Resetting iPods:
I'm not certain, exactly, how to reset any other iPod, except the 1st
and 2nd generation shuffles, although I'm sure there is a way to do
so. Best thing I can suggest is checking the documentation which came
with your particular iPod.
If you have either a 1st (512 GB & 1 GB gumpack), or 2nd (smaller 1GB
& 2GB (these have no USB port)) generation iPod Shuffle, then you need
to download the Apple iPod Reset Utility V. 1.0.2. NOTE: This
utility will *ONLY* work with 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffles -
no other iPods!!!
When you launch this utility, you'll see the name of your iPod, its
serial number, the percentage of space used, the actual space used,
the free space, and the current software version. There'll also be a
"Reset" button. Press it, and your unit will be "hardware reset", all
the data on the iPod will be erased, and the latest iPod software
version will be installed into it.
This should do the trick, and your iPod should live again! If it
doesn't, its time for your iPod to see the Doc! <grin!>
Uploading Playlist to iPod:
This is pretty simple, really.
1. Navigate to the desired playlist, in the "Sources List".
2. Navigate to the "Songs List", use VO-Shift-Down Arrow, to interact
with it.
3. Use Command-A (Select all), to select every item in your playlist.
4. Now, use VO-Shift-M (VO's Contextual Menu Items, I.e. "Right-
Click" command), to bring up the contextual menu.
5. Use VO-Down Arrow, to navigate to the menu item, "Add To
Playlist", VO-Right arrow, to open the sub-menu, then, VO-Down arrow,
again, till you reach the name of your iPod.
6. Now, select the iPod, using VO-Space.
At this point, assuming I haven't steered you wrong, music should
begin downloading to your iPod! Allow the process to finish, and you
should be good to go! To verify you have the correct music in the
iPod, simply navigate to it, in the "Sources List", then stop
interacting with the list, navigate to the "Songs List", interact with
it, and see what you have there.

Hi, list. I’ve created a playlist which I would like to have as the
only music on my ipod. I know this is easy, but for some reason I
can’t seem to figure it out. Could anyone help?
Also, in a related story, my ipod seems to have crashed and I cannot
restore it from the itunes screen. Isn’t there a way to reset an
ipod from the actual ipod itself?
Thanks much for the help.
