From the mini to the nano

I have a question. When I upgrade from the mini to the nano, I have to install the new itunes, right? But do I want to completely uninstall the earlier itunes? I fear that I'll lose all of my music in the process.

You don't need to install iTunes if you already have it, just connect the Nano.

Can I use AC charger from ipod mini on new nano???

My son had an ipod mini. He had bought an AC charger for it. I am buying him an ipod nano for his birthday (ipod mini went bad...). Can he use the charger from the mini to the nano???

Maybe, depends on the charger. It would appear that while older iPods only needed the power pins, newer ones may require the data pins to also be active for charging. Some chargers do not connect the data pins at all.
But it won't damage the Nano. It will either work fine or do nothing at all.
Which charger is it?

I am looking to buy either the mini or the air this year, but want to know if either has a headphone port?

I am looking to buy either the mini or the air this year, but want to know if either has a headphone port? Additionally, I am looking for the best sound quality. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks - which one has the best sound quality?

HT4356 I checked everything out and had no problem printing from IPAD/MINI using the HP Photosmart 6520 printer, but the next day, using same application, my HP did not show, but was looking for the AirPrint Printer, what am I doing wrong?

Using IPAD2, IPAD MINi, HP photosmartE6520 set up on wireless network. No problem printing from my devices, but the following day, it is looking for AirPrint printer, why?

Hello lenc48,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having a few issues when it comes to printing from your mac as well as some two sided printing issues.
I do have a some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please remove the usb cable (if using wireless, disregard this step) from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
Please click on the first link that will give you instructions on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the software has been removed, please disable any anti virus protection that you may have on the Mac.
The next step we are going to take is downloading the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable (You will see a prompt for a wireless connection as well if that is the connection type you would like to use) so please do not connect the cable until prompted to do so.
If you are still having issues, feel free to write me back or you can contact HP Total care direct. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Lost the Mini, bot the Nano, but cannot convert!

Bot the new Nano for my 10 year old. The salespunk told me just to plug the nano in and get updates. That didn't work so I tried to delete all iTunes and iPod Mini programs, but it tells me command to delete the latest download is not allowed. I'm stuck with a 3 hour old Nano that won't let me do anything. ANy suggestions? Thansk in advance, preppneck
Also, when I try to open the iTunes icon on my desktop, it tells me there is an error and needs to close........

yes, try installing QuickTime standalone, not regular

The mini iTunes software may be too old for the nano, I'm not sure what you had before.
You're choosing SAVE, not RUN, right? Best not to run installaions over te internet.
Also, turn Norton off before installing, it really hates iTunes for some reason. Turn off any security software, for that matter, if you don't have Norton.

Configuring your iPod For Disk Use
If when starting iPodCopy you get a message indicating that your iPod cannot be found but your iPod is connected to your PC and is visible in iTunes, it may be that your iPod is not configured for "Disk Use".
WARNING...
To set up Disk Use on an iPod requires that your iPod be connected to iTunes. Depending on your iPod and iTunes Preferences this may cause your iPod and iTunes to synchronize, resulting in a potential loss of music on your iPod.
You should only proceed if...
1-The iPod is connected to its parent iTunes library which contains all your music,
2-OR The iPod is set to manually manage songs,
3-OR The iPod is not yet linked to the iTunes library that is about to be started.
If iTunes asks if you want to link the iPod to iTunes library - Click No.
This iPod option is set using iTunes. Follow these instructions...
- With your iPod connected open iTunes.
- From the iTunes menu select Edit->Preferences..
- Select the iPod tab in the options preference window.
- Select the "General" tab. (iTunes version 4.7 and below only)
- make sure that "Enable disk use" is checked.
- Click OK.
- Restart iPodCopy.
I don't have all what they ask my. The only thing is the point 3 where the ipod it's not link it to the itune library that is about to started. but I don't know if I will lose the music that I have now in the ipod. I don't have my old computer, and that's another problem.

Is the Mini DisplayPort the same as the Thunderbolt port?

I need to know, because I'd like to mirror my computer to my TV.

Niel's answer assumes you meant 'Thunderbolt" when you wrote "lightning bolt." I thought you were referring the the Lightning port on an iDevice. However, if you meant Thunderbolt, then it is the same as the Mini-DisplayPort's connector.

Using DVI, distance between the Mini and the Monitor?

