    Try Resetting the iPod. This is what the first response suggested.

  • IPod Mini crashed - now what do or can I do?

    Seems like my iPod Mini has crashed. 
    It seems like it tries to boot up but I just hear what seems like the disk spining, stoping, spining, stopping, like a stuck record.  Not sure if something is fried or not.  I was charging before this happened and it seemed to get pretty hot.
    Looks like the product is obsolete and it is not possible to get it fixed.   Not sure if putting in a new drive and battery would fix it.
    It was a great product.  What should I do with it?  What does the community recommend?
    Throw it away?   How do I properly dispose of it?

    There are still several 3rd party repair centers out there who can repair the device for you.  Or if you are up for the challenge, you can still purchase replacement parts for pretty cheap from several sites including Amazon and eBay. 
    As for recycling, there are also several options.  One of them is Apple.

    Personally, I would go for the repair option, because it's always fun reviving an older piece of hardware.   But sometimes it best to just let something go and properly dispose of it.

  • 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.

  • IPod mini froze?

    As of two days ago, my iPod mini will not work properly. Last night, I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't respond. I finally got the Apple icon to come up after trying to reset it, but then I got the folder with the exclamation mark. When I plug it into the computer, I get the big battery sign, with about 1/4 of it shaded in, but it is frozen. My computer doesn't recognize that the iPod mini is even plugged in. Today, I downloaded the iPod updater, but that did not help the problem. I have been reading different posts involving this problem, and everything that I have tried has not worked. If anyone has any new suggestions, please reply! Thanks.

    Just to let you know... a few days after I made that post, I took my mini back to the place of purchase, and they had to exchange it. Supposebly something inside with the software was messed up? Just thought I would give up an update!

  • Selling ipod mini to friend-what do I need to do?

    I am selling my mini to a friend and have left all of my songs on it. Is it possible for her to re-register it? Also, will she be able to choose what songs she wants to keep and be able to keep what I've purchased from the iTunes store?
    Thanks!

    She should just need to connect it to her pc - iTunes will take care of the rest.
    As for the music on it - almost all music is copyrighted material and it is illegal for you to share it with your friends. Sorry.
    Please don't steal music.
    Cheers!

  • My ipod just froze, totally unresposive.

    I pressed the forward button to go the the next song and it just frooze right before it should start playing. I tryed plugging it into my computer with itunes and it does not reconize it. I press any buttions on the Ipop and nothing happens. I can't even turn it off. Whats up with it?

    Try a Reset. To reset your 5th generation iPod with video:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

  • What? How do I dowload the "latest ipod mini update"?

    Hello. I have an Ipod Mini (2nd Generagation 4GB). I had put it away a few years ago when trying to reformat it. It had been on Mac, and I was switching to Wondows. I had trouble downloading itunes for some reason. I dont think i was on dialup, but I had problems and just quit trying in frustration. I plugged it in to charge a few hours ago. The screen was blank. I googled and looked through forums at how to boot it up. I couldnt remember. Well, after just under 2 hours of charging at the wall, I connected via USB to my PC, and it doesn't even get recognized. My PC just says it's searching. I tried to hold the MENU & SELECT buttons for the suggested time until th Apple logo comes up. Nope. Nothing doing. Nothing comes up. I keep trying.
    I found the Apple Support info that is dated 2004, where it tells me to go to the Apple Support slash Ipod, to download the latest Ipod Mini software. What is that? There isn't such a thing. I can't even find a mention of it anywhere on the internet. This support manual info on Apple tells me I need to do this to be able to rest my Mini.
    I should be able to see the Mini pop in my iTunes, if I open it, if I have it connected via USB. But I don't.
    Maybe there is a battery inside the Mini that won't charge? Should I take it apart to look? So far, no Apple logo no matter what I try. Nothing on the screen at all to show a battery charging or anything.
    If I take it apart, what should I look for? I'd like to take it apart to see. I couldn't find any YouTube videos on that either.
    What would you try?
    Thanks.

    I know, I really REALLY wish that firefox would keep the security and cosmetic updates SEPARATE!

  • Replacement iPod mini issues

    My iPod mini froze, so I took it to Best Buy and they replaced it with a new one. They just switched the iPod's so I didn't get the ID for it, that means I can't register it. When I plug it into my computer, it says I need to run the iPod update. I do that and it says "Internal Error." My computer doesn't recognize my iPod after that. What do I do?

    You don't need ID to register your iPod, all you need is the serial number on the bottom of the iPod. It's very small and it should be the first line after the square with how many GB your iPod has..right under it.
    Windows does not recognize iPod

  • Connecting my new ipod mini

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a new ipod mini on saturday and have been struggling to connect it to my pc. WHen I connect my ipod mini this is what happens: 1. The apple logo appears on my ipod, 2. A sad ipod face appears on my ipod, 3. The battery logo appears but is not actually charging. During this period the ipod logo doesn't appear in itunes or in my computer.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Ross

    Ross, I assume you ran the CD that came with it that formats the iPod for Windows use? If you did and you're still having these problems, I'd suggest your return your iPod for a replacement. The sad face means there are problems with it that cannot be fixed by the user.
    What does this icon on my iPod mean?

  • IPod Mini "Freezes" - Stops Responding

    Last week my daughter's iPod mini froze for the first time. I was able to restore it and everything was working fine until yesterday. She has upgraded to the latest iTunes. I believe it is 7.0.1. After upgrading, iTunes told her to restore her iPod. Which she did using the embedded iPod updater in iTunes 7.0. Today the darn thing froze up again.
    Is this an iTunes 7.0.1 issue or is it an iPod mini issue. It seems like we should not have an iPod that freezes up multiple times in a week, requiring multple restore operations, only to freeze up again within a day or so.
    It is driving me nuts. I need some good advice. 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

  • Av Component Cable with the iPod Mini?

    My son bought me the AV Component Cable for my Mini to link only the audio with my RCA inputs of my preamp. I couldn't find anything in Apple Support that says I can do this, and I talked with an Apple tech rep who didn't know but thought by referring to the specs for the Mini that it is NOT compatible. Now granted, I could just open the box and find out, but I thought I 'd ask to see if anyone has tried to use this cable for this purpose and succeeded or failed.
    Any takers?

    AV Component Cable - I need to know more details about this cable.
    But if it came with an iPod dock (the dock that allow you to place your iPod mini with it), what you need to do is to connect the AV component cable between the dock and your preamp as follow:-
    1.The jack of the dock (in red colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in red colour of Right Channel)
    2. The jack of the dock (in white or black colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in white or black colour or Left Channel)
    In case it did not come with the dock then what you need to do is either :-
    A. Plug your cable with the dock of your iPod Mini (the buttom of your iPod) or,
    B. Plug your cable with the headphone jack of your iPod Mini
    Then connect to other end of your cable with your Preamp (Audio in)..

  • Ipod mini frozen on apple What to do?

    My ipod froze up after i updated it and ejected it from my pc, i went to the music option and it just froze, i reset it and it stays stuck on the apple logo any ideas on what to do with it...
    Ipod mini   Windows XP  

    In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
    1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
    2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.
