How to Reset iPod Shuffle on Windows 7 64 Bit

If you have an iPod shuffle that is not working properly, you may need to reset it using the iPod Reset Utility. This utility can restore the following iPod models back to their factory settings, when iTunes is unable to do so:

iPod shuffle (1st Generation)

iPod shuffle (2nd Generation)

The restore process completely erases all music and data on your iPod, and installs current iPod software on it. Before you use the iPod Reset Utility, make sure you have backed up any important files on your iPod.

However, the iPod Reset Utility is only available for 32-bit Windows systems. If you have a 64-bit Windows 7 system, you will not be able to run the utility. In this case, you have two options:

Use a different computer that has a 32-bit Windows system and iTunes installed. You can download the iPod Reset Utility from Apple Support [^1^] and follow the instructions to reset your iPod shuffle.

Use a virtual machine software that can run a 32-bit Windows system on your 64-bit Windows 7 system. For example, you can use VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Player. You will need to install iTunes and the iPod Reset Utility on the virtual machine, and connect your iPod shuffle to it. Then you can follow the same steps as above to reset your iPod shuffle.

Note that the iPod Reset Utility is only for First Generation and Second Generation iPod shuffle. Any other iPod models are not supported. If you are not sure which iPod model you have, see Apple Support article HT1353: Identifying iPod models.

If you have any questions or problems with resetting your iPod shuffle, you can contact Apple Support or visit their online community forum for more help.

Why You May Need to Reset Your iPod Shuffle

There are several reasons why you may need to reset your iPod shuffle using the iPod Reset Utility. Some of the common issues that can be fixed by resetting are:

Your iPod shuffle does not play any music, and the LEDs flash amber and green for a few seconds when you press the Play button.

Your iPod shuffle does not appear or mount in iTunes or My Computer, and is only recognized as a \"Removable Disk\" or \"Apple iPod USB Device\".

Your iPod shuffle fails to restore with an error message such as \"Firmware update failure. Disk write error\" or another error.

These issues may be caused by corrupted software or data on your iPod shuffle, or by a hardware malfunction. Resetting your iPod shuffle can erase the corrupted data and reinstall the latest software version, which may resolve the problem.

However, resetting your iPod shuffle is not a guarantee that it will work properly again. If the problem persists after resetting, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance or repair. 061ffe29dd
