Hi there,

I am new to this forum, and to our Mini.

I have a question and I wasn't sure where to post it.

We recently purchased a 2006 Mini convertible that has the iPod package. The iPod works great in the car and charges, but I cannot get it to sync with my Mac or PC. Both have the minimum system requirements to pick up the 3G iPod but it is not being seen by either. I am trying to sync it so that I can throw some new music on there.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I moved your thread to the 1st Gen ICE (In Car Entertainment) forum, where someone can hopefully answer your question.

How to reset iPod

Are you using USB or Firewire to connect the Gen 3 iPod to your PC/Mac? The Gen 3 should sync using USB but requires FireWire to charge while connected.
