IPod Mini Stop Working After 1 Year ?

I've heard rumours that after a year of having your iPod Mini that the battery will stop working.
I have had mine just under a year and The Battery is starting to play up.
Can you please tell me whether the rumours are true and how I can fix my iPod.
Thanks

Alistair,
If your iPod battery play time is really that bad, then my advice to you would be to send it off to Apple before the warranty runs out for a battery replacement.
Fill out the service request.

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

  • My Zii Sound D5 stopped working after one year

    Hi there,
    After one year of enjoying my beloved Zii Sound D5 it stopped working with any apparent reason. It just does not switch on.
    I dont have any technical knowledge but after reading a few messages in the forum my guess is that the problem is related to a power spike.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Tobago82,
    Have you tried plugging the speaker to another power outlet? If you have not done so already, please contact our Customer Support for assistance.

  • Hyperion Reports Scheduler stopped working after 4 years of reliable servic

    Hello,
    I'm puzzled by this, but today at 4:00 AM, the scheduler stopped working. I tried to manually restart the service to no avail. I rebooted the server, nothing. I reinstalled Reports (but selected retain configuration), yet nothing. I'm perplexed as this has been working without issues for 4 years. Next step is to check whether the IT group did a patch upgrade of the OS and may have caused this.
    If anyone has an idea, pls forward. Many thanks.

  • IPod audio stops working after a few minutes of watching a video Mp4.

    When watching full length movies on the iPod, my audio stops working at random. The only way to get it back is to stop the movie and advance it, then start it again.

    What video conversion software did you use? And did
    you install the latest IPOD updater?
    I read more of the discussions and going back to the old version took care of the problem.
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone 3GS stopped working after one year one month, and is totally unresponsive.

    I went to plug my phone into my stereo as I do daily and it just stopped working. Totally unresponsive.

    Charge it for 30 minutes with a wall charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    BTW, it's a holiday in the US and UK, so amazingly enough, many users are out enjoying themselves, which is why you didn't get an instantaneous response. Even then expecting an answer in less than 30 minutes in an all volunteer forum is optimistic.

  • HT1414 Ipod Mini not working after trying to update to IOS7

    Team Apple....HELP!
    I recently tried to in tall the new IOS 7 on my Mini Ipad....but I get the connect to Itunes with USB cable on the screen. 
    I've intalled the latest updates to the OS on my MAC Laptop and the latest version of Itunes.
    Itunes saw a system that needed to be restore and took two hours to down load something (sorry, can't recall).  After the down load, I'm still stuck with the conect to Ituense with USB cable on the screen.
    Ok, I've tried all the below intsrutction from these links, with no success:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    G

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Remote App on my iPod has stopped working after 7.0.3 update

    Remote App used to work well, instantly connecting to my iTunes library (V10.5.2 on OS X 10.5.8), but after updating my iPad 4 to 7.0.3 it has stopped connecting.
    I have re-started my Airport router as Apples tech docs suggested, and re-started the machine that the iTunes library is on. Neither has helped. I have also turned sharing on and off in iTunes a few times but nothing allows the iPad to show up under devices as it did previously.
    The iTunes library will share to other computers on the same network running 10.6.8 and 10.8.5.
    Under devices nothing is shown.

    Found the problem. The iPad was connecting to my guest network rather than my main network as it is supposed to.

  • IPod Touch stopped working after i upgraded it from iOS4.3.3 to iOS6. Now even if i restart my iPod it shows a iTunes symbol followed by a upward arrow mark and a USB symbol. I cannot find any solution for this particular problem in Help section.

    I tried to upgrade my iPod from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 6 through iTunes. As soon as it completed the download of the 840 MB file, it said that my iPod is being restored. But after a considerable amount of time it said my iPod could not be restored and stopped. Now my iPod screen is just displaying a iTunes symbol followed by an upward arrow mark and then a USB symbol.
    iTunes has stopped to detect my iPod anymore. I tried to update iTunes 10.7 as requested in the website support page. But if I check for updates in iTunes it is detecting the available updates but not updating it when i click on the update button.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Nano stops working after 1.0.2 firmware update

    I just updated the firmware of my ipod nano last night to 1.0.2. I was using thru out the day when it suddenly stops playing the next music in my playlist. My ipod shows the play icon but there is no sound and the play track is not moving. Tried to play a different music and videos but the same problem occurs. Tried to reset is several times but doesn't fix the problem will try to reset the firmware later when I get home.

