Ipod cannot be recognized and a weird symbol!

I accidentally dropped my ipod on the ground once. Then after that, my ipod cannot be recognized by my computer.It has been ttached to the computer for nearly an hour and nothing has happened. Usually, my computer recognizes my ipod and then itunes starts to update my ipod. AFter it's done updating, the "do not disconnect" sign will disappear. But now it's not the way anymore. The "do not disconnect" is still there the whole time even after it has been connected to the computer for nearly an hour. Plus, the ipod feels hot by the way. However, I cannot recognize this symbol on the top left on my ipod's screen. It looks like a alternating clock or a flower-like object (sorry it's hard to describe it). Can anyone tell me what's going on? Please help me! Thank you!!!

  • Ipod is not recognized and is stuck on apple black screen.

    So here's the story:
    I have a 30Gb ipod.A few days ago it ran out of battery.and now ive been trying to charge it on my computer but it gets stuck on the black screen with the apple in it and keeps making some weird "start up" sounds all the time.I've tried resetting, reinstalling iTunes and a lot of other guides that ive been searching throughout the internet.I've ran out of options so I'd like to know if anyone could help.
    Issues: 1-Ipod is stuck on black screen and doesnt charge
    2-Ipod is not recognized by either windows or Itunes
    3-When i try to put him and bring it back from disk mode it keeps the same.
    I think that's all.any questions anyone might have please post it here.Don't suggest to try and make him run out of batteries cuz it doesnt stay on for long.It stays on the black screen and then shuts off.any help/hint/suggestion that doesn't involve buying a new one is appreciated :/
    Thanks in advance.

  • Ipod is not recognized, and doesn't show up in my computer services. Why? And how can I fix this issue?

    My ipod is not recognized on my windows 7 anymore. Drivers are up to date and working properly, everything on my computer is fine, it's just my Ipod. It does not show up in my "Services". It's not my computer, because it doesn't work on any other computers either. I do not know what to do, and I really need help please.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod cannot be recognized by itunes and it won't charge

    I have a couple of problems with my 30g ipod. First of all it won't be recognized by my itunes( nothing is wrong with itunes at all). Second it has a sad icon. Third it has a charging icon but it is not animated and when i go and reset it, it just goes back to the sad icon.What should i do?

    You can take it to an Apple store if that's more convenient. They have been known to exchange faulty iPods on the spot.
    If you send it in, Apple usually aim for a one week turnaround, but it can be more (or less) depending on how busy they are.

  • My ipod cannot be recognized by my computer

    My 4G nano works perfectly fine when playing music.
    but when I connect it to my computer.
    The changing icon is shown, but it doesn't pop out in iTune. I enabled it disk use, but now I cannot find the drive.
    Seems it is connected (it's charging), but my computer doesn't recognize it.
    I tried it both on windows and mac, and it is the same.
    The day before I stopped iTune when iPod is synchronizing. I believe that causes the problem.
    I reset my nano. But problem is still there.
    and because my computer cannot recognize it, I cannot restore it.
    What can I do with it?
    Thanks!

    See if any of these articles help.

    Although if you can't get it recognized on a Mac either, that would suggest an iPod issue that may need service. Or a visit to an Apple store if one is nearby.

  • My laptop no longer recognizes my iPhone but it appears in Microsoft. However my iPod is still recognized and syncs

    A couple of weeks ago my old 3s iPhone stopped automatically syncing with my microsoft laptop however it did appear in Explorer. My iPod synced no problem. I took no action because I thought the old phone may have had a problem and was about to buy a new one anyway. Now have a 5c but it has the same problem.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Ipod touch not recognized and will NOT reset, therefore none of the "regular" solutions apply.  The apple logo comes up, it boots to "connect to itunes" then stays there forever.  Unintallling reinstalling itunes components also failed.

    I have tried all the regular solutions so please don't clog up the post with those suggestions.  This  problem has been presented many times in many different ways and NEVER solved.  I bought the Ipod touch 3g on ebay so it may have been jailbroken or attempts made in that regard.  What I want to know is:
    IS THERE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS SYMPTOM, because I always hear the line "ipod firmware is indestructable" even if jailbreakers have messed with it.  I believe the only logical choices here are either ONE: the firmware on the ipod touch CAN be altered to make it inoperable, or TWO: There is a specific hardware malfunction that results in this symptom.    It would be nice if someone knows for sure one way or the other.  I am too far from a dealer to plug it in for analysis.  I am in Cedar Rapids Iowa and to my knowledge the closest hookup is DesMoines, about 120miles.

    Thanks, you brought up an interesting subject---exactly WHAT happens when the battery is completely drained?  And what's the best way to drain it?  Do you usually HAVE to do a restore after a dead batt?  If so, maybe this is the solution. because it seems to think it has booted properly, and yet it won't continue past "connect to Itunes screen, then it soon goes into hybertation and power save just like normal.   Is ALL memory taken out of the device, like draining a cmos on a desktop,  I have been contemplating draining the bat just like holding in the power button to drain a cmos.  The only other logic that makes sense is the usb interface (as you mentioned, "iPod is not immune to hardware problems")  I bought TWO new cables, to no avail.  MAYBE it is a mechanical connection issue and not a software one, I guess I'll try that too.
    edit:  sorry, missed this in your suggestion...as mentioned here, it does NOT stay on, but goes into power save so batt won't drain that way.
