IPod Shuffle won't work after downloading iTunes 7

Help!
I downloaded iTunes 7 and it told me my Shuffle was corrupted (even though it worked perfectly fine in iTunes 6 five minutes before). It prompted me to "restore", which I did, only to get another error message saying that it can't be restored (error 1418). Now I think my Shuffle it totally shot (not recognized by Windows either) and I can't get it to work at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

it comes up momentary... then shows a message... "Updating iTunes library"... then locks up.
that is typically caused by a problem with one of your content files.
tracking down which file(s) are causing the issue can be a pain. but you could try the "Check for content files with issues" section from the following document:

  • My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

    my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

    maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
    i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
    i hope it can help you...
    and trust me IT WORKS....

  • IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

    I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
    I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
    Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
    Thanks in advance.

    After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
    All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

  • Ipod touch won't work after installing a new app.

    Hi!
    Last night, I decided to install a new "Alarm clock," app and test it out by setting it to ring a minute later- what a BIG mistake, because during the time it was supposed to ring, it made my Ipod touch completely crash instead. For the past few hours all it's been doing is flashing back and forth between my homelock screen (with the "slide to unlock," bar at the bottom) and the Apple logo, with the round 'processing' image infront of it.
    I have tried many different things to get it out of this funk but nothing has worked! I tried resetting the Ipod by holding down the menu and power button, the screen went black temporarily, didn't show the "slide to power off" bar and then just reloaded with the same two flashing images. I tried restoring it, but it wouldn't restore, until I did a special reboot that I read about via online boards- where you have to hold the power + menu buttons for 10 seconds, then release the power button whilst holding just the menu button for 10 seconds- but, whilst the Ipod did go through the whole restoring process thereafter, it didn't manage to sync up.
    Now, not only does my ipod STILL flash back and forth between those two images. I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)! I used a different cable to try and sync up, but the blasted thing still won't stop flashing back and forth between those two images, and the ipod is not being recognised by itunes so the ipod keeps beeping, in and out of itunes and won't sync!
    My ipod isn't 'jailbroken,' I haven't touched it's software or altered it in any way, to how it was sold to me. I would've liked to have brought it back the the Apple store to be looked at, but I don't think they'll help me because the top left hand corner of my Ipod is completely missing after my niece dropped it a few months ago- the Ipod still worked (up until I installed the **** alarm app) perfectly well until now!
    Also, I have a mac, so any tips on how to access/help/fix this problem would have to have instructions for a Mac OS not Windows please!
    Many thanks!

    I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)!

  • Ipod shuffle won't work

    Somebody please help!! I can't beleive there are so many others out there with the same problem. My son is most disappointed, as am I that his xmas present that he wanted so badly is a piece of %$^#&!!!! Apple should be doing something about this NOW!! If there is anyone who has come up with a quick fix to this problem (I have tried everything) please reply!!!

    Hi,
    I like you had many problems getting my ipod shuffle to work properly. I finally got a very helpful apple tech guy to help me, and now it works. Here's what we did (these are instructions for windows xp machines):
    1. Go to apple.com/ipod/download, and download the latest software updater 2005 - 11 - 25.
    2. Once downloaded, install the software updater.
    3. Restart machine, with the ipod inserted in the USB port, power setting to OFF position.
    4. Once cpu is restarted, go to Start -->ipod-->ipod software updater.
    5. Click on "Restore" when the ipod updater window invites you to.
    6. Once finished, disconnect Ipod, and turn the power switch to one of the "on" positions (it doesn't matter which).
    7. Green light should come on and turn off. Turn off power switch a second time and wait 10 seconds.
    8. Insert ipod back into USB port; it should automatically start itunes, which should then offer to setup your ipod.
    9. It will automatically begin downloading all songs from your itunes library onto the ipod. WHen complete, you can disconnect ipod, and hopefully the thing will work.
    NB: unlike other mp3 players, you MUST use itunes to download your music onto the ipod. you cannot click and drag music using windows.
    Hope this helps, and shame on apple for making it so complicated.

  • Ipod shuffle won't stay connected in itunes

    I have an old ipod shuffle, the kind that's white and looks like a flash drive.  I just got a new Windows 7 laptop, and installed itunes on it.  I spent a few hours transferring all of my music over to itunes on the new laptop.  Then, when I plugged my ipod shuffle into the laptop, it wouldn't properly synch.  It makes a "beep" sound, flashes that it's available in the itunes screen, disappears, beeps again, reappears, etc.  I checked in control panel and my computer, and it really is appearing in my computer, then disappearing, then reappearing.  I tried to plug my ipod into all of the different USB ports.  I also tried restarting my computer.
    How do I get it so I can access my ipod on my laptop?

