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?
i have the same situation i tried everything its not working i went back to the place i got it from and told them its defective he went back to the maintinence to check it came out after 10 min smiling and listening to my ipod he said i ts working fine i went back home and again i cant load my songs to it?????

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
RichThanks 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

What happens when you try to load those songs (drag and drop in iTunes) from your iTunes music library to your shuffle?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the reply. Your answer crossed my mind but I havent downloaded songs in a while so I never paid attention to whether it was syncing or not. However, in my sync history I see that it successfully synced 3 months ago....

New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import
my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes
I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected. Select it there. The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right. There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there. Is that setting currently checked or not checked?
If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually. It does not use automatic syncing to update content. This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
To add songs manually... Show a song list in iTunes. For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list. Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import." Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
To remove songs manually... Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing. Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings. When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library. -
Ipod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4)
My new iPod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4). Get error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". It works just fine with my iMac (g4). If iTunes is open the shuffle is just not recognized. Have tried my shuffle on a friend's PowerBook (Intel based) and it works fine. His new shuffle behaves exactly like mine on my powerbook. All other uses with USB ports appear fine - flash drives etc. I did initialize a new flash drive with 128 bit encryption before the 1st attempt to initialize my new shuffle.
Help! ThanksDoes it show in Apple System Profiler's USB tree? Have you tried connecting it (through its dock) to another computer?

Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) Does Not Recognize Songs
My Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) does not recognize the songs that are loaded on it. When I turn it on after a full charge the green light stays on for about 5 seconds then turns off. When I press play, the colors flash orange and green indicating there are no songs loaded. I've tried all the recommendations and also seen that people with similar problems have not been able to resolve the problem as well. I've seen some cases where the use of the Ipod Rest Utility is recommended however I have Vista on my PC and there is no version available for that o/s that I could find. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks.
Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) Windows VistaI changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter
Hi,
my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.
