Help! USB/Ipod Mini

I recently purchased a adapter for my ipod, and followed all directions completely.
I connected it to my ipod through the Ipod Dock the right way, and made SURE of it.
Now, the end that is currently connected to the adapter is STUCK! I've been pulling and tugging gently and once roughly, but to no avail! Any suggestions?

Checked the other posts and it seems we still have to buy an AC charger to make sure it's charging properly. sigh I took mine to the Apple service center after several attempts to restore and reset it. They said they'll send me a brand new replacement in three weeks. It's been 2 weeks now so I got a few more ipod mini-less days to go...

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.
iPod Mini (1st generation) Windows XP Battery discharged in a minute.

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!!!

HELP ME- ipod mini wont play songs!

i have rescently moved houses and had to load my ipod mini on to a new computer and new i tunes list. I re loaded all my music on to the new list and transfered my ipod to factory settings to wipe all my old music. But when i went transfer all of my music to my ipod everything went bad!
my ipod says it has the songs on it but when i go to play them it plays none of them and just skips them all! Also when my ipod is connected to itunes i cant play the songs that are said to be in my ipod, but all the songs in my library play perfectly! (which are the same as the ones in my ipod)
please help me im going crazy!!!

Hello Anna,
Have you any tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store? Did you authorise the new computer: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation you could also have a look here: Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod
One last thing, when your iPod is connected to iTunes and you try to play it through the computer do you get Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen? This would mean that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences.

Help with Ipod mini

I'm having a problem with my mini. It turns it self on, and then right back off constantly, until the batteries run out. when i hook it up to the computer, it recharges, and then goes back to the on/off cycle. the computer won't recognize it. All i see is the apple logo clicking on then off then on etc...
I've tried resetting it, but it just goes back to the on/off cycle.
Please help!

iPod Doesn’t Appear on OS X Desktop or in iTunes
I hope this helps!
The other option is to just kinda let it run itself out of battery, then see how it's doing.

Need help using ipod mini for disc space

When I try to click the box to use my mini as disc space the box is grayed out. Can't be clicked. I am using the gold mini. Is the ipod too old to be used as disc space. why is the box grayed out. I have all the allowances to do everything. Can anyone help? Thanks, oldmankent.
G5

The usual reason for the enable disk use box to be "greyed out" and not selectable is because the iPod is set to manually transfer songs.
If this is the case, then disk use is automatically enabled. With manual transfer disk use is the default setting and cannot be changed.

HELP! ipod mini dead? won't reset or power off...help please!

My ipod is stuck on a song..it looks like it is paused. I tried to toggle the switch about 50 and reset about 50 times but the light stays on and the lines under the name of song and title are like this_________________ ___________
-3 0:16
Any ideas? It won't show up on the desktop with usb or firewire and I've restarted several times....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-Diane

In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.

Please help me, Ipod mini is not charging nor recognizing

I connected my mini with my PC,but nothing happened,not charging nor any recognition. Then, all hard working coming....
First of all,i checked my PC has USB2.0 port,(Asus P4P800 deluxe),for make sure about that,i opened device manager to find i have "standard enhanced PCI to USB host controller" present.well then,it seems not my PC's problem.
Secondly, i tried to reset my mini,surely, that's no any response since it's never been charged. For additional carefulness,i waited for above 30 mins as guide book says it may need time to charge the battery at the first time. Actually, i connected it with my PC for 2 hours.. nothing's happened.. really annoying.
Finally,i tired to update itunes to a new version,but no miracle happens,the mini even does show on my resource list....i am revolting now..
I got this one for a little fun, but all it's given are troubles...I spent 2 hours on getting it started already.Thank godness if anyone can help me. Lots of appreciation.

Yeah.....after 4 hours connecting with my PC,it's charging now.......just started 5 mins ago. I am faint,why just told me need to wait a few hours,make me confused and annoyed.
hope not too many problems later.

Help - dead iPod mini!

Okay - it worked perfectly fine yesterday, let it charge last night via usb cable to the G5 and now today when I went to play some tunes, dead. Nothing at all. Reset doesn't work, tried the plug the USB into the front jack on the computer, nothing. Tried the power adapter, nothing. NOTHING appears on the screen to show me that it's alive at all. When plugged into the computer the computer doesn't recognize it either.
help!

Hi Kellie,
Have you tried resetting it WHILE it's connected to your power adaptor?

HELP! iPod mini can't turn on!

I have tried ways to turn my mini on but it still cant be turned on. its's not even under hold. what do I do?

Yea I just went through the same problem - let it sit for a couple days w/o charging it, then try again to charge it from whatever source you have for charging. I know this may sound strange but it has worked for me after I completely depleted the battery. Yea I tried to reset thing 2 but how do you that when it won't even turn on??? If that don't work try it on another computer with a different cable than yours if possible - you know try to eliminate all the possibilities.

