Shuffle disappears in device list once Itunes is started
I have been working on this for days.
Recently my IPOD Shuffle stopped synching with Itunes on my computer.
I have a Dell with Windows 7.
This seemed to start when Apple pushed out a new version.
I uninstalled Itunes as suggested in a troubleshooting link and reinstalled the newest version.
If I disable autosynching and just plug in my Shuffle it appears in my device listing.
Once I start Itunes it disappears in the device list.
It shows the following
Windows is uninstalling this device. (Code 21)
I searched the web and tried using unplugging all the other USB devices.
It didn't fix the problem.
I finally tried SHAREPOD as suggested in one repair column.
It showns everything on my IPOD but once I start Itunes, the device disappears, even on SHAREPOD.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
iPod shuffle, Windows 7
