Why Won't My iPod Shuffle Reboot?

When I put in the installation CD it said I needed to format my iPod, so I did. Then it rebooted my iPod, and still hasn't stopped. It started last night.
This is the second time I've tried. The first time I stopped it after an hour, but this time it's been running almost 12 and still won't finish...
Please help!

I would recommend restoring your shuffle to the factory condition, and seeing if this helps. You can do this with the restore utility that can be downloaded from the apple website. I presume you have the older white "chewing gum" pack shaped white-colored shuffle rather than the new 2G Shuffle (square in shape; aluminium finish)?

  • Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
    There are some complaints,  that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why won't my iPod shuffle connect to itunes?

    I just bought the iPod Shuffle 4th Generation and downloaded iTunes onto my laptop today. The Shuffle won't connect to my iTunes or my computer properly.
    When I connected it to the computer (Windows 7), it said "unable to sync device" or something like that. I know it's not my USB ports because everything seems to work with it EXCEPT for the Shuffle. In iTunes, the Shuffle won't even show up in the devices. It's not my first time using iTunes. I used to have it on my old computer, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. In terms of the Shuffle itself, I turned it on and pressed play and it just keeps saying "please use iTunes to music onto this device"
    I already tried the troubleshooting guide, but that doesn't seem to work either ...

    If that error message says "unknown device" (it's not about syncing), the cause may be iTunes not being installed properly.  When iTunes is installed, it also installs drivers that allow Windows to recognize iPods.  You should try installing iTunes again.  You can download the latest iTunes installer here

    If that does not help, you may need to completely uninstall iTunes (and related components), then reinstall

    I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

    Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.....
    It sounds to me that you have a player problem or a disc problem and not a burn software problem.
    What players are involved - computer players (which ones) or DVD player standalone or attached to a TV or other?
    As for the DVD-R discs, I am not taking that out of the problem equation. If you take one of these DVD-R discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, do you find an OpenDVD Folder and a VIDEO_TS Folder? If so, if you open the VIDEO_TS Folder, can you find a VTS_01_1.VOB file and play it back on the computer
    If you do that same thing with one of the DVD-RW discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, what do you find?
    How long have you had the DVD-R discs in comparison to the DVD-RW discs? You mentioned that you did all this successfully a couple of years ago, and everything was the same then as now. Did you have these batches of discs then as opposed to now? Are the players the same then and now?
    Burn to Folder (4.7 GB) is always an option. But, I would like to see you have the opportunity of choice for to burn to disc or burn to folder.
    Looking forward to your results.
    Thanks.

    A new USB what? Cable? If the old one still works and the new one does not that would point to a bad new cable.

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

  • Why is my 4th ipod shuffle in six months still not working properly.?

    I purchased my ipode shuffle (4th gen) in June and have had to exchange it for a new one 3 times.  Why won't this product work?  Mac user for 15 years, losing faith quickly.

    That is definetely not the case, though. Like I stated above multiple times, I have made sure to be extra careful with each and every iPod Touch I've owned, the roughest thing I do with it is put it in my pocket (headphone facing upwards, not pushing down inside my pocket)
