I just had a simple question. I recently bought and ipod, and I have two apple computers. I waswondering if I could upload songs from both computers? I ak because, when I try, a message comes up that says something like "would you like to replace all previous songs for these songs?" or something.

Should I just ignore it and continue, or what!?

The prompt should tell you everything you need to know.

MAke sure that the update on your iPod is done manually and not automatically. This will ensure that you control which songs are put in or taken out.

your internal battery is dead. Send it in for a replacement, because it will not hold a charge. Do not ever let a lithium ion battery drain all the way. It will shorten its lifespan considerably

Weird iPod Mini problem. I recently updated to the iTunes to the 4.9x release that supported Podcasting, but once the update was done ITunes recognizes my 6Gig iPod Mini but it won't transfer tunes to the iPod or delete the tunes on the iPod. Here's the kicker, ITunes says that the iPod has 58.8 Gigabytes of space with 37 Gigabytes used.

I just (last night) updated to the new ITunes 5 and the latest iPod updater. No change. Still can't get iTunes to recognize this as a 6 Gig iPod Mini. Any Ideas?

BTW, I'm using a USB connector, and I can control/update the iPod from my other PC which is still running the older versions of the iTunes/updater software. So the iPod and cable are OK.

angie,
go to apple.com and do a search on tech support. Look for how to use multiple iPods on 1 PC.

ibrahim, looks like you need a new battery. How old is the iPod? Did you let the batteries get exhausted? If you did, that is a problem, you cannot let your iPod's battery run out, you have to constantly charge it.

Sorry to add yet another question- I charged my ipod mini using the USB plugged into my computer and then when I turned it on to use it after it was fully charged all my music had disappeared. It has done this once before but after being turned off and left for a while, the music reappeared. It's now been over 24 hours though and no such luck. Any idea why or if I can retrieve all my music? Am reluctant to copy it ALL back on if possible.

ok... I wont go into details, for fear of my reputation, i know i screwed up and i dont need anyone else to tell me that... Anyway i did "something" and now all that appears is the apple logo. it will not connect to a computer. no program will recognize it. Im wondering if any program will manually recognize it and re-format it, or install a different version of it. Apple has nothing to do this so i was wondering if anyone has done something like this and found a program or method capable of resetting an ipod. PLEASE HELP, i love my mini, and they DISCONTINUED IT!:-(

Use a HD app like disk warrior or disk utility or if your on pc find a drive utility and reformat the Ipod .. . its just a portable drive. Even if its not recognized by itunes it should be recognized as a drive connected to your computer.
Then reinstall the new software.

And you need to describe "Will not connect to a Computer" better thats too vague did you jam something in the socket or are you stating that a computer wont recognize it as a plugged in device via Usb or Firewire.

My main drive is d: The apple site says that the updater won't work if the main windows drive is not c: I updated on another machine but itunes won't recognize the ipod on the machine with the d: drive. I've had this problem before but after rebooting the ipod, it is eventually recognized. Unfortunately, I forgot what exactly I did.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'll answer my own post for the benefit of those having the same problem.

In control panel, administrative tools, assign a drive letter to the ipod drive that is a higher letter than the boot drive. Then run the updater and restore the ipod from the machine with no c: drive.

The ipod will then get recognized by itunes.

my ipod mini is being retarded. when i reset it, it shows the apple icon, then the sad face, and then settles at the picture of the charging battery (but minus the animation). its stuck on that picture most of the time. my computer won't recognize it either. i'm really at a loss of what to do with this stupid thing and i've looked on the apple site and haven't found anything. please help!

actually the sad face is telling you that the iPod is dead. It needs to be repaired, there is nothing you can do to fix it.

I was charging up my iPod mini and added a few songs, then ejected my iPod out. All of a sudden, the computer recognized the iPod again, but I pulled out the wire as it happened. Now my screen is frozen with the screen that says "DO NOT DISCONNECT." I've tried to reset it by pushing the menu+select buttons, but so far that's done nothing. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know!!

hi all, my Ipod mini connects to the computer fine, it recharges the battery and displays the 'do not disconnect' message as its connected to the computer via usb. However, my problem is that whilst descriped above, a padlock symbol is shown and when I disconnect the thing, the apple logo is displayed briefly, then the menu comes up, still with the padlock logo displayed and none of the buttons work. Obviously ive checked and made sure the hold swith is off, but I just can't seem to use the buttons!!! This being the case, I can't even reset the thing! And yes I've pulled it apart and checked the wires are all plugged in. Any ideas anyone? I thank you in advance and your help is much appreciated.

