Cannot format ipod shuffel

If you are using the usb cable that apple supplied take it out of the usb port it is in and try another usb port.

you can't .... If you want to use the ipod to play music through a stereo system you will need a 3.5 mm audio jack and use this to connect.. but the shuffle will not hook up to a universal dock made for regular ipods

Being an Apple product, the only way to upload music onto your ipod is exclusively through Apple's software: iTunes. Go to www.apple.com, and download and install iTunes. After this, upload your music into the iTunes library. Then, click and drag the songs you want onto your ipod in the right hand side of itunes.

heres what you gonna do

1. you should have an ITUNES installed on your computer and if you dont have download it on their website.
2. everytime you plug your ipod it will be recognizable.
3. look for a song or music file that you like and make a playlist.
4. plug your ipod and it should recognizable with itunes.
5. drag a file from a music folder to the itunes
6. then when its there on the itunes use the add to playlist locating your ipod. by the way if you didnt use ITUNES for dragging music then it wont play on your IPOD.

hope that helps!

my friend had a similar problem... he was adviced to format using MAC... and it worked for him.....

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.

Forget the itune software. Download everything free via bittorrent and put it on your player using windows explorer.

Have you got itunes? You can only delete songs by acessing the songs throigh itunes. Good Luck!
