My ipod mini is not identified by my computer anymore

my laptop crashed while my ipod mini was charging and being updated by itunes 7. i switched the computer off while the ipod was still pugged into the computer via usb port. i switched my computer back on. however, my laptop is working perfectly, by my ipod will not switch on (even though i know it had at least charged 3/4) even when i plug it back into the computer there is no sign of life from it. the computer does not pick it up neither does my itunes. i have tried the 5 R's, but to no help. it still will not switch on. the apple logo does not appear neither. my laptop is a advent, using windows xp media centre. i have redownloaded itunes7, but this has not helped either. Any other suggestions?
thanks

  • My ipod touch is not recognized by my computer anymore

    I don't know what to do. It started happening after I updated Itunes a couple of days ago.

    Have you looked at this article:

    and/or

    The later would apply if An exclamation point appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager

  • My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean?

    My Ipod mini will not sync.  I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
    Thank you

    Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
    Open My Computer
    Right-click your iPod  -> click Properties.
    Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
    Check "Automatically fix file system error"
    k Start.
    Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
    Good Luck!

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?

  • My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

    My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

    It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
    Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

  • IPod Mini will not come on, Help please

    Yesterday I was leaving my house and I properly removed my ipod mini from my computer through Itunes. When i reached my car, i pressed the menu button and the ipod mini would not turn on. I figured i would wait. (Seeing as this has happend to me before and the ipod came on in a couple of hours) I tried to turn in on hours later that evening and the ipod would still not turn on and has continued to do that today. Please help if you have any knowledge on this matter.

    It sounds like a dead battery...was it charged with you disconnected? Do you have an itrip or other device plugged into it? My itrip kills my battery even when the red light isn't on and appears to be off. Hope this helps! Good Luck

  • My Ipad mini is not reconized on any computer via USB.

    My Ipad mini is not reconized on any computer via USB.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
