I believe blinking orange means the iPod shuffle is in use by the computer (in some way). That's actually good, because it means it is at least recognized as being connected to USB.


If you have not already, be sure to try shutting down the computer completely (power off), with the iPod NOT connected. Also, follow this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle.

Turn on your computer. Run iTunes. Connect the iPod shuffle.
