Apple iPod Mini Case

Apple iPod Nano Case

Hello. I was just wondering, which case looks like it would be better, look better, and just overall better. They are both twenty dollars. Which one should I get? The Incase Neoprene Sleeve for iPod Nano, or Agent 18 Shield for iPod Nano. They are in the Apple store under iPod Nano cases, but I can't put a link to them for some reason. What is your opnion?

Hi
I just received my Incase Neoprene Sleeve for my Ipod Nano. It looks great sure it wont make the nano as tiny but no cases do. It has a cover for the screen and the click wheel. I have not recived my nano yet but I have seen one in the sleeve. The picture quality was very good. When I receive my nano it will go straight to the case. If you want I will write a review for you. My suggestion is the Incase neoprene Sleeve!
P.s. Have you look at the reviews on the Apple Store online?

Apple ipod mini

I bought my ipod mini in june, and by mid july, the click wheel all of a sudden was at an angle, i mean the wheel itself was slanting to the left, towards the back track button. I never put much, or any force on my ipod mini click wheel, especially since it was my pride and joy, and so new at the time...anyone know why this happens, or how, or has it happened to anyone else other than me?...
Thank you. ******* more below:-->

This is a repost of my same message, what i want to know now is that, if i return my ipod mini like some of you have suggested, will i be getting my personalized ipod mini, back or will i get a nano,?.. i want to still have my mimi:) thank you.

You will get the same model and capacity back as you sent in. You can opt to have the original engraving, or to not have any engraving.
I believe that the ClickWheel is attached to the case using double-sided sticky tape. Evidently, it has come loose.

Apple ipod mini scrolling through songs

I recently set up a mini on my itunes for my daughter with her own playlist as described in the site. I had to transfer her songs over to my computer and some of them she got off of the store had to be authorized. BUT...Now her mini scrolls through all of her songs uncontrolled when you try to play them. What is causing this??
Help!! Thanks

This has happened to me also, and I'm just as clueless! At random times all or just some songs in a playlist/artist/album will suddenly scroll rather than play for now reason. I had it happen within the very same day - one hour it works fine and the next it's scrolling and I haven't done anything to it.
The only good thing is it seems to fix itself after I connect the it to the computer and it updates itself. But still, it's very irritating, almost as much as how Apple Techs don't seem to want to talk about it. I'm guessing they rushed this thing out to market and haven't a clue either as to why it happens.
And I've had other unexplained quirks both with the iPod and with iTunes. I got my mini as a gift, but given how "iPod Tech Support" is a new oxymoron, I doubt if I'll ever buy another one when this craps out.

Apple IPOD mini so unreliable & hard to service!!

My 2 month old IPOD has been crashing almost every week...
till 10 days ago it has frozen for good ! Help desk took
ages to confirm some 'hardware issue'.
Now it needs to shipped back so that I can get a second hand (refurbished) unit. It seems I have just been doing validation testing for Apple and as a reward I get to keep a refurbished unit !! ...What a con!!

The fact that the original poster is unhappy with the product indicates Apple has failed him. The quality of the product was substandard, since it failed to me his specifications.
He has every right to be unhappy with the performance of his product.
If I was Apple, I would be concerned. Seems like Apple has just lost a future customer. Take his situation and multiply it by the number of other people. Sooner or later, people will prefer quality over technology.
I'm unsatisfied with my mini ipod.
To the original poster- at least Apple is losing money with your transaction. These post-transaction costs hurts their bottom-line.

Ipod mini battery trouble

Hello, I purchased my son a mini ipod and although i am not 100% positive which generation it is i do know that it is either a generation 1 or 2. My son was listening to the ipod in bed one night then it froze on the song, on the screen it showed the song and the artist.
My son is tellin me 2 different stories either he droped it or it suddenly froze.
I have changed the battery myself through instructios i found on the internet, everything went fine. All that the screen shows now is an apple symbol even when i put it in the wall to charge, A battery symbol appeared for about 10 seconds then it went back to the apple symbol this was before i plugged it into the wall.
Is there anyway i can fix it or do i have to restore it or is my apple ipod mini stuffed!!
Any help would be most appreciated..
Thank You
dell Windows XP

sounds like your ipod mini is dead i wouldn't of tried to change the battery yourself i would have gone to the local
apple macintosh retailer or repair shop it would have then cost you only $79.99 to have someone replace the battery
and it being done by a trained professional instead it is going to cost you 300.00 for a ipod now so have fun

