Just purchased an iPod Shuffle 1st generation from Ebay.
Has been used on a PC with Microsoft.

Will not go to source on iTunes 7.03 just stays on the deck top as a white oblong display.

Have downloaded the latest patch from Apple.
Has had no effect.

Can anyone help

many thanks🙂
 
Can you reformat it in Disk Utility in the Utilities folder? Is iTunes already running when you plug the iPod in? 🙂
 
Have tried Disk utility but restore does not light up.
Suspect this may be a forgery unit.
Has blue light on front not green/amber and no shuffle switch on back just on/off.
 
Something sounds wrong with it. I've used several PC-formatted iPods on my Macs and have never run into an issue.

Using a Mac-formatted iPod on a PC, well that's a different story...