    Just got the nano 3rd gen yesterday. Already had a Nano 1st gen. Running Itunes 7.x on windows 2000 os at work (1st gen nano used there). Needed new Nano in a hurry, so went to RShack and bought one. Ran home....Itunes says wont work with Nano 3rd gen. Went to download upgrade for Itunes, and find out the upgrade won't run unless running windows XP or VISTA.... Borrrowed a laptop with XP OS and got latest Itunes. Happy...happy...joy...joy, now I can get Itunes and new Nano to work together. Now gotta get music off old Nano and into new Nano usiing borrowed laptop. (Found a program on net called 'SimpleCenter' to do this.) Xferred music from old Nano to Itunes on laptop, then transferred entire library to new Nano. (Was out of reach of wireless network while doing this, so was unable to 'UPDATE NANO' when prompted by Itunes.)
    Sooo...
    Took laptop over to its owners home (and wirless network) and Updated the firmware to 1.0.2. When supposedly complete, the new Nano starts to Reset continuously (Apple Logo....Menu Screen......Apple Logo.....Menu Screen....Apple Logo etc. etc.) Oh 'darn' ........
    So frustrating.... Disconnected new Nano from laptop during the couple seconds the main menu was showing.
    For grins went to play the solitaire game that comes with new Nano, but comes up with error message saying it (the game) won't load. (Worked fine earlier, before the 'upgrade')
    Oh Mannnn..... I find that there a 'ton' of other 3rd gen Nano usere having same problem with firmware upgrade 1.0.2.
    I will wait for some response from Apple on this issue for a few weeks before I take the device back to dealer. I expect that this problem will be resolved by Apple in quick order in the form of a new firmware upgrade (or something similar). I really don't want to hassle the dealer at this time, and can live with the old Nano at least until the end of November, when I will be needing both Nanos for a special event.

  • IPod Shuffle stop working after upgrade to iTunes 7.02

    I upgrade to iTunes 7.02 after it prompted me so many times. My Ipod shuffle has 512MB, somehow iTunes 7.02 format it as 34GB, yes, 34GB!! I wouldn't mind it so much if it still works, but it doesn't.
    What I have tried so far, I uninstall 7.02 and put back 6.05, still it shows 34GB. It does recognize the Ipod shuffle and allows me to put songs in it, except they don't play.
    I download the Ipod shuffle reset utility, but it doesn't recognize the IPod. I am really bumped on this one, nothing to listen to on my long commute.

    Hey man... I know what, you were right! I did some more research and ended up looking for any answaers on the Digidesign site. I downloaded the latest version of CoreAudio for my plataform (ProTools TDM Mix Plus with OS X 10.3.9) which is CoreAudio 6.9 and it seems to have solved all of my problems! At least iTunes and QT are opening again and seem to be working good so far. PT also seems to be runing with no problems!! Thanks again for the hint!

  • IPod doesn't work after 1 year - costs $250 to fix????!?!

    My wife got me this ipod for graduation last year. I am just a couple months outside the 'warranty' and it doesn't work. The thing cost like $400 at the time.. and it will cost almost $300 to look at fixing.
    This is extremely disappointing. I thought apple made better quality products before this experience. I had to send it back twice because of the battery charge problem and now it just doens't work period.

  • TS2771 My ipod touch stop working after putting it on sleep mode and was on dead battery. How do I start it up again?

    I was looking at some of my pictures on my Ipod Touch. It was on 20 percent battery and i turned it on to sleep mode to go do something for my mom. Once i came back and tried to unlock my ipod it would even turn on. I tried plugging it in to the computer and used many different ipod chargers. How do i get this to work? its only a year old, does it have anything to do with the battery? And if i reset it will the songs i purchased from my ipod still be on there?

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    The media should still be on the iPod. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Airplay audio from iPhone 4's iPod app stops working after a few songs

    I have problems with airplaying songs from my iPhone 4 to my Apple tv.
    Everything works fine but after a few songs it suddenly stops and I'm not able to switch it back on. After a few hours I'm able to airplay again but only a few songs till the problem reapears.
    Streaming music from my iMac to Apple tv works flawless over wifi so it shouldn't be a network problem.

  • Water damaged iphone 4, stopped working after two year , the water damage

    2 years ago my phone went for a wash in washing machine, I managed to dried it up and make it work , recently the display went off while using, after charging i could see it in itunes, it kept beeping every 15 second while plugged in for charging. Then i decide to open it romove the battery and put back on nowit has no life in it if i plugged it for charging or to pc it get hot quick but won't turn on, tried the home button , power button 10 second role but no luck
    ...all i need to know if I want to replace any parts what parts I should replace. as the phone is pretty good condition. now the question is wether it need lcd, battery or logic board changing?
    i would think as it was all working , either one of  there:
    battery, logic board and lcd (digitizer) might need changing?
    and it might work?
    any suggestion on this will be appreciated.
    its a 16gb iphone 4 black.

    We can't advise you on attempting to repair it yourself. Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. The only sources for iPhone parts are:
    Stolen parts
    Counterfeit parts
    Salvaged parts
    Since you opened it yourself, Apple won't touch it now.  Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone.
    If you really want to try fixing it yourself, look to someplace like ifixit.com for advice.
