iPod Reset Utility 1.0.3 for iPod shuffle is available
Even iPods get the blues.Earlier today, Apple released iPod Reset Utility 1.03 for the iPod shuffle. It's meant to be used with both a 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffle when iTunes is unable to restore it to factory settings. Note that this sucker wipes your iPod clean -- all music, photos, etc. will be cleared away, so make sure you've got backups in place. You can read all the details here.

I tried this utility to un-(brick?)/stub? my ipod shuffle 1st gen. but on the first attempt, it said the recovery failed. and on the second try, the Resetting ipod(Recovery mode) - do not disconnect message just stays there indefinitely. I don't think anything's happening.

Great! This resurrected my iPod shuffle from the dead. After over 3 years!
