I have an ipod classic. It is in disk mode and will not come out.

I have already restarted it with the menu and select button on a full charge (multiple times). itunes does not recognize it. Is it done for?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

My ipod classic is stuck in diagnostic mode and will not reset. Please help.

I turned on my iPod classic & it started in Diagnostic mode. I worked my way through the various tests and press this/press that instructions and now it is stuck.
I can't turn it off or reset it.
I am unable to connect it to my PC at the moment and need help so that I can use it.
I miss my music.

How did you try and reset the iPod? By pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons togehter long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
What happens if you connect it to iTunes?
If nothing else, let the battery fully drain and then charge it up.

You will just have to carefully pull harder. Push the other side back in so it is aligned, then pull it straight out.

HT4235 my ipod says disk mode and will not let me do anything. what is going on?

my ipod says Disk Mode and seems to be locked. What should i do? this is new to me. Has never happened before.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

My IPOD says Disk Mode, and will not turn on at all

I have an older Ipod. It will not turn on. It says on a dark screen. Didk Mode. It will not turn on. I has charged all night.

What happens if you try to reset the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once if no luck the first time around.

Ipod classic 120 stuck in disk mode, not recognized by windows or itunes

so ive been havin tons of problems with my new ipod 120 classic
first one day when i plugged it in it told me it was corrupted and needed to be restored
then it would not restore
i formated it with windows but that didnt seem to do anything
the other night somehow i got it to the point of naming my ipod but after that, it stopped working again
for a while i couldnt even put it into disk mode
now, when it is plugged into the computer it is stuck in disk mode, yet not recognized by the computer or itunes
it makes the sound when i plug it in but never shows up
also, when its not plugged in, it starts up and just brings me to a screen that says use itunes to restore. but then i plug it in and it goes right to disk mode and do not connect, and isnt recognized
when i unplug it i can see it pop up on my computer for that one second i unplug it
ive tried this on a number of computers and it does the same thing
when i unplug it from being plugged into the computer it just sits in diskmode saying ok to connect
if i reset it by pressing center and menu, it just goes back to the use itunes to restore screen
i cant get it to enter diagnostic mode, and when i hit center and play after center and menu it does nothing either
ive just about had it with ipods
this is my 3rd or 4th classic that i have had problems with
apple should be ashamed of themselves for such a buggy product for so much money, and very very crappy service
any help greatly appreciated....but im prety sure ill be moving onto another product after this
luckily i am still under warranty so they offered for me to send it in....but then i am without music for about a week
i feel i should be compensated for that alone, aside from just fixing it for me
please help me fix this so i can get back to some tunes!
thanks for any info

1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

Let it charge for an hour or two.
If it doesn't Coe back on, try a Reset.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

My iPod Classic is stuck in disk mode, won't charge on a wall mount, iTunes won't recognize it, and it got this way from me trying to restore it like it said. What do I do now?

So, I tried to restore my iPod to the factory settings via iTunes. It has been a few days now and its still stuck in disk mode telling me "Do Not Disconnect" and it only charges on my laptop. I tried hooking it up to a wall mount to charge and than it told me that I need to use iTunes to restore it. Here's the thing, it won't leave disk mode and its not registering on my iTunes. What can I do to get it back to normal,
Oh yeah, all of the latest updates for my software and iTunes are current.

Mee too!
That's my SMART DATA results:

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Classic 120gb stuck on disk mode and cant get it off and tried the reset ! before it went into disk mode it went it had red cross ?

classic 120gb stuck on disk mode and cant get it off and tried the reset ! before it went into disk mode it went it had red cross ?
i read on the internet that this is a harddrive fault?
please dont say it is!
also there seems to be loads of this same fault hapening to the exact same model!?
please help
Chaz

That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Without knowing what you did and exactly what happened (error messages) all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
