Correct. It has been discontinued by Apple.
There may be a few places with some still available but don't hold your breath.

IPod Mini not recognized by iTues or Computer since last time I connected.

I am creating this as a new post to get some data not a fix. If you find an answer start a new post.
Around Thanksgiving my iPod Mini that worked for over a year is no longer recognized by iTunes (Actually it shows as a bad file folder then dissapears in Windows Explorer).
I did everything the trouble shooting instructions suggest at least 5 times, except I can't restore because the computer does not recognize the iPod.
I was about to give up on iPods when... in a meeting at work I learned 3 out of 5 iPod users said the same thing happen since Thanksgiving and the others don’t think they have sync'ed yet.

Ipod mini not recognized by iTunes

My iPod mini is recognized by my USB drive and shows up in my computer and device manager says it's functioning properly, but it's not showing up in iTunes, therefore I can't update or restore it. Help.
Also, would I loose all my songs if I had to delete and then reinstall iTunes.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

Ipod mini not recognised by Itunes

Hi All,
Have bought a used Ipod mini from ebay as an xmas pressie ro ise with a Windows XP/Vista laptop. when I open Itunes it won't appear under the 'devices' pane.
the ipod came with a usb cable ok but am not sure if I need an additional software cd for the mini as well and where I would be able to get it.
Have tried the 5Rs with no joy and have the latest version of itunes installed.
Any suggestions appreciated
Selina

I have just one suggestion left.
Although you might not have the same issue as the title of this article, I suggest you read it.
There could be a problem with loading the 'iPodDriver.kext' file.

Ipod mini not being recognised!

My ipod mini is all of a sudden not being recognised on i-tunes. I have tried using a different cable, different pc etc etc.
What happened!

when I turned on my ipod mini today, a sad face with an exclamation point came up! I haven't used it for about 3 weeks and thought it was a battery discharge problem. Before I connected it to my laptop, I update the iTunes software and as soon as I connect the iPod, the sad face comes up again, followed by a few seconds of the frozen battery and then blank! I tried restoring but can't put in in Disk Mode.
Any idea what can be happening?

Ipod Mini not going to sleep....

Hi, I have managed to change the battery of my Ipod mini, but still after the Ipod is fully charged the battery life still lasts only a few hours....
My assumption after reading all the technical documents, is that even though the Ipod mini appears to go to sleep (either by itself or after the play / pause) button is pressed for a few seconds, that in fact the Ipod isn't a sleep and the battery runs down....
I have updated to the latest 1.4.1. software... only recently happened, and replaced the battery (but perhaps it didn't need it).
And it's 14 months old so out of warranty...
Does anyone know of issues with sleep mode not working correctly? Is there a software fix for this????
Cheers

I think I'm having the same problem - let me know if you find an answer and likewise I'll do the same. Is going to sleep the same as turning off? Mine doesn't even turn off when I press down the play/pause button!

Second hand ipod mini- not working?

Try Restoring the iPod with the most recent iPod Updater (version 1.4.1 I believe). To get it, click the iPod+iTunes link at the top of this screen, then scroll down on the left.
Here is a link to the 5Rs tutorials: use the drop-down menu to navgiate through the different ones.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt16.html
I am not exactly sure what the battery symbol you described means, but I'm sure if you searched the iPod forums for something like "Battery with exclamation point" you would find it.
I hope this helps!

Ipod mini not recognized in ihome

My iPod is not getting recognized in 3rd party iHome and other devices that can play iPod etc. I have a Honda Odyssey and this iPod mini is not being recognized there as well. I have an iPhone and iPad and they both work fine on these devices. The version of this iPod is 1.4.1.
Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.

I had this exact same problem and I tried every single solution posted in this forum and I finally found the answer to it somewhere else. Try this:
1) Make sure that you have these services running (control panel - Admin. - Tools - services):
Network DDE DSDM
Network DDE
Clipbook
Routing and Remote Access
Terminal Services
Server
2) Stop the Ipod Service (same location as (1)]
3) Connect your |Ipod
4) Start itunes (this will automatically start Ipod Service again)
5) Update the new s/w in iPod.
This should not take more than 3 mins. after that, it will restart your ipod and it will be updated as noted by itunes.
I found that all the services except Server had been disabled in my services and once on enabled them I had no problem updating my ipod and getting itunes to recognize it!
Hope this helps!

Ipod mini not recognised when connected

When I connect my ipod mini to my laptop the ipod just freezes, and the laptop does not recognise it. Have tried all the suggestions on the ipod mini troubleshooting page and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Since this problem started, have you shut down (powered off) you computer, then started it up again? I assume this iPod worked with this computer before, and it is not working now for some reason...
You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
then connect it. If that allows iTunes to recognize it, you may want to run a Restore on the iPod from its Summary tab (in iTunes). This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

Ipod mini not working; weird screen shows up

My iTunes is not recognizing my ipod mini, and when I connect it to power adapter, the apple logo shows up, then there is a file with a triangle next to it, and under it, says "www.apple.com/support/ipod". Have any of you guys seen that before?
Thanks.

See if these help.
