Laptop won't boot after installing iPod Shuffle

I got a new iPod Shuffle and I installed the software from the CD provided onto my laptop (Sony VAIO running Windows 2000). Now the PC won't boot at all, not even in safe mode.
The boot starts out ok, but hangs forever with the Windows 2000 splash screen showing and the progress bar for starting up displayed.
In safe mode, the last system driver loaded was mup.exe. I followed some suggestion found on other web sites but nothing seems to help.
What has the iPod shuffle software done to my lpatop? How do I get the laptop to boot?
I can boot from a floppy. I can run the recovery from the Windows 2000 CD, but still the laptop will not boot.
Help!
Thanks

As in 1st post, there is no last 'good' configuration as it is a fresh install of XP. Rolling back will just get back the default windows driver which cannot support the Nvidia NVS card. My goal is to successfully install the Lenovo Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m driver.
That said, could my problem lie with the XP version? The fresh install is XP SP0. If I update to SP3 do you think that will solve the problem (i.e. the graphics driver is written for later versions of XP)?

IPod Shuffle Software 1.1.4 is it safe to use?

Hi,
I was just wondering if it safe for me to use this on my iPod. Cause my last iPod shuffle had green and amber lights after installing 1.1.1. then when i got this one i keep 1.1 on it,
many thanks

If you mean you're looking for a guarantee that nothing will go wrong if you upgrade to 1.1.4, no matter how you do it, then no ....... from that perspective, it's not safe.
If you're asking with installing 1.1.4 damage a Shuffle, no matter who installs it or when or how then, again, no. From that point of view it is safe.
Upgrading is never mandatory or forced and, if you don't want to and don't want the new features that might be included in the upgrade (Volume limiting, for example, is included in 1.1.4) then of course you can just skip it. Eventually you will probably face some incomptiblity between iTunes and Shuffle software and, when that happens, you'll have to make different choices.

Can't install iPod Shuffle?

I've had my 20GB iPod for almost a year now, and I've just bought an iPod Shuffle, but can't seem to install it. iTunes won't recognise it, and when I use the CD, I get the same problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

hey brendan the problem is that it depends what version of i tunes u have if u have 4.7 that is primary better for using the shuffle because it has all the right applications for it. The new version 6 might cause problems with shuffles it did for mine. Try uninstalling the 20 gb i pod and installing the shuffle first. Then installing the 20 gb one after that might work. Cause im not to familar with the 20 gb ones im not sure if u can run two i pods at the same time one on application like i tunes it simply one lets u run one.

Steps on Installing iPod Shuffle on Comp that has iPod Mini Installed

I will be getting an iPod Shuffle soon and will be installing it on the same computer that already has my iPod Mini (2nd gen) installed. It's a PC and I'm running XP Home with iTunes version 6.0.1.3. I was just wondering if prior to getting the Shuffle if there are any steps that I should follow when installing it. I understand that there are some issues with muliple iPods so I'm just getting as much info as I can.
I have already read through this document: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 and will be trying Method Two. But what the article doesn't tell me is if I should still input the CD that comes with the Shuffle..or if I should just try plugging it in directly when I get it. I'm assuming that I still input the CD and run the Shuffle installation and then when it gets to the iTunes installation I just quit (since I already have iTunes on my computer)?? Is that right?
Are there any detailed steps out there that can provide me with a step-by-step guide of installing two iPods (1 Mini, 1 Shuffle) on the same computer? Thanks in advance!

So you can't manually drop songs into the Shuffle from iTunes (like you can with the Mini)? Are you saying that the preferences have to be set to automatic to get music onto it?
You can move songs to and from the iPod shuffle playlist in iTunes so that only the ones you want on the shuffle appear in that playlist.
Do I not need to format the Shuffle to work with my PC?
The iPod shuffle comes in FAT32 format, and only works as a music player when it is in this format. The iPod nano comes in FAT32 format, but converts itself to HFS+ if the first machine it is plugged into is a Mac.
So, even if I have the 1.4.1 update and 6.0 of iTunes (which I believe are the latest) I can just plug it in without running the install/format from the CD?
Yes.

IPod shuffle software update status different between users

With User 1, iTunes 7.0.2 says my 2G iPod shuffle is up to date (software version: 1.0). If I switch to User 2 and plug the same iPod shuffle into the dock, then iTunes says there's an iPod sofware update available (version 1.0.1). I decline the offer to update. Going back to User 1, no update is suggested (version 1.0 is current).
Why does iTunes report a different software update status depending on which user is active? I don't think there's a software version 1.0.1 for the 2G iPod shuffle.
There is no ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ folder for either user.

I found the solution on MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
Summary: on the Summary tab, click Restore (will pop up a confirmation dialog), then Cancel, and the Update button then indicate version 1.0.1 for User 1. Then click Update. iTunes did the update, no muss, no fuss.

Installing IPod shuffle hardware error. Not XP tested.

I can't install the ipod shuffle (hardware) on my computer because it does not have the "XP" approved. Meaning taht it does not show up on an XP tested list of hardware. Has anyone had issues with this? Did you just install it anyway?

Do you mean it doesn’t show up in iTunes when you plug it in?
Have you installed iTunes?

Great News! New iPod shuffle software!

