2nd Gen Mini (no HDMI) to Sony TV

I have a 2nd Gen Mini w/ no HDMI output that I'm using as a HTPC, an old Denon reciever w/out HDMI or Optical inputs.  I recently acquired a Sony KDL NX810 TV.
Currently, I run a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter cable from the Mini to the TV and the headphone jack to RCA plugs into the reciever.  However, I am getting a bit of lag on the sound - it's not quite in sync......
Should I run a mini DVI to VGA cable to from the mini to the TV and run the audio output directly to the TV and then audio out from the TV to the reciever?
Thanks!

I am having the same issue.
I have a Panasonic TH-50PX60U, and a Yamaha RX-V2065. The Mini is plugged into the Yamaha via HDMI and Yamaha to TV via HDMI.
Problem: Just to clarify I do NOT have a video problem. That part seems to be working fine, my problem is with audio. When ever I switch inputs on the receiver or turn the system off (not the Mini, that always stays on) the audio defaults back to the internal speaker in the Mini. I have to go into system settings and change it back to the HDMI audio out. This is super frustrating. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it's the only thread that looked like it might have an answer. Thanks!

  • Using 8 GB Flash Drive in 2nd gen mini

    I have a 2nd gen mini and recently the 4 GB hard drive died. I read that these can also use Flash Memory in place of the drive. I installed it using IFIXIT.COM's directions and everything worked out fine putting it back together but it still shows a folder with an exclamation point in the display and the Mini won't be seen by iTunes or any of the older updaters. Does the 8 GB Flash Drive require some kind of initialization prior to use? I had thought that iTunes would see it and ask if I wanted to initialize it. Any help would be most appreciated.

    You will need to go to Disk Utility and format the drive (Use HFS+) on the iPod, and then use iTunes to restore the iPod.

  • Mini 1st Gen Harddrive in 2nd Gen mini

    Hey there.. i have two ipod minis, one is a 1st gen and the other is a 2nd gen.
    The 2nd gen's hard drive is giving me a wierd repetitive whirling sound and is displaying the sad ipod. However my first gen mini's harddrive is working fine.
    So i carefully transferred the 1st gen's hd to the 2nd gen but then it didnt even notice it... it did the apple bootup then just reset without reading the hd. So then i put the hd back into the 1st gen and it worked fine :S.
    The reason im wanting to use the 2nd gen mini is because the 1st gen's clickwheel "Play/Pause" button doesnt work.
    Any suggestions? Should the 1st Gen Mini's hard drive work in the 2nd Gen Mini?

    Are they the same capacity? I can look into it if you want.

  • Would 1st gen mini screen work with 2nd gen mini with retina?

    I just bought an ipad mini with retina display.  I dropped it and cracked the screen up just a few days after buying it.  I did not get the protection plan.  Could I buy a replacement screen for the 1st gen mini and it work?  I can't seem to find replacement screens labeled for retina display and I don't wanna pay apple $220 to fix it

    I don't believe it will work, but I can't say for certain. You're on your own on this problem, though perhaps you can get assistance on http://www.ifixit.com.

  • 2nd gen mini completely dead, does nothing

    The other day I plugged my iPod in to charge it. I noticed the lightning bolt charging icon. About 10 min. later when I looked at it, the screen was blank. When I looked at iTunes, I noticed it had not reverted to the screen it usually does whenever I plug the iPod in, nor was my iPod showing up in the left hand column like it usually does when charging. I tried turning the iPod on and nothing happened. I tried restarting the computer. Still nothing happened. The iPod does not show up in My Computer. I've tried resetting by holding Select and Menu at the same time. Several times. Nothing. Even tried giving it a good whack on the desk as suggested in another thread, but still no luck. My current iTunes version is 7.0.2.16. I have tried downloading the last few times an update was available and always get an error message when I triedto run the application, so I've not been able to update to the current version. I am trying one more time as I type this up, but this may be a separate problem for another forum. Anyway... any suggestions on what else I can try? Thinking that I might need to uninstall and try re-installing the whole thing, but would rather try other options first if any exist. Thanks.

    So after trying various and sundry things gleaned from scouring topics and websites I have made a tiny bit of progress. Perhaps.... I now can get the apple icon to show up and the sad ipod icon with the exclamation point and then the charging icon, which never shows any further than 1/4 charged. I couldn't get anything at all before, which is why I'm considering this progress. Oh, and I was FINALLY able to update itunes to the most current version. Beyond that, I still can't get my ipod on and usable or get my computer to recognize when its plugged in.

  • 3rd party batteries for Mini 2nd gen

    I need a new battery for my 2nd Gen Mini. I've found a great deal on ebay, but I'm a little nervous about 3rd-party stuff. What do you think?
    http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-IPOD-MINI-REPLACEMENT-850mAh-BATTERY-PACK-KIT-TOOLSW0QQitemZ170425026259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_PlayerAccessories?hash=item27ae1f86d3
    Is this worth trying? What does "non-OEM" mean?

