How can i restart my ipod mini 3rd generation?

My iPod mini 3rd generation froze when I plugged it into my laptop using my Apple USB cable. The same thing happened a year ago to my iPod touch 4th generation, which was never resolved. How do I restart my iPod mini?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How can i sycronize my ipod mini 2nd generation with itunes 11.1.5.5.

    Hi,
    I found my old ipod mini 2nd generation and I would like to update it
    my current version of itunes is 11.1.5.5 and my operating system is windows 7
    the original cd doesn´t work anymore.
    can anybody please help?
    Thanks

    You should definitely not use the very old version of iTunes on that CD.
    The latest version of iTunes works fine with my ancient iPod from 2003.  It should work with your iPod mini.  What happens when you connect it to your computer running iTunes?
    The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar (along left side of window).  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  If the iPod is working, and there is no problem with the USB docking cable or USB port on the computer, your iPod should appear in the sidebar under DEVICES.

  • My iPod Mini 3rd Generation isn't recognized in My Computer or iTunes. I can't even restore it without iTunes. The same thing happened with my iPod Nano 3rd Generation, but that one worked for a while, and suddenly went unrecognized.

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • How do you connect an IPod touch 3rd generation to wifi using wifi protected setup?

    Hi all.
    I have an IPod Touch 3rd Generation using software 5.0.1 that I am trying to connect to my wifi.  I just got a Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway router (model #DPC3825 if any of that matters).  It's default setup is wifi protected setup which invovles the pushing the button on the router or entering a pin.  I cannot find any pin on the router nor can I find anyway to enable something on the IPod for the push button.  Any advice on how to get this connected?  Is there an app I have to download or a setting I need to change?
    Thanks

    I have that same model modem.  Here is the user guide for that modem as mentioned by lllaasss above.

    Thanks for help
    (and sorry for my english, I'm swiss xD)

    You cannot.
    You would have to buy a new one.
    Apple will gie you a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

    If my computer crashed and I have a different one now how can I save my music on my ipod that is already there? When I tried to use the new computer it said the would lose whats on the ipod.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After all the stuff is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
