iPod Mini (2004) gives me an error when turning on. Hey all, I'm here trying to figure out why my iPod mini keeps giving me an error, more specifically it gives me a warning sign, a lil' iPod with a dead sad face, and a " www.apple.com/support/ipod " link. As shown here: I tried restarting by clicking the click-wheel button and the menu button at the same time for eight seconds and still gives me the support screen. Albeit with the apple logo appearing then the support screen appears. I know it can be connected because when I connected to my PC it makes it noise as it connects but no folders appear, and iTunes does not give me access to the iPod. If I put it charge it gives me a charging screen but no animation, and sometimes restarts back to the support screen. I have no idea what do to at this point. I just want to listen to my music! :(

1st Gen iPod Touch 8GB wont boot, S/N not displayed in iTunes Hello! I have a 1st Gen iPod touch that has been sitting in a drawer uncharged for a long time (at least a few years). When I connect it to iTunes I get the option to restore it, though this only results in the error message "Software for this iPod is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again." My iTunes is up to date. Another note is that the serial number is displayed as "n/a." My two suspicions about this iPod are this: The battery has been permanently damaged due to being uncharged for so long (again, years). This iPod may not be supported anymore and firmware may no longer be available. So, which of these hunches is true? Or am I totally off base? I don't have much experience with this generation of iPod or dealing with devices this old that have been neglected for so long. Can the genius bar replace the battery for me if need be?

You may not have reconnected the hard drive properly.
