I am trying to connect an iPod shuffle to my iMac G5 iSight to put a few mp3's on there. When I stick it in the USB port, the little light on the iPod starts blinking slowly in orange, but nothing else is happening. I can't find the iPod in OSX. (latest version, all updates installed.)

What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do?
 
Try running the latest "iPod software updater" from your utilities folder.
If that program doesn't see the iPod you should send it in for repair (if it's under warranty).
If it is seen by the app, update the software or restore the iPod.

Good luck
