I wasted a lot of time this morning fixing a problem with my generation 4 iPod shuffle. Apple's error message is pretty unhelpful:
"The iPod PIG'S SHUFF cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified."
Here is my solution:
In Windows Vista (with iPod attached to computer) go to Start | Computer | Right-Click on iPod shuffle drive | Properties | Tools | Error Checking
Select both check boxes "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and select the start button.
Problem solved.
