Ipod Mini--- no longer selling?

Are they no longer selling "ipod minis?" have they been replaced by the ipod nano? that would be really awful because I was just going to buy one. My reason to thinking that they aren't selling them anymore is in the Apple Store Website they dont mention the ipod mini in things you can buy..so please tell me if you know anything! thanks for your help..

Sonya,
"Does anyone know when they started to discontinue the ipod mini? because then I will know how much of a chance i have to get an ipod mini from a store. its amazing, theyve only been around for about a year and now they are already gone."
Your sense of timing is as goofy as your sense of time. The Mini has been around for longer than a year. Apple didn't "started to discontinue" the Mini - it DISCONTINUED the Mini when the Nano appeared, just over a month ago. Many retailers still have a supply of Minis.

  • Ipod Mini no longer recognized - can't reload itunes 6

    We downloaded Itunes 6 this past Saturday but last night the system no longer recognizes that the Ipod Mini is there and says that the program for communication with the ipod is missing.
    When I try to download Itunes 6 to reinstall, the automatic download never starts.
    Why is Itunes 6 such a problem? How do I get back to a working state?

    hi Andrew!
    last night the system no longer recognizes that the Ipod Mini is there and says that the program for communication with the ipod is missing.
    just checking something before we proceed. are you also getting an "Ipod Service Error" when you click on your ipod updater?
    (if so, there's a chance we may be able to fix this without having to resort to a reinstall.)

  • IPod mini no longer visible on Mac or in iTunes

    My daughter's pink iPod mini is no longer visible on her iTunes, or on our Mac. My son has been to the web site, has followed all steps to reload software, restore iPod, he's been quite methodical. We have OSX 10.3.4, iPod software has been updated, and we haven't changed computer wiring configurations. Using this same computer and the same iPod cable, my son's iPod mini is visible on iTunes and on the Mac. Can anyone please offer advice on what we should try next?

    Had the same problem try restarting your ipod mini.
    be sure to update your ipod software

  • Cannot play bought music on iPod Mini (any longer)

    My iPod Mini refuses to play (any longer!!!) the songs I bought in the Music Store. It just skips the songs from the moment they are activated. In iTunes the music is played without any problems.

  • IPod Mini No Longer Recognized by G5 10.2.8?

    I connected an iPod Mini to a new iMac with 10.4.4 to charge it and now the Mini is not recognized by a G5 with 10.2.8. I read that 10.2.8 does not support USB 2.0. For some reason, the iPod was updated to USB 2.0 and the driver is not downward compatible. So, I puchased a firewire-dock cable. The iPod Mini is still not recognized. Apple's support suggests the 5 Rs:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950
    I can't try the last one, Restore, because the Mini is not recognized. How can you Restore if the iPod Mini is not in the iTunes Source List?

    Never mind. I used the iPod Updater 2006-06-28 to restore and everything's fine.

    My ipod mini was working fine but the past week I have been unable to get it to show up in iTunes! It is fully charged (I am able to charge via my computer) but still no go on showing up.
    The "Update iPod" is greyed out and when I go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/iPod it says that iPod is not detected. Please help!!!

    Problem: itunes wasn't showing my ipod so basically they werent connecting
    What I did:
    First I went here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    I followed: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall , Restore
    Didn't work so I went to the link that has this article under "An 'iPod Service Error alert' or 'Please Reinstall iTunes' message appears in Windows" (link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716)
    I followed the instructions there
    Didn't work so I went to the link meant for LAPTOP owners link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343
    Somewhere between the "An 'iPod Service Error alert' or 'Please Reinstall iTunes' message appears in Windows" Link and the Link for Laptops it started working!
    Try it out, let me know how it goes. GOODLUCK

  • Ipod mini no longer recognized, I have tried everything

    About a month ago, the computer stopped "seeing" my Mini. It would charge (show the usual charging big battery logo) but it would not be seen in device manager, my computer, itunes or real player. The computer is a Windows computer running XP home. This is a 6 GB ipod running 1.4.
    I have reset the ipod, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ipod software and itunes. I have reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. I have used different USB ports.
    I cannot restore since the Ipod updater does not recognize it, either.
    Any ideas at all? The Ipod works fine, I just can't transfer new music onto it which is making me nuts.

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various solutions that you can try to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
    Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
    Also See:

    If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.

    The above tool looks like it removes (or it's supposed to remove) Apropos adware. Apropos is a known cause of this problem: iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty
    ... but other adware using the ContextPlus engine has also been known to cause similar effects.
    If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

  • Ipod mini no longer recognized by itunes

    Hi, I know this might sound like everyone else's problem, I've had my mini for a little less than a year now and it has worked fine but all of a sudden I can't transfer any songs as itunes wont recognize the ipod when i connect it.
    I have tried resetting it a number of times and reinstalling itunes etc but no luck.
    When plugged into the computer it will start charging but when I go to reset it I don't even get the apple picture anymore it just goes onto whatever song I listened to last
    I was transferring songs last night and it was fine but when i plugged it back in to transfer more it wont show up
    any other suggestions? before i try restoring it???

    I'm an idiot and get impatient and as a result of that when I was resetting the ipod I wasn't holding down the select button, only the menu button on the clicky wheel, the apple icon eventually showed up and then my ipod appeared again in itunes.
    Sorry to get anyone's hopes up but after 84764634 goes at trying to fix it I eventually found what I was doing wrong.

  • "Playlists no longer exsist" message in iTunes when syncing my iPod Mini

    Whenever I plug my mini into my itunes the error message: "songs cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
    I've tried restoring and reinstalling the software but it doesn't seem to be working. What's going on?

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Mini. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Syncing Music to iPod
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

  • My first gen ipod mini does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It says "cannot write or read". Ist this the end?

    My first gen ipod mini (that I use in my car) does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It basically says "cannot write or read". Is this the "end of life" of that ipod?

    You mean you can't get to the Summary pane?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Ipod Mini battery - how long?

    I have a 2nd gen Ipod mini 4Gb. I estimate that the battery lasts 10 - 12 hrs max with 50% vol and minimal hunting round the menu. I have just got an itrip and despite griffin's statements, it looks like its chewing battery!
    How long do you folks get with normal operation and how long with an itrip mini attached?

    I have a 2g 4GB mini and the itrip, On a few long car trips I've found that a full battery will last 7-8 hours, beyond that I had to buy a car charger. On about 10+ car trips the battery has lasted into the 7-8 hour range.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod mini only plays MP3, no longer plays iTunes m4p files

    I connected my friends Windows formated iPod mini (4gig) to my Mac so we could transfer a song she purchased through iTunes 6. Initially there was a dialog box that wanted to update the software on the iPod. Since she had never updated her iPod we didn't choose to do that. The iPod showed up in iTunes fine, and we then authorized the Mac with her account.we transferred the song. The song would play fine from the iPod mini through iTunes, but the minute we disconnected from the computer and tried to play through the iPod, it would skip all the protected m4p files and only play the MP3 files and regular AAC unprotected files. All the protected iTunes songs will no longer play. She has since updated her iPod with the latest software from her windows, and we have deauthorized the Mac, but still the same issues. We then reauthorized the iPod on the Mac and still nothing. Any ideas?

    Upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 fixes the problem. At least it did on my 3G Mac formated iPod. The mini is working as it should be we restored it to factory settings and got the basic functionality working again. iTunes 6.0.1 allows the 3G iPod to play my recently purchased music, previously puchased music and books, as well as all the other MP3 and non-purchased AAC encoded music. I'm glad I didn't have to restore the 3G 30 gig iPod since that would have been a lot of work.
    Thanks for the fix Apple!
