iPod Shuffle green/yellow flashing APPLE READ THIS AND POST IT!!!

This was posted by ipod user pcgoddess and this is the only way I got my ipod shuffle to work. It would not play it would just blink green and orange. Apple couldn't even put up a solution on their own website. If I were Apple I would be embarrassed.


"After searching high and low, I found a solution in another chat area. It takes a few minutes, but it works.

Place the Shuffle in your PCs USB.

A dialog box may pop up. Do not click it.

Do not click any dialog which pops up asking if you want to put songs from this pc onto this ipod, deleting the old ones.

Click edit, preferences, then select the "ipod" tab.

Check the box "enable disk use".

Move the slider to the right so that it is set to more data (maximum), and 0 songs.

Click ok.

Right click your start button and select "Explore".

Navitage to My Computer, and then seek the drive which represents the shuffle.

Right click the drive and select format.

Leave the options as they are.

Click Start.

After formatting, click eject ipod (icon in the bottom right of the itunes window).

Remove the shuffle.

Re-insert the shuffle. "
