iPod Fiasco
I've got three dead ipods, if you can believe it. None of them work and I want to put them in a vice, one at a time and reduce them to post-modern art. The iPods are as follows:
1) 1st generation White 512 Meg iPod Shuffle
2) 2nd generation Silver 2 Gig iPod Shuffle
3) 2nd generation Pink 4 Gig iPod Mini (Model A1051)
The iPod Mini was hosed up pretty good so I reset the iPod by holding down the Menu and Select (center) button. This made the Apple logo show up, which was promising. But then it just froze with the Apple logo on the screen.
Now, I will try this: Restoring iPod to factory settings. The problem is that when I connect it to my computer with iTunes running, the PC does not recognize the iPod has been connected and the Apple logo is just frozen on the screen.
I tried several times to get the Mini to go into Disk Mode, but have not been successful.
When I plugged it back in, I saw a battery logo on the iPod Mini screen. I'm beginning to suspect the ipod's battery is dead. Maybe I should try replacing the iPod Mini's battery.
