iPOD MINI PROBLEM.

My goshforeshaken screen won't turn on. When I plug it into the computer, my computer doesn't detect it. Is the battery dead? I friggen bought the thing on April 26th [TWO months.. sorry. I thought it was June lol]

I'm going on a 20 hour car ride tomorrow morning and I won't have any entertainment whatsoever.

I am extremely irritable.

moved to technology.

Try resetting it:

1. First, make sure the hold switch is off. If it is not, flip it to off, and turn the iPod on.
2. If the iPod still doesn't respond, toggle the hold switch on, then off again.
3. Plug the iPod into a power adapter, and plug the power adapter into a wall.
4. Reset the iPod by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds; the Apple logo should appear.
5. Let the iPod Mini restart, then plug it into your computer again.

Mine didn't come with a power adapter. =/ I don't think iPod Minis have that. Thanks for trying to help tho! :[

yeah, i'm too poor to afford an ipod mini
but i have a shuffle
and my computer doesn't read it when it's in the usb port...so i can't get any of the songs from my computer [oh well, my dad's a brother's computer have more songs downloaded from itunes than mine does anyway.]
but you could try the apple website to see if it has any help.

well, first reset it or whatever everyone else has been telling you. have you used just your charger, connected to an outlet, not your computer? it might be out of battery that it just needs time to charge on an outlet.

if you go to the apple site and look around for ipod mini help they tell you to hold down the menu button and that should work . it worked for mine when mines was like that.

I don't have one, but my big sis told me that the iPod mini has a lot of glitches that Apple still has to work out. My friend's one just stopped working even with new batteries, after one month, wtf?!

Sorry, I guess I'm not much help. :( Is it possible to get a refund or something? There's a warranty, right? >_>

Lord have mercy on your soul. i feel so bad. you are more than welcomed to borrow my portable dvd player.

you should buy one of those. i bought one cause i went on a 17 hour ride to florida. lol

Oh wow...I guess the Minis don't come with AC adapters anymore.

Well, follow those steps, but don't worry about pluggin in the AC adapter, that's not really that necessary anyway.

Put that problem in discussions on apple.com