I'm in the process of setting up an Intel MacMini to be used in conjunction with an LCD TV (with a DVI input) to be used for a continuously-running Keynote presentation in a public place.
I am currently looking to get a 37" LCD Television (the largest size that will fit in the available space). It has yet to be determined where the Mac Mini will be located in relation to the display.
Are there distance -- or other -- limitations I need to be concerned about?

There is considerable difference in quality between VGA and DVI, with DVI giving a sharper image with better defined color and saturation. Much depends on the actual display itself as to whether the differences are very noticeable, but in general terms, it's often as marked as night and day.
As an example, I have a user who has an NEC 1760NX display, hooked up to a mini with a VGA cable. He's had the monitor for a couple of years, always connected via a VGA cable. Last week I replaced the VGA cable with a 6 foot DVI, and as soon as he switched the system on he called me to thank me for giving him a new monitor!
It would be expected that VGA would be less good, even if only because in order to function, a digital signal is converted to analog, pushed down the cable, and then reconverted to digital in the monitor. As would be expected, there is always something lost in the translation! DVI is, on the other hand, digital all the way.
Incidentally, that is also why DVI would not degrade as much over distance as VGA. With DVI all you really have to worry about is the loading of the cable reducing voltage below the threshold of the monitor, or electrical interference allowing spurious alteration to the flow of 1s and 0s. Otherwise, with a digital signal, if it's present at all at the input of the monitor it is exactly what was sent at the output of the system. With VGA, there are far more complex issues, and cable length can affect the signal in far more subtle ways. Capacitive loading can, for example, alter the color balance or luminance of the signal while resistive loading can add noise.
Of the two, DVI is the better choice, and least likely to be adversely affected by distance - assuming good quality cabling of course.

I got rid of all 5 of our iphones because of iTunes. I am stuck with an iPad mini and can't get it to sync more than once wirelessly without rebooting the mini and the computer (PC).

I see hundreds of people on the internet having the same problem. Is there any cure.

This all happening on my iMac, with most current Mavrick's OS

I prefer the mini over the nano....

Well, looks like Best Buy doesn't sell Mini's anymore...:(
And some mini's cost over the 200's! I wanted a gold. But I heard that nano's break really easily! If you drop it, it freezes or breakes...
Can Apple have any left in stock that they could sell me for a cheaper price?

Click on the store link above, scroll down the page and click on the red "save" icon. Scroll down that page, and there you will see refurbished products. Check to see if they have a mini. Last time I looked there were none, but that changes everyday.

Using Ac Charger from iPOD mini on the Video iPOD would it work??

Hi, I just got a video iPOD and it didn't come with any wall charger, can I use the charger from my iPOD mini to charge it? Would it damage my video iPOD? Thanks

Yes, you can use it to charge your new iPod.
It won't damage it.

Switching from ipod mini to ipod nano

I just got a new nano and i had an ipod mini. can i still keep my old itunes and transfer them to the new ipod nano?

It will be like setting up your iPod mini. You may register the iPod (if you want), but that's basically it. It is very self-explanatory.

Updating from iPod mini to iPod nano

Is there anyway anyone knows that I can trade in my 10 month old iPod mini for an iPod nano, I'm willing to pay the difference. Please contact!!!!

Your best bet is to sell your mini (try ebay or something) & buy a nano.

What is the best way to leave the mini for the night?

What is the best way to switch off the ipod mini when I have finished with it?
My usual way to finish is to press the pause button then press the hold button. Is this safe?
I have heard that holding the pause/play button does a similar thing.
Any input is greatfully received.
Thanks.

I do the same thing. Press and hold pause until it sleeps and then switch hold on so I don't wake it up by accident. If you gasp don't use it for a couple of days it will go into deep sleep, and when you wake it up it will show the apple symbol... I think it is essentially rebooting.
I'm pretty sure the iPod normally just goes to sleep, rather than shuts down. This uses a little more power, but makes it faster when you go to use it (rather than waiting for it to boot up... like when you leave it for a few days). I think it's a reasonable compromise... give up a little battery life for that instant sweet tune gratification! And if you don't use it... it shuts down to preserve your battery. Smart pod!
Anyway, don't worry about it, what you are doing is perfectly safe for your iPod.

Hi Hill,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Some reading material for you from Apple:
1. iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
2. Just plug your nano into your Laptop after you have moved everything across from your PC.
