If you need to update or restore an iPod shuffle, refer to Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings.BackgroundFirst, it is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore.""Update" simply updates the software that controls iPod and does not affect the songs and files stored on iPod."Restore" erases the iPod and restores it to its original factory condition. Because restoring iPod erases all of the songs, videos, photos, and files on iPod, make sure to back up your files first.
