I hope that someone in this newsgroup can help me. If I have chosen
the wrong newsgroup then please direct me to another one.

I am a seventy something and I am having a problem with IPOD Shuffle
that I bought on the 3rd of April this year in order to listen to
podcasts received on my PC.

After numerous attempts over the last seven weeks I have failed to get
it to work.

I have Windows XP with Service Pack 2.

I carried out the installation involving a download of ITunes carried
out according to the iTunes online manual. I Plugged the Shuffle into
the docking unit which I then connected it to the PC via its USB
cable.

When the iTunes screen appears it contains a list of tunes which
presumably were downloaded at the time of installation.

I waited until the little pilot light went from orange to green. I
then initiated ITunes and waited for it to synchronise.

When I turn the Shuffle on nothing comes through the earphones.

I have tried every combination of the buttons on the face of the
Shuffle that the manual describes and every other combination that I
can think of.

What I have not done so far is uninstall and reinstall ITunes. Does
anyone recommend this?

If I can’t get my Shuffle to work I will have to write it off and go
for another brand of mp3 player. I used to have a Creative V100 that
worked fairly well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you set the iPod to synchronize or not?
