Ipod mini questions urgent pls answer

wen ur ipod mini is low in battery does that affect your click wheel? cuz wen my battery was nearly flat i could bearly move the click wheel... and also wen its nearly flat and you play a song and a game can that cause it to freeze? pls reply

wen its nearly flat and you play a song and a game can that cause it to freeze?
If its nearly dead the best thing to do is conserve what energy you have. I don't know if this causes it to freeze, but I do know that playing games while playing music will drain the battery quickly. What do you think.
Recharge it when it goes flat, or even before it goes flat.

Ipod mini question

Every time I select a certain song the ipod will not play it it just goes back to the main menu. It isn't all of the songs just a couple of them.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Can i use itunes with my new Samsung tablet. i have an ipod mini (i know its old!) and we got rid of our computer in favour for the tablet but now i don't know how to download more songs!!??

How can i connect my ipod mini to my new Samsung tablet?

No, there is not iTunes for Android. Actually, even if you had an iPad, there would be no way to sync an old iPod with it. You need a computer (either a Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes to sync an iPod mini.

Stupid questions on the ipod mini.....

I have an old ipod mini from 6 years ago. I haven't used it since I got it. Since I'm going to work out, I wanted to take it and listen while I'm exercising....
Stupid question number one
1. Can you hear music without using earphones? Or do you have to use a docking system???? Is everything with head/earphones?
2. The earphones that came with it, fall out of my ears..... what gives? Can anyone make a suggestion about headphones that you don't have to stick in the ear canal... but aren't cumbersome???? I need some suggestions, else the whole ipod experience is a waste
3. am I stupid for staying with a vintage ipod mini, instead of getting an ipod touch or traditional ipod that's newer? Are they easier to use?
All I really do is make playlists on itunes, and maybe a short download of a radio show or something like that..... What's the advantages of Ipod touch vs traditional Ipods?

1. No. You can hook it up to a docking station or use headphones/earbuds.
2. Everybody's ears are shaped different and so a one size doesn't fit all. I don't have any particular suggestions though. I would look on Amazon's site for an extensive list of possibilities.
3. Not at all. If it still works, why quit using it or buy a new one? Wouldn't make any sense! The advantage of the iPod Touch is that it has much more capability compared to other models in that it can download and play Apps as well as a number of other things.

Using iTunes/Ipod mini on multiple computers (many questions)

Hello I recently purchased another computer for myself. I would like to use iTunes and my ipod mini on this computer but I would also like to continue to use it on my family's main pc. Is this possible? Do I have to worry about that deauthorization of computers, or the license, or is it fine to use on two pcs? I just don't know how all that stuff works but I think I remember something about having iTunes on one pc only.
Now for the second part of my questions. How do I actually go about transfering iTunes and my ipod to another pc? Do I just install iTunes like normal and transfer my files using an external hard drive? My family pc will remain as the main one for now but eventually I'll switch it to my laptop. I don't care about playlists and song ratings because I don't bother with that. What I want to do is simply have the music that's on my family pc put onto my laptop. I have bought an external hard drive so I could transfer the music without much problems.
Finally can I switch between my laptop and home pc? I mean can I use my mini from my laptop and then later update it from my home pc and do other things like that. I'll use the songlist from my home pc for now but eventually my laptop will become my main one. I know I read something about clicking no if I want to change the music library when plugging in my ipod to another pc. Do I have to keep both iTunes updated to the same version and the songlist the same? I'm wondering if there will be any conflicts between the two.
I'm sorry about how confusing this all is and the many questions I have but I hope somebody can help out. Thank you.

hi Gerhard!
you can authorise up to five PCs at one time:
iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
this Buegie post is an excellent resource on moving your itunes to a different computer:

and these resources should be helpful with managing the mini from different computers:

Posting a Question and iPod mini help needed

It's so frustrating to use this support site. I can't seem to find the right information.
I need help. My iPod mini just suddenly conked out on me. Now it flashes the apple then an icon with a battery and an exclamation point inside a triangle. I tried to search for an answer in this site but all I got was a suggestion to reset it. I tried re-setting it and IT DIDN'T WORK!
What do I do now? I really want to get this fixed as soon as possible. I happen to love my iPod. Please, please, someone help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, serangel.
Here is the support site for using iPod mini.
There are plenty of users there who will be happy to help.

