Compatible USB cord with iPod mini 1st Generation model number A1051

Hi,
I've looked everywhere for a place that sells compatible USB cords with the 1st generation mini circa 2005 and can't find one including the Apple store---in the store some seem to say a particular one works and some doesn't, there is conflicting information. Can you help?

Hello BMSprint,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
A cable such as this one will work. There are several more options available on Amazon. If it's says its compatible specifically with the iPod Mini, then it more than likely is. It might not hurt to read the comments and reviews though to make sure you are choosing a quality product.

Hope this helps a bit.

  • Where can I buy a charger for an ipod mini 1st generation

    Where can I buy a charger for an ipod mini 1st generation

    I believe that is a 4th gen iPod.  When you say "charger," do you mean the USB docking cable?  Or do mean a USB power adapter that you connect to a wall outlet to charge the iPod?
    If it's the docking cable, it's the standard USB docking cable

    If you happen to have a Mac with a FireWire port, the 4th gen iPod actually ALSO works (better) over a FireWire connection.  But you'll have to look for an old FireWire docking cable on eBay (or other online source).
    If you are asking about a USB power adapter, this is the lowest power version from Apple, and it works with the 4th gen iPod.

  • Help with iPod Shuffle - 1st generation - After restoring

    Okay, i needed to restore my iPod shuffle (1st gen), as it was n't letting me put songs on. So when it restored, it started to autofill from the music library randomly, so all my songs were jumbled up. I didn't want this, so I tried to autofill it myself without the 'choose items randomly' box ticked, but it wouldn't synch. So, I restored it again, and tried again. As it was restoring, I noticed in a box that came up, I think were you type in the name of your iPod, there was a box that said something along the lines of 'Autofill from music library automatically when restored', so i unticked it. When it was restored again, and now completely empty, it wouldn't let me autofill manually again. So, just to get songs on my iPod, i have to have them on random, which I do NOT want.
    Does anybody know what to do? I've tried that reset utlity thing, but that just comes up with the same thing.
    Any help will be welcome
    Thankyou!!!
    iPod Shuffle 1st Generation Windows XP

    On the contents page at the bottom, there is a box that reads "Choose Items Randomly". Uncheck it. I just noticed it while trying to sync my own iPod.

  • Difference between Ipod mini 1st Generation & 2nd Generation?

    Wondering the difference between a 1st generation and 2nd generation ipod mini? If you had a choice which would you pick and why? thanks for your help!

    Hi harpo,
    see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300850 for a full description and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688#ipodmini for an illustration of visual differences.
    As well as the differences already mentioned, they came with different accesories (the original model came with a FW charger and FW cable as well as the usb cable) . The original model can also be used with earlier versions of OSX than the later one.
    Cheers

  • Constant low battery warnings for ipod mini 1st Generation

    my ipod mini is doing something weird. When the Battery Meter says it's full, it displays this message that says "No Battery Power Remains, Please plug it into the Power Outlet."
    I have already tried the 5 R's and it didn't work.
    I sent it into apple, and they found no problem and just sent it back.
    I don't know what to do now

    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us
    The Mini isn't listed, and looking at the prices Apple charges for replacing batteries on current models, you might be best off just buying a new iPod.

  • Help with iPod mini (Battery issues)

    I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
    For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
    Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.

    Edited by an Apple Host
    Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
    Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!!

  • Battery iPod mini first generation

    I have an iPod mini 1st generation, and was wondering if I took it o an Apple store if they could replace the battery?

    The battery is quite common and they will repair it if they get the battery in stock.
    In case not, you can google "iPad Mini" battery replacement, I am sure you will find some.
    DIY?, it is quite tough for me for iPad Mini, I did break one. So ask a shop to do for you if you are not too sure about it

  • Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd Generation?

    Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd generation?
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTM3NDk1MjI)
    The specs of the Adapter ("This accessory is compatible with the following:" in the "Overview" section) don't mention iPod touch 3rd generation. They do mention 1st and 2nd Generation
    Thanks!

    Thank you, Lyssa.
    You must be right based on that article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). The latest model of iPod touch is referred to as "iPod touch (Late 2009)" -- and NOT "iPod touch 3rd generation", as I erroneously assumed.
    That completely answers my question about the USB power adapter.

  • How can i sycronize my ipod mini 2nd generation with itunes 11.1.5.5.

    Hi,
    I found my old ipod mini 2nd generation and I would like to update it
    my current version of itunes is 11.1.5.5 and my operating system is windows 7
    the original cd doesn´t work anymore.
    can anybody please help?
    Thanks
    Ull

    You should definitely not use the very old version of iTunes on that CD.
    The latest version of iTunes works fine with my ancient iPod from 2003.  It should work with your iPod mini.  What happens when you connect it to your computer running iTunes?
    The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar (along left side of window).  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  If the iPod is working, and there is no problem with the USB docking cable or USB port on the computer, your iPod should appear in the sidebar under DEVICES.

  • HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore.             is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

    My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last  time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mine is ipod touch 1st generation..its very hard to find the accessories, where can i find it?

    mine is ipod touch 1st generation..its very hard to find the accessories, where can i find it? and some application couldnt work, for example: nike+

    What "accessories" are you looking for?
    The Nike+ app now requires iOS 4, and since that version of iOS won't run on a 1st-generation iPod touch, you will not be able to run that app.
    Regards.