    Hello Daboa,
    I can tell you what non-OEM means, but I cannot offer any advice regarding the 3rd party replacement battery you provided above. I suggest you do a bit more research online to see what others have had to say about it. Otherwise, try and look elsewhere for replacement batteries. There are several third party repair companies that will offer the parts and service to replace the one in your iPod mini.
    For more help and information regarding battery replacements, see this older post of mine.
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10821733
    Basically, non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means that the product was not sold by the original manufacturer of the product, but instead by a third party company. So the battery you would be buying above would be a compatible battery, but it just will not be from the original manufacturer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipod mini 2nd gen 1 gb: not detected by laptop (win 7 64 bit), if detected: error during autofill and cannot be restored, please help :D

    My laptop does not detect my ipod mini (2nd gen 1 gb), when i connect it the orange light flashe 2 or 3 times then nothing happens. if ever that it will be detected by my laptop and when i sync music on it there will be an error and itunes will suggest to restore it to its factory setting and if i choose to restore it error 3194 happens. so my top priority of course is for it to be detected then fix the latter. please help any will be much appreciated

    This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
    APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

  • Charging iPod nano (2nd gen) with iPod mini adaptor

    Hey
    I just bought my iPod nano 2nd gen, and I realized that there is no wall charger for it. Therefore I am wondering, if I can use the wallcharger for my old iPod mini?
    I that cannot be done, I would like some alternatives, since I would like to bring my iPod on vacation, and therefore I need more than 24 hours of battery life.
    Best regards
    Niels Christian

    " I am wondering, if I can use the wallcharger for my old iPod mini?"
    Yes.

  • 2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday.  Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.

    2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday.  Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.  I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)

    Hey Kenneth,
    So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • Connecting mini to 2nd gen nano

    I've had an ipod mini4gb for many years now. Bought myself a second hand 2nd gen nano with no leads. I used my ipod mini wall charger to charge it no problem. When i put the usb lead from my ipod mini into the nano and then into the pc it lights up but is not recognised by pc or itunes.
    Q1. *Do i need to buy a different lead for it?*
    Q2. *can i use them both on the same pc,(same itunes)*
    ps. my lead still *works fine with my ipod mini*.

    Piece of s**t ipod, have tried it on my sons pc(he does not have itunes). Tried the new lead in my mini on it and it see's it. try the new lead with my nano...........nothing, waste of money buying the lead!!! So i expect this is where it turns out to be cheaper to buy another one more than get it repaired, expect it something silly like £30.00 just to walk through the repairemans door!!
    Thanks for your help by the way. One thing still left unanswered, would i be able to use both ipods on the same itunes(obviously not at the same time)???
    cheers.

  • How to resolve error 1437 on ipod mini 2nd gen

    Hi, my ipod mini 2nd gen 6gb is not working properly.  I had to reset it as my file was corrupted.  However, after
    I have reset it, i kept on getting a response such as "the itunes software is not properly installed..not communicating with ipod device,
    reinstall your itunes".  I had to remove and reinstall itunes again and again, but I kept on getting the same reponse whenever I try to
    sync my ipod with my computer.  It is also taking a long time for the computer to recognize my ipod mini.
    Until now the problem is not yet resolved.  Now Im using another computer, and the error that came out --after resetting it again--is
    error 1437.  I am in the dark as to what is the actual problem.  Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Turn off Notifications and turn off BlueTooth if you don't use it. If you really need to, you can turn WiFi off as well.
    Depending on how often you check e-mail, WiFi will turn back on to do that.

  • Need info on 2 ipods on one computer...2nd gen nano and mini

    We have one computer but 2 ipods...2nd gen nano and a mini.
    I have a few questions about how to make sure the playlists are separate...just general information.
    where can I find this information?
    Thanks,
    Cbaire

    Not sure who penned this solution, but it definitely DOES NOT work. At least for me. I had an Ipod Nano on my account, then bought my wife one. When she initially tried to use it, it read my itunes, and wanted to burn all my songs onto her ipod. I read this and she already had a user account set up, but when you use (or try to use) the ipod under her account, it does nothing when plugged in. You cannot download a version of itunes either, as if there is any version of itunes recognized on the computer (anywhere), it will not allow a 2nd download, even if you want to store it elsewhere. Not sure why this is such an issue, as I am sure there are thousands of families out there with more than one ipod on a single computer. Seems pretty basic.

  • Mini 2nd gen. doesn't support fully VBR Mp3 ?

    Mini 2nd gen. doesn't support fully VBR Mp3 ? All music coded with this method skips during the playback !

    It may be an unsupported format try converting them in Itunes by right clicking the VBR songs and than selecting convert to ACC.
