iPod Reset Utility now supports 2nd gen Shuffles
It was only a few days ago that I had occasion to use the original iPod Shuffle Reset utility, rescuing a colleague's first-gen "Wrigley's" model Shuffle from a fugue state. Now the second-gen "tieclip" Shuffles can also be brought back from the brink: on Thursday, Apple released iPod Reset Utility 1.0 for both OS X and Windows XP/2000. This tool will force-initialize a Shuffle that doesn't respond to the usual 5 R's diagnostic. If you've got a stalled Shuffle, try this out and let us know how it goes.
