Restoring iPod Shuffle using windows vista if the device is not showing on itunes?

Hello fellow iPod users
I had this problem in the past, using different computers. Whenever I change the computer, this happens with my iPod... and the solution is always to restore it to factory default.
Currently my iPod shuffle first generation is showing on Windows (Computer), but not on iTunes. I am operating. I tried all the procedures on the support website (re installed itunes, quicktime and all other apple software, changed security software, plugged and unplugged the iPod, reinstalled the usb ports)... after I tried extra procedings such as restoring system and changing to another computer, but the problem seems to continue. When I turn on iPod, it flashes the green and yellow light.
When I plug another iPod on the computer, on the same USB port, iTunes recognizes it and it works perfectly.
So the problem seems to be the same that I had in the past, exactly the same.
My question then is this:
I try to use the restore utilty provided on apple website, but it is not compatible with Windows Vista nor 7. The option given by Apple is to use iTunes to restore the device, but hey, it doesn´t show on the device list, so how can I restore it if it doesn´t show???
I already had this exact same problem and the solution was always the same, but this time I don´t have an Windows XP computer available...
I also had iTunes run a device connectivity diagnosis and it reported all positive results, including: iPod found and USB ports checked.
Orion Noise is the iPod name, since its creation...
Here is all the diagnosis info (in portuguese.... esta sendo executado means is being executed, is working, properly...
funcionando corretamente means it is working correctly.... let me know if you would like anything else translated):

Ipod touch with windows vista

Hi,Im looking into geting the ipod touch,but I have read that the ipod touch does not work well with windows vista. I know the new itunes 7.5 just came out. Has that version fixed the problems with the ipod? Also what are the problems the ipod touch is haveing with vista. I have windows vista 32 bit OS. Thank you very much for your help.

Hey, yeah I have major problems syncing to Vista. The album artwork is assigned to the wrong songs or sometimes a chunk of the picture is not in the right place, some of my songs stop half way through the song then the iPod skips to the next song on the list. My movies periodically decide to crash and the only way to get past these spots is to skip ahead (which is very difficult on the iPod touch especially when the movie is long cause you dont want to miss too much) but yeah just letting you know that there ARE some issues with it not saying that yours will do the same but it might.

I need help restarting my ipod shuffle using windows vista.

When plugging my ipod shuffle 2nd gen into my computer it cannot be recognized. Itunes tells me to download the rest utility which of course only works with windows xp or 2000 and i am running windows vista and know no one who still runs windows xp or 2000. Im no where near an ipod store and itunes customer service 1800 number has been useless. Please help all i want to do is go running but i cant do that without my music!

Hello ChristinaHeras,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1842
We recommend using the latest version of iTunes to restore iPod because this will address the file system issue and will also defragment the iPod drive. Although you can use the Chkdsk utility to fix file system errors on the drive mapped to iPod, Chkdsk will not defragment the drive.
Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Tip: Make sure you always eject iPod properly and that you wait for the orange light to stop blinking before disconnecting iPod shuffle. Read Understanding iPod shuffle status lights to learn more about iPod shuffle status lights.
This issue may be more likely to occur on iPod shuffle if iPod shuffle's file system has become heavily fragmented. A restore will eliminate fragmentation. Chkdsk will not.
Best of luck,
Mario

Connecting iPod Shuffle to Windows Vista RTM

Dear all, I'm having problems connection my great iPod Shuffle to my newly installed Windows Vista RTM.
When I connect the iPod it's is shown as a Device. But I cannot copy any files to the device. It "hangs" for a few minutes before it stops with an error message. "Could not actualize to device. Unknown Error (-50).
Any ideas what this could be? Or is iTunes just NOT "Vista Ready" yet?
Thanks
Simon

1) Check and see if it will sync under XP compatibility mode (right click the program, not the shortcut> click properties, there will be a compatibility tab). A popup may nag you about changing the compatibility, just ignore it for the time being.
2) Check your USB hardware drivers to have them up to date. Vista is one of the weirdest OS's I've been around lately that uses older (read: not native or "updated") drivers and messes up on them...
3) The iPod service might be misbehaving. You can restart it by going to start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click restart service.
4) NT OS's (including Vista) tend to be "closed oriented" on bidirectional hardware access, so make sure you can connect to other devices as well.
So much for the rumored iTunes update with the "colored" shuffles... I guess that's for later...

TS1369 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle with Windows 8?

How do you get a 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle compatible with Windows 8? (it works on just fine in earlier versions)
If you plug it in through a USB connection it blinks orange/green really really fast. It is not recognized neither by Itunes or Windows (PC), Not recognized nor taking any charge.
I first thought it just came to the end of its life, but then plugging it in with my old laptom (Windows XP) and another laptop (Widows Vista) it worked just fine.
I have the newest version of all my software, so this has to be a driver compatibility issue, the question has Apple solved it yet?

