This from Apple "If iPod shuffle has an error, the front status light will blink orange and green when you press any button. If you see this, try turning off iPod shuffle, waiting a few seconds, and then turning it back on. If you still see the front status light blink orange and green, it could indicate that you have no songs on your iPod shuffle to play. Use iTunes to add songs to iPod shuffle and make sure the songs you are adding are compatible.
If you still see a blinking orange and green light, use iTunes to Restore iPod shuffle, and then use iTunes to add songs. If you still see orange and green, your iPod shuffle may need service."
It seems that the Mac solution to this is to:
1. as with the PC go to your ipod setttings and enable disk use
2. Quit Itunes and open Disk utility
3. Click on your ipod and reformat(from the ERASE tab) to FAT32
4. Open up itunes and restore the ipod
and the PC is to use windows explorer to format the Ipod. Format as FAT and then afterwards start Itunes and use the reseting feature.
Hope this helps.

You will get flashing green and amber lights if you try to play Audio-Podcasts and you have the switch set to "shuffle". The switch must be set to the position: "play in order".

Ha! I just found an old shuffle and I put some podcasts on it and I had this problem! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have been trying to figure out how to get my iPod working for weeks - I even bought another one and after having the same problem right away, tried doing some more research, and found this answer. Now I have two functional iPods :)
(I created an account for this website just to reply to this thread because of how grateful I am!)
if i restore my ipod, "the ipod could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1442)". can i fix it?

sipay, it works better if you ask your own question. Click on the link on the right side of this page "Ask a question" and give as much detail as possible. Right now it looks like you are answering an old question. Good Luck
