  • Ipod Mini battery (1st generation)

    I bought my Ipod mini in february 2005 and since 4 months the battery no longer works. It has started to turning itself off 1 or 2 minutes after i opened it even when fully charged. I tried to reset it but it would work for a few minutes more. I downloaded the latest software & restored the ipod. But nothing works. What can I do?

    Thanks for your answer, but i knew it was a battery problem. How come after a year and a few months, the battery is broken? I heard there might be some probs with the 1 st generation Ipod mini battery. Is that true and will Apple replace it free? even if i'm not on the waranty anymore?

  • Ipod Mini Battery Drain

    My Ipod Mini battery drains down without any use. Is this normal. My HP Ipaq 4155 battery does not drain down without any usage. Can anyone help me please. Thanks, Jeff

    Well just an advice. Be sure that the alarm of your iPod is not set.

  • IPod Mini will not come on, Help please

    Yesterday I was leaving my house and I properly removed my ipod mini from my computer through Itunes. When i reached my car, i pressed the menu button and the ipod mini would not turn on. I figured i would wait. (Seeing as this has happend to me before and the ipod came on in a couple of hours) I tried to turn in on hours later that evening and the ipod would still not turn on and has continued to do that today. Please help if you have any knowledge on this matter.

    It sounds like a dead battery...was it charged with you disconnected? Do you have an itrip or other device plugged into it? My itrip kills my battery even when the red light isn't on and appears to be off. Hope this helps! Good Luck

  • My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean?

    My Ipod mini will not sync.  I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
    Thank you

    Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
    Open My Computer
    Right-click your iPod  -> click Properties.
    Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
    Check "Automatically fix file system error"
    k Start.
    Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
    Good Luck!

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?

  • My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

    My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

    It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
    Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

  • Battery not last longer

    Battery not last longer

    I have had it stop sending/receiving calls 3 times now... the first two times the problem went away the next day, but this time I am two days out and still not working. 
    I have not replaced my phone, I am afraid to do it because from another thread that I read, it usually doesn't fix the problem.
    Here is the other thread I found: I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.
    My problem started on day 15 so I couldn't just get a replacement at the store, had to get a rma to get a replacement.  If you have only had the phone for 3 days you might want to go to your store and have them replace it with a new one.  Me, if I could I would switch to another phone, but it looks like I am stuck with the S5 for now.

  • IPod mini battery lasts only 1h

    I own an iPod mini 4gb which I bought 3 months ago.. From the time i started using it I noticed that its battery life was low compared to the one written on its features (about 6hours).. Now after a full charge if i dont use my ipod for about a day then it wont turn on and if i turn it on right after it is charged then the battery indicator raches its lowest point within 2 mins and it remains there for about an hour and then my iPod runs out of battery.. Dows my iPod has a defective battery? If it does will I get a free repair(incuding shipping costs since i live in cyprus)? Is it a software problem?

    If your battery dies or cannot maintain a charge, Apple’s Service Request process will:
    - Replace it for free during the first 6 months of the warranty**
    - Replace it for a shipping charge (~$35) after 6 months and prior to the 1-year period **
    - Replace it for free if you have the additional AppleCare policy (this extends the warranty to 2 years)**
    - Replace it 'anytime' for a $59 charge (was $99 until 7-8-2005)
    b This is regardless of where it was legitimately purchased.
    i ** See the ‘Battery Test’ link below. This is how Apple determines if the battery is not performing. If the iPod’s battery lasts less than 50% of the ‘up to’ metric, then Apple considers it a problem. For example: This means less than 4 hours for a 1st Gen Mini and less than 9 hours for a 2nd Gen Mini. -- Best to perform this
    b specific
    i test yourself, prior to sending in the iPod for warranty work
    b and
    i understand the battery life metric for your unit.

    - reset, several times

  • IPod mini does not restore - Any advice?

    My iPod mini is frozen, after switch on, on the Apple logo.
    Doing many resets do not change anything. Battery is OK.
    I have tried restores, but the iPod is not recognized, when connected either through firewire, or USB, on 2 different MAC iBooks.
    All tricks given on Support page have been tried (the 5 R method), to no avail.
    Any tip or idea welcome.
    This iPod mini is itself an exchange for a previous mini that had battery problem, and is less than 4 months old!!

    "the iPod is not recognized, when connected either through firewire, or USB, on 2 different MAC iBooks."
    Given the above statement, I would say it needs replacing again. As a last resort, try this from an Apple troubleshooting article.
    In rare cases, iPod might get into a state in which it needs to be drained completely before it can be reset. If iPod didn't turn on after you reset it, follow these steps:
    Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
    Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or computer and reset it."
    After that, try the restore again.

  • Which ipod mini battery to get?

    i have been checking to get a new battery as the one is not staying chaged and mini is only 18 months old. i have found batteries they say is for ipod mini but they vary. they are all li ion 3.7 volt but the mah varies i have seen a 500mah which they say will run 4-6 which is comparible to original then there is a 600mah which runs 6-8 then staples has one and it is a 720mah. any idea which one to get macmall has one from sonnet which is a 600mah.
    thanks

    The bigger the mAH, the longer it will last.
    I believe the 1st gen Mini has a 630 mAH batt. Don't get any smaller than this.
