You have to reset your ipod shuffle to get rid out of this problem. To reset your iPod shuffle:

1. Eject your iPod shuffle from iTunes, if connected.
2. Remove iPod shuffle from the USB dock.
3. Move the switch on the top of the iPod shuffle to the off position.
Tip: When iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move the switch back to the ON position so the green strip is visible.

Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Make sure iPod shuffle is firmly seated in the dock. Make sure the USB connector is oriented correctly. It can be inserted only one way.

Note: Do not use the USB port on your keyboard.
