Posting a Question and iPod mini help needed

It's so frustrating to use this support site. I can't seem to find the right information.
I need help. My iPod mini just suddenly conked out on me. Now it flashes the apple then an icon with a battery and an exclamation point inside a triangle. I tried to search for an answer in this site but all I got was a suggestion to reset it. I tried re-setting it and IT DIDN'T WORK!
What do I do now? I really want to get this fixed as soon as possible. I happen to love my iPod. Please, please, someone help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, serangel.
Here is the support site for using iPod mini.
There are plenty of users there who will be happy to help.
Cheers!

  • Ipod Mini Help - Need Idiot's Guide to Set Up

    Help! I got an ipod mini for Xmas from my boyfriend. He loaded 500 songs onto my ipod from his ibook. However as we've split up I haven't really used it but I'm going travelling for a year (this weekend-nothing like being prepared...!) and would like to take it with me and set up play lists etc.
    I haven't even connected my ipod to my laptop as I've heard that when you connect to it/itunes that yr ipod contents can be wiped if you are already registered with another PC/Mac. So basically I don't know what order I have do stuff so that I can get some tunes I like rather than listening to ex-boyf's taste in music.
    Hope this makes sense - never posted on this before and am a bit of a technophobe.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe you want to manually sync your iPod. You might want to look at the following:

  • ITunes and iPod, serious help needed

    First of all I'm running OS X Tiger 10.4
    I just got my 5th gen. iPod video today, and I sync'd it and everything, the iPod works just fine.
    Although, everytime I plug it in, my iPod will be listed on the source list in the left of iTunes, it will take a few seconds to update, then my iPod icon will disappear from the Finder.
    If I then click anywhere besides "My iPod" in the iTunes source bar, like Library > Music or just a simple playlist, iTunes will unexpectedly quit. The Finder though does not give me a message saying that iTunes quit unexpectedly, it just happens. During all of this the iPod does NOT say "do not disconnect" as if it was updating.
    Help is greatly appreciated.

    I am not really sure as I have been playing it safe, sticking with OS 10.3.9 and iTunes version 6. Everything works, so I don't want to break it.

  • HT4623 I "updated" my iPhone4S 16gig this morning and can't get past the "Rescue Email" screen.  I entered emails as well as opted out.  I have gone back, but Apple ID Security insists I add security questions and mail.  HELP!

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • Do the files boilerplate.css and respond.min.js need to be in the root directory or can they be in a subdirectory such as css or js?

    Do the files boilerplate.css and respond.min.js need to be in the root directory or can they be in a subdirectory such as css or js?

    The short answer is 'Yes', they can be in any directory, as long as you have created the proper links so that the files can be found.

  • Trying to post my question and being denied, why?

    I had an incident happen on my MacBook Pro and needed help with it. I created my question and clicked POST. After I clicked POST nothing happened and it appeared my question did not post. I thought something went wrong with posting my MacBook Pro question. I checked my activity page and looked for my new entry and it was not listed. I went back and tried to post again. This time I was sent a pink banner that read "You are not allowed to create or update this content." At the bottom of my question box it said "Auto-saved" with the date and time listed. I am confused now. I have searched all over looking for my question. It's no where. What has happened to my posted question? Why am I being denied access to it?

    The Forum is haunted with glitches, you ran in to two. If you get the you can't post message first refresh the page if that doesn't work try a little later. If you get the message auto-saved versions etc,. tap recover or type a new question. If you find your question is in the wrong Forum reply to yourself and ask if someone will ask a host to relocate your post.

  • Frozen charging icon on Ipod mini - help!

    I've got an early-ish IPOD MINI, about a year old now, worked ok at first although battery life was never better than about 4 hours. First problem - after about 6 months or so - once turned off, would not turn on again without reset. However I lived with that. more recently, battery life now down to about 2 hours and I cannot download any new music onto the mini from Itunes. I can charge ipod up from wall charger direct Ok , but even when battery shows as fully charged, as soon as I connect up to computer via firewire, it starts to charge up and then the charging thunderbolt icon freezes ... from troubleshooting section, this appears to mean battery is too low for computer to 'talk' to the IPod. Although I have followed advice & left it connected (for Hours) this doesn't help.
    So _ i reckon battery is duff - sent it back to apple for repair within warranty period - but after three weeks they sent back standard letter - in FRENCH! - refusing a repair on grounds fault was down to my mis-use.this is possible as I have dropped it a few times - but also could be convenient excuse ..
    Lousy service, no indication of whether it could be repaired or not if I paid so can anyone tell me, is my only option now to buy a new one?
    If so I think my husband will probably divorce me on the grounds of insanity (ie i must need my head testing to spend more money on such an unreliable product) but i really love my ipod - don't want another type mp3 player.
    Has anyone any useful suggestions please??

    many thanks, might give them a try. Had a look at their website and seems to be £5.00 charge for diagnostic if turns out to be uneconomic to repair - which isn't too bad. Has anybody got any feedback from using these people for repairs - can't be worse than Apple!

  • Trying to post a question and receiving: You are not allowed to create or update this content

    I am a newbie and am trying to post a question to the support communities and received this reply:"You are not allowed to create or update this content"
    My question:
    Help! Not all my incoming mail messages are going to my home computer account. Some are derailed and end up in my inbox on my iphone only. My husband is waiting for a message to come through on the home computer and sometimes they end up on my iphone5 accounts. Yikes! He is not happy. Some messages come to my pc email and some only to my phone. But then, some come to both as they should. I need all mail to arrive at both home and on my iphone. I would so appreciate any help or advice given. Thank you!  Iphone 5c  IOS 7.1.2

    I'm not sure, but you might try this (instructions are from my 5s running iOS 7.1.2):
    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Find the account you're having the problem with
    Touch the arrow to the right of it, which will bring up a screen that has the account name, Mail and Notes
    Touch the account name. This brings up a settings screen for only that account.
    Go down to Advanced and touch that
    See what it says under Deleted Messages. If Remove is set to something really short, your iPhone might be deleting the messages before they have a chance to download onto another device.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Ipod library in ITunes freezes with Ipod Mini - HELP

    Hi!
    I have the folowing problem.
    When I connect my Ipod Mini, te ITunes recognizes the Ipod and shows me the content of it. However, I can't play any of its songs nor add other songs; everything related to the Ipod in the ITunes is frozen. Please note that I can hear the music outside the Ipod through ITunes. I have already tried the 5R`s but doesnt work.
    Please help!!
    Than you in advance!

    You have to pod set on "Auto Update" if you want to drag/drop and play songs on your PC from the pod, you have to set it to "Manual update" rightclick the pod in iTunes select "iPod Options" and here you can change it to that if you wish.
    If you do this tho you will have to manually eject it from the PC everytime
