ipod shuffle

For some reason my ipod suddenly seized to be recognized by my usb's. I've tried looking it up under 'mass storage device' in device manager but it wasn't listed. I also have newest version of itunes. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Did you try restarting the computer and plugging in again?

 

yep. multiple times.

Hey! I had that exeact same problem, except it was with a pair of USB speakers. They just quit making sound. I eventually unpluged them, then went to device manager and unstalled the driver. Then I pluged them back in and they have worked fine ever since.

It worked for my speakers, but I'm not sure if you would want to do that to an i pod and risk losing your music collection.

 

Apple's troubleshooting didn't do much for me. any other ideas?

 

bump.........

 

Type 'services.msc' in Run & check if iPodservice or iTuneshelper have been stopped... Right Click on them & click on Start. Reconnect your iPod then.

Are other USB devices working? & did u try the Diagnostics mode for iPod?

Let me know

 

what I did when it happened on my dads comp was went to task manager and then to thr processes tab or whatever and i ended all apple processes like apple mobile device, etc and then replugged it back in and windows recognised it again.

 

Coz the processes start-up type must ve been 'Automatic' ...if its 'Manual' then it wont start unless u manually go to services.msc & start it

 

but it doesn't even recognize a 'mass storage device' in the device manager...
