IPOD min frozen fol use with ITRIP

Left my Itrip on my mini and now can not play mt mini unless it's through the computer (windows). Have tried a reset but to no avail.. Any suggestions out there
Andy

I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

  • Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

    Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

    There is no doubt you can.
    When you say photos stored on it.. in what form are these photos?? Is this your iphoto library?
    If so using iphoto library on the TC has risks.. not necessarily viewing photos .. that should be fine. But if you have photos you are editing and wireless comms drop out leaving the library with a file open, it is likely to corrupt your library. Please check with the iphoto people on the discussion board if you want to go ahead for the dangers of using iphoto on any network drive.
    The TC is not designed as a NAS .. in particular it cannot back itself up, nor can Time Machine backup the TC. So any files on the TC are at risk. If you manage to corrupt the iphoto library without a current backup... does that worry you??

  • Can not sync ipod shuffle says : The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. But i have restore it several times and still not working

    Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?

    The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
    I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
    So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod).  The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter.

  • Only ipod mini can be charged with supplied usb cable? ..Really?

    I just read in fine print in an obscure part of support site that only the ipod mini can be charged with the "supplied" cable? Is this true? No, come on really? But, I...I,I,I just paid 500 clams for the top of the line shiznit and it doesn't come with any kind of charger? Is apple gonna send me back to the store? No way,I thought apple was down for the little guy...I gotta go buy an A/C charger? 30 more duckets?

    welcome to the forums!
    your ipod doesnt need a power ac cable. Every time you connect ur ipod to your pc, it should start charging the batterie auto matically. Just leave your pc on all night long with the ipod connected, and in the morning your good to go!

  • 1st Gen iPod Mini won't work with new version iTrip

    Hello all,
    I cannot get my new iTrip (which connects to the bottom of the iPod) to work with my girlfriends iPod mini 1st generation. The new iTrip works fine on my video iPod but not on her mini.
    We had the original iTrip and that worked fine but nothing is happening at all when the music is playing and the iTrip is connected. Anything i need to do or install to get this working? I have tried to search the discussions but failed to find a similar problem.
    Any help or info will be much appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Ah, i seemed to have fixed it! Well i've been trying for a few weeks now to sort this out and as soon as i put up a post it works. Oh well at least its working now. It seems like that the iPod needs to be playing BEFORE the iTrip is plugged in the turn it on.
    I'll get me coat...

  • IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

    I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
    Please Help.

  • IPod Mini frozen with charger symbol after iTunes 7 download

    I have connected my iPod mini to Apple store. I have been proposed to upgrade iTunes with version 7. I have accepted to dowload this new version. No problem during the downloading, but after that, my iPod was and is still frozen with charger symbol discplayed on the screen. And I know that the battery is charged.
    I have tried the 5S, reset,... No change. I am frustrated to have accepted this downloading. Does anybody have a suggestion ? Thanks

  • Freezing after use with Itrip

    Anybody experience their ipod freezing after using an itrip. Mine is now frozen! Nightmare. Ihave tried to reset it but nothing happens after the obligatory 6-10 secs. Any suggestions
    Andy

    is it safe (for the cpu, I mean) opening the Power Mac when it's on? Or I should boot with leaving the door open?!? However I have just powered the Mac on, left it alone for 20 min with only Folding@home running, come back, open 2 windows on SeaMonkey... and the computer froze when closing down one window, and it took 3 restarts to boot this time: first time it just stuck at the grey screen with the darker shade of grey apple in the middle (with a strange grey horizontal line just over and left from the apple), 2nd restart it booted up to the desktop view, the mouse was working but I couldn't do anything apart from moving it around the screen, 3rd time is now... I don't think it's overheating (but still...). Thanks for the help.

  • Mac Formatted iPod Mini, want to use on PC then back to Mac?

    I want to use my Mac formatted iPod Mini on a PC when I'm away for Christmas, but when I return home I want to use it on my Mac again. Is formatting the iPod to a PC required to do this? I don't want to lose all my music when I'm away because there will be no way to get it back till I return home. And, if I must format for a PC, what will happen when I plug it back into a Mac? Do I have to reformat again? Has anybody accomplished this successfully?

    An iPod formatted with Windows will work with Windows or Mac.
    An iPod formatted with Mac will not work on Windows. WIndopws cannot read Mac.
    If you format with Windows, you will not need to reformat with Mac.

