Apple has just released a small update of its utility for reinitializing the iPod shuffle (version 1.0.3 3.6 MB) by default with iTunes. This restores the factory parameters for the 1st and 2nd generation models.
About iPod Reset Utility 1.0.3 for Mac
Use iPod Reset Utility to restore the following iPod models back to their factory settings, when iTunes is unable to do so:
