Sep 12, 2012 2:48 PM in response to .BATMAN.by planb77,Are you using a cable that is/was specifically for the 2G iPod Shuffle? I ask, because the cable for the 3G and 4G is different and will NOT work with a 2G Shuffle.
Have you tried resetting the Shuffle after leaving it to charge for at least 30 minutes?

Sep 12, 2012 3:35 PM in response to planb77by .BATMAN.,yes the cable Im using is compatible with the ipod shuffle. I bought it at the store and showed them my ipod shuffle and i left it more then 2hrs charging and nothing i think that the battery is probably dead and is not gonna come back to life. Im so sad, its so hard for me to buy things like tha i had it for a few years now. it was what got me through the day . Well, if u guys have any other solutions or suggestions please let me know. Another thing I forgot to mention was that it don't even pop up in my computer or on my Itunes.

Jun 13, 2014 5:51 PM in response to CHIEGL1967by calail,Thanks CHIEGL1967. Your tip worked perfectly for me... My shuffle won't charge on the wall charger, or through the USB UNLESS I have iTunes opened. A real pain in the you know what, when I'm traveling... but it will work for now.
