    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,wheni finally get apps sent to my ipod touch they are still saying "waiting..." and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still haven't dowloaded one app successfully.What's going on with my ipod?

    My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,when i finally get apps sent to my ipod touch thay are still saying "waiting...."and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still HAVE YET TO DOWNLOAD ONE APP SUCCESSFULLY! What's going on with my ipod & how do i fix it?

    Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, are you still connected to a network?  Either way try connecting to a different one and downloading another FREE app to see if that helps.

  • Having TWO problems with my iPod mini.

    I've had my ipod mini for a year and a half. I only ever use it 2-3 times a week for 30 mins at a time at the gym, and sometimes in the car. Already I'm having two problems.
    Problem #1- Battery. I've noticed alot of other people on here seem to be having this problem aswell. I'll charge it fully and leave it in the charger over night. I disconnect it, Start playing it, and 1 or 2 songs later I get the message saying "battery low, please connect to power source" It just came OFF a power source. I have 2 different ways that I charge my ipod. I use the computer. And I have a clock radio that it sits in to play the ipod and charges it at the same time. It dosen't matter which I use.. I have the problem either way.
    Problem #2- When the battery actually is working(which is rare) sometimes the music sounds like it's under water. Basically, The music plays, but with very low bass. I usually either listen to it through my car adapter, or through my headphones and I get the same problem either way. This isn't all the time though.
    I've never dropped it, gotten it wet or left it in the sun. It's had no physical damage at all.
    Does anyone know what may me going on? I've followed the steps and tips from other posts on the battery issue but nothing has worked for me. The only thing I can think of (and probably the only thing anyone can recommend) is that I send it in to get it repaired. However, I refuse to do that. I don't think I should have to pay to repair apple's 1.5 year old products especially since I paid close to $300 for it in the first place. I also don't want to receive a refurbished one, I want MINE fixed or a brand new one(which I know won't happen).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    1. Place 1 drop of rubbing alcohol on the home button.
    2. Press the button repeatedly with pencil eraser making sure to get liquid into area surrounding button.
    3. Dry off area with paper towel.
    4. Press home button until it works again.

  • What's wrong with my iPod Mini?

    I've had my iPod Mini for coming up to a year now. But for a while, it's been playing up heaps!
    As soon as I charge it, it does say it's full, but as soon as I put a song on, it gives me the "No battery power remains" message and turns off. I can turn it back on sometimes, but it keeps on doing it!
    Eventually, I might get 1 hour of play time out of it before it goes completely flat. But I do have it on all the power saving settings and stuff.
    What is wrong with it?

    hmm, im not too sure but mine will do the same sometimes and mine now will only be like 3/4 power when it says its charged lol. play time is really going down the drain too.

  • IPod Shuffle with older iPod Mini

    Hello,
    My oldest daughter has been using an iPod Mini for quite a while and now has the newest version of iTunes on our computer, with basically no problems. I got my middle daughter an iPod Shuffle for Christmas. My oldest is terrified to hook up the Shuffle to our computer because she's afraid iTunes will "recognize" a blank iPod and erase all of her 800 some songs she has on iTunes now. Does anyone know if this is the case or will it just recognize the Shuffle as a new, separate iPod? Pleas, please email me any responses, my middle daughter is dying to try out her Shuffle. Thank you so much!
    Diane in NY

    The shuffle will not remove any contents from itunes. The ipod would be viewed as a seperate device and should work with no issues. This article will explain

  • What docking stations work with the ipod mini gen 2?

    Looking to get a docking station for my ipod mini gen 2.  Are there any out there that are known to work?

    Well, I don't have any specific recommendations, since I've never used them myself.  There are so many choices, just make sure the specs say it works with your older iPod model.
    If you get a "plain" dock (like that Universal Dock), or an older version (no remote control) for cheap on eBay, it's not just for connecting to computers.  It has a audio output jack (that gets a high quality line out signal from the iPod's dock connector).  You can connect that to your stereo system's auxilliary input, or to any powered speakers (the type people connect to computers).  For power, connect the docking cable to a USB power adapter instead of a computer's USB port.
    And you can connect it to your computer too.  Plus, if the speakers go bad (or you want better ones), you don't have to throw the whole gadget away.  Just get new speakers, keep the dock.

  • Problem, with corrupted ipod mini

    ok, well my friend has an ipod mini, and recently it has corrupted. ive been lookin on the apple website as well as many others, and could not find it. i was hoping that some one could host it for me. please and thank you.

