When I turn on my 4th generation iPod Shuffle, it prompts "Please use iTunes to sync music to this iPod". However, I don't see this device being detected in most updated iTunes on Widows 10 when connected to the computer.
Please help me where to find the proper drivers or how to reset.
Hello kaanthdotcom,
Ensuring your iPod shuffle (4th generation) is recognized by your PC to sync music is important and you've come to a great place for help! If your iPod isn't recognized by your PC you'll want to complete the steps listed below to resolve the issue. You can also find these steps outlined in the following article.
1: "Make sure that your iOS or iPadOS device is turned on, unlocked, and on the Home screen.
2: Check that you have the latest software on your Mac or Windows PC. If you're using iTunes, make sure you have the latest version.
3: If you see a Trust this Computer alert, unlock your device and tap Trust. If you can't unlock your device because you forgot your passcode, find out what to do.

5: Restart your computer
6: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
