Make sure that you selected the right voltage, if it's a universal adapter. Also, it may required a self-powered USB hub!
matty13 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Install ALL Drivers first before pluggin the device in, then it WILL be reconigsed
Member02PAPP Posted June 3, 2007 Author Posted June 3, 2007 I ahve installed all the drivers and it still wont recognize the iPod and now iTunes wont even open I am really begining to hate iAnything!!
weEvil Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Do you have a USB 2.0 port?How old is the computer/motherboard? Brand and model if you have.And what operating system? I got a Shuffle 2.0 works with 2003 and XP SP2 no problem. No drivers either, it just detects it. Then I import stuff with winamp.

Then I import stuff with winamp.No I do not have USB 2.0 I can't really afford it and the computer I use is a 98 that was updated to XP so I hardly have any disk space left on it right now..I have the XP Home edition that's all I really know right now all the other info is on that computer and I am currently on one running on Windows ME and we couldn't get iTunes on this one >.<
kunal2sh Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Check on Apples site on how to reset your iPod and then connect it. Or use Apple Updater to update firmware. OPen Updater then connect ipod. Or try connecting in Disc mode(search in apple site on how to put in disc mode) if that doesnt work try this: Probably if you have a Windows Xp disc. Do a fresh Install on any PC which u dont use alot. Then plug in Shuffle after a FULL charge.
prx984 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 iTunes is only compatible on a computer running Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.If you cannot get the iPod working, try using Winamp. The latest version has iPod support
