My iPod shuffle stopped working with iTunes. My iPad Mini still connects, but when I plug my shuffle in to charge, iTunes says the software for this iPod was not correctly installed. I reinstalled iTunes three times, restarted my laptop. Nothing. Help?

My iPod shuffle stopped working with iTunes. My iPad Mini still connects fine, but when I plug my shuffle in to charge iTunes says the software for this iPod was not correctly installed. I reinstalled iTunes three times and restarted my laptop. My computer also did a search on my shuffle and said it was fine. So.. I don't know what's wrong with it. My shuffle still works and still charges, it just can't connect to iTunes.
