I have this same problem but unfortunately none of the responses here have helped--(my ipod is so dead that even itunes or my computer do not recognize that it is plugged in)...unfortunately iproducts, while well built, typically have the problem of non-replaceable batteries which ends their lifespan sooner than would otherwise be necessary.

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?

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.