Nicole Michelle . . . find your actual mp3 files on your hard drive and not the alias in itunes and drop them in your ipod. The limewire tunes you have are not in your itunes lib thier in your shared files on your hd.

Serzz .. .. Restore your ipod to factory settings with Ipod Updater, it will zero out the drive on your ipod and restore the drive.

Austin . . . same thing Restore you ipod put the latest drivers on it via Ipod Updater, also try manually placing your files on your ipod to see if they load. Unclick the option for loading files automatically in your ipod options and choose manually load files. Then just drag and drop the mp3 to your ipod icon in itunes.

I have read most of these posts and I think they have answered my question but I just want to make sure! One day i went into iTunes and all of my 409 songs were gone. They are all still on my ipod and I don't want to have to borrow all my friends CD's again just to get the songs. I was thinking of downloading an Ipod music liberator! Will that solve my problem?

Hey, I need some serious help. Ok, I've had my iPod mini for a couple of months but this only started recently. When I try to play songs on my iPod, the sound gets all messed up and you can barely hear it. The volume can be anywhere and its still all messed up. This has been happening for two weeks now. Before, it was just when I hadn't charged it, but now it happens all the time, even when it has just been fully charged. I have dropped a few times in the past, but not recently enough for me to believe that dropping it caused this damage. I can't think of what to do so please help me soon.

I have an iPod nano and I reset it and put on some songs and then once it told me it was ok to disconnect, the screen has changed from colour to black and white and there is a picture of a folder and a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle and below it says: www.apple.com/support/ipod BUT when I attempt to reset it again the same thing keeps happening!
 

Unregistered guest
I'm sure it has been posted earlier(possibly) but I will take a stab at it anyways. I also have a problem with my Ipod mini. It just doesn't work. More specificly it emits a beeping sound whenever it has a charge and is disconnected. It will still charge in usb and firewire, but it will only activate if it is reset while connected by firewire. Then it works as an ipod should. When it is disconnected the screen goes blank and no longer works. What gives?

Vexed and Perplexed! I upgraded itunes recently when prompted. THen I connected my ipod, it said my library was larger and would select songs for me. I said no. Later when I went to use the ipod it was empty! Now when I connect my 4GB mini ipod to the computer, it says updating complete, but when I eject my ipod, no songs have actually been transfered, it is empty. Then I restored the ipod to factory settings and updated it. Then I manually transfered songs by clicking and dragging in itunes. They appear and play under the ipod icon in itunes, but once again, when I eject by clicking the button, there are still NO songs or playlists on it. I am not getting any error messages. It seems to be working fine, except that I can't seem to load songs on it. Please help!

Okay... I just noticed this as I continue to fiddle with this thing... EVERY time i connect to my computer (via USB), a box pops up and it asks me to give my ipod a name and to register. If I click cancel, it acts fine and I can carry on with itunes. Just thought I'd mention that as well...

Hello,
I have an ipod photo 20gb. I dropped in water two days ago where it remained for 2-3 seconds before I pulled it out.
I freaked out a bit and pushed the click wheel and switched it to hold (as I know I should not have done with water inside of it). Since then, I have let it rest, taken it apart, blow dried it, reassembled it, charged it, reset it (menu/select) restored it through ipod update, and loaded songs onto it. The ipod will charge, and I can sync with itunes and manage songs (load and erase) when connected to my mac and itunes. It will turn on when I switch it to hold and the light will come on when I switch hold off. It will respond to a simultaneous menu and select button pressing. It will not respond to scrolling or clicking to view the music files or play music. There is no audible when the click wheel is pressed. The only response from the click wheel is when I reset (with menu/select). I feel like I am so close to a revived ipod. How can I get my click wheel to respond?
Thank you,

Im really annoyed cos i love my mini!
Can anyone clever help me?

IPOD SHUFFLE
Unregistered guest
i really need some help with my ipod shuffle. it was working great until today i opened itunes and was shocked to see that there was only a little bit of space left on my ipod. i had about 20 songs on it and it was saying that i only had 119MB left...that was strange. i took off all the songs from the ipod and it now saying that i probably have about 250MB left. what's up with that? what is stored in the other 250? i'm at a loss here. i'm not storing any data on it and everything that was on it was put there by me only. can anybody tell me how to fix this? i have no idea what is mysteriously eating all the space and i really would like to fill my shuffle to its full capacity of music that i can listen to. thank you!

