How long should and ipod Shuffle take to reformat?
Cassini

I have uninstalled all the software from one computer and and trying to reinstall it to another - however, before it will reinstall it says it needs to reformat the Shuffle.

I don;t mind too much but it has been reformating for an hour or so now.

There were about 80 songs on there if that helps.

I can hear the computer chuntering away in the background slowly and everything else seems fine. There;s even a green light on the Shuffle!

It shouldnt take that long to format it, whats it say on your computer? What software did you uninstall and are trying to re-install? Itunes?

Is it a new Ipod Shuffle that you just got?

When you connect an ipod to one computer then attatch it to another computer and try transfer songs, it will overwrite all the songs on the ipod with the ones on itunes on the new computer.

I think you should disconnect it, it should never take that long to reformat.

I have disconected it - appears the music on it has disappeared which was what I expected.

The iPod is not new. The computer is.

I have started a new thread as I have other questions and the title to this one is no longer relevenat.

thank you
