My itunes will not update my ipod mini-please help me

For the last couple of days, I have been updating my itunes with new music. However, when I connect my ipod to my PC it does not update my ipod mini with the new music. The other night it was connected and said it was charging but didn't update and right now it's plugged in and says nothing, I think the battery died. So I am wondering how in the world do i get my ipod to update. Please someone help me! I've already tried rebooting the computer, what else works?

Sounds like you've got connection problems, Al. Also, the exclamation mark means you need to restore your iPod.
Run the iPod Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your mini when it tells you to connect and iPod. This time, however, connect it to one of the ports on the rear of your computer (if you have a desktop).
If it's still not recognized by the updater, reset it: hold down the Menu and Center buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If it's recognized by the updater, choose the Restore option and follow the instructions from there.

Your iPod is probably covered by the warranty. Check here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
However, it does not cover misuse such as caused by dropping the iPod.
- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I tried to update my ipod and it didnt work,I think it got a virus and then tried to recover it but it didnt work. What should i do?

I tried to update my ipod but it didnt work and it turned off, it came up with the plug and the itunes symbol when i turned it on and thats all. So i plugged it in itunes and then tried to restore it but everytime i tried to restore it, it didnt work! So i took it to harvey norman, to see if they could fix it or restore it but they couldnt fix it . So, what should i do?

Without more information like what happens when you restore the iPod all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Updating my iPod mini from a second PC

I want to update my iPod mini from a second PC. When I start to do so I get a message that my iPod is linked to another iTunes music library and am asked: Do you want to change the link and replace all existing songs with those from this (the second) library?
Of course, I don't want to so I'm stuck and unable to update unless I'm willing to lose what's already on my iPod. Is there a workaround? Any advice much appreciated.

Click 'no' to this message, then select iPod options by right clicking on the iPod in the source window and change the transfer method to manual.
This is how you will have to keep it whilst you are using more than one computer to update your iPod.

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.

What do i do when my camera to my ipod touch isn't working

my camera on my ipod touch isn't working but it works on some apps sometimes & if it do by some chance work every time when i touch the screen on the camera logo in the right corner of the ipod touch it freezes it only happens when im using the app but when i touch the camera logo on the main menu the camera shutters don't open

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and get a replacement iPod. You problem occurs occasionally. Search the communities forum using the search feature in the upper right an search for stuck shutter to find previous posts on the subject.

How do I play my iPod Mini on my work computer using iTunes 7?

I had iTunes 6 on my work computer and I could easily play songs from my iPod Mini while I worked. Then I downloaded iTunes 7. Now I cannot play music from my iPod Mini. iTunes 7 wants me to sync my iPod Mini. But this erases my iPod Mini. Does anyone know how to play music from an iPod on another computer using iTunes 7?

Is your ipod set for "Manually manage music"?
If not, that would explain the problem. Mine is currently set to manually manage music and I'm using it on my work PC with iTunes7
There are however, alternatives to using itunes to playing music from your ipod if you can't get it working...e.g. Pod Player (http://www.ipodsoft.com/site/pmwiki.php?n=podplayer.Homepage)
Hope that's of some help

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

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!
Patrick