  • IPOD MINI FROZEN WHILE CHARGING, PLUG WON'T UNPLUG

    Hi, I have an ipod mini that is frozen. I was charging it on a laptop w/out any apple ipod software installed, (does that make a difference?). When I woke up, it looked frozen and non responsive. I then hooked it up to my software installed computer, and it was not recognized. Also the plug does not disconnect from the unit. Help. Paula

    Paula,
    Let's clear up a misunderstanding here first of all.
    The iPod software is not "installed" on a computer, it's installed on the iPod. See my previous post on how to install the software to the iPod. Sure, the iPod updater is installed to the computer, but this is only a program that installs the software to the iPod.
    You can connect an iPod that has the software installed on it to any computer, the only thing that computer would need to work correctly with the iPod is to have iTunes installed on it.
    Have you tried resetting the iPod? It may take several attempts.

  • IPod Mini and Folder Icon with ! on Startup

    I upgraded to ITunes 7.0, and like a lot of people, had problems getting my Mini out of recovery mode. So I deleted 7.0, reinstalled 6.0.5, restored my Mini and transferred my library, and everything seemed to be working until I disconnected my Mini. My Mini booted up then froze up on that darned Folder icon with the "www.apple.com/ipod/support" url underneath it. Windows XP is only recognizing my Mini as a USB Mass Storage Device. ITunes recognizes it and can even play mp3s off of it. I tried restoring my Mini again and resynced it only to have it come out with the same problem.
    Any ideas on what's going on? How should I fix this?
    Thanks!!

    Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the source pane
    Under the "summary" tab, select the option to "enable disk use"
    Click Apply (lower right-hand corner)
    Exit iTunes (don't eject the iPod first)
    Click on Start, right click on MyComputer, and click Manage
    Click on Disk Management in the left-hand side
    Wait for it to finish connecting (it might take a few minutes)
    You'll see your iPod listed under your main hard drive. If it's a 4GB iPod Mini, it will show a capacity of about 3.72GB
    Make SURE you've found the iPod
    Right click on it and click format
    Set the options as follows:
    *Volume Label = iPod
    *File System = FAT32
    *Allocation unit size = default
    Leave "quickformat" unchecked, and click OK to start the format.
    This may take a little while to complete
    If it doesn't complete successfully, try it a second time.
    If it does complete successfully (first or second attempt) go back to iTunes and restore it again.
    Also, make sure you're not unplugging the iPod while it has "do not disconnect" on the screen.

  • Cannot load ipod mini software and use i pod

    HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

    It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
    I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 - How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
    you should try that first.  If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
    One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive.  Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is."  When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful.  Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
    You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings.  Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
    Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen.  If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363 - iPod devices with a Click Wheel
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes.  Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.

  • IPod mini "frozen"?

    So today I was on my merry way to school, simply updating my mini when it just... stopped. This has never happened before, in fact, I have never had problems with my mini. It stopped on the usual "Do not disconnect." screen, so I waited a few minutes to see if it was simply finishing up or disconnecting... in iTunes, it was no longer updating. So I press the eject button, it ejects successfully on my computer, but it is still on the "Do not disconnect." screen. I unplugged it from the computer, and it does not change. I can't turn it off or anything. Help?
    Oh, and when I plug it back in, Windows says that it has malfunctioned and to try resetting my computer... which I have done. And nothing is helping. Thanks in advance!

    The suggestions here should help: What to do if Ipod appears frozen or doesn't respond.

  • Please help - ipod mini frozen - can't reset or restore!

    I saw several posts on this topic, and followed the advice given. I've tried to reset the ipod by toggling the hold switch and then holding down the menu and select button at the same time (at least 20x's, and being careful to only hold down the correct buttons). Not having luck with resetting, I tried to do a restore, however when I start to run the ipod updater, and it asks me to connect the ipod, the updater doesn't recognize it.
    It's frozen in the pause position at the start of a song and nothing I do helps! Although it's still under warranty I really don't want to have to send it in to apple, so I sure hope someone can help me.

HELP APPLE!!! the tech said if it doesnt work i should send it in and gave me the info to mail it. the website he gave me hasnt got any info on requesting a mailing box and warranty service. i only have about two months left on my warranty and i hate to think they are stalling me until it expires. please apple, call me and tell me this isnt true!!!!

  • Ipod minis FROZEN! HELP!

    Hi, I was listening to music on my ipod (4 gb) and i turned it down for about 2 minutes then when i went to turn it back up, nothing happened! it's completely frozen and it doesnt respond when i press the buttons or plug it into the computer!...Its never been dropped and it's fairly new. Help!

    My Ipod Mini too has just recently completely locked up. The screen remains locked at the same thing with no music playing and no apparent response to any keys. Yes I've tried soft reset by holding the select and menu buttons many times (and I know how it should work) It too will not connect to my computer in any way (computer doesn't know it's there mini remains locked. Yes I've tried Itunes, Ipod Updater, and of course windows it's not connecting. I will try letting the battery run down but for now what can I do! I think I'll see what the people at my Apple store say Friday.
    Edit: What would be good ways to accelerate discharging with out being able to actually give the mini new commands? Would connecting it to a powered down computer possibly help?
