Doesn't seem to charge, not being read, and have the sad face

pretty much it. I have the 80G. It was freezing today so i tried restarting it but then it didn't respond to the buttons as if it was on hold but the music was still playing but the screen was frozen. So i hooked it up to a ipod boombox so it would kinda charge and reboot itself. Next thing i know, i'm getting the sad face and even though it's now been plugged into the computer for about 3 hours, there is no sufficient charge and when it does come on i still get the sad face.

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

  • Ipod not being read and freezing

    When I plug my ipod into my computer, it goes to "do not disconnect" but not the flashing do not disconnect. Its frozen. My computer wont read it. So I unplug it and its frozen. I know how to restart it but that doesnt help me from when it freezes again once I hook it up. How do I stop it from freezing and not being read. Thanks

    i am having a similar problem with my 4g 20G
    it freezes when i try to update. i thought maybe it was the latest version of itunes i recently installed but i reverted back to an old updater version and itunes 6 and while i was able to get 300 songs on the ipod without freezing, when i tried to put the rest of my library on there it freezes. i've even tried to put as little as 15 songs on at a time and that still freezes the ipod.

  • Disc is not being read and is not stuck

    MacBook is not reading my disc and now it is stuck inside.  How do I get it out?

    You may need to reset it. Put the hold switch to the OFF/White position. Now toggle it ON/orange then back off again. Then press and hold both the MENU and center buttons on the iPod and hold them for a good 15 seconds or so. Your iPod should reboot starting with the Apple Logo screen.
    If it doesn't work the first time, give it a second or third go. Sometimes it takes a few/several tries.
    See this thread as an example of what I mean by needing to try it many times...

    If that doesn't work, you may need to restore it, but to do that, you may need to put it into disc mode...

  • Leading in Pages. I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size, but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would

    I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks
    Message was edited by: Just me then

    If you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

  • Video Ipod not being read by CPU(Need Help other post did not help)

    My 30G Ipod is not being read by the coumputer, I tunes, or even the Ipod restore software. When i plug in my pod it turns on and charges...i can play music. When i turn it off there is a battery symbol and it says charging...i reinstaled ipod software...i did the two button reset, i tried it on all four of mr PC's Oh yeah...it make a soft high pitch noise when it charges.

    I can't help I'm afraid! I have exaclty the same unresolved problem and getting severely miffed that a £300 product has suddenly became a heap of junk.

  • DV devise not being read by computer

    I'm baffled by my issue.
    Two cameras (Optura 20, DVX100) not being read by my eMac.
    1 Sony cam reads fine.
    Only recently, after 3 years of my Optura being used as a deck on my eMac, decides it doesn't want to communicate with my eMac, and another G5 tower.
    -tried disconnecting all other fire wire and usb cords
    -tried different fire wire cords
    -tried logging in as a different user
    -tried different inputs
    I'm affriad there's a softwhere instalation i made on my comp that is interfearing with reading these DV devises.
    I tried trashing previous Quick Time pkg files in my Library/Recipts...nothing.
    Even my System Profiler has a hard time trying to read the signal when my cameras are plugged in. It won't even read an external HD if the camera is plugged in.
    If there are any other suggestions out there...
    I'M STUMPPED!!
    Once I figured it was a software issue, the same issue occured when I tried plugging into a different G5 tower.
    I'm trying to think if settings on the cameras are blocking/causing the issue. Still can't make sense of it all.
    Do you keep "DV Out" off or on?
    Thank you KINDLY in advance.

    Crzy K.

  • XML file not being read by Accordion Demo

    I had this working last week and it was a beautiful thing. I
    subsequently added many more product items to the products.xml file
    and resent it, now the products.xml file is not being read by the
    index page. I have read all the posts and added all the suggested
    fixes -
    added {useCache: false} to result in var dsProductFeatures =
    new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml", "products/product[name =
    '{dsProducts::name}']/features/feature",{useCache: false})
    added <cfheader name="Cache-Control" value= "no-cache">
    <cfheader name="Expires" value="0">
    <cfheader name="Pragma" value="no-cache"> to header
    added var d = new Date();
    var cToday = d.getSeconds();
    var spryURL = "
    http://localhost:8500/SpryMe/Sample1/employees.xml?cacheBuster="
    + cToday; to header
    but my xml file is not being read. The script is running
    because the little fields on the right are moving.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    What's happening if you open the xml page (employees.xml)
    directly in browser. Are you able to see all the records? Is the
    XML valid?
    Regards,
    Dragos.
    PS: do you have a public URL where we can see that?