I'm having the same sort of problems as above, with my iPod Mini. In iTunes it tells me that I have 138 songs, 9.7 hours and 615.4MB of music on my iPod. But then just above that it says that I have used 3.76GB and have just 2.8MB remaining. I don't see how this is possible because I do only have 138 songs, the average size being about 3 or 4MB. Please help!

Hi..

I am at a real loss here. I bought a new computer with windows XP. I loaded everything and then I installed iTunes, it worked great. Then my computer crashed so i had to restore. Now my iTunes keeps saying 'iTunes has encountered a problem and will close. Sorry for any inconveinence'. I have unistalled and reinstalled it loads of times to see if this helps, but it keeps saying the same thing.

Can someone please help. (I do not have internet access at home and it says send this message, don't sed this message.)

Thank you

My ipod mini froze about a month ago, so I reset it and left it here at school over Christmas break, charging the entire time. But when I hooked it up to put music back on it, etc. it started making this beeping noise and WON'T stop unless I keep resetting it....it seriously makes me want to jump out a window it's so annoying. The beeping happened several months ago, every once in awhile, but didn't make the ipod mini freeze like this. Anybody have any idea what's going on?

hi, i have a 4 gig ipod mini. i've had it for about ten months, but this just started happening recently. my battery bar says it has a full charge, and so does the computer when the pod is connected to the usb cable. but when i turn it on and scroll and pick a song, when it starts to play, a message says "no battery power remains, please connect ipod to power source." and then it turns off and shows the low battery symbol. if you try and turn it on that apple symbol comes on, and so does the low battery symbol, and then it just shuts off. if i wait 5 mins and try again, it will turn on but the battery bar will be empty and will then shut off again. help me please!!!

I had a problem with the music quiz giving an error that there were no songs found, like a few other posts that I read. I fixed it by resetting my nano holding the select and menu buttons down for a few seconds, after it rebooted the music quiz found all the songs and started working agian. Just thought I'd share incase anyone else had that problem too.

Hi, im simpithying with all these other mini ipod people! Mine hasnt had new songs on it for about 6 months because even though i have downloaded songs onto my computer, "update ipod" is never highlighted, and therefore i cant click on it, and therefore cant get new songs onto it. Is my only option to take it back to the factory settings and start all over again? if anyone has any suggestions, that would be fab, but if your answering, bare in mind im a bit of a dunce when it comes to computer stuff!! ta, J

hi after restoring my ipod - I got the file with !. It then told me to plug into mains - problem was that my adapter wouldn't work. Anyway I went to a store and stuck it in their mains. It showed that the ipod had been wiped but showed the menus etc. However when I connected to my laptop it all started over again and wouldn't mount etc. It then got stuck on Do Not Disconnect so I couldn't turn it off. Now it has been drained and will not recharge. Is there anthing I can do? it still has enough power to show the apple logo when I touch the click wheel, but that's it.

my ipod mini only shows the apple sign. it makes clicking noises like the inside mechanism is doing something and at regular intervals the sign disappears for like 1 sec then it all starts again. i've done everything on the apple website. it wont turn off until it runs out of battery and then if i plug it in again it just starts doing it again.
i've seen this problem on several comments above but no one's answered it

Hello.

I've recently reinstalled windows onto my hard drive so the entire hard disk was formatted. Since, my iPod Mini has the folder with a ! displayed. I no longer have the original installation disk (bad I know) and I've tried all the recommended solutions to no avail. I have the latest iPod updater (01-10-06) and iTunes version 6. Yet my PC won't register the iPod Mini.

Can anyone help?

Okay, so I bought a 4GB iPod Mini around 3 months ago. I charged it one day, then didn't use it the next day - when I go to turn it on I get the apple sign, and then the picture of the iPod with crosses as eyes and a sad smile. What has happened? Do I have to take it to get it repaired? And why has this happened?

I have an iPod Nano that is formatted to work with my Mac, running OSX. I was traveling and wanted to recharge the Nano but used my PC to do this.

It appears that the Nano charged ok but all of my files have been erased or at least appear to have been erased.