Please Advise: iPod mini 1st gen. questions and issues

Hi all, thanks for your attention!
I have, what I believe, is a 1st generation iPod mini - I purchased it in early/mid 2004. I love it, and don't want to just trade it in for one of the newer ones, that do 5 million more things than I really need. I just need my music and contacts, that's all. The problem is that it now only plays about 2 hours before tragically and dramatically dying of "insufficient battery power"!
The battery life was never great - even when new - about 6 hours of play time. I heard, soon after I purchased it, that they had come out with a "second generation" one that had more than double the battery life. I think I read something about the disapointing battery life of the "first generation" being the reason for the re-release of the updated model.
Anyway, later I heard (maybe MacWorld?) that the only difference between the two was the battery that was put in it, and that you could take a "second generation" iPod mini battery and swap it into a "first genaration", and voila: you have converted your 1st gen. into a second gen. and more than doubled your battery life.
Is this true? If not, does anyone know what IS the difference bettween the two generations?
I am thinking that the best thing to do is to go to the Apple Store and have them replace the battery with a new one, but which one do I tell them to put in? 1st gen., that has poor battery life, or can I get away with 2nd gen., and enjoy the extra longevity?
Any info would be REALLY appreciated! Thanks in advance amigos!

Robert,
Besides the scrolling feature built into the click-wheel, there is a microswitch button for each function. In other words, Menu, Forwards, Backwards, Play/Pause and Center Button each have their own switch that’s activated when you press that part of the wheel.
It’s possible that the switch for the Forward function has failed. Does that button work in ANY menu area. Do the other buttons work? If you’re in the middle of an album, can you go backwards in the list of songs?
I was just working on the click-wheel on one of my Mini a couple of days ago. I bought a used one and the prev other had some kind of decal over the scroll and the adhesive virtually glued the center button to the rest of the wheel.
Hopefully, it’s just the Mini’s click-wheels are they’re available on eBay for about $10 and can be user-replaced, if you’re VERY careful.
I also have an old 1st gen Mini that could be a parts donor and could do this for you. I could also replace the harddrive with a 32gb Compact Flash card and new battery while the Mini is opened, if your interested. I’ve done a BUNCH of those and they work great. I'm even selling one of them on eBay now.

Capacity Question -- How Do I Free Up More Space on my iPod Mini?

The capacity of my iPod Mini is 3.79, and the capacity bar shows 3.74 GB attributable to Audio, 40.6 MB to Other, and 3.7 MB Free Space. I want to add playlists to this iPod, but I'm told I don't have enough space. I deleted several playlists from the iPod, reconnected the iPod, and tried moving new playlists over, but it isn't reflecting the additional space; it still shows that I have 3.7 MB Free Space. If I deleted 5 albums, shouldn't I be able to move one new one onto the iPod? Is a "Restore" suggested? Please help! Thanks!

Clarification -- I'm deleting the playlist, but the songs are still showing up in the "Music" folder . . . I guess I have to delete them from there! Problem solved.
Yes, that's right. Deleting from a playlist will not free up space because it doesn't delete the actual songs. It just deletes the links to those songs.

When downloading an app my ipod keeps asking me to answer 3 security questions

When downloading an app, my ipod keeps asking me to answer 3 security questions but will say they are not correct

My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I think you need to reset those questions. You'll need to call the tech support for your country, ask to be connected to the Account Security Team and then ask if they can reset the questions for you.

SENDING IN YOUR IPOD MINI? QUESTIONS

Okay, So I'm sending in my ipod mini which needs a new batery. I am paying 60 dollars and they are supose to replace the batery. My friend says that they don't make them anymore so they will send you a new ipod nano or some other product. Is this true? If not, Can someone tell me what will happen? I mean why pay 60 dollars if you can buy a brand new one for 150? HELP!!!!

My guess is they have MANY minis available that are refurnished, used and/or new.
Why spend $150 when you can get a like new mini, that's if it still meets your needs?
If you need bigger/new, then get an aftermarket battery and do it yourself, buy the bigger new one and keep them both.
Or, buy new, leave the old mini in a cradle or plugged into the car adapter and use it as a 'less portable' jukebox.
