Q: My ipod shuffle is not charging. I try changing the charger and re-installing itunes but nothing and I even tried other USB ports from different devices and still nothing. Whats wrong with it?

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?

If you have tried the reset as described above and tried another cable and USB port or wall charger, then it's a pretty good indication of a hardware problem with the device meaning you'll need to have it serviced/replaced.

For the Ipod Shuffle V.2, I found that this link worked for me.

I recently had this issue, turned out that checking "Enable Disk Use" in iTune's settings for the ipod fixed the problem. It's now blinking away and charging correctlyh. Hope that helps.

Thanks!  This seems to have done the trick - iPod shuffle 2nd generation

Thanku!!! you helped fix mine too

Worked for me too!!!  Thank you so much!

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.

thanks budyy....this helped me too.
