I just plugged in my new iPod shuffle that arrived in the mail today. I put the dock in to my computer and it says "Disk Insertion Error. The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer," with options to initialize, ignore, and eject.
When I try and initialize it (opens Disk Utility), I get a "select drive" (from 1g apple ipod, mac hd, or external hd). When I select the new iPod, I can either Verify Disk or Repair Disk.
When I try to verify disk, I get a warning saying "First Aid failed." Disk Utility stopped verifying "disks2si" because the following error was encountered. The underlying task reported failure on exit," with the text in quotes below appearing in the main box.
When I try Repair Disk, I get the same "Disk Utility stopped repairing "disks2si" because the following error was encountered. The underlying task reported failure on exit," with the text in quotes below appearing in the main box.
BTW, when I plug it in the shuffle just flashes the orange light, no matter how long I let it stand. It never charges.
Anyone? I have no clue what to do. I'm guessing this has something to do with my DVD problem, which went unsolved in this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/246418/
I'd really appreciate some help. I still have my Mac OS X disk, so how would I go about reinstalling just the stuff which is broken? (if that needs to occur).
I have 93.04 GB of stuff on my Mac HD, but only 6 GB left on my external HD... so I can't just back everything up on there (at least I don't think).
Obviously i'm not too fluent with macs and all that stuff, so please help?

MODS: I posted this in the Mac Help forum in addition to the iPod forum to get more help. I believe the post in this forum was deleted, and for what reason I'm not sure. I'm not post spamming, just asking for help. If for some reason it is a neccessity that only one post can appear on this board, then please delete the iPod/iTunes post. That one still has zero replies.
