IPod Shuffle green/yellow flashing APPLE READ THIS AND POST IT!!!

This was posted by ipod user pcgoddess and this is the only way I got my ipod shuffle to work. It would not play it would just blink green and orange. Apple couldn't even put up a solution on their own website. If I were Apple I would be embarrassed.
"After searching high and low, I found a solution in another chat area. It takes a few minutes, but it works.
Place the Shuffle in your PCs USB.
A dialog box may pop up. Do not click it.
Do not click any dialog which pops up asking if you want to put songs from this pc onto this ipod, deleting the old ones.
Click edit, preferences, then select the "ipod" tab.
Check the box "enable disk use".
Move the slider to the right so that it is set to more data (maximum), and 0 songs.
Click ok.
Right click your start button and select "Explore".
Navitage to My Computer, and then seek the drive which represents the shuffle.
Right click the drive and select format.
Leave the options as they are.
Click Start.
After formatting, click eject ipod (icon in the bottom right of the itunes window).
Remove the shuffle.
Re-insert the shuffle. "

2nd gen green-yellow flashing lights with content on iPod

so I looked up the definition of the alternating green-yellow flashing lights and it apparently means that there's no content on the iPod.
But when connected to Mac iTunes it shows that there actually is content on it. Hmmm. I can even play that content *from* the iPod through iTunes interface and hear it through the powerbook speakers.
I ran the iPod reset utility, reset the firmware in iTunes and reloaded the podcasts. Still the same thing.
Seems to sync fine. Don't know what's going on with this.

Make sure the mode switch is set to "play-in-order" and NOT "shuffle".
Flashing green-yellow means there's no PLAYABLE content on the shuffle.

IPod shuffle cannot be updated. cannot read/write

Hi there,
I recently reformatted my Windows XP machine and am now having problems connecting my iPod shuffle again. After installing iTunes 5 and re-associating my iPod shuffle with this computer (that all worked fine), I am now having problems adding songs to the iPod.
When I drag a song onto the iPod, I receive the error: 'The iPod "shuffle" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to.'
I tried restoring the iPod shuffle with the 9-06-2005 update and that worked fine. My iPod has already been updated to the latest software. I also tried uninstalling iTunes 5 and re-installing after a couple reboots. Then I tried removing the entries in the Device manager for the iPod (both "Disk Drives > Apple iPod USB Device" and "USB Controllers > USB Mass Storage Device"). When I reconnected the iPod, Windows recognized the device and reinstalled the drivers but I'm still having the same issue. Additionally, I've tried every one of my USB ports to no avail.
If I try to enable the shuffle for disk use in iTunes, I also get the same issue. I'm not sure what else to try. The computer and iTunes seems to recognize the iPod shuffle just fine; just reading or writing to the shuffle is a problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Isaac

Well, I reformatted the drive (FAT32) and then did a Restore using the latest update (9-23-05, even though today is 9-22-05). iTunes saw the shuffle as a new shuffle and let me name it and then it started to auto-fill the drive. While trying to copy the first song, it says: "The iPod 'Shuffle' cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I tried the iPod shuffle on two other computers and on both of them it works fine. So, I thought it was my primary computer that has the problem. I bought a new USB card, and tried updating the USB drivers again. But, I have the same problem regardless of using the motherboard's USB ports or my new USB card's ports. sigh
Any other ideas?
Isaac

When I try to upgrade the ios software on my ipod touch 4 g flashes Apple . Heip me please!

when I try to upgrade the ios software on my ipod touch 4 g flashes Apple . Heip me please!

Next try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

Frankly just about any headset with the proper size connection will likely work. We like ear buds with soft coverings so even when we get a hard headset with a player we swap them out. While Apple might just possibly give you a set for free since they are not an expensive item, loss is not covered by warranty. If you're a long drive from an Apple Store it might cost you more in fuel and vehicle wear and tear than going to a local store and buying a comfortable replacement.

IPod Shuffle Does Not Support Apple LossLess?

i ripped some songs in apple lossless from my cd collections. then i tried to upload those songs to my old iPod Shuffle. But it was denied, and i have to check the "covert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps" check box.
so ipod shuffle doesn't not support apple lossless?
thanks.

so what's the difference between a play list and a smart play list?
A playlist you need to add songs to it yourself by dragging songs to it.
A smart playlist selects songs based on the criteria you set. You cannot drag songs to a smart playlist.
do i create a play list for each of the albums?
No.
i have 4000+ songs, can i just add 1 play list and convert all of them to 192kbps?
Yes.
File -> New smart playlist.
Match All rules:
Kind is AAC
Bit Rate is 192 {or whatever you select in iTunes prefs -> Import settings}
Songs will be added to this playlist automatically after they get converted.

Ipod shuffle green statuslight will not turn off

Dear
I tried several times to reset my ipot shuffle,
and to install new from the original ipod CD.
In itunes there is no problem, Ican see the ipot in the list, and there is no failure.
But when I disconnect it, and turn it on with the switch,
the green status led on the front is lightning, and it will
not turn off.
When I push buttons, there is no response.
Before this failure, the green status light went out
after 3 seconds when switch on.
what can I do?
I dont feel like wasting my time trying to get it
running again. What I need is a clear discribtion
what to do, because I did find nothing with this
sympthom.
Cheers A.O.

I have the same problem. It happend when I deleted and reinstalled the Itunes software. The software installation ask to "format" the Ipod, the applcation crashed and since then I can download music in the Ipod, I can see it connected to Itune and to My Computer, but I cannot use it to listened to music by itself. The green light doesn't turn off and nothing happen.
What sould we do?

Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.
