IPod mini problem...Any suggestions?

As of yesterday, my iPod mini will not work properly. Last night, I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't respond. I finally got the Apple icon to come up after trying to reset it, but then I got the folder with the exclamation mark. When I plug it into the computer, I get the big battery sign, with about 1/4 of it shaded in, but it is frozen. My computer doesn't recognize that the iPod mini is even plugged in. Today, I downloaded the iPod updater, but that did not help the problem. I have been reading different posts involving this problem, and everything that I have tried has not worked. If anyone has any new suggestions, please reply! Thanks.

I don't have an ipod protection program so how much might it cost to have the headphone jack fixed? Do you think restoring my ipod might help the problem?

TS3274 Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?

Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?

What problems are you having ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting and selecting your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto albums/events) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

I cannot download the latest version of itunes to my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to sync with my new ipod nano. Any suggestions???

You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't sync that device.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
Some device models require Mac OS X 10.7.5 to sync.

Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues. Go here to straighten it out. Be forewarned that it's a pain.

I recently replaced the hard drive in my computer. I am afraid to download and reinstall itunes again because I worry about losing all the music I had on my iPod Nano. Any suggestions for solutions?

The dragging does not work:
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discused here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to your compouter and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Nothe that the backup that iTunees makes does not include synced media like apps nd music.

Ipod Mini Problem

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I bought a new Ipod mini on saturday, and I had to take it back because it was dead..they swapped it for a new one, and everything was going okay..until today.
I was listening to my Ipod on the way to work, and the battery drained and the Ipod turned off. No problem I thought..I got home after work, and plugged it back into my pc to charge.
However, the screen showed a large STATIC battery icon..and now it won't do anything.
I've reset it by toggling the hold button and pressing the select and menu buttons together..but all it does is show the apple icon and then go dead.
Can anyone suggest anything? Is this one broken too? I'm getting through Ipod's like slices of cake LOL

Stephen, Welcome To Apple Discussions.
The large Battery Icon Is Not Offensive , Trust Me.. You Simply Need to Make a Reset While it's Still connected...Even if you don't see the APPLE.
Then You let it COnnected for a while.. (about 10 minutes).. and You Unconnect Your ipod.. and the apple Should Appear.
The Large battery shows Up because there is Not Even a Smidge Of Power to run the iPod while connected to computer..
Your iPod Is Nether Broken, Nether Need For replacement.
Good Luck.
M.

TS1559 No Wifi or Bluetooth available on my iPod touch. Any suggestions on how to fix would be great?

Have tried resetting network, its not in aeroplane mode, have updated software to iOS 4.2.1 and have deleted and reset all functions, wifi and Bluetooth still greyed out. Any suggestions without costing me more $$$ will be greatly appreciated!

iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

That's very strange. See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work. I'll include the steps below. If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't. If it will, then something is wrong with Safari. If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked. There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons. Let me know what you find.
To clear the cache on Safari:
Open Settings.
Select Safari
Touch Clear Cache.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear Cookies.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear History.
Select Clear.

Ipod Mini - Problem with power

Hi all!!!
i've got a problem with my Mini Ipod.
Suddendly it seems that the battery of my Ipod doesn't recharge. I've changed computer (both with Windows XP) and cable and i've tried also with an iHome alarm clock/Radio. But nothig seems to work so i think that the problem is with the iPod.
Forward the Ipod seems to "tilt" because sometimes when i connect it to the pc the monitor freezes with the picture of the battery recharging but it's frozen and i need to reset it also after i have to disconnect it from the PC.
May some of you can help me giving some good advice!!
thanks and bye
Dario

Not too sure, but I believe it is the time to have the battery replacement for your iPod mini. Normally, the battery needs to be replacement after 18-24 months

N97 TV Out problem Any Suggestions?

