I have just bought a 1GB shuffle at the Apple Store Bluewater today. Problem is that when I fill it with songs it loads up anywhere between 10 & 50 songs then freezes itunes, the beach ball just spins forever. The application refuses to force quit and the ipod will not eject from the desk top. What can I do when this happens? I tried pulling the shuffle out of the mac which then stalls the whole machine it just locks up and will not do anything. So then the only option is to manually shut down and restart. I tried loading songs three times and each time the same thing. Thinking the ipod was duff I tried filling it on my parents PC and it filled up no issues so I am assuming it is ok. Can anyone shed any light on this?
