Anyone got one?

I have just bought a 60Gb photo one, and cant find anywhere in the instructions how long the first charge cycle should be.. Anyone know? I have no way of telling how far charged it is, as all I can see on the screen is the apple screen saver and it wont turn on

I'd be gratefull if anyone could help.

Doesnt it say in the instruction manual how to turn it on?

I think from what I remember any key turns on it?

Are you charging off the wall or from a USB port?

 

In the instructions for my Nano it says charge for at least 3 hrs before using it 1st time! hth

 

Read that bit, and none of them seem to work... Hold is set to the on position too.

Trying to find out if on the initial charge, if it has to be charged up fully before you can switch it on?

 

take hold off and then try it.

 

hold is/was off

 

if hold is on it won't switch on lol...that disables all the buttons

i charged my ipod overnight 1st time and it was fine

 

perhaps its faulty. they really arent that hard to turn on.

is there like a pin reset button that you press with a needle?

 

any button turns mine on

 

if you've just got the apple logo it means the battery is dead...

I left my mini on charge overnight. I think I needed to plug it into the wall for an update after its done before it will work

 

it just needs charging, plug it in, leave it alone and come back to it later

Cheers lads. The iPod has been on charge for 4 hours now (In a mains docking station, and still just getting the apple logo?

 

Ok, stupid question...
Have you connected it to your computer yet?

 

No mate... Does it need to be regestered or somethig along those lines?

 

I've never turned mine on without plugging it in so I don't really know. set up yourself with iTunes (if you don't already have it) and plug up your iPod and see what happens.

 

yes it needs to be linked to your PC to be formatted and the software loaded on, plug it in the firewire port (it will still charge) and see what happens

 

Thanks for your help.

Fastmaul Which bit of NJ do you live in? I spent a weekend in Hoboken last year, fantastic place

 

Dude!! I live 5/10 mins from Hoboken!! I live in Jersey City close to the waterfront.

So did it help? plugging in the iPod?

 

What a cool place, the mile square city Never seen so many bars in my life

I'm going to have to phone Apple up... When I 1st got the iPod I plugged it into my PC and nothing happened. I went through the CD, however when I got to the formatting section the PC did'nt identify with the iPod. When it did'nt format, I assumed that it had all ready been done, as the window said "iPod MAY require formatting"

Tried again from my laptop at home and the samething happened, however now I can't even get the apple logo to appear on the screen

Thanks for your help all the same

 

Just heard there was a gas explosion in NJ. You OK, was it far off?

 

i have a mini, charge it up & you should see a battery in the back ground which means its charging, i suggest you use the firewire charger first mate, it will charge far more better than a USB, but when i first had my mini about 8 months ago, i installed i tunes first & then it said connect the ipod to the computer using the USB lead so it can get some data of i tunes & then you should be done, charge it after, then put some tunes on to it, remember ipods dont play WMA. files so only MP3's

 

There was?? where?? I work in New York City. I haven't heard anything yet..guess I best go ask around. LOL
