Ipod mini on classic macos

I bought a second hand ipod mini(6GB) yesterday. Over windows 2k no problem(but itunes 7 is too SLOW)
The problems are with my pb3400 with macos 8.6(using itunes 1.1) and other powerbook(G3) with os9.22(using itunes 2.04) the device doesnt appear(but the usb port charges the battery) not even as a hard disk. I need my ipod for backup the pb3400 data(im planning format the ipod HD to HFS+) not for music.

The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.
Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

  • Mp3s play in iTunes and on iPod mini but not on iPod classic

    Some of the mp3s in my iTunes library will not play on my new 160G iPod classic. I paid for and downloaded the mp3s from the internet (not p2p), most of wich are CBR (192Kbps), but the occasional album is VBR. All of the mp3s play fine in windows media player, iTunes and on my old iPod mini. When I go to play them on my iPod classic, the tracks just skip. It seems strange that the files play on an older model of ipod.
    I have searched though these forums, and have seen people having similar trouble, but have yet to come across a solution.

    Yes, I have this problem as well. I have synced and re-synced an entire library three times now (which is not easy when you have almost 10k tracks to upload) and the same issue occurs on some tracks, but not others. I can't really see a commonality amongst the files to figure out why the ipod won't play the songs. They play fine on Itunes and when the unit itself is hooked up to my computer, but not if you are just listening to it from the Ipod. Strange...hope somebody can answer this question soon...the problem is really irritating.

  • How to sync an older Ipod Mini to a 2010 version of itunes?

    I recently found my old Ipod Mini (2nd generation). It still works, but I am not able to connect or synch it with my newer version of itunes. What can I do to clear out what is on there and put in my music from my 2010 itunes?! I have an Ipod Classic that I am able to connect to connect ot my itunes, but I would like to know any possible way I can get my music onto my old Ipod Mini.
    Thanks!!

    Hello EQLC,
    I understand your iPod mini is not able to sync to iTunes on your computer.  Are you working with a Mac or a PC?  I'll include some troubleshooting steps for both operating systems below:

  • What itunes version will work with a first generation ipod mini

    My wife has a first generation iPod mini and wants to use it but the version of iTunes that she has on her computer will not recognize it.
    Anyone know what she can do to be able to use this perfectly good device?
    What was the last iTunes version to sync with this device?

    The third generation iPod classic does not support BT.
    If you meant the 3G iPod touch thenyou need a pair that supports:
    Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
    Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
    iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

  • IPod 2007 160GB Classic Stuck on Apple Logo Reboot?

    Hello Hopefully somebody can help?
    I have a iPod 2007 160GB Classic which is stuck on the apple logo reboot? I have tried everything posted on the similar topic below without success although I'm a windows user and not mac:-
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2609298?tstart=0
    My Hard Drive Smart Data is:-
    Retracts: 336
    Reallocs: 6
    Pending Sectors: 4
    PowerOn Hours: 454
    Start/Stops: 2285
    Temp: Current 27c
    Temp: Min 0c
    Temp: Max 53c
    I cannot restore, format even using HPUSBDISK?
    Is it saveable or do I need a new hard drive?

    I received mine today. Mine was Macintosh formatted already. No problems when I first connected. It took quite some time to sync my music library, but it completed successfully, with 13GB free. I 'ejected' the iPod, and I've spent a few minutes playing songs, trying the menus. No problems so far. Others have commented that the software is slow. I've not noticed any differences between 5G and the Classic. When you play a song it spends a second or so accessing the hard drive before playing the song, as my previous iPods have (most of my music is Lossless). There are images/icons on the right side of the screen in the settings section that appear after a slight delay when moving down through the menu - this perhaps gives the impression of feeling sluggish but it actually doesn't affect performance - you can scroll through the menu as quickly as you like, the sluggishness of the icons appearing is only cosmetic.
    From my point of view, I'm pleased to say I've had none of the problems of it getting stuck on the Apple logo. When I first connected to the computer the Apple logo appeared for a moment, but then it changed to the 'syncing' circle animation and I've not seen the Apple logo screen since.
    I think if yours keeps having the problem then I'd get a replacement. I'll certainly report back if I start getting problems - but so far it seems that everything is fine.
    One last comment - I hadn't realised quite how different the software is. All of the menus, and the information displayed, the moving album art on the right side of the screen, the fact it shows how many songs are in each playlist etc is all very different to the 5G. The software on the classic is a very significant upgrade from the 5G - at first glance anyway.

  • How to use iPod mini USB in car - manage playing

    I am getting reacqauinted with my iPod mini and see that I can play it in my car using the USB port, but can't seem to access the controls...it just displays do not disconnect. I turned the car off before I disconnected the iPod. Will appreciate any feedback here!

    Yes I have the same question too. When I plug my fairly new160 gig ipod classic into the USB port of my new car, all the ipod screen info defaults over to the car's screen and you have to navigate what you want from the touch screen in the car. Fine no problem. But when I try to do the exact same thing using either of my old ipod minis (which otherwise work just fine with headsets) I get an error message which basically says. this is not going to work. WHy is that? ...Anyone?

  • Ipod mini from ebay. not showing up on usb, no default disc plz help!

    hi there,
    i recently bought an ipod mini from ebay.com. The ipod is in good running condition and works great with the songs i have on it that i got from my friends computer. The only problem is that i cannot get songs from my computer to my ipod mini because it doesnt show up when i connect it to my usb port. I never installed the disc that comes with original ipod's because mine did not come with one since i got it off ebay. Do i have to have the installation disc that comes with ipod's that you buy from the store installed on my computer to be able to use my ipod mini?? Or is there something i can download from the net for windows that would solve my problem? Pleas help!
    -Thanks,
    Jimmy

    I am amazed, that after reinstalling iTunes 9.2.1 on MacOS 10.4 after removing the kernel extension and the package receipt everything works as expected.
    before reinstalling, the iPod touch neither did load, nor showed up in System Profiler.
    So – problem solved, back to normal …
    many thanks

  • Ipod mini freezes itunes

    whenever i conect my ipod to my computer itunes freezes and the nabout 20 seconds later my ipod mini freezes. why??

    I have had a similar problem with my iPod click wheel classic - upon connection, iTunes would freeze, upon disconnect things would go back to normal. After much time troubleshooting (format, restoe, r5's, etc) I ran across a post that said to try a different USB cable...now everything is working.

  • Can i have an ipod mini and an ipod nano on same account

    My daughter got an ipod mini 2 christmas's ago and so we have an itunes account. This christmas my son got an ipod nano because they had discontinued the minis. My son likes a lot of the songs that my daughter had on her ipod and i really dont want to use all that money just to rebuy songs. I was wondering if there was any way that I could use one account and they both have the same songs on their ipods.
      Windows XP  

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. One way is is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. You could create one playlist for the Mini and one for the Nano. Each playlist can have whatever songs you like in it drawn from the single library. Have a look at the article linked below: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

    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 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?
    Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.2.x)

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

  • Ipod Mini battery (1st generation)

    I bought my Ipod mini in february 2005 and since 4 months the battery no longer works. It has started to turning itself off 1 or 2 minutes after i opened it even when fully charged.

    Thanks for your answer, but i knew it was a battery problem. How come after a year and a few months, the battery is broken? I heard there might be some probs with the 1 st generation Ipod mini battery. Is that true and will Apple replace it free? even if i'm not on the waranty anymore?