HP iPOD mini = Piece of Trash

I have had nothing but problems with my HP apple iPOD mini. For starters it had to be returned to HP, after a month of usage, as it just stopped working. They did repair it, and I received it back after a couple weeks.
Well the problems continue. Today I transferred a bunch of music onto my iPOD, and when I plugged my iPOD in at work, to update the library, all the new songs I had uploaded to the iPOD had become corrupt. I know for a fact they were fine before, as I was listening to them on the way to work. Now all my songs appear to be corrupt, and I cannot listen to any of them.
In addition when I plugged my iPOD into my machine at work, iTUNEs popped up, which I closed, as it is a horrible piece of software. Much to my dismay if went ahead and updated my iPOD software, even after I told it not to, and not to ask me again.
Am I seriously going to have to send this lemon of a product in again for more technical support? I have not even owned this product for 6 months and it has failed, completely twice, and become corrupt multiple times. I knew there was a reason why I did not buy HP or Apple products, and the reason has become even more apparent.

And this has nothing to do with it being an HP iPod. Obviouslty you have a problem with your computer, NOT your iPod. This is in no way Apple's fault.
Im sorry you dont know what you are talking about. The third party program did not cause anything to become corrupt. I very clearly stated, the songs were fine, and I listened to them on my way to work. The songs became corrupt after plugging my iPOD into my PC at work and iTUNES syncing the library, after I told it not to.
The fact that I have had this exact same problem before, with the entire iPOD becomming corrupt, over time, and had to send it off to be fixed, is proof positive that the storage media has become corrupt yet again.
So you Ejected it using iTunes or from the USB manager, correct?
I ejected the ipod from my computer which lists all drives including the iPOD when connected. I know the proper disconnection routine, as I have done it numerous times without issue.
And Apple hardware/software is to blame because???
The third party program is not to blame. It is by a reputable company, I have used there software on my creative jukebox without issue, and have used it multiple time before, with my iPOD, without issue. Apple hardware / software is to blame, because everything has become corrupt, the exact same way things occured the last time I had to send it off to be fixed. Last time I phoned about this problem I was told to use the update software to erase everything and to use the reset procedure. This did not work at all, and problems persisted as they do now.
This type of responce is the biggest cop-out there is. People are more willing to pass the problem onto another company, just to wipe there hands clean of a poorly manufactoured product. If we were to look at the history of defects in products, from both companies, it becomes very clear where the problem lies.
So they were MP3 format, not AAC? Or were you trying to use a non-Apple codec in WMP?
They were the proper format for the iPOD. Windows Media Player can play anything on the iPOD very easily. There is a reason windows media player can download codecs it does not initially come with. It is also the reason I ejected my iPOD and tried the headphones, and the songs were stil corrupt, as I wanted to make sure it was the iPOD and not windows media player which was the problem.
You aren't using any Apple software (except what is on the Mini) and Apple software messed up how?
I very clearly stated iTUNES was the culprit, and yes iTUNES is apple software. In addition the entire library on the iPOD has spotaneously become corrupt as it did the last time I had to send it in for repairs. If events unfold in a similiar manner as last time, my iPOD should stop functioning, at all, in a very short period of time.
Even a quick glance at the threads in this forum would give a person the understanding, that I am not the only person with these types of problems.

IPod Mini sound/volume is as soft as a mouse now

PLEASE HELP!
I have just got a replacement set of earphones sent to me by apple because the original one just stopped working all of the sudden. I noticed that my iPod mini's sound/volume is about 50% softer than when I originaly got it. I've tried using euPOD and goPOD and also the slider trick but it still doesn't take the volume back to the good old days. I know that it is probably because of the stupid new 26-03-2006 update with the volume limit on it, but i've also tried restoring the iPOD but to no avail either. I've tried everything already and nothing has worked. Does anybody know how I can get around this or I'll just have to throw my Mini in the trash and never buy anything from apple again! I also noticed that the volume slider doesn't actualy change the volume loudness until it gets past halfway.....so it doesn't actualy get softer or louder until I'm about halfway thru. I can't see why apple would want to implement such a ridiculous limit on what was essentialy a very good product.
Very Very Disappointed Apple

