Q: My Ipod shuffle doesn't work anymore
When it's plug there is a green light but my computer doesn't recognise it. Then when I turn it on I also have a green light but no music. When I press play there is also the green light but no music. Other buttons don't work.

Since this problem with connecting to your Mac occurred at the same time as not being able to play songs, the most likely cause is a fault in the shuffle's headphones jack. Not connecting by itself may be caused by a faulty USB docking cable, or a problem with USB port on computer, but the shuffle would still be able to play songs that are already on the shuffle.
The headphones jack is part of the logic board assembly, which is basically everything inside the shuffle (except for battery). The cost to repair (by a technician) would likely exceed the $49 retail price for a brand new 4th gen shuffle. If you are technically inclined to do it yourself, this web site has repair guides
