Got new ipod mini, wont charge! Shows ipod w/sad face

I just bought a 4GB ipod mini. Whenever I charge it [i use the charger on the "iHome" dock] it first shows the apple logo, then after a few seconds it shows the little ipod with a sad face, and it says "apple.com/support/ipod" then after displaying that for a few seconds, a little picture of a battery and an exclamation point next to it flashes really fast, then it repeats the whole thing over again. I have never used it before that is why i am worried!! has this happened to anyone else?? I know that it isnt the iHome charger because my sister has used it on her mini ipod and it worked perfectly!

AH! sorry wrong section to post it in!

Ipod mini ac charger and ipod nano

Nice and easy but i could not find the same exact question elsewhere.
I have an ipod mini that has battery problems, i have just received a new nano and noticed that it does not have an AC charger. Now, the question is, will my ipod mini ac charger and the firewire cable charge my new nano or do i have to go and spend 20 quid on another ac charger, and i'll be mighty hacked off if i do.

Cheers mate. Yeah i figured on the usb sync thing just wanted to make sure i wasnt gonna blow up my nano with the Mini ac charger.
Thanks again,
Ian.

I got new speaker system and i plug ipod in and try to play music and it wont but it will charge

i got new speaker system and i plug ipod in and try to play music and it wont but it will charge. How do i fix

- Make sure that the iPod is fully seated in the dock.
- Does the manufacturer of the dock say it will work with your specific model iPod touch and its iOS? Not all dock work with all models and iOSs. Users have reported that when the updated the iOS on their iPod and broke compatibility.

While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn
green UNLESS whatever is causing the light to blink
(access by iTunes, used as data storage drive, ...)
stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
hardware", it might display a solid orange...

NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
the USB port.
it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
It may very be. What happens when you press the
battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
anything?
it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
etc.
Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
disconnected?
first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
i got a red light
when i press the back light now
i get nothing,

My ipod wont charge and i already reseted my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes so what should ido cuz my ipod still wont charge

my ipod wont charge so i resested my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes and my ipod till wont charge what should i do?

You can does that plug your iPod somewhere else like the sockets on walls because sometimes the mac is getting less power so it cant give a bit of power to your iPod if it gives the mac will shut down
If in the socket it doesn't charge get New power adapted if it still doesn't charge get a new USB cable if it still doesn't charge take it to apple :)

My Ipod 5 wont charge

My ipod 5g wont charge and i dont know why. I tried all the chargers and cubes in my house and new ones. just started this last weekend.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable. Maybe you call a cable a "charger".

Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

Ipod mini wont turn on or respond

updated to the latest itunes, transferred some songs to ipod mini, properly disconnected an ipod through itunes, unplugged. about 15 minutes later wanted to listen to ipod but it would not turn on. the screen remained blank, tried plugging ipod back to pc, but the screen still stays off, doesn't even charge or anything. I tried reseting ipod without any luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Emin,
Are you resetting correctly?
Did you update iPod Updater to the latest version?
Have you tried to restore your iPod to factory settings?

My ipod touch wont charge nor will the computer recognize it as an ipod

my iPod touch wont charge when connected to my lab top but it isnt the usb cord or port because it works for a different iPod and my computer wont recognize my ipod.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream. How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

Hi Jose Sam,
It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
