I have the same problem .I tried everything already,I give up if you find a solution plese post it here

Mmm? Unistall itunes stuff so lets go to the control panel and unistall these

1: Itunes

2:Quicktime

3:Apple Application Support

4:Apple Mobile Device Support

5: Apple Software update

Then once it's done restart then install itunes if that doesen't work change your usb connection

If that didn't work which it should head on to a apple store

I tried uninstalling-installing iTunes nothing😠 .I thought about it and I think it's the last resort ( buy another USB connection)

when you have a windows:

1 open iTunes

2 connect iPod

3 open explorer

4 serach the usb ports about the ipod click on them

5 ipod is connected

when ipod is not connected move the power button on the shuffle and press some buttons

i hope i could help you

ipod.just try using all your USB ports and follow the procedure.Thank you Apple0100 🙂

So I recently had this same problem. My Shuffle 2nd gen would not be recognized by my iTunes. It had been a few years since i used it and at one point may have been connected to iTunes on a PC. After several tries at troubleshooting, I realized that maybe the device is corrupted. Since my iMac would not recognize the Shuffle, I connected to a PC and it appeared as a disk. I reformatted the Shuffle in FAT32, plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes recognized it just fine but as a new device. So if you have access to a PC, reformat it there and then try your Mac iTunes again.
