Ipod Mini Exclamation Folder

I have a 4Gb iPod Mini and it has a folder with an exclamation sign next to it.  I have tried resetting it without joy.  It won't go into disk mode.  My PC won't recognise it at all so neither will I-tunes.
Can anybody help or shall I just throw it away?

It's certainly your choice to trash/replace your iPod, and I wish you a good deal if you purchase a replacement media player.
Remember that you can always consult an Apple Genius at the Apple Store to see if it's ultimately cheaper to repair the iPod as opposed to replacing it. If you're thinking of replacing the iPod with another iPod, I'd advise you to bring your malfunctioning iPod to the Apple Store, see what your repair options are, then determine to repair your current iPod or replace it since you'll already be in the store to purchase one. And if you're really lucky, the Apple Store might offer you a discount on a new iPod if you give them your old one.
But even if they don't at least they'll probably be kind enough to let you use their trash can for your iPod that has sadly moved on to the afterlife.
Best of luck!

  • Ipod Mini Beeping, folder icon, battery icon, doesn't work

    My iPod mini, has a beeping sound when attached to the USB port and the folder icon keeps coming up, then the Apple logo come up, then the battery icon come up. iTunes cannot see it either.

  • 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.

  • Can't Restore Ipod Mini

    Hi can anyone help with this ?
    My daughter's ipod mini has folder with !mark. My computer doesn't recognise it in normal mode, when I set to disc mode and try to restore the software I get a message to say 'can't mount ipod'. It's fully charged.
    I am stuck and would be grateful for any help

    If the iPod is recognized by the computer whilst in disk mode, you can try changing the drive letter by going to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Disk Manager with the iPod attached and right clicking on your iPod and choosing Reassign. Make it a much higher letter, like I:
    Note this can happen when your boot drive is not C:, or when you have a network drive that conflicts with the iPod assignment, or when you have other portable storage devices that are sometimes attached. It's always safe to move the iPod well away from the lower drive letters.
    Do also try other ports, preferrably those on the rear.

  • IPod mini went through wash and displays folder with exclamation point HELP

    My friend has an ipod mini and i guess it went through the wash and now it will turn on but it displays the folder and exclamation point. I tried resetting it with menu and select but it goes right back to the folder after reset. I have already read apples document so please don't post it. My question is do you think it is the logic board or hard drive that needs to be replaced? It seems if it were the logic board then it wouldn't turn on at all. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth fixing or not. Is there any way i can tell for sure which component is bad? Thanks

  • IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point after discon

    Since I always ignore instruction booklets with new devices, I failed to notice the warnings with regard to configuring my iPod mini on a Windows PC. I did not install the included software first and I tried to sync with iTunes (my girlfriend already has an iPod mini so iTunes was already installed). As a result I ended up with folder exclamation point icon.
    I tried the folowing already:
    1) Reformatting the disk through windows explorer
    2) Reset:
    The folder icon with exclamtion point appears after reset
    3) Running Updater 2004-04-28:
    After plugging in the iPod at the prompt, the message "iPod updater can;t install firmware on connected iPod. The iPods hardware and the updater firmware are not compatible." I got the same message when doing the same thing in 'disk mode'.
    4) Running the software on the disc that came with it:
    When prompted I connected the iPod to the PC. I get a message "Your iPod has been connected. Please wait while the system recognises the device". And then nothing happens.
    Please can anyone advise me how to fix this problem?

    Ok guys!! I did it!! I fixed my iPod! I want to thanks Apple for the great help they gave me (I'm being sarcastic)!
    I remember that I downloaded iTunes 4.9 and the iPod updater from 2 two weeks ago on my neighbor's computer.
    As this problem (IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when I turn it on) only happened since I upgraded iTunes to 5.0 version and iPod updater, and after one and a half day calling Apple, reading the entire web site looking for an answer, discussing with a lot of people about this problem and nothing happened, I wanted to give the last try and went to may neighbor's computer!!
    I turned on the iPod updater.
    When it said i had to connect my iPod I did it
    Then I pressed RESTORE
    After that I plug it in the A/C adapter
    It worked
    I connected the iPod to the computer again
    iTunes worked and my iPod is working as a new one!!

  • Unable to update Ipod mini / Computer not responding to Ipod

    I recently switched computers and I installed the iPod mini software onto my new computer. This worked at first but when I started moving music from iTunes onto my iPod from my new computer, the downloads would stop even though the music had not been fully downloaded. When I checked my iPod, the new music was not there. I downloaded the new iTunes and the new updater. I then tried to update my iPod software but it said "Firmware failure" and then my iPod mini started showing me the exclamation mark folder every time I turned it on. I tried to restore the iPod using my new computer but everytime I tried to do that, it showed "Firmware failure." Next, I plugged my iPod mini into my old computer and used an old update program to restore the iPod and it worked. When I plugged the iPod back into my new computer, the computer would take a long time to recognize the player but iTunes wouldn'recognize it at all. When I try to update the ipod mini software, it shows initializing for a long time before the program crashes.
    What should I do to get this ipod working again?

    ok try this ...... this is the totally resetting things to do !!!!! first holthe center and the menu down when the apple comes then hold the center and the play down...... then it should be totally reset.... then install the new ipod updater and itunes 4.9 and then try if it works ...........

  • My Macbook Pro will no longer recognize my iPod mini...

    My iPod mini has worked well for over two years now. I haven't connected it since I downloaded the latest iTunes (7.6.2). I also just dropped it on a relatively hard floor (thin carpet, with tile underneath it). When I picked it up and plugged it in, it showed a folder icon with an exclamation point. It does not seem to be charging and it is not recognized by my computer at all. I tried the the first 4 of the 5 R's and nothing happened. I cannot restore my iPod because my computer won't recognize it, whether in Finder, iTunes or in the iPod updater program. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is my iPod broken?

    Hi there joe.l,
    If I understand correctly your computers DVD/CD drive isn't seeing your install disc to boot from. If it is also not recognized in the OS when you boot, I would recommend the following section of this article to help you out here:
    Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer
    Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
    Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
    Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
    Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
    OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
    If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • IPod Mini need help!

    Hello everybody!
    Lately, I have been having trouble with my pink iPod Mini (1st generation). I was updating my iPod Mini with the latest restore, and it completed, and required me to plug the ipod into an external power charger. I was not at home, and I did not have the charger at that time. I waited until I got home, and I plugged it into the external charger, I unplugged it about 45 minutes later, and every since, all it has shown me was a folder with an exclamation point next to it.
    I have tried: Resetting the iPod, Restoring the iPod, Uninstalling the iPod Software and iTunes, and then reinstalling those programs. Plugging the iPod into an external power source, using different USB Port, restarting the computer, and Diagnostic Mode.
    I was planning on sending it to Apple for repair, but it is not under warranty, and it might just go back to eBay where it came from if I can't get it working.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    tvaughn05

    Ipod displays folder with an exclamation point. I had the same proble with you before, but my iPod is 3rd generation. Fortunately, when my iPod was acting up it still under warranty so Apple changed my iPod to brand new one. It's your choice to either send it to Apple for service or sell in eBay. Anyways, I don't trust eBay in terms of electronics.

  • 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”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    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”
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2364921&#2364921
    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)
    http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
    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
