My ipod mini has a messed up screen! help!!!!

PLESA HELP ME!!!!! my ipod mini was taken away at school and put in the office. no student had touched the ipod mini. when i got it later theat day, there's a screen that says
remote test
hp ok
press remote keys
there is also a list of things below it in faded print. what are remote keys? how do i fix my ipod mini? PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!

What happens when you press anything? Nothing happens? Try to reset it, hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the apple logo on your screen and then let go. You might have to try this a couple of times in order for it to work. Try to use it and see what happens. I have no idea what a remote test is but if nobody fooled around with your ipod while it was in that office then why would it say that?? Can you read what that list says, the one in faded print or it's non readable because of how faded it is??

Ipod mini has black spot on screen

Hi, I have had my Ipod Mini for about 2 months and yesterday I saw a black spot on my screen. There is a big spot then other little ones. I have tried re booting, but nothing changes. Please help.

I think what happened is that your ipod may have been in the sun too long because the same thing happens to my ipod when it sits in the sun. try letting it sit in a dark spot for a few days.

Ipod mini minus/plus icon on screen

My iPod mini has an icon that is a double -/+ right under the battery. should I worry about it? Otherwise it is playing normally. Does it have anything to do with static electricty?

Er, no. You have the shuffle/repeat feature turned on. : )

How to reset the iPod if it's not responding.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IPod Mini has no library.

Hello everyone, this is my first post ever. It's a sad story, actually. I had a beautiful 1st generation iPod touch for about two years ago. Recently, my girlfriend's father managed to water damage my iPod touch, and refuses to replace it. Nice guy, isn't he? I don't have to funds to replace my touch, and I know nobody in the world covers water damage, so I found my old 4GB iPod mini. I want to use it until I can save up for a new however, it's not recognized by iTunes. Windows XP recognizes it as an iPod, but iTunes (9.2.0.61) never recognizes it. I tried using 3rd party programs such as CopyTrans, and CopyTrans diagnosed the issue saying that my iPod mini has no library and thats why it can't be recognized. How do I fix this? Thanks to all for reading and helping!

Hello jbass54,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried some of the basics yet such as trying a different connector cable or simply plugging the iPod into different ports? Perhaps try and reset the iPod with it connected to your PC. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You may want to attempt this a few times for good measure.
If still no luck, try and force the iPod into *Disk Mode*.

Ipod mini has a sad face!!

my 4gb ipod mini has a sad face and it will not work anymore. How can i get it to work again? Any ideas?

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Ipod Mini stuck on Apple Icon Screen

I was using my ipod mini, and had it connected to my computer, and the computer crashed. Now the screen perpetually has the Apple Icon on it. Permanently. I've tried resetting the mini (by holding the menu and select keys, and also by holding the menu and play keys), and what happens is the Apple Icon dissapears for a few moments, then returns. Sometimes I'll get the low battery icon too. Then it's back to the apple icon on screen. Basically, I'm not able to reset the little bugger. I'm scanning the boards and have read the FAQs, and hope I'm not out of luck. Please help.

Ipod min has stopped being recognised

My ipod mini was installed on my windows XP and tunes bought/downloaded from itunes. Six months later and computer has stopped recognising ipod. Message says to "reset" or "restore" and only the restore option (with subsequent loss of songs) can be activated.
Need suggestions to ensure that original PC recognises ipod.
Posible cause of problem: ipod was connected to a Mac to download songs from a friend's itunes (no songs bought).
Thanks!

I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
Any further help much appreciated.

Ipod mini has died

Help!I just bought accessories for ipod mini 4GB and was working fine till battery died and i tried to recharge it. Now it wont switch on at all. i get no response and my computer doesnt register it either. i have been through all the reset/troubleshooting steps and nothing. i even let the battery drain and tried again to no avail. the worst part is that i bought the thing in the UK and am now in South Africa and Apple says theres no support out here- not even a service store. can anybody help? i really dont want to lose my ipod!

Hi,
I've got a similar problem. How old is your iPod? Mine's between two and three years old, and it seemed to be getting near battery replacement time (the battery was lasting about 45-60 minutes between charges). Now it won't draw power either from a socket or from my computer.
As for battery replacement, there may be no Apple Authorised outlets, but I'm sure that there are perfectly good battery replacement options out there. A cursory Google search brough up a couple (for example, http://www.sonnettech.com/product/ipod/batteries/service.html - this is just an example; being UK-based, I'm not in a position to recommend them).
When you spoke to Apple, did you call their iPod service number - (011) 719 9161? This was listed at http://www.zastore.co.za/ - seems like the Apple store has been outsourced in SA.
Anyway, good luck. And if you get a chance, let me know how old your iPod is and whether it's first- or second-gen so I can judge whether my problem's related.
Cheers.
