I updated with the latest update few days ago, charged it, transfered the song I wanted and everything went fine. Until I tried to transfer new song. My win xp won't recognise the shuffle. It's like it is dead, ports are working, have tried pluging in the camera in them and they find it. I've tried to plug in shuffle in my laptop, same result. The strange thing is (and I'm saying this after formathing the whole computer) that it still plays when unplugged. That would havev been my first warning that something is wrong. Well right now I'm pretty much close to giving up and buying a new mp3 player. It is not worth sending it to service if it costs half of what a new does player.
I have a simple question tho, if the plug and play thing in win doesn't recognise the device, it there any other way of installing it? I was sure that the ipod updater would take care of this, but it didn't. I might think as the basic window user now, but is there any way of getting a ipod driver (if there is such thing in apple language)?
Also another thing has crossed my mind. This error accured shortely after I got something called Windows media device bla bla with my win update. Could this be connected? If so how come formating the puter didn't help?
I just wish there were a way of knowing for sure that my shuffle is dead.
