How to sync an older Ipod Mini to a 2010 version of itunes?
I recently found my old Ipod Mini (2nd generation). It still works, but I am not able to connect or synch it with my newer version of itunes. What can I do to clear out what is on there and put in my music from my 2010 itunes?! I have an Ipod Classic that I am able to connect to connect ot my itunes, but I would like to know any possible way I can get my music onto my old Ipod Mini.
Thanks!!
Hello EQLC,
I understand your iPod mini is not able to sync to iTunes on your computer. Are you working with a Mac or a PC? I'll include some troubleshooting steps for both operating systems below:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support

How do I play my iPod Mini on my work computer using iTunes 7?
I had iTunes 6 on my work computer and I could easily play songs from my iPod Mini while I worked. Then I downloaded iTunes 7. Now I cannot play music from my iPod Mini. iTunes 7 wants me to sync my iPod Mini. But this erases my iPod Mini. Does anyone know how to play music from an iPod on another computer using iTunes 7?
Is your ipod set for "Manually manage music"?
If not, that would explain the problem. Mine is currently set to manually manage music and I'm using it on my work PC with iTunes7
There are however, alternatives to using itunes to playing music from your ipod if you can't get it working...e.g. Pod Player (http://www.ipodsoft.com/site/pmwiki.php?n=podplayer.Homepage)
Hope that's of some help

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my iPod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?
Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?
- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. -
My pc crashed and i no longer have the music i used to have, how can i sync my ipod w/ out loosing all of my music. and also how do i update my ipod only has a partial version of ios4
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. USe your backup copy to put everything on the new computer, then sync.

how about updating an older ipod which does not offer "software update" as a choice when one taps on General under Settings?

Unless you have a 2nd generation iPod Touch, in which case 4.2.1 is the highest possible. -
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.

how do i sync itunes to my ipod classic with the newest version of itunes?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing and follow the instructions. -
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.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?
If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes. -
I recently updated my ipad and then I connected with my computer for sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost all of the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?
As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Not only does quicktime sometimes stop playing videos, now it won't scale a HD video down to 640x360. It just comes out black. I can scale to 960x540 no problem... How strange.
