IPOD MINI NOT WORKING AT ALL! HELP!!

It won't turn on and it won't recharge.
When i plug it in it says it does not recognize the USB.. does this mean i need a new USB cord? I don't want to waste my money on buying a new one if i don't need it.

IPod touch 4th Generation , home button not working at all, Help?

- Try restoring your iPod to rule out a software problem.
- The try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
iPad 2 home button fail: Apple Support Communities
You can turn one Assistive Touch in Settings>General Accessibility to use the screen instead. See chapter 30 of the users guide

If under warranty make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

The link I and Ingo provided included:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
That is more than quicktime and iTunes. Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

well first off I would contact apple and see what they say.. if they will fix it, how much it could/would cost etc. If they wont help you I suggest going with a ipod repair company.. something like www.ipodmods.com or www.ipodresq.com. Get in touch with them add see again if they are willing to look at it and how much it will/could cost..
good luck.

Need Help Ipod mini not working

I have a mini and it won't show up on my computer, at least I can't find it anywhere, if anyone one has had this problem please let me know if you remember some simple, and basic steps please write them out, I would greatly appreciate it, Thank You.

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.
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).
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.

Ipod touch not working at all and wont register to charge...help!!

My son has a 4th gen. ipod touch. He had it on sleep mode for an hour and now it isnt working at all. It wont turn on and it wont register when we try to charge it. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it??

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!!
Hi there have a simple answer that works(i did it on my friends iPod touch 4 gen)
Plug the iPod into your sons iPod doc or wall adapter ...NOT PC OR MAC... And hold the sleep and menu button for THIRTY seconds.... This will wipe the iPod clear and will also leave it blank then do not use it at all in anyway shape or form. Wait for ios5 to come out( October the 12th 2011) and then Plug it into your PC or Mac that you originally had it synced with and it will work

Second hand ipod mini- not working?

I did once get past the language screne 2 the menu but i wouldn't let me play my songs that i put on it.

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 working with new car stereo

I just got a 2007 Sienna in which the audio system includes an AUX port for connecting to my iPod. However, when I connect the two (using a RadioShack Gold Series audio dubbing cable recommended by RadioShack), nothing happens. My iPod is not locked, and it works with headphones and also through the FM transmitter (although the latter not very well at all).
Is there an iPod setting that I am missing? Do I have the wrong cable? Is there a problem with my car's audio system?
Any advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Doh. Never mind. I just figured out it was a volume problem.

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.

IPod Touch not working at all

Last night I was browsing the internet on my iPod Touch. While browsing it gave me the warning "Battery at 20%" . The browser locked up (as it occasionally does) and so I held the power/sleep button to turn it off. So after the screen went black, I went to turn on the iPod and it wouldn't turn on. I took it out of its case and the back felt warm. So since the battery was at 20% I took the chance that the battery might have died.
So I went to go charge it and when I checked it, it still won't turn on. I plugged it into my PC, no indication it was plugged in. I plugged it into my Mac, still no indication on itunes that there was a device plugged in. The only thing I haven't done is let it rest while not connected to a power source for 24 hours. So just incase that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When the charge is very low an iPod is not reconized in iTunes right away. I would advise leaving it connected to the PC or Mac for a few minutes to charge it a little.

Apple store says ipod mini not working b/c not using usb port 2.0 - true?

My ipod mini (a year old) is frozen/can't be charged. Apple store guy said because I've been using usb port 1.1 and that it is supposed to be used with usb port 2.0. Tells me won't send in for replacement (out of warranty anyway) unless I first update my computer with USB 2.0 card. Is this true?

It's better to use 2.0 because it's faster.
Try resetting it, hold the center [select] button and the menu button until the Apple logo appears. or let the battery die, and then plug it in.

IPOD not working at all - help!

I have a 60gb IPOD photo. Recently, about a week ago, it stopped working - was frozen on a playlist but would not play or go back to the menu. I have tried the 5 r's and now the ipod is stuck on 'do not disconnect'. It is currently plugged into my usb port but neither itunes nor my PC are recognising the ipod. How can I unplug my ipod without damaging it and how can I make it work????!!! Please help, I'm desperate.

Have you tried to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod?
