When I plug in my ipod shuffle(early model) the songs do not appear on play list. Play list shown is wrong.Any ideas?

When I plug in my ipod shuffle { early model } the play list that appears does not show what is actually on my ipod. Some I had deleted before and some songs that I have never had on my ipod. appear on the list I do not knw via the computer what is actually on my ipod. Any suggestions. Why cany itunes leave things alone. If it aint broke dont mend it. This has only happened since I down loaded the latest itunes.

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

Hey harley4550,
It sounds like you're trying to restore your shuffle to factory settings. You can actually use iTunes to do so, the following article goes over how:

I reset my ipod shuffle gen 2 successfully but it still isn't recognized by itunes

I downloaded iPod Reset Utility and according to the app, my iPod shuffle was reset successfully. However, it still isn't showing up in my finder and iTunes says it can't recognize the ipod until it is reset. Also, the lights don't go on. Battery dead/needing replacement? Can it be reset without a functioning battery?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

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.

How to reset a iPod shuffle 2nd Gen

How can I reset my 2nd Gen shuffle, as I was out running and it just stopped working. Thought it was needing charging however, it won't charge at all,,,,,, Dead!!! Any advice??

A hard reset or a complete reset to factory settings? To do a hard reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To completely reset the iPod to factory settings, head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Erase all Content and Settings.

IPod Shuffle - early battery burnout (anybody else?)

I've had my clip-on Shuffle for less than 6 months. As of a few days ago, it would no longer hold a charge. The amber light flickers when I connect it to a power source, but hours later it will not power up.
Is this a common problem, or am I just unlucky?
Thanks.

Same thing happened to my daughter's iPod Shuffle
(orange).
Worked GREAT for two months...now it's not charging.
Batteries on these things suck. I'm taking it back to
the Apple Store to see if they'll replace the whole
darn thing....
IF you tell them that you're running 10.2.x, they're going to recommend that you upgrade to 10.3.9, or later to be able to charge and use your 2nd Gen Shuffle. They may NOT be willing to give you a replacement Shuffle just to have you come in again with the same complaint.
Here are the requirements from page 25 of your very fine manual:
To use iPod shuffle, you must have:
One of the following computer configurations:
A Macintosh with a USB port (USB 2.0 recommended)
A Windows PC with a USB port or a USB card installed (USB 2.0 recommended)
One of the following operating systems:
Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later,
Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Internet access (a broadband connection is recommended)
iTunes 7.0.2 or later (iTunes can be downloaded from www.apple.com/ipod/start)

Can i use dr.dre tour for my ipod shuffle 3rd model?

Pls let me know~ thanks yall

The product page only mentions the Mic
http://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-tour/beats-beatstour,default,pd.html
Which of course does nothing for the 3rd gen shuffle, you need an ear bud that has a "remote" built in specifically for the 3rd gen shuffle or newer, you'll want to double check the compatbility since not all "remotes" are compatible with the 3rd gen shuffle, for example Apple's EarPods are not compatible.

Use the "restore" option in the Settings tab in iTunes...

If you are referring to VoiceOver, then yes. Here are more details on VoiceOver and how to use it.

My iPod Shuffle 1st or 2nd generation is not recognized in iTunes

We have had this iPod Shuffle since Aug 2008 I believe but only recently started using it. It was working fine, but when connected to the docking station, I see the status light blick orange 3 times. No recognition in iTunes. I have restarted my computer, restarted the iPod, disconnected from the docking station and turned off and turned back on. It seems to be getting a charge as the light turns green when you turn it on. We did just get a new iPod a week ago and I don't know if that is some how confusing something. My 5yr old is not understanding why I can't put different music on for him to dance to If you can provide any help, I would appreciate it!! I have a MacBook Pro and I am assuming since my iPhone charges and other iPods, it is just an issue with this earlier shuffle and not my USB ports

Hello Jane Benstock,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.
All the best,
Sterling
