Is there any chance it may be the lead?

It's a failsafe to stop shite music being loaded, clear iTunes of any metal and it'll come up first time 😉

On a serious note - try a different USB port if you have a spare, worked for me

I am currently experianceing the same issue. It used to work - I updates Itunes it stops working.
I have 2 other Ipods in my family and they work fine just not the new shuffle.
If you get it working please let me know how! Apple are not helping me.

I presume its the new shuffle. Is the USB lead plugged into a powered USB 2.0 port/hub?
