Ipod mini sync issue
Cannot sync 2005 ipod mini to 2013 itunes. Any ideas?
Usually Apple doesn't actually replace the battery, but instead places it with an exact model. So yes, your data will be lost, so be sure to back it up to your computer if at all possible before sending it in for repairs/replacement.

My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?
My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

ITunes 7.1 broke iPod mini syncing
All worked fine until the 7.1 update. Now every time I connect my iPod mini (6G, through firewire), about a third of songs and audiobooks is re-downloaded onto the iPod. This is absolutely uncalled for, as those files were not changed.
Worse yet, now the iTunes syncs audiobooks one way only, meaning that the bookmarks for audiobooks listened on the iPod are lost upon syncing with iTunes. Unless I am doing something wrong, this seems like a serious bug.
Does anybody else have the same problem and maybe found a solution? Or ss there a way to revert to the previous iTunes update?
Thanks
15'' PB Al Mac OS X (10.3.9)From what I've seen, there's no reason to "copy" the artist field into the sort artist field... If you leave the sort artist field blank, it appears to sort by the artist field. So you only need to set the "sort artist" field for any items that you want sorted differently from the artist field.
I'm going to wait a few days, because I suspect very strongly that some very useful Apple scripts will show up at, for example, this site:
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/
The one I want is a script to take all of the songs I've selected and set the 'sort artist' to be the artist name in "last name, first name" order. So then I just select all of the songs that are by a single artist, run the script, and probably 98% of my desired sorting changes will be made. I see some of the first scripts for manipulating sort tags are showing up, and I bet it won't be long before some really useful ones appear there.

Help with iPod mini (Battery issues)
I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.

Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!! -
IPhone isn't recognized by iTunes 9, but my iPod mini syncs fine
Uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (multiple times), put iPhone in recovery and DFU modes, and nothing. Windows only recognizes it, and when I put my iPhone in recovery mode, it was "installing the device software", but later failed saying "the file specified could not be found". Apple Support was of no help. Any suggestions?

I've gone through the steps of that article already. I'm all set with the USB port and the cable. It's been recognized perfectly on my computer before, I just connected it a few days before I updated iTunes. The software on my iPhone is fairly recent too (3.0.1). My iPod mini is several years old and is still being recognized by iTunes. The Apple Mobile Device service is running and I've restarted it several times. I have McAfee VirusScan 8.5 and Malwarebyte's Anti-malware.
Is the iPhone recognized correctly on another computer?
Since the issue didn't occur until you updated iTunes, you may want to look at the security software on your PC.
You can try restoring McAfee to defaults, as suggested in this application conflict article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1609
You may be able to bypass some conflicts by putting the PC into a selective startup mode, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292

Why does my iPod not sync all the songs in a playlist when I manually sync it with my computer? It shows up as 51 songs in the playlist on my mac (all software is updated, included itunes recent version), but only 48 on the ipod playlist.
i know it sounds tedious but try and play every song on the list
if some of them give error messages and then show an exclemation mark next to them that means ur itunes still has them listed but the songs are not where the itunes thinks they are (them being deleted for instance) and thus does not actually have them to sync over. that would cause this issue.
if thats the case u should delete the songs that have those excelmation marks and resync. the playlist should be the same after that. -
IPod Touch Sync Issues - Fails, then 100% CPU
I've been having a problem where when I try to sync my iPod Touch on my computer, it fails some way through, then the CPU is cranked up to 100% and I have to forcibly restart my computer. Ever since I've installed Windows 7 64-bit I've been having sync issues so I tried restoring it completely and I got myself into this mess. I originally had Vista 32-bit so I'm not sure if it's because of the change. But I have an HP Pavilion dv2615nr. Any help would be greatly appreciated cause I cannot get any music onto my iPod.

