Answer 1

i did it on the PC
The reformatting was done using Windows? 
Was there a problem (before you did the formatting) that caused you to try using Windows to reformat the shuffle's storage (instead of just doing a normal Restore using iTunes)?  If so, that same original problem may be causing the problem with it stalling during the "recovery."
Normally, if you do a reformat of the iPod's storage outside of iTunes, when you run iTunes with the iPod connected, iTunes should see an iPod in "recovery," and ask you to Restore it.  The Restore re-installs the iPod's software. 
but never appears in itunes on my mac
If you have a Mac, I would try using Disk Utility (on the Mac) to erase the shuffle.  Connect the shuffle.  With iTunes NOT running, run Disk Utility.  Does ths shuffle appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?  If so, select the shuffle there; make sure you select the shuffle (the device), NOT the volume indented under the shuffle (if there is one). 
Over to the right, go to the Erase tab.  For a shuffle, select MS-DOS (FAT) as the Format (although it probably does not matter because you will be doing a Restore in iTunes later).  Name it whatever you want.  Erase it. 
If that completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes.  It should find the shuffle in "recovery" and tell you to do a Restore.
