You didn't indicate which OS version you are using in the G3. That is  
a critical issue for recognizing the USB/FW card. If you don't have  
at least 8.6, the computer won't recognize the card and the Shuffle  
won't be seen.

I recommend upgrading to at least OS-9.1 on the G3 to make it easier  
to operate with after-market cards. The machine will easily handle  
that upgrade and it will eliminate other probable issues also.
