MAJOR Ipod Mini Issues!!! HELP PLEASE!

Oh My~lanta! I am just about at my wit's end w/ this too!!! I'm experiencing the same problems although it seems like everyday I get a new error message!!!! My computer crashed back in December and ever since, my IPOD has not been the same. I thought it had something to do w/ the computer crashing but from what I read here, it seems it may be something w/ the latest version of ITunes and if so, why on earth has it not been fixed yet??!!! Today I have just about had it! My Ipod, even after rebooting, restoring, reinstalling won't even work at all and I get a message today that says there was a problem downloading the software and the requested resource was not found. All of this started when I tried to plug in my Ipod Mini to sync it to ITunes. It said IPOD cannot be synced, unknown error occurred (-48). I tried to restore it at that point and then I got the message that it could not be synced, Requested File could not be found. After a few days and trying this again, I got another message that said Disk could not be read from or written to, Corrupted & Not readable; IPOD connection status failed. Last night when I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled, it started to sync and appeared to be downloading most of my songs, well it got to 200 and then stopped, said it could not be synced and completely erased everything again. Today tried all over again as well and got a message on my computer saying Delayed Write Failed, unable to save data on file F. So then I reinstalled and rebooted and all that again and now I have a "coruppted Ipod" and can't even do anything with it! I'm at a loss and pretty upset that there is not a 1-800# that I can find to call and talk to somebody about this over the phone! Any help???!!! Please, I'm really freaking out about this!

"Disk could not be read from or written to" I have the same problem, can't copy any music to my iPod, why's that, I think it's got something to do with the new iTunes

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

Think my friend fused their ipod mini. HELP!

Can anyone try explain what the possible problem is with my friends ipod so that we can judge whether it is better to get it fixed or just buy a new one.
Here is the story:
My friend has an ipod Mini. She says it hasn't been charging very well. So she went and bought a charger from a shop. She asked the guy at the shop if it was a charger for an ipod and he said it was an mp3 charger and that it would work with an ipod, but when she got home and opened the charger it didn't have the right slot connection for an ipod. She wasn't sure what to do so she looked on her ipod and found that the charger connection fitted in the earphone slot. So she thought that this was where you put it. When she put the charger on, she heard a little sound and now we can smell this fused smell from the earphone slot. The ipod still worked after this but now it doesn't charge at all. The guy at the shop said sorry for the wrong information but it was hear fault for not being technologically minded and putting the charger in the wrong slot.
Can anyone please give a little advice as to what the problem is so that I can tell her if she should have it sent for fixing or should she just buy a new one. Please Help!!!!

It does indeed look as if the iPod may have been damaged by inserting the charger into the headphone socket and then connecting the charger to an electricity supply.
It's difficult to say exactly what internal damage has been caused by this.
Whether it would be better to repair or replace the iPod depends on how much it would cost to fix.
Apple won't do it so you should look at one of the many 3rd party repair sites such as iPodResQ. They will do an estimate for you on how much it's likely to cost. There are other places you can find if you Google 'iPod repairs'.
Btw, the guy at the shop sounds like a real jerk!

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.

Ipod mini battery help!

I have an Ipod mini and I will listen to about two songs and it will tell me that it is out of battery power. But I charge it every night until it say charged and sometimes I leave it over night plugged in. Do I need a new battery? Any help would be great.

I'm actually having a similar problem. I've had my iPod about 3 1/2 months now and lately it's been cutting off, telling me that there's no battery power, even if I've just charged it. I've reset it and it's worked for a minute and then does the same thing. I'll have to try resetting it 2 or 3 times and then the battery will kick back in. But it's been happening for a couple of weeks now. What's the deal? I've noticed it's been doing this since I updated with the 9/23 update.

IPod Mini need help!

Hello everybody!
Lately, I have been having trouble with my pink iPod Mini (1st generation). I was updating my iPod Mini with the latest restore, and it completed, and required me to plug the ipod into an external power charger. I was not at home, and I did not have the charger at that time. I waited until I got home, and I plugged it into the external charger, I unplugged it about 45 minutes later, and every since, all it has shown me was a folder with an exclamation point next to it.
I have tried: Resetting the iPod, Restoring the iPod, Uninstalling the iPod Software and iTunes, and then reinstalling those programs. Plugging the iPod into an external power source, using different USB Port, restarting the computer, and Diagnostic Mode.
I was planning on sending it to Apple for repair, but it is not under warranty, and it might just go back to eBay where it came from if I can't get it working.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Ipod displays folder with an exclamation point. I had the same proble with you before, but my iPod is 3rd generation. Fortunately, when my iPod was acting up it still under warranty so Apple changed my iPod to brand new one. It's your choice to either send it to Apple for service or sell in eBay. Anyways, I don't trust eBay in terms of electronics.

Hi Sherry-
Thanks for the info - Just a brief history on my problem.
I was trying to open an application on the mac and it froze - nothing would work. I powered down at the surge protector. restarted to have the mac hang on the grey screen with the apple. Let it sit for 15 min with nothing. Called and apple dealer near us and was told to reinstall the OS. I had to do an archive & install. I think I had 10.3.9 but the system cds were 10.3.1 or something like that. So reinstalled and you know where I am. SO, should I still restore the netinfo data base? Will this effect my network with others. I back up my HD to another mac at night and vicea versa.
Thoughts.....
Thanks for your help!

N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please

Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask

As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_2_update.sisx
At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8
