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.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?
If not .............

HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Ipod shuffle does not repond any more

The ipod has worked for four months, though i havent used so frequently. And to day it does not respond any more or can not be found when inserted in may mac (OSX) or my pc (XP), they have both "high-power USB" and "high-speed USB", have also tried in a number of other pcs an macs with the same result. The Mac and the PC cant even find the ipod as an USB memmory/removable memmory, incredible!!!. Since it is not responding i cant make any "restore", and the restor seems to be the final solution to fix whatever problem got the ipod to get lame. The version on itunes is 6.

you're not the only one........i'm having the same problem
Here's my scenario,
i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

My new Mac Mini does not find any VST instruments and also ....

My new Mac Mini running iLife 08 does not find any VST instruments and also does not show all the midi instruments. Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks.

Is this a Intel Mac thing only, aka can G5/G4 Macs using GB08 use VSTs?
Ive got some great ones I'd love to use with GB. Seems kind of silly not to support VSTs, a standard for the music industry... ya know?

IPod Touch does not sync any info

hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

Ipod mini does not appear in windows explorer or I tunes

Two days ago, I purchased an IPod mini for my daughter to take to college. Directions seemed certainly clear enough to connect.
Unfortunately, I have spent two days trying to transfer music from itunes, on three different computers (two of of which are about a year old) utilizing at various times all of the USB ports available for use between the three computers.
I have updated windows and the Itunes and Ipod updater software for all of the computers.
I have reset and restored the Ipod numerous times.
On my laptop, the Ipod appears in Windows explorer but not under "Source" in Itunes. On another computer (a 3 year old Dell) it neither appears in Itunes or Windows explorer.
AT no time, does ITUNES automatically start when it is connected through a USB port.
Needless to say, I am frustrated and sorely disappointed that connecting this has become so difficult.
Before returning and giving up on the Apple, I thought I would try this discussion forum to see if anyone had any additional ideas.
Thanks!

Thanks for your recommendation! I did, at one point, try to get the apple logo to appear but it never did and I'm not sure why.
Meanwhile, we exchanged it for a different one.
This time it worked but only after the shop I bought it from updated the software for us.
The ipod, however, still doesn't automatically start itunes when it is connected; for some reason. Itunes has to be started, and the the Ipod needs to be connected. After a short while, it then appears under source and songs can be downloaded.
But, after all that, it now works!!!!!

Itunes 10.4 Windows 7 x64 Ipod touch does not restore

Itunes 10.4 erased all data on my Ipod touch on my brand new Gateway Windows 7 laptop. But, it does not want to restore. It stops at the the final restore step. Error code 6 from Itunes. Brand new machine, fresh install of Itunes 10.4 from Apple site. No problem with internet connection or any other USB devices connected. Tried all Apple online solutions , including disabling my firewall. Nothing seems to work. Giving up on my Itouch and Apple. Time to move on.

Hello Apple, this message is to alert you to an abnormality in the synchronization of an iPod touch 4 on a PC (in French). Problem: Dévut synchronization => instead of "Start" ("Début"), it's marked "Dévut", thank you to correct this problem, Thx.

Hello. Apple don't read these boards for bug reports, but the issue has been previously raised in another thread for which I have submitted a report.
To fix this issue for yourself in iTunes 10.6.1.7 open <Program Files>\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\Localizable.strings in a suitable text editor such as Notepad++ and replace dévut with début in line 8543 so
"4366.070" = "Attente du dévut de la synchronisation";
becomes
"4366.070" = "Attente du début de la synchronisation";
Translated by Google. Hope it makes sense.
Bonjour. Apple ne lisent pas ces conseils pour les rapports de bogues, mais la questiona déjà été soulevée dans un autre thread pour laquelle j'ai présenté un rapport.
Pour résoudre ce problème par vous-même dans iTunes 10.6.1.7 <Program ouvertFiles> \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ fr.lproj Files Localizable.strings dans un éditeur de texte approprié, tel que Notepad++ et remplacer dévut avec début dans la ligne 8543 de sorte
"4366.070" = "Attente du dévut de la synchronisation";
devient
"4366.070" = "Attente du début de la synchronisation";

Mac mini does not show any external hard rives! How to fix?

Hello,
My problem ist that my mac mini, i bougt in early 2010, does not show me any external harddrives. I had paragon instaled, after the trail version was untdatet my mac did not show any external hardrives.
Do you know how to hel ?
As i found out lately the harddrives i had plugt in to the mac are even not shown on other macs.

I don't know what you mean by "doing new concessions on DHCP"!!??? Have you tried using a static IP address to see if it works that way? Have you restricted the range of DHCP addresses available at your router? If you have maybe the other computers have used up the available range. Suggest you try a static IP address first, then we'll take it from there.

Ipod Touch does not restore

When i connected my itouch in the computer to charge it, it said that it needed to be restored and when I try to restore it, it says extracting software and after that it says verifying restoring.. and then the unknown error 3014 occurred message pops up. I have tried all the other options itunes has provided but nothing seems to be working.. Please help, I got the itouch as a present a week ago and I would really like if it would start working again.

i had this problem after updating the software and the only way i could get the iPod to work was to plug into a different computer and let it update the software to version 2.2.
before i did that it seemed like during the version 3 updated the software had been erased from the iPod because when I turned it on nothing would happen.
this seems to be a problem others are having, there are a few topics about it here.

Type opera:config in the address bar in your opera mini and connect.On the next screen, go to the last option which says "use bit map images for complex scripts" change this to yes. Scroll down and click save.DONE!Now type in the address you had an issue with and the page should load with proper letters instead of boxes.

TS1702 This is a reasonable start. However, my iPod Touch does not download any apps, nor does it update existing one's. Any idea what is the possible cause of this?

The app starts to appear, and immediately stays in "waiting". Never does go further than this.

What happens when you try to purchase apps?
When you try to update them?

The iPod does not play any songs, always stuck on 0:00. All the browsing features work.

The iPod classic does not play any of the songs. all the songs stop at 0:00 and don't play. How do I fix this?

Try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