I asked about the USB docking cable because some folks who also have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle were trying to use the cable from those shuffles with a 2nd gen shuffle. Or they bought a replacement part that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. It fits, but the connector is different, so it does not work.
You have determined that the shuffle and its cable work properly when connected to a different computer. Since the Windows 8 computer is a new computer that was not used with this shuffle before, the cause could be related to the computer's hardware or software.
As a test, if you have another device that is similar to an iPod, such as a USB flash drive or a mini external hard drive that is powered by the USB port (not something low-power like a mouse or keyboard), connect it to the computer's USB port to confirm the port does generally work for other things.
If the USB port is confirmed to work for other devices, if you have a USB hub, as another test, connect the hub to the USB port. Perferably, the hub is the type that is self-powered (has its own power supply). Connect the shuffle to the hub to see if that makes any difference if the hub is between the iPod and the computer.

Is the video iPod compatible with Windows Vista?

I need to get a new computer and I was wondering if my video ipod will work on a computer that has windows vista. Any help would be appreciated.

So Yes. You iPod will work fine on Vista

Using an iPod mini with Windows Vista

I just purchased a computer with Vista. When trying to install my original software from my iPod mini, I got a Windows message that said:
"Don't install this driver software. You should check your manufacturer's website for updated drivr software for your device."
Does Apple have update software I can download? I haven't been able to find it.

First, I should disclose I'm not on Windows, but I'm going to make an educated guess that all you need to do is download iTunes for Windows Vista. That will have any USB drivers in it to connect to the iPod via USB. Let me know if this works. Ref: http://www.apple.com/itunes/

HT1238 How would you reset a Ipod shuffle with windows 7

Attempting to give my old ipod shuffle away and want to set it to factory settings with windows 7, is there a way to do this.

Connect shuffle. Run iTunes. In the sidebar, select shuffle under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary or Settings tab (depends on shuffle model). There should be a Restore button. Click it to erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
When it start up and connects to iTunes, decline to do anything that syncs music to the shuffle. The new owner should be invited by iTunes on their computer to sync the shuffle to their computer's iTunes library, the first time it is connected.

Listening to Ipod Shuffle with Windows or other media player

Is there any way to listen to an Ipod Shuffle through any computer without the use of the Itunes software, like through Windows Media Player, Real player or Quicktime, simply by attaching the shuffle to the dock and usb port as a "removable hardware device?" I would also like to know why some downloaded songs stop in the middle of them and it quickly skips onto the next track/song? What is up with that? It's quite annoying.

Not with the iPod Shuffle dock, no.
iPods were designed to work w/ iTunes as an integrated hardware/software system. Maybe other, bigger, pods will do what you want, but the shuffle dock can only sync w/ the comp (exchange data) and charge the pod, it does not provide an audio connection to the comp via USB.
That said, if you use the appropriate cable w/ a 1/8" plug to connect a Shuffle to a comp, powered speakers, or stereo system, the pod will function as a music player just fine, but it will not charge while connected in that way.
When a Shuffle is in its dock and connected to a comp, if you 'play' its displayed contents in iTunes, the comp is actually playing the music files that reside on its hard drive, not the music files on the pod.
Regarding your 'skipping' song downloads, I suspect that the files were not fully downloaded. Is it always the same songs that don't finish and skip to the next song? Where were they downloaded from?

If this is similar to what's happening with your shuffle 2g ipod, I may have a weird solution. I spent a few nights troubleshooting this issue and searching many many sites and forums for solutions, all without success. Everytime I plugged the ipod in, XP gave one of the errors at the above URL. I did confirm on another pc that the shuffle was definitely working, because it updated and synched flawlessly. What I finally did to solve the issue was........... remove service pack 2. I know that's a bass ackward solution but it worked! I can now plug my shuffle in and it works everytime, perfectly. The only thing I can say for sure is it's something to do with usb 2.0 on my motherboard. It's a via board btw, with an apollo 333 chipset. Try it for yourself, and let's see if it works. Apple or some other company(you know who) needs to release a patch for this as it seems to be a very common problem.

Is Ipod compatible with Windows VISTA?

Hi Folks
Sorry - may have posted in the wrong discussion, but here's trying!
Read some posts on this subject before, the suggestion is not, the iPod shows up as a removable drive in VISTA but iTunes won't sync - that was RC1 and not release versions. I'm looking to upgrade from XP Pro to VISTA on my home PC (I have the media and my PC is shown as compatible so just I'm itching to make the install!) but worried I'll lose connection to my iPod from iTunes. Anyone done this yet, what was your experience?
Regards
Jay

iTunes is not 100% compatible with Vista.
The filter driver for the burning component of iTunes does not function. If you install iTunes, you will need to remove it by going to Device Manager then View -> Show Hidden Devices.
Expand Non-Plug-and-Play devices, find PxHelp20. Right click that and select Uninstall.
You may have to restart. After this, iTunes will function except for the burning component.

How can I restore 2nd gen shuffle with windows 7

How do I restore a 2nd generation ipod shuffle with windows 7?

Never mind - somehow I got it to work.

HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore. is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

HT1689 how do i reset my ipod shuffle 2nd generation with windows vista?