This update (as I have confirmed) fixes the infamous non-playable iTunes Music Service song problem that causes the shuffle to free or hang before playing a certain purchased song. Also, be sure to check out your iPod options because this update also adds the much desirable SOUND CHECK function to the shuffle's repertoire!
Mac users use Software Update (there's also a new Security Update for Tiger users).
Windows users head to the iPod website to download.
Enjoy!

Okay, on my 512MB iPod shuffle it does appear that the problem with non-playable iTunes Music Store songs has been resolved. It's fixed, finally. I had five songs that I'd purchased out of approximately 500 that would cause my iPod shuffle to lock-up, they all work now. However, there is a side effect or continued problem, you can't restart these songs once they have been paused, the player just skips to the next song in the list. So, either Apple didn't test for that little problem, or it's an unavoidable side effect to how they fixed the much more serious lock-up bug. I suspect it may be the latter.
Also, Ben, I can't find any addition for the sound check function for the shuffle. It appears in the iTunes Audio preference (as always), but under iPod it just show the following five options:
Open iTunes when this iPod is attached
Keep this iPod in the source list
Only update checked songs
Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC for this iPod
Enable disk use (and the More Songs...More Data slider)
Also, I don't hear any improvement in the control of the volume levels on my shuffle, even though I have sound check enabled in the Audio preferences for iTunes.
So, it appears that you may have been incorrect about the addition of sound check or only certain iPod shuffles support that new feature. I purchased my shuffle fairly early, about one month after they were first introduced.

Error when installing ipod nano software

When I try to load the software for my ipod nano I receive the following error
1601:unable to install installshield scripting runtime
I have tried all of the solutions offered but still no luck

OMG! You could sub-title this: "Why Windows Blows" ... I bought a new iPod for my wife - I have to install the sw on the loser windows box because she uses that box.
The iPod (cd) and/or the iTunes (apple.com download) install blows up either under my admin/unrestricted account, or as her limited-user account with the errors described above. I've followed all the links, etc., and jumped through all the hoops but I still get the %#$! 1607 error.
When I try, as a windows "super-user" <snort> to reset the perms on the windows/Installer directory, it gives me the appearance of allowing me to uncheck the box and take the directory out of read-only more, but it doesn't actually reset the directory permissions.
Since windows isn't smart enough to have an equivalent of a chmod 775 command....it looks like we're hosed.
I'm subscribing to the thread in the hopes that someone can actually figure out how to install this software on Windows successfully....until then, I guess she'll have to manage her iPod on my one of my Macs if it will support multiple iPods....
Hey ... Apple - how about itunes/ipod support for linux?
Sigh...frustrated beyond belief; I feel so unclean every time I have to use a windows system...

Installing Ipod without software

Hello, I recently purchased a 1st generation 10 gig ipod from ebay and it didnt include the itunes disc. I am wondering how to install the ipod without a disc which guides you through the installation process, is there something appropriate i need to download, if so could u link me?, thanks a lot

Here's the iTunes software, download and install this first.
iTunes.
Here's the iPod software.
iPod Updater.
Normally, you would install the software on the iPod to format it for Windows use. However, and I may very well be mistaken here, but I am almost certain that the first generation iPods won't work on the Windows platform.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Itunes won't open, music gone after installing ipod/itunes software again

I was using itunes to purchase music and burn it to cds. I recently got a nano and tried to install the software last night. Now Itunes won't open, and I don't even see any of my downloaded music on my computer. It's possible that it's a problem with my computer, but we're also looking into the issues reported with Norton, etc. I should know more by tonight. My question is how do I get my music back if it was somehow deleted by this process? Obviously I've already purchased it, but I don't remember all the songs and I didn't have a backup.

You need to search your hard drive(s) and recycle bin for the music files.
Purchased music will always have a .m4p file extension.
Without a backup, if the files are gone, the music is gone.

(ipod shuffle) software updates on CD?

hi,
is it possible to get software updates (specifically ishuffle and itunes) on CD?
Itunes is telling me that a new software version is available (for my ishuffle and itunes), but I'm loathed to sit connected on my snail-paced modem for 4 hours while the update dowloads! I'd like to keep my shuffle updated with the latest bug-fixes.
Is the CD route an option? If so, is there a cost??
Thanx in advance for any answers!
Windows XP

Thanks for the replies! Will have a go at the broadband to CD method

Re-installed ipod nano software and can't get access now

I decided to change some of my songs on my ipod nano however I messed up and deleted all my songs on my Ipod. I couldn't get the songs to download onto the nano again so I uninstalled the programme and started all over again as if I had just bought the Ipod and was setting up for the first time. Unfortunately, when I tried to start loading music again I got the message "Itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how I resolve this?

Try installing the current version of iTunes; if you reinstalled the original CD that came with a first generation iPod nano, it includes iTunes 6 which can't read the iTunes 7 library format.

Microsoft OS version not compatible with iPod shuffle software

Does anyone know of a Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 compatible iPod Updater?

If it's from 2006 or later, which it sounds like it is, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If you run Software Update after you get it, it should offer 10.6.8, and if run run it again after that, it should offer iTunes 11.
If you want, you can even update all the way to OS X Mavericks (10.9), the latest release of OS X, if your iMac is from 2007 or later, which is sounds like it is. Mavericks is free but requires Snow Leopard first.
