iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0 for Mac

Finally, I had to return 3 shuffles because of that problem.. maybe this will fix the next one that inevitably takes a dive.

This worked perfectly!

For about four months now I had my daughter's dead 1gig shuffle next to my monitor, wayting for something like this to come out. Today we have functional Shuffle again! thank you for the tip!

wow! my dead ipod shuffle back to life....
why it take so long for apple to release the fix....!@
luckily i don't throw away the ipod shuffle...

I work in an Apple Centre in Australia, and we'd gotten to the extent of booking in any iPod shuffle that came in the door, just because iTunes did nothing. Thanks for the post.

funny i had this very problem and restored my ipod via itunes and this resolved it. nice to know the issue is out there and has been fixed

Unbelievable!! Thanks! I spent about 6 hours last week downloading various windows Fdisk utils, OS X disk utils and basically anything I could think of that might get the drive to be recognizable as a disk again. Called Applecare and they told me the same as "presodent" ... use it to buy a new one.

Ya!! I have my shuffle back! Still the best sounding iPod ever.

awesome! i brought my shuffle to the genius bar last month and they couldn't help me at all since it was completely dead in their eyes and because it was purchased more than a year ago. they told me i could use it as a 10% discount on my purchase of a new ipod. now it works again! thanks for the tip!

I just submitted yesterday a support ticket to Apple for this issue, and they're sending me a replacement, when they very well might not have to. Hey, it worked, although I ended up having to reinstall iTunes before it recognized either the Shuffle or the 4G 20gig.

Worked great for my dead shuffle as well.

Wow, it brought my Shuffle back to life on the first try. I had thrown it in a drawer months ago and given it up as dead after trying everything recommended by Apple's Support site. Nice!
