New ipod mini help loading software

I just received a new ipod mini under warranty from apple and have not been able to load the software onto it.It did not come with the original software disc so i tried using the version from my original ipod dating back to 2004.However it does not allow me to do so because it says that the current version of itunes is incompatible with the software i am trying to load onto the mini.Any suggestions?BTW i tried downloading the latest version of the ipod updater to no avail.I thought of uninstalling the ipod software from the previous ipod but am afraid to lose my music on itunes.

BTW i tried downloading the latest version of the ipod updater to no avail
So you were not able to download the iPod Updater?
What happens?

You can't "uninstall" the software from the iPod.
You can Restore the iPod to erase it but it will still have the iPod OS on it.
This won't affect your computer at all.

IPOD sounds like it's being played under water on a very old record player!

I've had no end of technology problems lately. I transfered all of my mp3s and IPOD info to my new external hard drive. Which I can no longer access. I downloaded iTunes to my C drive again and plugged in my IPOD. It was not recognized by Windows or iTunes. I was forced to unplug it while it still read "do not unplug" or whatever the warning message is. Two nights later (last night), I tried again and was able to get it registered to my laptop and new version of iTunes.
I was all excited and downloaded a bunch of Podcasts, thinking that all was well! But it's not I'm at work trying to listen and my new podcasts and pre-existing music are all garbled! It's not every second of every file, but it's a majority of it. The files sound "scratchy" and like you're hearing it from under water - kinda muffled and "bubbly?" I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but it's freaking me out!
how do I fix?

Thanks to a Best Buy GeekSquad member, I figured out that my IPOD was fine, but my headphones were toasted!!!

How could i fix my ipod mini drop into water?

please help how could i fix my ipod mini dropped into the water.

There is no "true" fix for liquid damage. It has been suggested by many to put your device into dry rice for about 3-4 days without trying to do anything on it....do not even power it on. Once a device has liquid damage, it is just a matter of time before it has a failure.

Why Isn't The Ipod Mini Not Under Ipod On The Internet

I am trying to find accessories for my ipod mini but when i click on the ipod+itunes button it doesn't show ipod mini where should i got to????? It's really making me angry

Click here to see the iPod mini accessories page. If you want to follow any of the links on that page, you will need to delete everything before the second http to use them properly. The original page was removed when Apple discontinued selling the iPod mini.

The question was the phone is under water - not muffled nor low sound. It is getting regular that my iPhone 4S and others I know get the sound distorted as though it is under water. I have reset the phone, turned off wifi (Apple said do this). What can be done?

Meg St._Clair
Thank you. I rang Vodafone and although they were not too technical - they suggested my speaker was broken and was probably interfering with the microphone sound out as well. So thank you for the clue - I must admit to not thinking of ringing my carrier supplier. Thank goodness for two things - it is intermittent and I am due an upgrade phone in 6 weeks. I can manage till then I hope with the watery sound from time to time.

Having TWO problems with my iPod mini.

I've had my ipod mini for a year and a half. I only ever use it 2-3 times a week for 30 mins at a time at the gym, and sometimes in the car. Already I'm having two problems.
Problem #1- Battery. I've noticed alot of other people on here seem to be having this problem aswell. I'll charge it fully and leave it in the charger over night. I disconnect it, Start playing it, and 1 or 2 songs later I get the message saying "battery low, please connect to power source" It just came OFF a power source. I have 2 different ways that I charge my ipod. I use the computer. And I have a clock radio that it sits in to play the ipod and charges it at the same time. It dosen't matter which I use.. I have the problem either way.
Problem #2- When the battery actually is working(which is rare) sometimes the music sounds like it's under water. Basically, The music plays, but with very low bass. I usually either listen to it through my car adapter, or through my headphones and I get the same problem either way. This isn't all the time though.
I've never dropped it, gotten it wet or left it in the sun. It's had no physical damage at all.
Does anyone know what may me going on? I've followed the steps and tips from other posts on the battery issue but nothing has worked for me. The only thing I can think of (and probably the only thing anyone can recommend) is that I send it in to get it repaired. However, I refuse to do that. I don't think I should have to pay to repair apple's 1.5 year old products especially since I paid close to $300 for it in the first place. I also don't want to receive a refurbished one, I want MINE fixed or a brand new one(which I know won't happen).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Place 1 drop of rubbing alcohol on the home button.
2. Press the button repeatedly with pencil eraser making sure to get liquid into area surrounding button.
3. Dry off area with paper towel.
4. Press home button until it works again.

