iPod shuffles not showing up in Music or finder

Hi, I have two shuffles for swimming and they're not recognized at all. I found this issue in another thread, and tried both solutions - safe mode and another user, but neither worked. I tried Disk First Aid (they don't show up), and turning off Apple Music as well. A few days ago one was working fine, and the other was still in the box, untried. I'd really appreciate any help as these cost $200 each, and another $150 taxes and shipping to get them to me in Costa Rica.. Thanks, Alex

Thank you Mario,

Sure enough it turns out that it's my year old 2020 MacBook Pro, which is on it's last legs. Its replacement sees them just fine. For now... Macs don't last very long in Costa Rica. 🤣
