needing advice about my ipod shuffle by bess carroll on 11-19-2007 at 04:52 AM
The light comes on, the playlist shows up and plays on itunes on my computer, but when the headphones are plugged in, no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be fantastic...thanks!

Tried different headphones?

yeah, tried 3 different sets. Is it possible for the buttons to just "go bad"? How long are shuffles supposed to last?

My son had the same problem. Here is what I did to fix the ipod shuffle.
First, I erased all of the itunes and ipod programs off of his computer and reloaded them.
Second, I downloaded the LATEST installer. (I first downloaded the wrong one) It should be the most recent available at www.ipod.com.
Third I plugged the shuffle into the computer and erased everything on the shuffle to restore to factory settings.
Then I reloaded the libary back on to his shuffle.
This took a few hours but it will work.
Now mind you, I also tried and tried to reformat too and it didn't work because there are old updaters that will tell you that your shuffle does not need to be formatted. Get the very latest one and it will re format and update your shuffle and you will be able to then enjoy your shuffle.
