but does your ipod charge when it is connect to the computer? if so it is not the port. A;ll you need to do is rename you iPod device drive ( F;,X:, Y:) and it should be able to read it. But be warned, you should first enable your computer to show secrect files

no it isn't charging no lights

Charging with a dumb charger (a USB aftermarket plugged into a cigarette lighter USB adapter) is possible, but I know that doesn't help with the computer not regognizing it.

theres no lights on the ipod , when i put it on the chager it wont work

Sorry, but it sounds like its dead :( . You could always get a new shuffle though! They're cheap and come with 2gb's instead of one for more storage.

my ipod shuffle is not recgonized on my computer and no lights showing me that its charging

install itunes 7... then connect your Ipod Shuffle 2G in a high power usb port... 100% working result..
