Error 1429: IPOD Shuffle 2nd Gen won't sync or restore after itune9 install

all,
After installing itunes version 9 I plugged my shuffle 2nd gen into the port but it froze when I tried to sync, the shuffle had previously been working fine with itunes 8. I disconnected and reconnected and itunes promted a restore. This could not be complete and an error 1429 message was returned.
After completting all the trouble shooting steps on the apple website the problem was still not fixed, and becasue I am using vista the iPod Shuffle reset utility wouldn't install.
I have been reading of similar problems, so anybody who has a solution or news from the ellusive apple tech support it would be great to hear from you.
regards
Rich

Thanks for the response. Yeah, all on that page and the linked pages. Very time consuming but it was working fine before loading itunes 9 so, it would be a waste just to bin the shuffle. Cheers
Rich

IPod Shuffle(2nd Gen) will not sync or restore

I've done it all. Tried different USB slots. The 5 R's. Reset Utility. Made the appleipod.bat file and ran it with the .dll's....
My iPod wont sync and allow new music to be put on. I was able to reset the iPod with the reset utility and I have no music on it anymore. Can't sync it with new music either.
Was the shuffle amde to be a obsolescence device? Meaning it was intentionally made to break after just 1 month of using it?
Anyone know any fixes?

My Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen won't update!

I'm having trouble with my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen. Every time I try to update it, it won't update. And when I try to charge it, it will only charge when I'm not using Itunes. I really need my shuffle right now this month because I'm going on important trips and I don't mind listening to the same songs I already have on it but I really would like to have this problem fixed. I barerly got my shuffle 2 months ago, is there anyways I can return it for another one?! Please help!

How do you know if won't charge with itunes open? The USB port should be charging unless the PC is off, regardless of what software is running. But if that is the case, eject the ipod and close itunes.
You don't state whether you get any error messages. Does in give you a message the its syncing then finish and no songs transferred? Have you checked your settings on what library (music) it is being filled from?

Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen won't turn on

Hey,
Just recently found my mom's unused Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen, sealed, not opened and still in the box. So i wanted to check it out see if it works, it connected to the computer just fine, put all the music on, charged fully and the green light was on while it was connected to the computer, the problem is as soon as i unplugged the ipod from the computer it wont respond the the on and off switch, its suppose to give out a green light when its on right? i dont see any.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is here?
Thanks

Lithium-ion batteries, if left in a completely discharged state for an extended period, can become unable to hold a charge. That 2nd gen shuffle has been sitting in its unopened box for about five or six years. If that's the case here, it operates fine while getting power from the USB port, and appears to charge, but it is unable to hold that charge when disconnected from power. Therefore, nothing happens when you move the power switch. Here is a document from Apple about batteries
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
(see Long Term Storage section)
You can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, in case the problem is related to software. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen, when it is selected in iTunes.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen won't charge

I've got a problem with my ipod shuffle 2nd generation.
When I connect with computer to charge, it flashes green twice then goes to orange and flashes quickly and then back to green and orange and then cuts off completely without connecting to itunes.
It then goes on to state in itunes: 'Itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes'.
I am fearful that restore means that my songs will be erased. Songs that I downloaded a few years ago and are no longer on my computer. Is there anything else that I can do?
Thank you.

by the way I'm using a macbook with osx lion

HT1386 ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync with Windows 8 laptop

Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop? It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Have you:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen won't work, light flashing green and orange

My 2nd gen ipod shuffle won't work and the light is flashing green and orange. Or green, orange, orange, orange. I've Reset, Restarted, Restored and Re-installed, so before I chuck it out I wondered if there were any other suggestions to get it working? Thanks,

Sounds like it's still under warranty (one year). Take it back for replacement.

IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen Won't Connect to Mac

I have recently re-vitalized an iPod shuffle thought dead due to being thru a wash-cycle in our washing machine. I was able to plug it up to our mac and let it charge up, but it won't show up on iTunes (of which, we have one of the newest editions).
I tried "reseting" it and then plugging it back in. I tried turning it on while being plugged in (and off too). I also tried plugging it up to my windows machine, and it installed the driver and I could clearly browse the device and view the songs on it.
So it clearly works and plays songs when I plug some earphones into it, but for some silly reason it won't load on iTunes 11.0.2 (on our iMac running OSX 10.6.8). Can anyone offer some assistance? Thank you!

If you have other Apple devices, connect ONLY the shuffle, with iTunes running.
If it's the only Apple device connected, and the shuffle is really not being recognized by iTunes, the heading DEVICES should not be in the iTunes sidebar at all (since iTunes sees no devices connected). If you DO see DEVICES in the sidebar (with nothing listed below), the list of devices may be hidden. When you move your mouse pointer over DEVICES in the sidebar, you should see a Show or Hide "toggle" to the right. If that says Show, click it to show the list of devices.
If that does not help, since your shuffle is 2nd gen and you use a Mac, you can try running the iPod Reset Utility

Ipod shuffle second gen won't sync properly

Does anyone else have an Ipod and a Netgear SC101? It appears there is a conflict with the drivers. Unfortunately I can't really afford to replace the SC101 with an alternate form of storage and there really isn't a replacement for the shuffle on the market.
Here's the main issue. Starting from a freshly reset ipod (using the reset utility) iTunes opens and offers to rename and fill my iPod. If I say OK, I get an iPod full of music from my music library. If I say no, and I try to sync the iPod at any point in the future, I get disk write errors. Also, after the initial sync specified above, further syncs do not work. I can't change any settings, I can't upgrade the software, etc.
Any help? The guys on the netgear forum seem to be struggling with this as well. I refuse to believe I will never be able to use my shuffle and my "toaster" on the same PC.
Please, please, please help.

On a related topic, is there a plan to update the iPod reset utility to restore the 2nd gen shuffle to 1.0.3? I'm not sure what it fixes, but as it stands I can't update using iTunes.
Also some additional information: After I reset using the utility, the iPod shows up in My Computer as a separate drive. Also iTunes starts automatically and asks to sync it. As soon as I take any action, the iPod drops off as an available drive.
I think one method to fix this may be to provide some default values in the reset utility. I would like to enable the shuffle for disk usage and change the default playlist to sync with. If this happened during the reset (which is the only way I currently have to change the music on my shuffle) I might have a chance of future syncs without resets.

Ipod Touch 2nd gen won't sync, show up, or charge

The title says it all. An ipod touch of mine (8g 2nd gen touch) will not turn on, respond to any button commands, show up in itunes, and barely charge. My wall charger's light will light up (indicating it is charging), but it will not do anything. I'm pretty sure there have been many questions like this, but im lazy and can someone help me in this specific case?
thannks.

i have tried there, but its not that kind of problem. believe it or not i have a decent share of experience with ipods and am great at programming and other electronics. the screen is totally black. no connect to itunes, or battery low. black black. its really weird.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync Nike+ Running

I just bought Nike + iPod Sensor because it says it is compatible with 2nd Generation iPod Touch, but when I try downloading the app it says it is not compatible with my iPod Touch. The 2nd generation iPod Touch won't let me download past 4.2.1 to the new 5.1 which the Nike + app says I need. Any suggestions?

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync music from my computer.

I connect my iPod to iTunes and it says "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)."
Photos, apps, movies, and such can all be changed and synced, but audio files can't. I can put a song on the iPod and iTunes will that it's been added, display it amoung my other music, but when it doesn't actually appear on the iPod itself.
All my software in update-to-date, I've tried using different cords to connect my iPod to the computer, and I've restarted the iPod several times.
Is there something wrong with the iPod? How can I fix this?

Have you tried here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