Ipod mini troubles: Help Needed

I really need help with ipod mini troubleshooting..
I've had my Ipod mini for about 3 years now and lately have been running into a few problems.
In the past few months:
-My Ipod's "battery meter" has been acting really strange, one second it may be reading as 3/4 full, and the next it shuts down saying that my battery has depleted, then a few minutes later it will be reading full again. And just to let you know, I always charge it overnight to avoid having a dead battery, and I always make sure to properly shut it off using "hold".
Resetting my ipod works sometimes, but other times doesn't..
Yesterday:
My Ipod is no longer responding at all, and I'm pretty sure I know why: Some careless person spilled some water near and on my ipod, I dried it off as soon as I could. It was working properly shortly afterwards, but a few hours later, it shut off saying that the battery was dead again, and a picture of a "cartoon ipod" with dead eyes("XX") appeared on my screen, and it said under the picture to go to "www.apple/support/ipod". This was when it wasn't connected to a power source. When I connected my ipod to my computer via USB, my itunes does not recognize that it is connected ("Do not disconnect" does not appear on my ipod) and a picture of a "dead battery" has appeared on my screen, it is not in the "recharging mode" either (with the picture of the battery moving).
I tried re-setting it numourous times, and always end up with either the "dead battery" picture, or the "dead cartoon ipod" picture on it.
Help would be greatly appreciated, as I use my ipod everyday for school and leisure.
Thanks.

I've tried that several times without luck.

Ipod mini recognized by pc and not itunes

So I'm this close to demanding a refunding and never looking at another ipod product ever again, but I'm going to make one last try. This is my second Ipod in having only owned it for 3 months.
My Ipod mini when plugged in is recognized by my computer and says the device is ready to be used. When I open itunes the icon for the ipod sometimes appears. When it does grace me with it's presence and I try to transfer music it doesn't actually do anything. It looks like it's transfering, but nothing new appears on the ipod when it is finished.
Buddy at apple says it might be a driver problem. How do I fix that? Windows is up to date and it's the one providing the drivers for the usb ports. My printer and camera all work just fine off the other ports in the grouping.
Someone must know something. And please no links to apple manuals or other info they have to offer. None of it works and I have tried it all. (ie restoring, restarting, software removeal and re installation, restarting computer, up to date programs....it goes on and on.)

ipod mini Windows XP

I hear ya angie, I and MANY others (see post started by KorosDragon) have had this problem. My problem is, sometimes I plug it in and everything is fine and dandy (iPod mini recognized by iTunes, I can transfer music fine, etc.), but other times like today, nothing is working. I'm at the point of selling this stupid thing and buying something more Windows-compatible, like an iRiver. So if you're under warranty and can just return yours and get a refund, I highly suggest you do so and find an mp3 player that's more compatible with Windows and a PC. Apple clearly has no clue as to what's going on with this issue (from reading other users' posts about how fruitless visits to the Apple Store have been), and it isn't in their best interest to find out.

Transfer music from CD-R to iPod mini

I had a friend remove my music on to CD-Rs to make space on my computer. Since then, my iPod crashed (apple trying to fix it) and I bought a new one. Anyone know how to get the music from the CD-R's to my ipod mini or do I have to copy it back to my computer? All the original songs are still listed in the library but the actual music is stored on the discs. Hope someone can help. thanks
iPod mini Windows 2000

If the music was stored on the CDs as an audio CD, then you should import them into iTunes as you would any other CD.
If the music was stored on the CDs as data (mp3 etc), then you can drag the contents into the iTunes library through Explorer.
Either way, the music will have to be in iTunes before you can put it on the iPod.

IPod mini is frozen

PLEASE HELP. my ipod mini got frozen suddenly. none of its 'click wheel' buttons are working. the hold button is okay as i can see the lock on the LCD when i set it to hold. i've tried to
reset the ipod mini at most 10 times and
(ii) restored it twice.
(iii)i've even tried to reset it while it is on power on my PC.
I can switch on the ipod only by switching the hold to on and then to off.
Please suggest something? Thanks.

Thank you very much for your response.
As suggested, I let my iPod battery run out and then plugged it back into my PC to charge. After about 1 hr., it was back to normal...I'm hoping!
BTW - is this a common occurance? The reason I ask is that I'm wondering if it happened naturally or if it is because earlier in the day my daughter dropped it. It worked fine after it was dropped, but 45 mins. later it locked up.
I have an opportunity to exchange it (iPod Mini, if damaged) for the Nano or regular iPod (since the mini's no longer exist), but if this is purely coincidental, then I would rather keep it.
Anyone have any suggestions or comments?
