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!

Connect it to iTunes, select the Nano in the "devices" column and click "Restore". The warning window you get will ask you if this is what you really want to do.
Your very lucky friend will essentially have it in the same condition as if she bought it new.
One more thing: if you registered it in My Support Profile, make sure to un-register it. Only you can do that. Have your friend register it under her own Apple ID.

I have purchased a new mini mac and I want to leave the library where it is on the external drive but move to new mini mac and have it show as it did on the old mini mac..
what do i need to do ?
I have found multitude of articles about moving itunes to external drive or other similar things but I don't want to move itunes from the external drive, just change mini mac machines and have everything in itunes the same..
Thanks

I had already tried that one and got this...
below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help

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Looks like the product is obsolete and it is not possible to get it fixed.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.

Hello. I just bought an iPod mini and I it says I need a pas code to initiate. The first time I turn it on it worked now it is asking for pass code and I didnt put one on it. What can I do?

I bought an iPod mini and I was able to work on it one night. Now it says I need a 4 digits pass code to initiate and is blocked. What can I do?

You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

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.

I lost all the recovery partition to recovery mac mini from beginning, what do I need to do? please help

I lost all my partitions to recovery my mac mini server, what do I need to do to put them back on? help Thanks

Did your Mac Mini come pre-installed with Mountain Lion? If so, use Internet Recovery (Command+Option+R) keys at restart. You should see a spinning globe. This will boot into Apple's server Recovery HD and let you reinstall ML. So, you will need an Internet connection. Your apps and data will not be touched as this will just install the OS on top of itself.
Backup your system first before doing the above.

I think my iPod Mini has battery memory. I need help.

I searched all over this site before I bought my Mini and this site said that you can't get battery memory on iPods. Well, everything that's happening to my Mini now, suggests to me that I have battery memory.
After charging it it displays the "no battery power remaining" symbol.
After charging it again for about 4 hours, it plays for about 2 and then that symbol appears again.
Sometimes I can then switch it on again right after and play it for about another 4 before it displays it again.
So please help if you can. Is this battery memory? And if there anyway to replace the battery if it is? Or fix it if it isn't?
I'd really appreciate iit if you could help me

Sounds to me like it's time for a new battery. Lithium-ion batteries of the type used in the iPod do not suffer from the memory effect.

This is just one of the many sites that provide a cheaper service than Apple.

Selling my Photoshop CS3 online, what do I need to know about serials?

I now have CS5, which means that my CS3 has become obsolete.
I have never registered the product, but have used the serial number to activate it on a couple of occasions. I am now using a brand new computer, and so, haven't got Photoshop CS3 installed at all. I plan to sell it on eBay, but am worried about the serial number being unusable for the new user. Is there anyway to 'deserialise' or deacitivate the serial number so that a new user can install and activate as if it were a new product.
Thank you for taking the time to answer, if you do :-)

That would be absolutely illegal—and you would be ripping the buyer off.
Once you used CS3 to upgrade, you can not sell it legally, nor would it activate for a different user.
The only way you could sell it would be by selling the entire Photoshop license you own, including CS5.
Oy!

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!

Ipod Mini--- no longer selling?

Are they no longer selling "ipod minis?" have they been replaced by the ipod nano? that would be really awful because I was just going to buy one. My reason to thinking that they aren't selling them anymore is in the Apple Store Website they dont mention the ipod mini in things you can buy..so please tell me if you know anything! thanks for your help..

Sonya,
"Does anyone know when they started to discontinue the ipod mini? because then I will know how much of a chance i have to get an ipod mini from a store. its amazing, theyve only been around for about a year and now they are already gone."
Your sense of timing is as goofy as your sense of time. The Mini has been around for longer than a year. Apple didn't "started to discontinue" the Mini - it DISCONTINUED the Mini when the Nano appeared, just over a month ago. Many retailers still have a supply of Minis.

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?

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)..
