Ipod Shuffle (2nd gen) can't connect to itunes

Hi guys,

I've just connected my ipod shuffle 2nd generation again (after a long time), but itunes gives an message that it can't read the ipod and suggests the restore utility.

So, I tried that, but it gives the following error:

ERROR

An error has occurred while restoring the iPod.

(had to translate it since it was in dutch, so excuse me for little differences)

I've reset it the usual way (off for 5sec) and tried to update itunes but it's up to date.

I'm running a macbook pro mid 2010 with mavericks.

My other ipod shuffle does restore but when getting it off the power source it won't go on so I suspect the battery's dead. (same model)

Nothing to do about that one, is it?

Thanks in advance!