Is it possible that when I plugged the Nano into the PC that the Nano got confused by a different OS and erased everything?

If so, will I need to 'restore' the Nano then reload what I had on there originally?

Thanks!

I have the sad ipod face syndrome...i bought my 4G ipod mini 4 months ago, everythings fine, until one day it froze. I did the hold button,push menu and play reset thingy over and over again until i think i squashed the poor wheel...the apple sign does come up only to be followed by a sad face ipod...then nothing...
i tried pluggin into my computer at home and at work and it doesnt show up on neither...not on itunes and not on windows hardware devices....i know i have no problem with my USB ports, and i used my ipod on my home computer that didnt have SP2 on it and it worked before , as well as using it on my work computer (that has SP2) and it worked fine there before as well....
i installed the newer software offa apple's website...still to no avail....
i unfortunately live abroad where no Apple stores exist , so i think ive just wasted 300 bux for nothing :-(
please if anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated
(ps only one thing i havent tried, reformatting my windows, what a drag!)

If the sad face pops up on your iPod...the iPod is dead. You cannot fix it with any button combination. You have to send it in or try to fix the hard drive on your own...which you probably don't want to do.

i have an ipod mini. im guessing its a first generation im not exactly sure. i got in for christmas in '05 i believe. i had lost my ipod for a few months then found it in my car and it still worked fine. i was letting my friend borrow it for the weekend so i plugged it into her usb port to charge (i put my itunes on her comp.) and it displayed a battery with the lightning bolt but it wasnt charging it was just sitting there. i know i still had a little bit of power left on it. after that weekend i plugged it into my computer and it says the same thing and itunes doesnt recognize it anymore, it didnt show up. they tell me to reset my ipod but when i do it shows the apple for a second and shows that sad ipod face with a ! mark. i cant put it into disk mode, it wont charge, and i cant update it or restore it. is there anything i can do? ill try using someones wall charger to charge it but i still dont know what to do after that. plz help!

I use Windows 98SE, and was able to use XPlay to transfer my music. When the trial ran out, I tried Anapod, and it wiped out my music. I thought no problem, I'll just back it up on my PC. Then I accidentally "formatted" it or something, and now not even the "Music," "Extras," or those files will show up, and only a file with an exclamation point does. I don't have the Updater, because I use 98SE, so how can I restore my ipod without it??

Of course it will not be fine. IT HIT THE BOARD AND THE FLOOR!!! What did you think will happen??? That device is not a frisbee and not shock proof! You drop it and it will get messed up. Drop anything electronic that is not designed for dropping will get seriously messed up.

Send it in for repair and take better care of it. Have your friend pay for the damages.

hello, I have two problems hopefully you can help me with.

I've been charging my ipod for a couple of hours now and the "do not disconnet" will not stop flashing?

When I connect my ipod to my usb port, my computer reads songs,as diana's I-POD( H: )drive and I can listen to them using MEDIA PLAYER.

when I disconnect my IPOD from the computer and try to listen to the songs on my IPOD, my IPOD is showwing NO SONGS on it?? I know the music is on there but I don't know why I can listen to it? Can you please help.

Thank you,
Diana

My 4GB iPod Mini is only about a week old. I was in my pool and my suit was wet. The Mini was laying on my suit [i was on a floatie] and when i picked up my mini, the back was wet. Being very protective of it, I immediately got out of the pool. I tried to switch the song but none of the buttons responded. I got them to work a little while ago by restarting my Mini but when it turned off and back on again, it went back to not working. I keep restarting it and plugging in the USB but nothing has happened since the one time. I need some serious help here. Should I call the people at Apple? Send it back and get a replacement? please help

to whitney: there are many sites and programs you can use to do this. my preference is xplay. just go to mediafour.com, and click on programs, then go to xplay. download the free trial.

my 4 gb ipod mini has a problem that i dont know how to fix. I turn it on, it shows the apple sign, and then it shows a sad ipod icon and shuts off. I have tried reseting it and all of that and i cant even restore it to factory settings bc when i open ipod updater it says ipod manager internal error and the window closes. How can i fix this without having to go to the apple store and paying for it to be fixed by them??

The sad face on the icon means that your iPod has a bad hard drive and needs to be serviced professionally.

You can try to fix it yourself by replacing the hardrive. Have you done any electronic work?
