iPod shuffle reset utility

Apple today released iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 for Mac to restore first-generation iPod shuffles. The restore process entirely erases all music and data on the iPod shuffle, reinstalling the software to version 1.1.5. The utility fixes several issues which include flashing amber and green LEDs after pressing the play button when the iPod is switched on, as well as a Mac's inability to recognize the iPod in Apple System Profiler with no way to mount the device in the Finder. The Reset Utility also fixes an issue where the first-generation iPod shuffle would not be recognized at all when attempting to restore, or when it fails to restore with an error dialog that reads 'Firmware update failure. Disk write error.' The iPod shuffle Reset Utility 1.0.1 is available for free from Apple, and requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later.