    I have two iPod shuffle 2nd gen, neither is working on any of my mac's, I have 10.6.1 on two of the
    computers along with the latest version of iTunes ver 9 (70) I had the same issue with 10.5.8 and the
    last version of iTunes. I've reset both with the "iPod reset utility". It takes forever to mount the shuffle
    in iTunes, when it does show and I try to copy anything to the iPod shuffle it fails! It's interesting that
    this seems to have happen around the same time that the 3rd generation iPod shuffle came onto the
    market, I smell a rip-off, yes Steve are you listening (possibly NOT!) Any how I've very disappointed with
    Apple as this is an issue and they seem to don't really care, they just won't you to purchase more
    STUFF, well I still have my iPod touch and iPod classic, once they die or Apple decides to mess up
    the software then I'll possibly look else where.

  • ITunes won't launch after downloading iTunes 7.1.1

    While downloading iTunes 7.1.1, I received an error but the process continued. Unfortunately, now every time I try to launch iTunes, it comes up momentary... then shows a message... "Updating iTunes library"... then locks up. It's happened 20+ times and I have restarted my computer 10+ times trying different ways to help the problem. Nothing is working... anyone know how I can fix this problem?

  • Ipod shuffle no longer works after 10.7.5 upgrade!

    I have the late 2009 iPod (Product) Red Shuffle 2 GB, always worked fine but after the Mountain Lion (10.7.5) upgrade it does not show up in iTunes.
    Yes I have the latest iTunes and latest everything. I've already tried unplugging it and resetting the actual iPod. All the USB hubs should be fine I don't
    even have all of them filled except for 1 that goes to the printer so I don't understand WHY it won't connect and show. It apparently is charging but I cannot
    edit the songs on this iPod anymore. Any advice?
    Thanks

  • My ipod touch won't work after software update.

    Last month I downloaded a software update for my iPod Touch and afterwards it wouldn't work or connect to my PC. It just showed a picture of the USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.
    I fixed the problem by plugging the iPod into my other PC - where it connected no problem - and I Restored it. I then plugged it back into the first PC and re-synchronized it there. It worked fine after that.
    I just downloaded a software update for iTunes and the iPod Touch, and I have the same problem. I know that I can go through the same time-consuming solution as last time but how do I fix this so that it doesn't keep happening?
    My PC does seem to recognise the iPod as a camera when it connects. Could that be it? Help please.

    Have you tried everything here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    It is normal/expected for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera.  It would only be a possible problem if you installed a program such as for a camera or scanner.

  • MY IPOD SHUFFLE WON'T WORK!!!!!! (2nd generation)

    Last night I accidentally dropped my ipod into the toilet. I immediately took it out and dried it. I even dried the little hole for the head phones. Now I know that it did stay in the water but shouldn't it work just a little? What do I do and does my warranty cover this? Can I get this repaired for cheap?

    If after trying the possible to fix the shuffle it doesn't work, you may want to contact your homeowners insurance and see if they cover such accidents. That's more likely to than an AppleCare claim. But small claims often result in increased deductables if not completely being cut off from insurance. So ask them first if it is covered. In addition, if you purchased the shuffle with a credit card, sometimes credit card companies offer their own insurance. Don't mistake a warranty for insurance. It is not. I'm not speculating as to Apple's policy here, which would be a violation of terms, I'm just stating how warranties usually work. I would not attempt to pass it off as anything else. The more people try to do that, the more our AppleCare is going to cost everyone, if not in monetary cost, in time to get iPods repaired. No one ever claimed the machine was waterproof. It is sad that such damage happens, but it does.
    I think it best to consider in the future once you do get it repaired or repalced to not ever take it in the bathroom with you again, unless it is already inside some bag that has the zipper securely zipped. These accidents can happen, and do. I've heard about it happening several times on this board.
    Good luck.

  • Ipod Touch won't sync after updating iTunes

    I updated my iTunes and now my ipod touch will not sync, it says that the ipod is synced with another iTunes library when it is not, is there a way to get it to sync?

    With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
    - Make a backup in iTunes by:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
    Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

  • Youtube HD won't work after downloading the latest version of Flashplayer (11.9.900.117)

    I have a windows Vista, system: 32 bit, and I downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player (11.9.900.117)
    But since I did this I can no longer watch youtube vids on HD with internet explorer.
    They open with a low quality like 360 and when I want to put them on HD the vid just stops working, however if I go to watch on google chrome it will work normal, why is this?

    Chrome has its own Flash Player Plugin ("PepperFlash"). It works independent of the ActiveX Flash Player Plugin in IE.
    See:ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make sure that ActiveX controls aren't blocking ANY feature that Flash Player can access.
    If that fails, I'd recommend moving to Firefox, as Chrome is an extreme rexource hog and will eventually grind your system to a halt if you get enough tabs open.

  • IPhoto won't work after downloading OS X Yosemite

    I downloaded the OS X Yosemite when my computer told me that it was available.  Now, when I try to open iPhoto, it tells me that first it needs to be prepared.  I've followed the steps time and time again on downloading the iPhoto and it tells me that it was downloaded successfully but still will not open.  I've tried restarting my computer, re-downloading.  Any help woul

    What version of iPhoto did you have prior to upgrading to Yosemite?  If it was iPhoto 7 (08) then you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before iPhoto 9.6 can open it.  You did upgrade to iPhoto 9.6, right?
    If you've already done the above try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
