Apple's iPod updater for Shuffle issues
The utility fixes Shuffles only recognized on Macs in Apple System Profiler under USB Hardware that fail to appear or mount in the Finder, and ensures the iPod is recognized when attempting to restore the software. iPod shuffles that fail during the restore process with errors such as "Firmware update failure. Disk write error" are also repaired, according to the company, even if they take several minutes to be recognized.
The iPod shuffle Reset Utility also fixes an issue where the iPod appears in My Computer on Windows systems as a "Removable Disk," but fails to mount correctly. The utility requires an admin user password, and does not require users to restore the Shuffle a second time after using the iPod shuffle Reset Utility. Apple notes that any iPod shuffle that cannot be restored with the new utility may need service.
