my brother plugged his 512mb shuffle into his computer, and the ipod was wiped clean. he left the ipod plugged in all night to charge it, and now it won't mount on the computer, and there is no battery power. we don't have a usb charger (all i have is a firewire wall charger), and i'm really confused. help?
Got a tip for us?

iPod ipod shuffle on xp problem

Is it recognised by iPod Software Updater? Sometimes this app has more luck than Explorer at finding hidden iPods. If it is recognised, I recommend restoring the firmware. 
i brought the shuffle to my place, have reset it an uncountable number of times, and it still won't do anything.
i'm getting a yellow light blinking when its plugged, and i left it plugged in for 5 hours. it won't mount, just blinks. any clues?

Do you mean you've restored it? If not, then I recommend plugging it in whilst iPod Software Updater is open because this app might have more luck than iTunes, Finder, Explorer et al. Otherwise, I guess all you can do is take it back to Apple.
i've tried to restore it. ipod updater sees that there is an ipod, but it doens't see what type, and the ipod doesn't mount.
its really strange.
