After a power outage, iPod now displays Apple Logo and wont turn off

I had my iPod connected to my PC (not on iTunes or Syncing), and when the power went out I unplugged my iPod from the PC and it now displays the apple logo without backlight, then with backlight. I tried resetting, but it only repeats the pattern.

I'm sorry to hear about your ipod. you could try restoring it.

will walk you through the 5 rs including restoring your ipod.
I hope you still have all your music on the computer. restoring the ipod deletes every thing off the ipod.

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

    You repeat yourself frequently frequently.  Perhaps your iPhone is not charged.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 80g video ipod just displays apple logo and makes loud clicking noises

    I've had my ipod 80g for a little over two years, with few incidents, and it's about 50 g full. When I most recently connected it to my computer, it started making these loud whirring and clicking noises and the apple logo is all that shows. I know the ipods can't be expected to last more than a few years (or so I'm told) so my question is what to do. Should I take it into the apple store and have the hard drive totally wiped of all my music, should I try some alternative fix (this strange business card opening the ipod technique, for instance?), or is there something else I should try? Is an ipod in this stage even salvagable? Thanks!

    i had the same problem. i saw a great video on how to fix it and it worked for me.
    the guy who posted it also offers free advice. check it out. good luck.

  • IPod sticks on Apple logo screen, then turns off

    Hey everyone.
    This just began happening about 30 minutes ago. After un-plugging my iPod (I think i did everyhting right, I followed all of the procedures), my iPod showed the black screen with the Apple logo on it. Ever since then, the iPod has been making a clicking noise and the black screen with the Apple logo on it will light up for about 10 seconds, the light will go off, the ipod will turn off for a second or so, and then repeat this process.
    Thanks alot.
    P.S.- I have already tried the 5 R's. I have tried hooking up my iPod the the cable that charges it and my computer wont even notice that the iPod is attached. I have also let the battery run out, and then recharging my Ipod and trying again, the same thing happens.

    After trying every other opetion, with no success, I went to Best Buy and got a new one (thank god for warranties.)
    They informed me that it was a dead hard drive. If this problem is still happening for anyone, the best thing to do is to take it to the store you bought it from and, as long as you have a warranty, they will issue you a new iPod.

  • Ipad was working fine and now has black screen and wont turn off or on or do anything

    Ipad was working fine and now is a black screen. Won't do anything now

    Is it charged? If not charge it with the supplied charger.
    If charged, have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.
