Quarter of my mini ipod is blank? Help

I was listening to music and all of a sudden a quarter of my screen is blank-Well I can still see the scroll bar (& the section I can see on the screen is the top part of the time & half way down the screen). What does this mean, I have had this mini for exactly over 13months. Please help.

Have you tried anything: reset? restore?

  • Help - have overrided mini ipod with empty Library!

    PLEASE HELP!!
    My laptop was recently stolen, leaving me with just a copy of my music library on my mini ipod.
    I bought a new computer and was attempting to copy the songs from my mini ipod to the new computer, when I accidentally saved my blank music library over my mini ipod, effectively wiping out my entire existing music library on my mini!!!
    Is there anything i can do to restore the music back from my mini ipod?????

  • My mini iPod has a picture of a folder and an exlamation point...HELP!!!!!!

    My mini iPod has a picture of a folder and an exlamation point next to it,and it won't turn on! Even when I connect my iPod to my computer or an outlet, it still shows the folder and doesn't charge (well, at least it doesn't show that its charging)I don't know what to do because my computer, iTunes and the Updater doesn't show that my iPod is even connected, so I can't restore my iPod because the updater says "Please Connect iPod" when it is already connected...Iv'e tried everything i can do that the iTunes help pages say to try...but it still hasn't fixed anything!!! PLEASE HELP MEEEE!!!

    I'd say that the only thing you can do is send it in for repair. But, are you completly positive that you looked for the answer everywhere: MSN, Yahoo, and Google might help. Also you might want to look for a Hard Disk formatting program. This "A folder with an exclamation point."generally means that your iPod's Hard Disk is formatted in the wrong way or format. Also, try letting the battery drain out and you will loose all the data on your Hard Disk, but that may let you reformat it with the iPod Updater. Don't worry, this does not mean that a phisical error has occured with the iPod, just something wrong with the data.If that dosen't help either, it needs service.

  • Mini Ipod Battery Replacement Trouble

    Hey guys,
    I bought a ipod mini replacement battery from this site:
    http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=prod&ref=EC003
    I installed it carefully and everything just like the directions told me to and it looked great. But the only problem is the sound does not work, it works when i place it on one of my ipod music players but you cannot hear anything with it by itself and the headphones, and i know it is not the headphones because i checked it to make sure...
    Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should do?
    Mini Ipod (1st generation)   Windows XP  

    1. You will get back an identical iPod (same generation, same engraving, same color).
    2. The new iPod will be blank, so you'll have to put the sngs onto it through iTunes, like getting a new iPod.
    I hope this helps!
    By the way, it is a lot easier to read your post if you type normally, not in one very long sentence.

  • Music not appearing on mini ipod

    I bought my mini ipod 2 weeks ago. I loaded one set of music on it fine, but now i've updated my itunes library and am trying to transfer the rest of the music to my mini ipod. When I connect my ipod to the computer(it's set on automatic, but I've tried manual too to no effect) it says its updating music (takes about 45 mins) The updated music is appearing under the ipod in itunes, but it doesn't appear on the actual ipod. I've tried resetting the ipod, restarting my computer, using different USB2 ports etc but nothing works. Can anyone please help?

    Try this;
    Go to SETTINGS > MAIN MENU > MUSIC and set it to ON. Then, hit the MENU button several times to get back to the main menu & see if it's there.
    You can control what appears in the main menu in this settings menu. Apparently, your ;music' option has been turned off.
    Cheers!

  • Calling all you mini ipod whizzes!! - issues with the exclamation folder!

    Please help! My mini ipod won't charge or turn on. It's 18 months old now. It is not on hold, I have tried to reset it, charge it and plug it into my computer, all to na avail. When i plug it into the mains to charge, the apple sign comes up briefly, but then the folder sign comes up. I plugged it into my brothers computer, which has his itunes software on, and it said 'do not disconnect' for a period of time, then got stuck on a tick with 'ok to disconnect' on the screen. Again no luck. I would be really grateful for any help you can give me! I am training to do race for life in a couple of weeks and miss my ipod!!

    Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

  • Mini ipod skipping

    The music on my mini ipod and on itunes keeps skipping every single song and then goes back to the beginning. I have uninstalled itunes, quicktime and the ipod software and downloaded all of the updated versions needed and it still isn't working.
    Do I need to have my ipod serviced?
    What could it be?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    If it says that the ipod cannot be mounted, restart your computer, place the ipod into disk mode (article #93651) while it is not attached to your computer. Then after your computer is booted back up plug the ipod in, then bring up the ipod updater program and attempt to restore the ipod again. This should work for you.
    songs skip on the ipod because the ipod and itunes programs installed on the computer are not up to date. The newest itunes is 5.0 and the newest ipod is 2005-09-06. If this isn't what you are using you need to update your software.

    also - be sure that you have service pack 2 downloaded and installed from the microsoft web site.

    Hey guys,
    I used the updater on a photo Ipod and on a mini Ipod. The photo ipod had no issues but the mini ipod is presenting the same problem as Simon's. After updating the software, the screen asks to plug the ipod to the wall to flash the card. After doing so it showed me the apple logo and then back to asking to plug it to the wall. It's just stuck there. I have tried resetting it several times with no luck. I tried to plug it to the computer to restore it but since it’s stuck asking to plug it to the wall the computer can't read it. I tried to put it in disc mode and didn’t work either. Any ideas on how to get out of this mess? Thank you

  • Mini Ipod Stuck waiting for a Power adapter, which i never got.

    I reset my MINI IPOD using the latest version of itunes, and at the end it asked me to plug the IPOD into the mains adapter. I never got a mains adapter with it. I have waited 3 days for the battery to run down and it hasnt. I have tried using the hold menu and Centre button, then the centre button and rewind when the apple logo appears. all i get it the picture asking for a mains adapter, which i dont have.
    Is there another way? Or do i have to wait until the battery dies? or should i charge it on the USB for a couple of days?
    help please.

    When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
    You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
    Or you can try this.

    Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

  • Mini ipod battery issue

    I have an old generation mini ipod. Despite the battery being charged full it cuts out and flashes up NO BATTERY POWER REMAINS. PLEASE CONNECT IPOD TO POWER. The battery icon flashes up with exclamation mark then completely shuts down. After leaving a few minutes eventually starts up but battery is empty. After leaving a further few minutes it eventually acknowleges a full battery and starts to work but then will shut down and repeat process.i then have to recharge via plug to get to work again.  I realise I have  a very old model ipod but can this be fixed without requiring a new battery?  Is this a common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have tried restarting but has not worked.

    Hello Paul
    The batteries that are in iPods do not last forever, they typically last about 400 times of being charged up and depleted. Check out the articles below for more information about your batteries.  The second article will give more insight and answer to questions that you might have.

  • While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    I, too, am having this problem with my classic today. It's just begun stopping itself once on each song I play today. I press the middle Select button to start it again, but this is getting very annoying! I haven't tried anything on mine today.
    EDIT: I just realized that it's now doing this more than once per song. I just had this happen three times in a single 4 and half minute song. Any clues?

  • Got new 4GB mini ipod, wont charge!! shows ipod w/sad face! HELLLP!

    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!
    Please help!

    Hey.. well the same sad face thingy happenned 2 me b4 and the weird thing was it went away! after a day! but nyway my advice.. go to ipod + itunes on the top tab and look at troubleshooting to find out to fix the problem. One place is: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/help/3/
    The second thing about the battery and an exlmaation point, it means its not charged* and if you can't plug it in2 the computer theres not much u can do. Well, i recon theres somethin wrong, but im tellin ya, go to the toubleshooting and try that and hopefully it will work. Happy Holidays
