recognize the iPod when you plug it in, either the Dock (or the USB plug end) is bad or the connection port on the iPod shuffle is bad.

hey mate...
mine is doing the exact same thing i think my 1 is just over a year old and warranty has also run out not sure what i should do i know its not my charger or usb cord because everyone elses charges fine what else can be done? HELP!!!!

I'm in the exact same position. No light comes on, no charge whatsoever, but my wife's and my daughter's works using all of the same connections. Help??

I have the same problem with my iPod shuffle (Second Generation). When I plug in my iPod nothing is showing on my pc and not even on the iPod. Can you kindly tell me what I have to do get my iPod running again? Thanks!!

Sorry to post the same thing in two topics but I also have a mac (saw a mac user up the post had the problem) and I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm running 10.4.11 and I have the same problem. I've restored 3 times and I've deleted everything off and tried putting it back on. It still keeps telling theres no music on it.

I have the same problem-except the laptop doesn't recognize device at all, and the desktop PC will attempt to sync device, but then says not recognized. Have tested all USB ports on laptop, they work with other devices, and power saving measures are off. If this means there is a malfunction on the Shuffle's end, is there anything that can be done?

My daughter's shuffle is having the same problem. I can't get the light to turn on at all. The computer doesn't even regconize it. I tried using other docks and usb ports and still nothing. I took the advice using the reset utility and it won't run because it says there is no Ipod found. Any other ideas?

this is exactly my problem--i try to reset and i'm told no ipod found. i hope someone can help!

I am having a similar problem now that I restored mine! There is music on my shuffle and it plays ok but when I try and charge it I get 3 orange lights. It doesn't look like it's charging, I get neither a green nor orange light when it's plugged in. Anyone got any ideas? I want to sort it out before the battery runs out and I can't recharge it!

i can't get my computer or i tunes to recognize mine, so i can't restore or reset!

Same problem. I downloaded the reset program. It starts then it just locks up. I left it running all night. Nothing happened. Now what?

Happy to report that after installing an earlier version of iTunes (7.2) as suggested in other topics, problem seems to be solved. Try it!

I've also had two that went through the same problem. Likely from sweat I guess. Now it just happened a third time. Bad design as far as I'm concerned. Apple has been good about replacing them as long as they are within a year. At this point I will just keep sending them back until the warrany totally runs out.

Mine won't recognize either! Received UPS on Monday and shuffle died on Tues. Everything had been working fine and all of the sudden it just stopped working and will not recognize, charge, or anything. Very frustrating. Have spent almost an hour on the phone being transferred all over the world to get my $ back. This is the 4th ipod I've purchased in a month, because everyone in our family wanted one. If this had been the 1st purchase the others would not have been bought! Being put on hold and transferred everywhere has not helped my frustration. I would not recommend a shuffle or Apple support to anyone.