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when you turn it on.
    Try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    When restoring the iPod, put it into disk mode first.

  • What is going on with my iPod classic replacements?

    Okay, so I'm on my 4th replacement of my iPod classics. Still having hard drive issues, the songs are skipping the iPod shuts down randomly and it has 0 allocs and bad sectors in the SMART data yet 16 retracts after 2 weeks. I'm also getting excessive vibrations and clicking from the internals all pointin to yet another failing hard drive. I'm furious this was 140 dollar swap for my old dead iPod and every iPod I've had replaced, this being the 4th for hard drive issues. I pointed out the 12 retracts it had on it before even leaving the store to the genius and he said it was fine yet now I'm getting hard drive failure symptoms again. What is going on because I'm so close to writing the attorney general for apple replacing my broken iPod with "new" iPods that I point out to be broken yet these "geniuses" think they are fine

    Yep, I think that Genius, deosn't know what a lemon looks like, it is a case of bad lemon sold, since you have already pointed out the bead retract numbers.

  • Trouble with my ipod mini

    after a month of having my ipod mini. I've been having trouble with it, since I had a 15gb before. I know that this is unusual. for instance, a week ago my ipod wasn't responding at all, dead as can be. then I hooked it up to my computer and proof! the Mac icon is showing. now a couple of days ago, it happened again. but this time nothing is working, what can I do?

    The most likely cause is a worn out battery that cannot hold a charge.  When it is connect to USB, it gets power from that connection so it works as expected.  When you disconnect it, the battery cannot hold the charge for more than a few seconds, and it dies.
    Having the battery replaced by a shop is likely to not be economical for an old iPod mini, compared to the current gen 16GB iPod nano that is available on the Apple refurb page for $99

    (It is not designed to be taken apart by the user.)

  • Av Component Cable with the iPod Mini?

    My son bought me the AV Component Cable for my Mini to link only the audio with my RCA inputs of my preamp. I couldn't find anything in Apple Support that says I can do this, and I talked with an Apple tech rep who didn't know but thought by referring to the specs for the Mini that it is NOT compatible. Now granted, I could just open the box and find out, but I thought I 'd ask to see if anyone has tried to use this cable for this purpose and succeeded or failed.
    Any takers?

    AV Component Cable - I need to know more details about this cable.
    But if it came with an iPod dock (the dock that allow you to place your iPod mini with it), what you need to do is to connect the AV component cable between the dock and your preamp as follow:-
    1.The jack of the dock (in red colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in red colour of Right Channel)
    2. The jack of the dock (in white or black colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in white or black colour or Left Channel)
    In case it did not come with the dock then what you need to do is either :-
    A. Plug your cable with the dock of your iPod Mini (the buttom of your iPod) or,
    B. Plug your cable with the headphone jack of your iPod Mini
    Then connect to other end of your cable with your Preamp (Audio in)..

  • Display help anyone with an ipod mini

    hi guys,
    i have an ipod mini with a cracked display the ipod itself still works like the backlight and the clicker, can anyone tell me how to get into play a song from the main menu using the sounds of clicks eg. 2 clockwise enter, 1 click down enter, just so i can play music while i enquie about getting it fixed. many thanks. joe

    Hello Joe,
    Sorry to hear about the cracked display. One solution is to find different pictures or videos of each menu that can be found on the iPod mini and use that to determine how many clicks need to be heard before you have reached the right menu.
    For example, I did a quick Google search for "iPod menus" and here is the first result that came up.

  • Can I charge a new iPod Nano 8 GB with a iPod Mini charger?

    I gave my wife an iPod Nano (black, 8 GB) for christmas. After christmas we discovered, that there is no charger, it only charges when you connect it to a computer.
    Unfortunately that is not how she uses her iPod. She doesn't use a computer. I pour her favorite music into the iPod, and that's it. 8 GB is more than adequate - she doesn't update the iPod frequently. Her last iPod (a Mini) had the same music for more than a year and a half - untill she lost it.
    So ... I guess I could buy a charger for her. Og bring my Powerbbok home every night just to charge her iPod.
    But we have the charger from her lost iPod Mini. Does any of you know, if we can use that? The charger has a firewire plug and the cable is firewire in one end and the other end fits perfectly in the Nano. However, I am afraid to fry the Nano.
    The charger says 12V .67A
    The print on the iPod Nano reads 5-30V 1A Max.
    Kind regards,
    Peter

    Yes, you can use the charger (and cable) that came with the mini to charge the nano.
    Cheers!
