IPod mini broken...how can I fix it?!?!

Hi there,
Can anyone give me some advice on how to solve my iPod mini problem (and yes, I have followed the support instructions to ABSOLUTELY NO AVAIL).
My iPod mini always says I have no battery left, even when I have just charged it overnight. Now I have plugged it in, it is still saying the same message, and it will not let me drain the battery to reset it. It also does not recognised (i.e. light up) when I have plugged it in.
This is just the last straw in my absolute frustration with iPod, I have had the player for just over a year, and it seems that the shoddy manufacturing means your iPod will break just after a year, meaning you have to buy a new one. Well sorry, but I'm a poor student, and can't afford a new iPod. Is apple going to help??
Failing that, I appeal to fellow iPod users who may have got themselves out of this mess to share info on how you did it!!
Thanks!!

1. Is the iPod recognized by the computer?
Check out these links:

iPod Battery FAQ
Also, you may have to replace the battery....lithium-ion batteries lose their ability to hold charge over time. You can Google iPod Batteries, you will get results of do-it-yourself methods, and probably some services or places that will do it. I believe Apple will do it for $59.
I hope this helps!

I signed in as my dad's ID, and now, I'm signed in as my own ID. The problem is, when I try to verify any update, it asks for my dad's ID password instead of mine. How can I fix this?

You need to delete and redownload those applications. His Apple ID is stored inside them.

You can get a replacement by Apple, but you'll have to pay for it, if it is not covered by warranty:

My ipod touch froze how can i fix it

I can't get my ipod touch to unfreeze how can i fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod is disable, How can I fix the problem please help

My I-pod is disable, how can I fix the problem, Please Help

If it is disabled because of the passcode, see this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

Try the standard fixes one at a time:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup via iTunes
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you stiull have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod Touch is broken how can I fix it?

My ipod touch has been messed up for a while and I have already sent it in to the apple company once and I think they gave me a new one. It worked for about 2 weeks perfectly fine well then it started to freeze and every time I stopped playing with it for only a minute it would comepletely shut down and I had to press the home button and the power button for about 15 to 20 seconds sometimes it would not turn on at all and I would have to leave it alone for a while and then try it again.I also tried completely charging it and then playing on it and I would set it down for a minute try to turn it back on and it would say that it was dead right after I charged it all night. Well anyways I was tired of it freezing and shutting down and not turning on so I thought restoring it may help well I did that and now it says that the device is damaged and can not be activated for service. Well one time I set it in my sisters purse and when I took it out it had a crack and I am thinking that maybe that is what is causing all the problems, but the problems started before It got a crack in it. So I am not for sure what it is. Is there anyway to fix this without having to pay to get a new one? Can I send it to the apple company if I can not fix it even with the crack in it?

Apple will fix it with the crack but all repair will have to be paid for. The crack really ends your warranty for all problems.

There are third-party places that can fix it less expensively than Apple:

After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
And obviously I want to fix this.
Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
Thanks in advance!

Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

My ipod has disabled how can i fix it

my ipos has been disable how do i fix it

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
