Restoring iPod Shuffle to Factory Settings
iTunes reloads the iPod software with a fresh copy referred to as "factory settings". Here you will see how this restoration takes place.
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update simply installs the software that controls iPod shuffle and does not affect the songs and files. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition.
Warning: When you restore and iPod, everything on it (songs, pictures, movies, files, games, firmware, etc.) will be deleted. Hey! That means any stuff that's on the iPod, but not in the iTunes library, will be lost. After deleting everything, iTunes reloads the iPod software with a fresh copy (referred to as "factory settings").
Download and Install latest version of iTunes.
A progress bar will show you the status of the restore. When it's done, you'll see a message like "Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore." Now the iPod will show a progress bar. Do not disconnect during this part. When it's done, the iTunes Setup Assistant will prompt you to name and configure the iPod.
Important: At any point of time during restore, DO NOT disconnect your iPod from your computer.
