Good evening, I've been trying to recharge my iPod Shuffle (1 GB with the clip to hook everywhere) for two days now.
When I connect it to my PC, it FLASHES orange.
I've done a lot of research and nothing indicates what I'm really looking for.
I charged it for 4 hours nonstop and nothing is working, the battery is like "empty."
I would like to know how to charge it.
P.S.: I have a special iPod cable to recharge it.
And I would like to know, when charging it, do we set the button to on or off? Here it is :(:(

Hello,
The charging of an iPod Shuffle can display three indicators:
Solid orange: The shuffle is charging
Solid green: The shuffle is fully charged
Blinking orange: The shuffle is connected in disk mode.
To check if the Shuffle is charged, I open iTunes, disable disk mode, then click the eject button in the left sidebar. The green light will then turn on if it has finished charging.

My iPod won’t charge, it flashes orange when I connect it to my PC. What should I do to recharge it?
The problem for me is that the iShuffle is continuously green when connected to the PC, but when I disconnect it, it isn't charged...
First of all, thank you mkt2603 for your explanation =) . I am currently using your reasoning. So far, everything is working as you said. However, I would also like to know how long it takes for a battery to charge to 100% so that I can quickly check if everything is working to let you know that it’s going well. See you!
I bought a cable and when I plug it in, it says that it doesn't recognize the thing and that it's impossible to open it.
Hello,
I'm following up on the subject because I have a problem: I have a 3G iPod (the tiny one without buttons) and I accidentally lost the tiny cable that syncs it with the Mac. I bought a tiny USB/Jack adapter online, but they say it works interchangeably on the 2G and 3G shuffles. So, in the meantime, I modified the dock of my 2G iPod shuffle (I removed the bump in the middle of the dock) to connect my 3G to it... And... it doesn't work.
Do you know if these tiny adapters really work for both?
I'll put a link:

Download the software iTunes and install it, after that your computer will have permission to charge your iPod (there's a small chip in the support).
I have the same problem, bought at the beginning of January, managed to charge it only once and since then nothing. I brought it back to where I bought it, they supposedly did an update which was supposed to fix it, but unfortunately NO, to my great despair, what should I do???
Hi, you need to download and sign up (it's free), you just need a payment method if you buy on iTunes. After you sign up, you just need to plug in your device and it charges, but be careful that your iPod is synced with iTunes. You’ll see it's hard at first, but after 2 or 3 days, it's perfect and you'll manage easily!
Can you explain to me how to find the location to modify this hard drive activation?
Thank you,
Carine
I had the same issue: connect your shuffle and go to My Computer, look for your shuffle under removable disk, mine is called "G", then right-click on the letter and choose "eject" from the list, the light will turn green again if the battery is fully charged.
See you later!
In the end, nothing at all, and while looking around, I came across this forum that helped me a lot regarding the eject position! I'm doing alright so far! Except that when I eject it, it turns solid green, I'm thinking great, music time for me! But when I turn it on, it’s green and then it flashes orange before turning off! What should I conclude from this, 0 charge?! When just 5 minutes ago it was green?
Thanks in advance for any responses!
