Is it possible to send my crumby ipod mini in and upgrade it?

Hi my ipod mini is soo bad. It's a first generation mini and I'd reaaally like to hand it in to Apple, along with some money of course, to upgrade it to a regular ipod. If anyone knows anything about this could they please email me?? [email protected] I feel totally ripped off with the first generation mini because I've sent it back 4 times and I've only had it for a year and a half. Thanks a lot!!
PS For the price I paid and the trouble it's given me, I'd think it would be fair to be able to upgrade it don't you??

My ipod mini worked decently for two years, babied it--now sad face. I would like to upgrade too but I'm afriad to sink $400 into a new one only for it to break down in two years. I'm beginning to think that the projected lifespan of apple products under normal wear and tear is about 3-4 years. Is that fair to say?

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.

Is it possible to send a fcp x project (media and events) to be finished on a imac running fcp7?

I started a project using FCP X on a Macbook as part of a training workshop in a school. The school have requested that, if possible, I send the rough cut and all media to them, as they have access to FCP 7 running on an iMac. What is the best way to approach this?

You need this little app to convert it:

Cannot load ipod mini software and use i pod

HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 - How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
you should try that first. If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive. Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is." When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful. Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings. Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen. If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363 - iPod devices with a Click Wheel
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes. Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.

I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S. I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my iphone

I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

Thanks, This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple. What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer. I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it. If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

I have an iPod mini 6GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it work?

I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

IPod Mini plays and all of a sudden it pauses :(

Gentlemen,
I have an iPod Mini. Issue is, that sometimes when I play a song and I am touching the earphones or turn the iPod, it pause the song. It gets boring after a while, cause you gotta push "play" every time. I must admit that the earphones are not from Apple. These are cheap ones.
Big time Thanks in Advance

had the same problem with my IPOD NANO. I finally determined that it is a feature of the IPODS to go into Pause mode if you pull out the headset -- so that it does not keep playing (run down batteries or lose your place in audio books). I finally decided that it was randomly pausing due to the headset. Evidently some units manufacturing tolerance is off a bit and a little motion in the headset jack area makes the unit think you have pulled out the headset. I actually, used a very "soft" emoery board (not real coarse) and filed down the edges of the plastic surrounding the headset jack. I think this enabled the jack to make a more solid connection and have not had a problem since.

IPod Mini "Restore and Update" Confusion

hey all... i recently bought an iPod Mini from a friend... anyways i've done the whole "restore and update" thing... but i'm stuck on the last step... where it says to hook up to an external power source or something? can't exactly remember the message it gave... but on my iPod Mini it keeps flashing a picture of an adapter being plugged into power outlets... am i supposed to have some kind of adapter? what's going on?
any help would be awesome... thx!

To complete the update process, connect the iPod to the AC adapter, a car adaptor, a 6-pin FireWire port on a computer, or try this method to charge the iPod. Until you've done one of these things, you can't use the iPod again.

Ipod mini gen and battery test?

where can i see what generation my ipod mini is? and where can i see this battery test thing?

What is a Battery Failure?" A third-generation iPod has experienced battery failure when the capacity to hold an electrical charge has dropped to four hours or less of continuous audio playback, with earbuds attached, while first- and second-generation iPods have failed when they get five hours or less of continuous audio playback, with earbuds attached. Surprisingly, the definition does not mention whether the numbers need be reached with or without your screens backlight on. Regardless, your battery must have failed within two years of the date of purchase.
How do I know for sure if I have a Battery Failure? Run the test provided in Apples Notice, part IV. Reset your iPod, then update it with the latest Software Updater, fully charge the iPod, go to the Settings menu and turn on Repeat, then turn on a timer and play a song from an album. The song will replay until the battery runs out. If your iPod falls below the times specified above, your battery has failed.

IPod Mini freezes and stops working?

This happened to my friend, too, but she was able to return hers to the store. I've had my iPod Mini since July.
I was listening to my music as usual, and then it just stopped. The screen stayed on and the "Play" triangle stayed there, but the screen froze 1:11 into my song, and the clock at the top froze too. The screen finally went blank when the battery died. I plugged it into my computer and the battery charging icon showed up but it was frozen. I unplugged it and the Apple logo came on and stayed until the battery died.
I used my plug charger, plugged it in and tried to "reset" (holding "menu" and "select" at the same time) but nothing happened. Does anyone know how to fix or what's wrong with it? (I was blaming solar flares but there's gotta be a better explanation)
Thanks for your help!

Hi
Before you plug your iPod with the Ac charger, Press "Menu"+"Select" keys until you see the Apple Logo. Then connect it with the AC Charger, press "Select"+"play" keys and it will put your iPod in Disk Mode. Connect it with your PC, and open the iPod updater and do the RESTORE - bear in mind it will erase all your data in your iPod. Once finished, update your iPod with your iTune. Hope it works

Ipod mini freezes and dies

My ipod mini, which I have had since January 2004, has recently started freezing during songs and then completely shutting off. When it freezes the music coming out of the ear buds sounds like a scratched CD and then a moment later it will completly freeze and shut off. When the ipod mini does shut off, the only way I can restart it is if I hold down the menu and select buttons on the click wheel (it won't respond to plugging into a power outlet or my computer). Also, when it does shut down, there is plenty of battery, so i figured that that was not the problem.
I went to the apple store and they told me to restore the ipod mini to its original factory settings and that didn't work. I also read a post on this forum that said to hit the back of the ipod when it begins to skip and freeze. That did not work either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

yes i have the same problem!
but i've had my ipod for only 5 days!!
and it's a new one because the previous one had the same problem, so i got a new one instead.
which ***** because it's broken !!
aaargh !!
