Apple releases iPod Reset Utility 1.0.4 for Windows

Apple has released iPod Reset Utility 1.0.4 for Windows, the latest version of its iPod shuffle utility. The software can be used to restore both first- and second-generation iPod shuffle models back to factory settings when iTunes is unable to do so. Apple notes that the restore process completely erases all music and data on the iPod, and installs the latest iPod software on the device. iPod Reset Utility 1.0.4 for Windows is available now as a free 4.9MB download and requires Windows 2000 with SP4 or Windows XP with SP2.
