IPod Shuffle Reset utility- is there a file for Windows Vista users?

Hi. I recently bought a new computer with a Windows Vista operating system. I am trying to set up my iPod Shuffle (first generation) to synchronize with my newly installed iTunes version 8. Is there any support for this operating system? I desperately need assistance!

IPod shuffle Reset Utility & older "error 1418" thread

As you probably noticed, there's already an announcement about the iPod shuffle Reset Utility on this forum. As the announcement says, this utility indeed solves problems that were, until now, unsolved. One example is the "error 1418" problem discussed in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3191414
I think it would be really useful if there was a reply on that thread linking to the announcement, since people searching about that issue will most likely find that thread, and not the announcement (precisely what happened to me). The problem is that the thread is locked, but perhaps a forum admin can do it.
If that's not possible, the author of the announcement could at least edit it so that it includes the term "error 1418" (to increase the chance of people searching for that term to find that page).
I apologize if this has been suggested before.

I did not touch my shuffle for 3 days, tried it in my computer again, and it still failed. All the same problems. No lights and none of the programs acknowledged it, except the reset utility, which gave me the same error message.
So, I returned here, praying for answers. Nothing. For some reason, I tried turning the ipod on, and BOOM, I got a green light and it seemed okay. Tried it in my computer again, and now it works! I've reset it anyway (through itunes), and all seems well.
I guess time does heal all wounds. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Assume all worked out unless you hear from me again.
No more radio for me! (again)... yeah.

How are you resetting the password?
Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,

IPod shuffle Reset Utility Reset Error

My ipod shuffle (1st gen) is not shown in itunes or finder.
I have tried all the following already:
1) Switching usb ports
2) Turning on/off ipod
3) restarting computer
4) reinstalling itunes
I followed the directions for Reset Utility. My ipod was found by the utility, but results in a "reset error" everytime (multiple restarts already tried).
Worked fine until I used the ipod to transfer data to a pc. I've done this multiple times w/o a problem. This time, the ipod was incompatible with windows (itunes updated on that computer, too). Don't know if this matters.
None of the lights come on. Does not appear to be charging. The ipod shows no life.
It is no longer under warranty.
Please help or I'll have to listen to the radio in my car.

HT1238 ipor shuffle will not reset. error message: do not have enough access for this operation. Tried ipod shuffle reset utility, error message: intended for 32 bit windows version. This 4th gen ipod shuffle is junk.

why cant this reset?

That old "Reset Utility" is ONLY for the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, which had some issues that prevented using the standard Restore in iTunes, so Apple release that utility. It was released when Windows XP was the latest version of Window; it does not work with Windows 7. But it would not help you if your shuffle is 4th gen.
When you say "reset," are you trying to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, from the shuffle's Summary tab? When does that error message appear, exactly?

Read and Write files in Windows Vista

Im trying to make an AIR application that reads a file from
the users document directory and then try to save it again when
user have made the changes. It works fine on my mac, but when i try
it on windows vista im getting the error code #3003 "File or
directory doesnt exist", but it really DO exist. What am i doing
wrong.. is there some security issues that i have missed? i have
tryed with applicationStorageDirectory aswell and
applicationDirectory, but nothing works. Very greatful for some
advice on what im doing wrong.
/Andreas
_sellerFile = File.documentsDirectory ;
_sellerFile =
_sellerFile.resolvePath("faktura/data/seller.xml");
var stream = new FileStream();
try
stream.open(_sellerFile , FileMode.READ);
var xml = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));
stream.close();
seller = XMLParser.parseSeller(xml, this);
displaySeller();
catch(e:Error)
errorMessage("Varning!", e.getStackTrace() + ", url: " +
_sellerFile.url + ", path: " + _sellerFile.nativePath, "show");

Are you seeing any issues when you open the file in a text
editor? May be it is worth to take a look at permissions for the
file for your vista user and the ownership of the file (properties
-> Security). According to the documentation FileStream.open
will throw error if there is no read permission on the file. Hope
it's a physical file and not a link to any virtual store location.
In the worst case, rename the existing file, manually create a text
file and copy contents from original file to the new one and try.
Good luck :)

Shuffle reset utility.

Hi, just an amusing (to me) story.
I successfully used the shuffle Reset Utility and the first song that my Emac chose to autofill was 'Resurrection Shuffle' by Ashton, Gardner & Dyke. Weird, huh.

Apple iPod shuffle Reset - saves broken iPods :-)

Apple has just released Apple iPod shuffle Reset - 1.0 which says it can restore your faulty iPod Shuffles suffering from orange & Green Flashing lights.

Hope this helps!

IF it's blinking alternating green and two orange (for 10 seconds) it needs to be reset. In this case you can try restoring it in iTunes.
IF, on the other hand, it's blinking alternating green and orange (for 2 seconds)
it's telling you that there's NO playable content on it.
WHICH is it?

My Ipod shuffle is not showing up on my Itunes window on the right hand side of the screen? It is a new one.

Hi Brittcal,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would recommend making sure you've run your Windows software updates, and then follow the steps to remove iTunes and reinstall the latest version. Here are a few articles to help you with this.

I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

Several years ago, I purchased hundreds of dollars worth of music. Subsequently, the computer I used was stolen and I now have an IPOD Nano. Isn't there a way for me to access that music I paid for and download it to the new Ipod.

This is a question. As I previously stated, I purchased hundreds of dollars of music for my original IPOD. It and the computer onto which I downloaded the music have been (for lack of a better term) mislocated or destroyed. I know own an IPOD Nano. Isn't there a way for me to retrieve the music I purchased to download onto the new IPOD. It seems to me that since I paid for it, Itunes should have a record of it and I should still be allowed to access it for a download.

If you are living in the US and using iTunes 10.3 or later you can use the iCloud beta program to redownload your purchases. See this article for more details.

HT4310 I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal or do I need to change something with the settings?

I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes. Is this normal?

It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out. If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field. However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form. Is there any way to do this?

Paul,
I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem. I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem. The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
Thanks so much for your help,
Daniel

It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!
