Help finding specs stored on my ipod mini....

I sent in my ipod mini in February for a replacement battery. They gave me a new one, with a three month warranty. Six months have gone by, and the battery seems to already be dying. It says it has half-life in the indicator, but suddenly the message "Low battery connect to charger" pops up, and that's it. It dies. When I'm able to restart, the battery indicator is empty.
I know the genius bar people were able to find the information on the ipod to determine the age/use of the battery from its menu, but I can't seem to find that information when I do a forum search. I'm just trying to see how old this thing was.
I'm loathe to drop another $70 on stuff with obsolete or defective batteries in it.
Thanks!

Windows cannot find device driver for my ipod mini

Just got my new laptop and downloaded latest version of iTunes, but my iPod mini does not appear as a source. It appears in Device Manager but not My Computer. Any suggestions?

Not sure if these are applicable to Vista but worth a try.
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
iPod not recognized on a Windows laptop.

Storing Pictures on iPod Mini

I have no idea if this can be done, but I really don't want to drag my laptop on a vacation.
I have an iPod mini and a Canon PowerShot A530. Is there anyway I can import pictures directly from the camera to the iPod? I want to free up my memory cards.
The answer is probably no, but it was worth asking.
Thanks!

Yep you're right, the answer is no.

Need help -- iTunes won't recognize two ipod minis

Suddenly our iMac has stopped recognizing both of my kids iPod minis. When connected to a firewire port, the screens on both minis show the animation for "battery charging" -- but neither one appears in iTunes. This problems had never occurred before. This is what I have tried to do so far without success: tried each mini in different firewire ports; repaired permissions; restarted computer; tried a different cable.
As you can imagine, both of my kids consider this an urgent issue . . . .

have you read this before?

NEED HELP!!!!! IPOD MINI GONE HORRIBLY WRONG!!!!

Hi,

Firstly you can try holding the menu and center buttons for approx. 5 seconds and that should reset the ipod (songs will remain on ipod). If this fails to work, download the Ipod updater from this site, plug your ipod into the computer and reset it completely (songs will be wiped but can be put back on after). I hope this helps.

Used space, nothing stored in my ipod mini

I had to reset my mini, so it would show up on my computer...now when I try to update, it says there are 3 GB of used space, but nothing in my library or on the ipod. What did I do wrong?

Heather,
I don't think you did anything wrong, it's just one of those odd software glitches that crop up from time to time.
Restoring the iPod to factory settings should cure it.

Please Help!!!!! Ipod mini trouble

My ipod is recognized by my computer and the itunes sidebar but it doesnt upload songs that are in my library into the ipod itself. I've tried uninstalling the itunes program and reinstalling it but it doesnt work. i've also restored my ipod but that didn't work either. please help me i haven't been able to figure it out for a while!!
is there anyway i could fix it, or should i take it to the apple store
Thank You for your help

How are you attempting to transfer songs to the iPod? If it's set to manual then simply connecting the iPod will do nothing and you must drag and drop the songs from iTunes to the iPod.
if it's set to automatic transfer, do you see any error messages or is anything displayed in the status windows (where the Apple logo normally appears)?

Using iTunes/Ipod mini on multiple computers (many questions)

Hello I recently purchased another computer for myself. I would like to use iTunes and my ipod mini on this computer but I would also like to continue to use it on my family's main pc. Is this possible? Do I have to worry about that deauthorization of computers, or the license, or is it fine to use on two pcs? I just don't know how all that stuff works but I think I remember something about having iTunes on one pc only.
Now for the second part of my questions. How do I actually go about transfering iTunes and my ipod to another pc? Do I just install iTunes like normal and transfer my files using an external hard drive? My family pc will remain as the main one for now but eventually I'll switch it to my laptop. I don't care about playlists and song ratings because I don't bother with that. What I want to do is simply have the music that's on my family pc put onto my laptop. I have bought an external hard drive so I could transfer the music without much problems.
Finally can I switch between my laptop and home pc? I mean can I use my mini from my laptop and then later update it from my home pc and do other things like that. I'll use the songlist from my home pc for now but eventually my laptop will become my main one. I know I read something about clicking no if I want to change the music library when plugging in my ipod to another pc. Do I have to keep both iTunes updated to the same version and the songlist the same? I'm wondering if there will be any conflicts between the two.
I'm sorry about how confusing this all is and the many questions I have but I hope somebody can help out. Thank you.
Ipod mini (not 1st generation) Windows XP

hi Gerhard!
you can authorise up to five PCs at one time:
iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
this Buegie post is an excellent resource on moving your itunes to a different computer:

and these resources should be helpful with managing the mini from different computers:

Ipod mini won't respond to ANYTHING!

I hope someone out there can help; for the last week my ipod mini hasn't worked - only had it 12 months.
At first ITunes wouldn't recognise the ipod so i could put some new tracks on it, later i went to play a song while it was charging but it was skipping through all the songs on the album without playing any, i know it didn't have much battery life left but like i said it was on charge.
Now after what seems like a life time of trying to restore (like the website says) & looking at the unhappy face on the screen there's a sound coming out of the USB connection (on the bottom) which is like what you used to get when a CD got stuck!!
When i am trying to restore i follow the instructions but it isn't recognising when i plug it in.
Please help me!.......

Just to let you all know if this happens to you, your ipod mini is BROKEN! The only way to sort it out is send to Apple to repair - which, if out of warranty like mine, means you'll be paying for it and it'll cost you more than a brand new high range ipod!! Looks like i'll be using a different company from now on - thanks for the last 12 months but you've lost a customer now if it can't last more than 10 days after the warranty runs out!

Ipod mini for mac to pc

hello everybody i apology in advance for my question but ive read through the forum and i cant find an answer.
i have ipod mini for mac and im going to give it as a present to my cousin, now she has a pc and i dont know if it will work..can anybody tell me?
thanks

I'm not really sure why they asked you that question really.
There's a difference in file systems between Mac and PC and Windows cannot read the Mac system, hence the need to reformat it.
When the mini was first realeased it could be that iPods were pre formatted for each system (I can't really remember), so that's why they asked you.
Nowadays, they're all Windows formatted out of the box.

How could i fix my ipod mini drop into water?

please help how could i fix my ipod mini dropped into the water.

There is no "true" fix for liquid damage. It has been suggested by many to put your device into dry rice for about 3-4 days without trying to do anything on it....do not even power it on. Once a device has liquid damage, it is just a matter of time before it has a failure.

Ipod mini with OS 9

Just bought an ipod mini for my daughter's birthday thinking if I had itunes it should work in spite of not having OS X. I was wrong. I currently have OS 9.2.2. Does anyone have suggestions for a fix other than what I'm doing now, taking it to work to download from a PC (how embarassing, attaching a Mac product to a PC) or upgrading to OS X? Please help.

You can't use an iPod mini with Mac OS 9. First and second generation full-size iPods will work with Mac OS 9's iTunes, as will third generation full-size iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware.
