That's would be a 1st gen white shuffle that looks like a USB flash drive, correct?
It should work. Did it recently work properly with that computer? Or is this the first time you are trying with that shuffle and that computer?
This is the first time I am using it with this new laptop. itunes recognizes it breifly then it disappears, then reappears, then disappears, etc. Almost like blinking. Thanks for the help.
It's good that it is recognized, even brieftly. Those old shuffles are often broken because of a faulty USB connector.
Are you connecting it directly to your laptop's USB port? If you are using a hub (or extension cable), try a direct connection. If you have other USB devices connected, try it with only the shuffle connected.
I have connected directly to the USB and it is the only device connected 😟
You might want to try uninstalling iTunes, then reinstalling iTunes.
