Problems with iPod Shuffle: nobody sees it after format

I have a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle, and it worked alright for a month.
However, I noticed an empty 0 bytes mp3 file I could not delete with either Windows or iTunes, and decided to format the device. Being foolish enough to do so, I formatted it via Windows to FAT, and then it synchronized with iTunes library OK (I did not reset or restore it with iTunes) But after I copied some music (about 600Mb) there and disconnected it from my PC, it wouldn't work.
The green light near the on/off button is on, but the light on the other side is not glowing.
I tried to connect it to my PC again, but neither iTunes (version 7.0.2, however I doubt it matters) nor Windows XP sees it. I downloaded the iPod Reset Utility, but it doesnt see the iPod either.
I don't know what to do to bring it to life again.

I have similar problems. I formatted mine under FAT32 with Windows' disk management mmc. Then i restored it with ipod shuffle's restore utility. after that I plugged it back in, itunes recognized a new ipod, prompted me for a new name with an option for "autofill".
I first unchecked autofill, and tried to manually drag files over to my shuffle, but it fails to complete the sync process. then I tried changing its options under itune's Settings panel for my shuffle, it fails to sync too.
so then i reformatted it in FAT32, restored it with the utility program. i opened itunes, typed in a new ipod name and CHECKED autofill. this time it completes the autofill on its first recognition phase, i could even listen to the song after i disconnected it from my PC. but when i reconnect it again, itunes can't sync with my ipod just as the previous try.
I also tried enabling Disc Mode, but unfortunately my itunes is unable to sync with ipod, so the option was never enabled...
Please Help!

Connection problem with iPod Shuffle 4th Gen.

Hello, I have problem with my iPod Shuffle 4th gen. One day i tried as always to turn it on and listen music but i heard only short "info" sound and saw short green diode impulse and nothing else. My computer (windows 7) also can't find it, after plugging it on, ipod's red diode turns on for 5 sec. Any suggestions?

Yes ... pay attention to how and where you clip the shuffle. Moisture can enter the controls if in contact with damp surface, OR can enter through the earphone jack along the earphone wire... positioning the shuffle such that the earphone socket is down will prevent the latter.
I recently discovered that the mode switch on my shuffle is very sensitive and will change from play-in-order to shuffle with a tiny positional movement. Interestingly, that resulted in behavior that, on the surface looked like the shuffle just quit! I normally listen to to audiobooks and other spoken material which are set to NOT be shffled... however , I forgot to set ONE 1/2 hour radio show to not shuffle. When I accidentally nudged the mode switch, the shuffle switched to playing that show. Trying to get bact to the audiobook I had been playing by multiple << presses confused the issue totally since the shuffle now displayed absolutely no indication of the button presses...it behaved as if it were dead! Turning it off and on didn't help either. Since it was dark, I couldn't see that the mode switch was slightly out of its normal play-in-order position, either. I put the shuffle away and soldiered on listening to a different audiobook on my nano.

Problem with iPod Shuffle 2nd generation

Hi,
Today I tried to start my iPod shuffle 2nd generation, but it didn't show up in iTunes. I didn't use my iPod for a long time, however I tried to listen to music and everything was just fine. Only when I tried to sync. with iTunes it didn't show up. I followed all the instructions on Apple.com such as reset the iPod, load the battery to full, restart my computer, but nothing worked. I do have the newest version of iTunes.
I have the newest iMac, running with bootcamp Windows 7. This must not be a problem, because I also sync. my iPod 3rd generation just before trying to sync. my iPod 2nd generation and the iPod 3rd generation worked just fine.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to get my iPod 2nd generation to show up in iTunes again??
Thanks a lot!

Thanks, that was just it. I used my 3G iPod shuffle connection cable to sync. with my 2G iPod shuffle. Strange that it is impossible to connect the same product, while it is possible to connect the iPhone with older connection cables to iTunes without any problems.
Also strange that I couldn´t find any information about this on the Apple website. Thanks anyway!

Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.

Sound problem with iPod Shuffle

Well, I have a problem with my iPod Shuffle. My Shuffle is about 11months old and I have not had any big problems with it but now I have.
When I'm listening to my music on my Shuffle, I do not hear any sound from my right earphone unless I press down the connecting part of the earphones (I meen the part that goes in to the iPod, don't know the name). So is there anybody that has the same problem and should I send it to the support?

