My Ipod mini shows "locked" on the ITunes screen

When connecting my Ipod mini to the computer I see in ITunes a " locked" sign.
I can only add new music (still some disk space on Ipod); it does not delete old songs that I have deleted in ITunes.
My Ipod mini is not set to act as external hard disk

Do you have your ipod on automatic update or manual update? If it's on automatic update you can't delete songs and there will be a lock symbol down at the bottom of the screen next to where it tells you how much space you have left.

    My phone is locked on the itunes screen,,,, what do I do?

    You can try this to get it out of Recovery Mode:
    Unplug the device from the USB cable if it's plugged in. Then hold down the sleep/wake button until it turns off. Let go of the button and then hold it down again until the Apple logo reappears. Let it go and the device may boot up.
    This only works, of course, if your device was working properly previously.  Otherwise you'll need to restore it:

    Follow Tim's advice. If you have any problems open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click the Restore button of iTunes on computer.

    im trying to sell my ipod to a friend so i reset it to get all of my passwords and everything reset and now i cant figure out how to muse it again. the screen shows a usb plug with an arrow pointing to a round symbol that says itunes. how do i fix it

    That's normal.  It just means that the iPod will need to be connected to iTunes and set up there before it can be used again.

    Hi lindaasw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed?  I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything.  If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  • My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message

    Hello!
    My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
    " One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
    I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
    I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
    Anyone??

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another USB port and computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod mini isn't recognized by itunes or computer

    I have no idea what to do. I connect my ipod mini to my mac, the ipod recognizes that it's been connected but it doesn't show up within iTunes or in Finder.
    I have iTunes 7.7, Macbook 10.5.4
    Any ideas? I want to update my music and this is really frustrating me.
    I read around and tried to re-install/downgrade to iTunes 7 but that didn't work or I did it wrong.
    Any help would be amazing.

    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board (or USB chip set if that is what you are connecting your Mini to you Mac). Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, locks up, etc., simply power cycling (shutdown & restart) the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac) and then remove the laptop's battery. Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chipset alive.
    Now let it sit for a minute (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now reattach the battery pack plug the power cord back in, & start up the Mac. Now plug in accessories/hard-drives and see if your FW (or USB) ports and the iPod work any better.
    Best of luck!

  • How do I get content from my iPad to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV without going thru iTunes?

    How can I get content from my iPad and my air book to show up on the tv screen using Apple TV, without going thru iTunes?

    You will need to use AirPlay to see that.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
