If you press a button and see both the green and
amber lights blinking, one after another, that usually
means there are no songs on the iPod, or some other
error has occurred. Try resetting it by turning it off
for 5 seconds, then back on. If you still get the
psychedelic lights, you'll need to connect to a
computer and load some music.
When your iPod shuffle is connected to a computer, you'll
see the amber light. A blinking amber light means,
"I'm
busy. Please don't disconnect me."
If you have disk mode
turned on the light will blink whenever the iPod is plugged
in. With disk mode off, the light blinks only when it's
transferring music. Be sure you click the eject icon next to
the iPod name in iTunes before unplugging a blinking iPod.
If the amber light isn't blinking, feel free to unplug at will.
There's another set of LEDs on the back of the iPod shuffle.
When you're playing tunes and you press the oval button
on the back, these tiny lights tell you about your battery
level: green for a good charge, amber for low, red for uh-
oh, and no light for no charge. When the shuffle is
connected, the battery light blinks if the orange light on the
front is blinking, as an additional reminder not to
disconnect if you happen to be staring at the wrong side of
your shuffle.
