ipod shuffle 4 connecting problem
iPod shuffle, Windows 7
When you say "dock," is that the USB cable it came with? I'm asking, because it just has a headphones plug connector, not a "dock" (like the 2nd gen shuffle).
As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse, if normally used. Do this to reset the shuffle

If your computer is a laptop, connect it to its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Start it up, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle using its original USB cable to a direct USB port on the computer.
