Q: ipod shuffle 2nd generation and windows 7

Do you have iTunes installed on your new Windows 7 PC?  If so, does iTunes see your device when you plug the iPod into an available USB port? 

All models of iPods should be compatible with the latest version of iTunes.

I'm having the same issue.  My old shuffle is totally invisible to iTunes 7.  I was fine with iTunes 6 through last week.  I've been through 7 of the 10 troubleshooting steps listed in the help section, and none of them have helped iTunes 7 see my old shuffle.  I can't find the disc from 2004 to complete one of the steps.  Totally worthless!

What 10 steps are you referring to exactly?

Do you have a 1G Shuffle? If so, perhaps you can try using the iPod Reset Utility if you are running Windows XP or 2000.
