Apple iPod  shuffle Second Gen. Silver (1 GB) MP3 Player (MA564LL/A) Logo
Posted on Dec 03, 2008

My ipod shuffle will not charge up no lights will come at all and has been on the charger. This just happened to me today as well. First I got the orange-green flash of death, then I connected it to my pc and it doesn't charge, nor does my pc recognize its presence.

Apple iPod shuffle MP3 (2nd generation)

It could be a few things.

1, The Charger is bad
2. The battery is completely dead
3. There is an internal malfunction that would require factory service.

While this may not help try plugging the charger into another computers USB port and dock it to see if anything happens.

Apple ipod shuffle

No response from a mac or pc or charger? The usb/charge port got whacked... try extensive wiggling, if anything happens, you know that you have a soldering job ahead of you..

My Ipod shuffle does not work, when I switch on the ipod, I see orange light on and off..it does not show green. I charged the battery for more than 4 hours. Can anyone help ne why is this happening and...

I am not sure about the 1st generation but the 2nd generation definitely charges via the USB connection. If you don't hear the music its because there are no songs on your device. When you initially add songs, they go to the Library in iTunes, not the Shuffle. Just drag and drop your songs from the "Library" to your "Device" in iTunes and then you'll notice them get sync'd with the Shuffle.
