iPod shuffle Software Update and Restore
Apple periodically updates iPod shuffle software to improve performance or add 
features. It is recommended that you update your iPod shuffle to use the latest 
software.
You can choose either to update or to restore the iPod shuffle software. 
• If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not 
affected. 
• If you choose to restore, all songs and data are erased from your iPod shuffle. All 
iPod shuffle settings are restored to their original state.
To update or restore iPod shuffle with the latest software:
1
Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update 
has the latest software for all models of iPod.
2
Double-click the software install file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the 
iPod shuffle Update.
3
Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application 
opens.
If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open 
automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.
4
Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod shuffle software.
If you use the iPod Updater application and it doesn’t see that iPod shuffle is 
connected to your computer, turn iPod shuffle off and turn it on again.