Gary,
There is a lot I don't know yet, but I definitely managed to raise the volume by cutting off the sound check and the equalizer when importing new stuff. As a test, I can now hear the words in an audiobook, although the volume is still on maximum for my iPod and car tape player. Unfortunately the old stuff still sounds too faint. (Is this iPod actually updating?)
There is a problem with my car tape player. I haven't bought a head cleaning kit yet, but plan to do so. I connected an FM transmitter and tested the sound -- it was a lot louder. (In my area, I cannot use an FM transmitter in the city because of FM interference. No empty stations. So I either need earphones or to make the tape player work. Or a new car
I don't know yet whether it's the Sound Check or Equalizer that makes the difference. I don't think I ever used Sound Enhancer.
You can raise the volume by selecting songs, going to "Get Info" and resetting the volume bar. This seems to make it louder on the Mac speakers. I cannot tell that anything is getting through to the iPod -- I simply don't hear it yet.
I don't know yet if importing when using Sound Check does anything permanent to the volume of the song. I hope not.

Ipod "Outer Case"

I fell, and my ipod case bent a little bit and the "mirror/silvery" side got dented a couple of times. It bent at the bottom where you plug the USB cable into, and this makes it hard to put the cable in!
I was just wondering if they have replacement "Outer cases" (the actual ipod casing... with the colour side and the mirror/silver side) for it!
Thanks so much in advance!

I wouldnt get a new one because that would involve taking out the electronics. I would go to www.handhelditems.com/apple-ipod-shuffle-apple-ipod-shuffle-cases-c-418614731.html / They have the metal covers that will cover up all those dents and make it look good and protect it.

Apple iPod 30GB Help, please

Hi. I just got a new Apple iPod 30GB for Video and I am slightly confused. Now, I have been using an Apple iPod Mini 4GB on my computer lately (it's been acting up lately, that's why I have a new one), but now I want to use my new iPod Video. I'd like to know:
How do I change that? How do I use my new Ipod Video instead of a Mini? I did install a new itunes upgrade. I tried looking for helpful hints, but none helped.
Thanks.

Question: What if I connect iPod but don't see it in iTunes? (This is from Start Guide)
Answer: Try connecting iPod to another USB port on your computer.
My Complaint: I tried it, but I still don't see it. What could be wrong with my iPod 30GB Video? Or, rather, how can I fix this issue?

IPod mini frozen with Apple logo on screen

After charging the iPod several nights ago, the Apple logo has remained permanently on the screen until the battery runs down. We have tried all the combinations of resetting it, and occassionally get a flicker of a line on the screen, but the logo always comes back. The only other display is the low battery symbol when we attempt to reset it when the battery is low.
The iPod is also no longer communicating with the computer as it does not appear in iTunes. We have had a bit of trouble with it over the past 6 months, having had to deal with several other frozen episodes, but it usually comes back to life. Not this time however.
I have not attempted a full restore yet - is this likely to achieve anything or does it need service (or a good stomping on perhaps?)
thanks

Before you go to buy a new one, do you want to have a last try?
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
In case you need an old versions (window only)
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Looking for an iPod classic original Apple brand carry case.

Does anyone have a classic iPod original Apple brand carry case? I'd love to buy it (them) from you! I use mine to carry my iPod and iPhone on my belt, but mine has been with me for 6-7 years and is wearing out. If you have one of these sitting around in GOOD shape (with belt clip still attached and not damaged) I'd love to take it off your hands!

I don't have the original pouch (I don't even know what that is), but I did find this case I was looking for, and yes it was on eBay, and the guy was selling a bunch of them and I got 4 for like $4.50 each... what a deal. I think the original one I bought back in 2003 or 2004 was $30. So now I have 4 of these at the ready so when they wear out or break (like the previous ones I've had all did) I've got more.
All that to say... I don't need to find this case anymore b/c I found it on eBay and bought a bunch. THANKS!

In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.