I believe you've got an nVidia chipset on that model. If so, and you've got over 4 GB of RAM, you'll need to update your Host Controllers.
It's available either as a Microsoft hotfix:
[You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972]
... or as a Host Controller update from HP:
[Driver update for Win7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available|http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for- Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipset-systems-now/m-p/188193]
(Unfortunately, it doesn't always appear on the downloads page for a specific model ... if you upgrade to 7 on some earlier models, they don't always provide all potentially relevant drivers. I couldn't find any Windows 7 drivers available for you model for example.)
To doublecheck to see if your model does have an nVidia chipset, it might be worth posting over at the HP Support forums. -
When I let pause a playlist and it goes into sleep, the only way I can resume the playlist without it going back to song number 1 is waking it up by attaching the iTrip. The other problem I am having is when I use the click wheel to go to another menu, I cannot go back to the main menu. Even when I let it go to sleep it won't return. I have to do a reset on it.
While playing songs on the play list, the backlight will switch on and the screen shows that it has returned to the main menu, at this point I cannot pause any music, nor can I increase the volume etc.
I have downloaded the lastest version of software for my iPod, but that didn't seem to rectify the problem.
This issue is relatively new, I have had my iPod mini since Jan 2005, and have noticed this happening for the past 2 months or so.
Any help would be appreciated as I use my iPod all the time and am getting quite frustrated with it.
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)If you've restored the iPod and it hasn't cured the issue, then I would suggest you take advantage of your 'about to expire' warranty, and send it for service.

I had an first gen. IPOD mini that broke was replaced by apple about 4 months ago. Now the ipod is acting up again. I recently gave this ipod to my sister because I was buying a new one. When I had it, it never had any issues. Now that she has loaded her music on it it has started acting up, I dont know if that is related to anything or not. (maybe a corrupted file she loaded.) The problem is that when you push a button on the ipod to turn it on, it turns on but the second you release the button the screen goes blank. If you put on song, the screen will blank but the song will still play. Also if the backlight is on, the backlight will stay on, but there will be no words on the screen. If you hold down any one of the buttons the screen stays on, even if its a slight push on the buttons it turns the screen on.
I have already tried restoring factory settings, and updating the ipod. Neither of those solutions worked. Can anyone help?Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, if neither of those helped the situation you may need to send it in again.

My ipod mini's battery life is over and I was looking into the apple support options and battery replacement. However, I was wondering if you get a battery replacement if all data on the ipod will be deleted or if apple will just give me a new ipod mini. Thanks.
Usually Apple doesn't actually replace the battery, but instead places it with an exact model. So yes, your data will be lost, so be sure to back it up to your computer if at all possible before sending it in for repairs/replacement.

Hi there.
Ive search and read pages upon pages to see if any other folks have had this problem. It seems that I am not alone (thank goodness) but even after lots of trouble shooting I can not seem to get my iPod mini to load songs.
Ive reset my factory settings three times. My iTunes is up to date as well as my software for the ipod mini. The error message that I get EVERY TIME I plug in my iPod mini in is "You do not have enough space on your iPod".
I have my settings set to only clicked songs - which the clicked songs is probably half the amount that would fit onto the mini (its a 4GB). I used to be able to at least drag songs into the ipod mini but it wont let me add any songs now. So with nothing in my ipod (really, I just set it back to factory settings) it tells me I dont have enough free space.
Help!Welcome to Apple Discussions!

New Ipod touch will not sync, it connects, recognises the IPod, runs through the 4 sync steps but will not sync music from ITunes? Using a PC for ITunes....
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

IPod 5G sync issue with Windows 8
I have an iPod 5G and recently bought a new Acer laptop with Windows 8. I can open itunes and it claims the iPod is syncing but nothing happens. When I try to eject it I receive an error message stating that files are in use with another application. Any suggestions how I can figure out what other application is running these files? I tried to restore the iPod but received the same error message.
I am having the same problem. It just won't sync. iTunes always end up shutting itself down or I have to force quit it because it quits responding. My iPhone syncs fine...no problems whatsoever. For some reason my 16gb iPod Touch with 2.1 is hanging up in iTunes 8.

good morning.
Sometime yesterday morning it seems that the sound output balance on my ipod mini went far over to the righthand earphone. However I can't find anywhere within the ipod OS to actually adjust the balance. Also, the speaker balance on my ibook that I load/charge the ipod mini from still has optimal balance (centered)
Any ideas how to change the balance back on the mini? Any perticular reason why it may have changed on it's own?
Thanks.
-DanielHah, i'm a little embarassed that I actually neglected to think of that... Thanks my friend.
I guess I'm still a little stubborn. "No way, it's Apple! It has to be something else!"
