Does your IPod Shuffle still work as a music player?

I think you'll need to format it as FAT32 and only on windowsXP.

Thanks Seun, i never use it as a music player.av got a 128 mb player i use(i am not tht much a music freak.@demmy, please how do i go about that?.

Since you know how to use DOS command prompt, then type

format [drive-letter]: /fs:fat32 /q

[drive-letter] = D or E or whatever your Ipod's drive letter is without the bracket of course
q= quick format

@ demmy, thanks for your assistance. i tried the code u gave me in DOS command promt and it showed me this:, check the picture i attached. will give u a clear meaning of what i meant. please do give me more solutions

My bad. I didn't pay attention to that RAW in your original post. Well it means you have to partition the Ipod's disk first.

Just go to Administrative Tools [by right clicking My Computer]---> Disk Management
(or Click Start > Run and type diskmgmt.msc) and partition the disk; then format.

@demmy, that was a perfect solution. thankz a lot. i really appreciate it.one more thing, there is always a messenger service box that pops up on my screen every now and then.its always telling me av got virus, of whivch i scanned my laptop again and again.i later discover that its some form of advert. i tried internet options to block pop ups but i cant get thru with it. i dont want to use an external pop up blocker coz it affects my laptop.what do u think??

Well I am assuming you're using IE so only one advice I have on that one: Jettision it. Get firefox. Download it without delay; then get the Adblock extension and goodbye to unwanted ads.

Hi, I have a problem too with my IPOD Shuffle, basically the same problem , but I can`t format it, I tried with command prompt but nothing, and when I go th Disk Management it doesn't apear my Ipod, neither in iTunes, I don`t know what to do , Please someone , HELP ME

I had a similar problem. I was unable to format my iPod Shuffle under Win2k. I tried command line, exploder and diskmgmt.msc. They all reported that the format failed.

I saw some stuff on the net about using WinXP so I took my iPod to work and formatted under WinXP exploder and it worked.

Good Luck,

Have you updated your shuffle software on Itunes?

where in NIgeria can i get Origina IPOD Nano 1gb? or 2gb. most of the one am seeing around are fake

yes i have updated it
it is updated with 1.0.4 firmware
i had been able to listen to songs before the firmware update
is there a way to rollback the firmware on my ipod?
thanx

Restore shuffle to factory settings. Add songs again. Make sure itunes converts all the songs to formats that go with it as in make sure none of the songs have *wma extentions.

you this stingy pple. Get a real ipod.

pls i need to format my i-pod. its not playing the songs i got from i-tunes. there r some files there. though am not too good with the computing terms. i just need to get rid of some files in the i-pod.

there is this IHC file and ALI files in the i-pod wen i accessed it through my p.c and they both cant delete

i formatted my ipod to fat32 using windows explorer
i think that is the problem
please help
thanx

Just to share an expirience:
I found a way to download YouTube videos. Some of are web sites where you put the url from YouTube and it gives you file with strange extension and small size. Some are really complicated.
My way was to use moviesherlock (moviesherlock.com or sm like this - please ask me - will rememeber). Really simple utility, that just works, and only 1 button in software.
I downloaded it from here: http://download.cnet.com/3001-2140_4-75065920.html?spi=68a87b0bad1ea20e12285c5005469cde.
I downloaded even HD movies!

But it looks too simple, has no player, but just works. It downloaded ~12 concurrent movies for me and actually slows down my system. Its possible to do search in moviesherlock and search results differs from what you see in YouTube. Thats strange.
Who knows - youTube results are different for same keyword? I loves cat (Simons cat / dog).
Why doesn't youtube allows to download its movies without external tools?!! It actually sucks!

Thanks in advance!

i have same problem with my ipod shows o bytes and 0 space, it doesnt even format shows "error in IOCTL CALL " AND WHEN I OPEN DISK MANGEMENT IN RUN , IT SHOWS DISC IS UNREADABLE, WHAT TO DO? IT DOESNT GET FORMATED NOR RESTORED, ITS JUST A PAPER WEIGHT FOR ME !! HELP !!
