hi, if your ipod is a first gen one(it will be white), than try visiting, apple.com. search for the ipod shuffle reset utility, when you find it, youll need to download it. plug your ipod in and run it. then install itunes 7 and it should work
mine worked, but then i found out the battery in it had died
