Re: Ipod Mini Won't Charge The same thing happened to me. I kept wondering why it wouldn't charge, but then realised it needed a reset.
On your ipod mini, toggle the hold button (turn it on and then turn it off), then hold the Menu and the select button (top part of the click wheel and the center button) for about 10 seconds.
The Apple logo should appear and your ipod will start charging.
Good luck! |

That's superb - I was having exactly the same problem, and resetting it sorted it out totally.... |

I also wanted to thank you for your great tip! Mine was almost fully charged, so I don't have any idea why it needed reset, but it works great again now. Thanks again!

Thanks druvak. I was freaking out too. This seems to be a design fault, as like so many others on the forum I had done nothing that should warrant a reset. Hopefully Apple will sort this out for newer models. |

thanks for the resetting info druvak! I figured it needed a reset, but had NO idea how to do it (of course it's not just as simple as pressing a reset button, right? they had to go with the next most intuitive option: toggle hold on/off, then press & hold menu and select for 10 seconds..... :>
thanks though!