Hi! I have the EXACT same problem with my iPod shuffle! (Except that it is in the LEFT ear and not the RIGHT.) I used to be able to fix it by pressing on the plug thing, but now no matter what I do it still doesn't work. (I've had mine for about, 9 1/2 months.) I'm trying right now to figure out what I want to do with it (whether I'm going to send it in or not), because I also have a purchased warranty from Futureshop, where I bought it... so if you get anymore info about this problem, let me know!

ITunes Version 11.0.0.163 problem with iPod Shuffle

I downloaded iTunes V11.0.0.163 and can't figure out how to copy purchased songs onto my suffle. I've had no problem with previous versions. Can someone tell me how? Copy and paste, drag and drop don't work anymore. In trying it changed the name of the target playlist to the name of the alblum with the song title appended to it but didn't add the song. I'd restore and rebuild the shuffle but am afraid I won't be able to add music to it.

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

Podcast problem with ipod shuffle

I have several podcast in my ipod shuffle but i can only listen to the first one, the others won't play. What is the problem?

On the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle, podcasts are treated as playlists. The episodes of a particular podcast are like songs on a playlist. You access them using the shuffle's playlist menu, using the VoiceOver feature. This document describes how to enable and use VoiceOver on a shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
Each podcast is its own playlist. So, if you have one episode each from different podcast, each podcast selection from the VoiceOver playlist menu will only play one episode. That may be what you are describing.
If you want to play episodes from different podcasts consecutively (without going back to the VoiceOver playlist menu to select the next one), you should create a new (regular) playlist in your iTunes library. Add the podcast episodes that you want on the shuffle to that playlist, and put the episodes in any desired order. Sync this playlist to the shuffle by selecting it on the shuffle's Podcasts screen in iTunes, where it says Include Episodes from Playlists. If you don't understand what I mean by this, please post back.
When you play the shuffle, set its power switch to the play-in-oder (middle) position. Use VoiceOver to select the playlist (not the podcast) from the playlist menu. The podcast episodes will play in the playlist order that you set up in iTunes.

TS1363 I have an ipod shuffle, 7yrs old. Says I have an error and to re-install. Then it tells me, this file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I cannot find any newer version and don't recall downloading it anyway.

Told to re-install itunes. When I do, it tells me "This file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." Therefore I can't re-install! Can't seem to find a way to get itunes back. This is a 8 yr old ipod shuffle...

The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
As long as your computer supports it, the latest iTunes will work with all shuffle models, back the first one.
Just one thing. The latest iTunes hides the sidebar, which can be confusing for long-time users. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.

I've had several problems with pdfs not viewing correctly in ff-- how can we fix it?

on two seperate occasions, pdfs are rendering completely wrong within firefox (fine in other browsers and when the mozilla pdf is disabled).
in the first one, the color rendering is completely wrong. the background is navy blue and showing up as bright pink- http://imgur.com/J2se8rs
in the second instance, the content is pushed to the right and their is a white bar on the left. http://imgur.com/k8WruXA
we dont want users to have a bad experience viewing our pdf's so please advise if there is anyway i can troubleshoot.

that solution will just fix the problem for me-- i want to fix the problem globally. we are sending this link to clients and it looks like we messed up making the pdf. is there anyway we can fix the pdf so no one using ff gets this bad looking pdf?

You probably installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:

Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Problems with iPod Nano 2G after a rainy day

Yep comrades, sh*t happens.
Today it was a very rainy day and a friend of mine was cycling to the school comfortably with his iPod Nano.
<skip>
After coming to school, his iPod goes on but the display is completely white (background lights going perfectly) and it doesn't play the music.
Switching the iPod to PC bring the lil' nano not to its life back.
please help, my friend loves his nano 2g

I assume you're saying your friend's iPod got wet during his rainy day cycling. Assuming the problem is due to water damage your friend can try letting it "dry" for several days without turning it on then seeing if they have any success. Also try going through the 5 R's. If it is indeed water damage then it's not covered under warranty, in which case your friend would either have to go through 3rd party means to see if it can be repaired or purchase a new iPod.

Problems with the canon xf plugin for fcp 7 Can't log and transfer mxf files.

Hi
I can't log & transfer mxf files from a c300 camera in FCP 7 even though I installed the xf plugin.
When I looked at canon's website this link comes up but it doesn't work.
http://usa.canon.com/nw3s/CanonUSA/DownloadContents/English/0200206002EN.htm
Any suggestions?
Or other plugins that might work?
Thanks,
James

Hello jameskendi,
The most obvious reason we can tell as to why this may not work properly is the version of FCP you are using. You mention using FCP 7, although the plugin is specifically for FCP X. This is why you're having such difficulty. If possible, we'd recommend using an updated computer and or software to process these files.
