====Blinking light problem==== ''[[PC World (magazine)|PC World]]'' reported a problem with the first-generation iPod Shuffles ceasing normal function, only to flash orange and green lights and become unmountable. Since the Shuffle has no display, the owner cannot read an error message or troubleshoot easily, requiring diagnosis by Apple service personnel. Flashing green and orange lights on the iPod Shuffle indicate that a generic "error" has occurred, according to Apple's documentation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Quick Reference Card|url=https://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/reference|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050113222349/https://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/reference|archive-date=January 13, 2005}}</ref> If the device is still covered by warranty, Apple will replace it for free.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,126146-page,1/article.html|date=June 22, 2006|access-date=February 8, 2006|first=Stuart|last=Johnston|title=If Lights Blink on Your iPod Shuffle, It Could Be Bad News|work=[[PC World (magazine)|PC World]]|archive-date=April 29, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070429230200/http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,126146-page,1/article.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> This problem has also occurred on second-generation iPod Shuffles.
