  • Ipod mini won't fully charge

    I was having problems with my battery life a couple of months ago but the problem seemed to corrected once I updated my software. Now, even after charging overnight, the mini isn't fully charged...it fills up a little bit, but never fully. Any ideas why and/or how to fix this problem?

  • Mac OS 9 -  iTunes for iPod mini doesnt work,what do??

    last week i bought an iPod mini,but iTunes 4.7 which is on the iPod cd doesnt work (the iPod mini software also not),i think because my mac is too old.
    so were can i get iTunes plus the iPod mini software which runs on my macintosh?

    There is no version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 that will work with the iPod mini. The last version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 is version 2.04, and that will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods, plus third-generation full-size iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware. All third-generation iPods and iPod shuffles can be used as an external hard disk in the Finder. Mac OS 9's iPod updater will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods.

  • Using iPod mini Power Adapter to charge iPod 5G ???

    Hi!
    I got my new iPod 5G. Now I'd like to use the old iPod mini power adapter. It got a Firewire connection. Does it work? Or do I destroy my new iPod???
    Thanks a lot!

    The power adapters can be used with any iPod or iPod Nano, they aren't model specific. A 5th Generation iPod can be charged by Firewire, it just can't use a Firewire cable to update. Updating of any iPod after the 4th Generation or the Mini can only be done via USB.

  • My ipod mini screen fades after charging

    I have a ipod mini ( which i love) but lately when i charge it, the screens contrast fades drastically to where i almost cant see anything on it. i can fix it by bumping the contrast up...my question is, why is it doing this , and is this a sign of a bigger problem?

    unfortunately to be certain you would have to bring it to an apple store.  but seeing as its old anyway and you are two hours from the nearest store you may want to replace it.  which ipod is it...2gen?  if it is then you will want to send it to be fixed as it is hard to do yourself.  The battery is soldered in and it is tricky to replace especially for a novice.  there are sites that you can send your ipod to that will replace it for you and on the cheap in comparison to apple.
    here is one that i know people have used with good resaults.

  • My chid has a Ipod and I keep getting charges from his apps why?

    I have my child on the family Icloud, it's a shared payment method and I have it set up were he has to ask me to use it. There is no way he knows my password, so I don't understand how I keep getting charges that I never okayed there have now been up to $35.00 worth of charges.  Any one know why this is and how can I get it to stop?  

    Verify that you have Ask To Buy set up correctly and test it with a free app.

    Also, what age/birthdate did you specify when you set up the child's account?
    Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.

  • My ipod mini won't hold charge

    I've had my pod mini for only two months. I charged the battery overnight but after just 10 minutes of use the battery was empty. Why is it not holding charge? What should I do? I am disappointed that this is happening because I really love my it.

    I would not send it back. I would do what this guy says. Mine is finally working right after numerous resets with it plugged into charger and by doing many of the things this says:

  • My 4th gen. ipod will not keep a charge, wont play music and keeps freezing-did full restore/updates already - please help!!

    The ipod will charge and allow me to access it/touch screen still works. When you click on an ap it is very delayed accessing. Sometimes music takes a while to show up, other times it freezes altogether.
    Started a few weeks ago after it sat in a hot vehicle (not in use) for a few hours and hasnt worked since!

    If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you very likely have a hardware problem.  Excessive heat will permenently degrade the batter.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod doesn't keep a charge

    I charge my iPod fully then turn it off, put it away, and don't use it for maybe a week.
    BY the time I go back to it, it is dead.
    What is happening?
    Thanks.

    Are you actually turning it off (slide to power off)? Or are you just letting it sleep? When sleeping the iPod is working and will typically fully drain in less than a week.

  • Ipod mini doesn't stop charging the battery

    i've been charging my battery for almost 2 days, but it just doesn't stop anymore....
    usually it told "charged" and stopped, but it wont anymore

    Did you unplug it? I know it sounds stupid and not very helpful but maybe it's just a bug that doesn't show it's done charging. I know sometimes for me I take it off of the charger while it says charging and when I plug it back it says charged.

  • Ipod touch wont keeps it charge

    I charge it up in the evening and when its fully charged i turn it off because i dont need it till the morning, when i get up i try to turn it on but the battery is flat. why is this and how can it be fixed?

    Perhaps a little more information would help...after charging and you leave the Touch, is it off or sleeping?  Do you have apps running in the background?  Mail set to check?
    Try going to the recents, what you get from double clicking the home button, and dismiss all apps on the recents dock bar.  Then charge fully, leave in sleep mode and see what the battery charge is like in the morning.
    If the charge is still good, then something in the apps you were using was actually running in the background and using resources.
    If the charge is still very low, it would be good to take the Touch to an Apple store genius bar and have it tested to see if there is a fault somewhere causing the battery to discharge while not in use.

  • Got new ipod mini, wont charge! Shows ipod w/sad face

    I just bought a 4GB ipod mini. Whenever I charge it [i use the charger on the "iHome" dock] it first shows the apple logo, then after a few seconds it shows the little ipod with a sad face, and it says "apple.com/support/ipod" then after displaying that for a few seconds, a little picture of a battery and an exclamation point next to it flashes really fast, then it repeats the whole thing over again. I have never used it before that is why i am worried!! has this happened to anyone else?? I know that it isnt the iHome charger because my sister has used it on her mini ipod and it worked perfectly!

    AH! sorry wrong section to post it in!

  • 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 Battery Status

    my iPod Mini had a full charge this morning and was working fine. i turned it off and when i turned it back on around 2, it said no battery power remains. it seems this problem is occuring with numerous iPods, not just Mini(s). the one thing they all have in common (that i know of so far) is they've all had the latest update. my iPod is no more than a year old, and other people have had them for about half a year or less and are having the same problem. I'm wondering if the update could have given the battery meter in the iPod a false reading or something like that. I'd like to know whats wrong?

    - reset, several times
    - calibrate the battery and the battery meter