Ipod mini troubles: Help Needed

I really need help with ipod mini troubleshooting..
I've had my Ipod mini for about 3 years now and lately have been running into a few problems.
In the past few months:
-My Ipod's "battery meter" has been acting really strange, one second it may be reading as 3/4 full, and the next it shuts down saying that my battery has depleted, then a few minutes later it will be reading full again. And just to let you know, I always charge it overnight to avoid having a dead battery, and I always make sure to properly shut it off using "hold".
Resetting my ipod works sometimes, but other times doesn't..
Yesterday:
My Ipod is no longer responding at all, and I'm pretty sure I know why: Some careless person spilled some water near and on my ipod, I dried it off as soon as I could. It was working properly shortly afterwards, but a few hours later, it shut off saying that the battery was dead again, and a picture of a "cartoon ipod" with dead eyes("XX") appeared on my screen, and it said under the picture to go to "www.apple/support/ipod". This was when it wasn't connected to a power source. When I connected my ipod to my computer via USB, my itunes does not recognize that it is connected ("Do not disconnect" does not appear on my ipod) and a picture of a "dead battery" has appeared on my screen, it is not in the "recharging mode" either (with the picture of the battery moving).
I tried re-setting it numourous times, and always end up with either the "dead battery" picture, or the "dead cartoon ipod" picture on it.
Help would be greatly appreciated, as I use my ipod everyday for school and leisure.
Thanks.

I've tried that several times without luck.

Unhappy ipod mini! apple refused to fix it!

I hav an ipod mini, but it broke and was showing an unhappy ipod on screen. I finally managed to get hold of apple on the phone, so i could have it sent away and fixed as it is still under warranty! the box was sent out and then my ipod started its journey to the Netherlands. I received my ipod back 8 days later with a note saying they hadn.t fixed it due to my ipod being abused!!!! ??? An unhappy ipod is a technical fault with the program, therefor why is it that "i have abused my ipod" when there is no external damage and it hasnt been near water or been dropped! i phoned apple and they wouldnt send me out or a replacement or fix the one i have! The operator would not let me talk to managment, so i demanded that he told me an address i could right to management! this sort of stuff is covered in the "Consumer Protection Act 1987" and "Supply of goods and services act 1982" Has anyone else had the same problem with apples crappy services????

thanks im going to try. I have found the acts and the copy of there policy and im goin to take photos of my ipod so they can see it isnt damaged externally. And if they still wont do anything about it then i will take it to trading standards! I spent an hour on the phone to them last night and got no where, I must have spent about 25 minutes of that on hold!! got knows how much that is going to cost me for the phone bill!!

Cleaning ipod mini

Ok so i didnt read the part in the manual about not getting any moisure into the opening of the case to my ipod mini. What happened was I brought my ipod mini in the tractor trailer i drive for work and it got all greased up so the middle button was sticking so i just put a little water on my finger and wiped it all over the button and around it and now the go back/menu button doesnt work anymore:( So is it ruined?

Both #1 and #2 are sort of tied together. The Mini is currently associated with your iTunes library. If this young girl connects the iPod to her own PC or Mac running iTunes, the iPod will see her iTunes library as a new one. In order for the iPod Mini to start syncing with her own iTunes library, the iPod must be wiped all all content. So it probably wouldn't work for you to leave your music on the device.
The only way that would work is it the iPod was set up for manual management. See here for more details.
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
Perhaps an easier solution would be to purchase an iTunes Giftcard and include that with the iPod.
As for registration, she'll have to register it under her own Apple ID before it is removed from your list of registered products.
Hopefully this helps clarify your 2 questions, at least a little. Kudos for giving your iPod away like that!