I have a pre-order N97-NAM with relatively few problems (compared to others on this forum) running the latest firmware that I use in my vehicle via TV out cable. Is there a way to set options on which audio output the phone uses during a call? When I listen/watch music/video through TV out mode in the vehicle and a call comes in, I can't hear the call through my stereo speakers as I could with my N95-4. The audio only comes out the handset via standard speaker, loud speaker or with BT headset (if it is still connected). Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm the same, the N95 I had worked fine, I could make and receive calls in the car through the head unit, but it will not work with n96 and now n85?
Any help would be fantastic

Samplitude 2496 and Audigy 4 sound card problem any suggestions please

Hello
I have a problem. I have installed Audigy 4. All looks good. I am editing music in a software called Samplitude 2496. But I simply cannot playback. I beleive Samplitude needs ASIO support to be able to playback. A window pops up when ever I try to playback saying
"Cannot open waveform output device 'SB Audigy 4[D800]'!
"The specified format is not support or cannot be translated. Use the capabilities function to determine the supported format".
I cannot find any ASIO in my system yet Audigy 4 says it has ASIO2 support. Does this mean Audigy software has the ASIO or does this mean I need to download the ASIO for the Samplitude playback.
Any suggestions most welcome urgently.
Thank you Philip

If you have installed Creative bundled drivers for your card, ASIO drivers are installed already. Check on Samplitude Audio settings, if you see those drivers listed there -> NOTE:! you need to select ASIO 24/96 driver for 24/96 data. AFAIK, other (two) CT ASIO drivers supports 6/48 only (least this is the situation w/ Audigy 2).
You can find more information on ASIO @

IPod mini problems with iTunes 7

Hey all.
I wanted to share my experiences with everyone to see if anyone has been experiencing similar difficulties.
I own a second-generation ipod mini. It is a little over a year old and was given to me as a gift. It has worked great as a hard drive, and I am a music education student so I use my iPod several times a day. Just a few days ago I installed iTunes 7 on my computer. I plugged in my iPod and it hasn't worked since. I have visited several forums and it seems lots of other iPod owners are experiencing difficulties with the new iTunes download and their iPods. I tried re-setting the ipod, re-storing it, I have called several places in town for support and have also called a 1-800 mac support line. The support line was not helpful at all since I am not under warrenty anymore, and I was told that I could pay 30 dollars for troubleshooting. Of course, there's no guarantee that will fix the problem, and let's be honest, I'm a college student. Money is hard to come by.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes, re-installing an older version, I have used the iPod installation software that came with the purchase, I have asked the person who bought me the ipod, a die-hard mac fan and computer science major and he has worked for several hours to fix the solution. No one seems to be owning up to the problem or admitting the cause.
My iPod has crashed because of apple's iTunes software and it has been extremely disappointing trying to get it replaced or even trying to talk to someone without being charged. I think since the device is less than two years old and cost quite a bit of money, and iTunes is what broke it, I don't think I should have to pay 189 dollars for out-of-warrenty service that doesn't guarantee it fixed.
This is extremely disappointing. For years I have heard what great reliable products apple produces. I was planning my next major computer purchase to be a mac book but now I am seriously reconsidering since no one seems to want to help. My faith in apple is diminishing, and I think I may not be the only one.

one more time,
ok, so we know what you have done to try to resolve the issue, but we do not know what the issue is. "My iPod has crashed because of apple's iTunes software" tells us absolutely nothing about your problem.
So... try again.
What is the problem that you would like assistance with?
My point is that I do not see how installing new iTunes software could be a direct cause of iPod Hardware failure, so if you give more information about the problem you are experiencing, someone here may be able to help you find a solution.

Ipod mini problems with itunes 5

I am having a ton of problems with my ipod mini since updating to itunes 5 and wanted to know if anyone else is having the same experience. Itunes is working fine, but my songs won't transfer to my mini. The ipod will act like it is updating, and even begin the update process, but it will crash and become unresponsive before the update completes. I've removed and reinstalled itunes 5 and quicktime multiple times. I've also restore my ipod to the factory settings and updated the software. I've tried disabling my mcaffee virus protection, and also disabling my cookie blocker. Still no luck.
Is anyone else having similar problems? I'm pretty much at a loss right now and don't know what else to do but bring the ipod back to best buy (I bought the service plan). Just a note, I never had a problem before updating to itunes 5.

Have you tried to reset your iPod? Hold the MENU & PLAY/PAUSE buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen and then release. Try to transfer songs to your mini and see if it works. If it doesn't, if I were you, I'd take it back to Best Buy and ask them what's going on.
I just updated my iTunes software and I am not having this problem.
