Have an iPod mini what next for my G4

Hello, My wonderful used G4 audio digital is a really nice computer and I enjoy learning more about it. Now I have a hand me down iPod mini. OK I charged it up using the USB on my Gateway PC. So when I plug the iPod mini into the Gateway USB the good ole 'do not disconnect appears in the mini's window. When I plug it into the G4 either my audio digital or Quicksilver the iPod mini window will light up and I can scroll through the controls. I did download a manual for the mini. What would i need or what could i download to get my mini to play through the G4? Of course tranfer sounds to my mini from the G4?
What do I use to get the mini to play into a PC too.
Next; can I take my mini and just stick it into any computer like a USB storage device too?
Plus it needs head phones. Chances are I can find head phones for it most anywhere and can I play the mini direct to power speakers?
The learning goes on
Patrick

To make it do tricks on a Mac or a PC you would need to have iTunes on the Mac or PC. There are separate forums for numerous versions of iTunes, where folks with expertise in the use of iTunes are eager to help you.
You may need a third-party program to load stuff FROM the ipod TO the Mac or PC. Apple's model assumes your Master Library is on a Mac or PC and that the iPod holds temporary copies to be played. It is not intended to do easy uploads.
One limiting factor is that many versions of iTunes have specific requirements for which version of Mac OS X must be running. Only a few very old iPods are supported by the version of iTunes that will run under OS 9. If you are running Mac OS X 10.4, you can run the latest iTunes.
Yes, that output is a headphones output, suitable for any standard headphones or earbuds \[in-ear headphones without the headband], powered speakers, or the iPod input jack in many newer cars.

iTunes 7 will download the correct version of the firmware from Apple's web site as necessary; you don't need the software on the iPod's CD if you have a newer version of iTunes and the iPod updater for versions of iTunes prior to 7 installed. The functions provided by the iPod updater have been rolled into iTunes 7.

That just usually means the battery needs to be recharged. If you have already tried recharging it, see some of the troubleshooting steps in this Apple support document.

I have a ipod mini from 2005, it will only work on my charger. I did get a new i pod touch 4, how do i get the music from the old mini to the new touch. I have never put any music on it myself, my ex-husband did it all and has the password. I never new it. I'm sure not about to call him and I don't think he'd give it to me anyway. Please help!!!

I don't think the password will matter, because you can't use anything on the iPod or in iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
The simple software "lock" used on iPods should not prevent you from off-loading the song files. Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can do a Restore on the iPod to give it a fresh start and sync it (and the iPod touch) as desired.
NOTE: For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them to your computer at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

HT203055 I can't sign in or out of iCloud. Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to. What next.

I can't sign in or out of iCloud. Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to. What next? From what I'm reading in the forums, once the email address is set up it cannot be changed. True? If so, um, stupid.
Message to log in to iCloud every time I reply or forward an email. Have to indicate to ignore every time. Annoying.

Hello florabb,
You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

I have an ipod mini. I have a personnal voice greeting that I want to share with my siblings and grandchildren. How do I do that?

I have an iPod mini with an audio greeting from my deceased mother, that I want to share with my siblings and grandchildren. How do I do that?

So you want to add this greeting to the Mini? If so, you'll first need to import it into iTunes (assuming it's an iTunes compatible format) and then configure to sync to your iPod.
For now let's just focus on getting it into iTunes as well as making sure we are on the same page here.

I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S. I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my iphone

I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

Thanks, This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple. What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer. I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it. If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

I have an iPod mini 6GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it work?

I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

- 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.