Problem With Turning On My iPOD Mini

Hello. I just got my new iPOD Mini. I had to send in my old one because it had received the "sad ipod icon". So, the service went smoothly, and I recieved it back within a week. Everything seemed to in order, except for one thing.
Ususally, with an iPOD, all you have to do to turn it on is press the play button. However, with my iPOD Mini, you actually have to reset it everytime. I have tried toggling the hold switch, and I have even restored it to factory sealed condition twice, but it still needs to be reset! At one point in time, I got a VERY different screen where it wanted me to run these tests. It ended up disappearing, but I was baffled by it. I have also recieved a message on my computer saying that my iPOD is corrupt, and I need to restore it, which I did, but it did not take care of the issue.
I am still under the 90 day return policy, and I was wondering if I should return it, or if I have somehow placed the iPOD into a weird setting everytime I restore it. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you for your time.
-Heather

AliasailA, you are kidding, right??
You cannot use someone else's serial number or Apple Care Plan--it doesn't work that way.
I noticed you had another post that said the mini was given to you and has a "sad face icon" and out of warranty. Hummmm.
You really have to send that mini in for repair/replacement or consider it a lost cause. Maybe it is time to buy an iPod Nano for yourself.

Two Ipod minis on one computer???

I just installed a second Ipod mini on my computer for my husband and I was able to download all his music onto it. But when I went to update my Ipod, iTunes doesn't recogize my Ipod now. What do I need to do to be able to have two iTune programs that work with two different Ipods?? I created the 2nd iTunes under a different user name. I thought I did everything right. HELP!!

Just resetting your iPod may cure the fact that iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod. Hold down the menu/select buttons until you see the Apple logo. Do this whilst it's connected.

Multiple ipods on under same account

Is it possible to use multiple ipod systems under the same account? I have a nano that is currently synced with my itunes and I recently found my old mini that still works. I have thought I could download my kids' songs on the mini that way if something happens to it, I won't be upset.
SG

I currently sync my old iPod for Video 5G, my 1st Gen iPod Touch, my 3rd Gen iPod Touch, my iPhone 3G, and my new iPhone 4 all to the same library using the same account.
I seem to recall that before it used to allow me to sync multiple devices at the same time, as long as I had open USB ports to plug them into. I have recently seen that now, if I have an iPod Touch or iPhone connected & syncing, the computer doesn't seem to see a second one if it is connected, but as soon as the first device is ejected, the second one is picked-up and synced just fine.

My iPod mini is not appearing in iTunes or windows explorer.

My iPod is not appearing in iTunes or explorer. Only when I go to hardware manager windows admits that there is something that is not installed properly. But when I start the hardware manager and put in the CD, as required by the hardware assistant it says: Hardware couldn’t be installed.
So it is not even possible to reset my iPod, because is not recognized by the iPod Updater. I had to go to another computer to reset the iPod. After that my computer is still not recognizing it. So I installed the latest version of iTunes and Updater, but it doesn’t help. I installed also the latest drivers for my computer, but it did not work. Running the iPod in disc mode doesn’t change anything, too.
The iPod is not listed under disc management so I can’t change the Drive from E to G.
I tried the inactivation of all Microsoft-services according to the protocol from the apple web page, but it did not work, even after installing the latest version of iTunes.
I've read the entire troubleshooting pages on how to fix it.
The message on the iPod mini display is always the same when I connect it: “do not disconnect” and after about 3 seconds “OK to disconnect”. But the iPod is never listed in windows explorer or iTunes. I also reseted it, when it was connected to the computer.
I completely run out ideas and I am about to send it to service.
Can anyone help?
I use Windows XP on a Fujitsu Siemens 1437G laptop computer.

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes
