IPod nano stuck on Apple logo; won't boot.

I have an iPod nano that seems to charge, but won't boot. There's no sad iPod logo or anything, just the Apple logo. I can boot it into diagnostics mode, and it seems to be fine. However, it won't go into disc mode.
Any advice?

This tread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=723183) is about the same problem you're having. At some point it's said:
"Hold down Select / Menu (to reboot the iPod)
As soon as the Apple logo appears, hold down Rewind / Select until...
...you see a backwards Apple Logo.
At this point, you will have entered Diagnostic Mode. It'll test the RAM, and then tell you to HIT PLAY TO CONTINUE. Hit 'Play'.
You'll be in a menu that you advance by hitting FF (Fast Forward). Advance to the 'DISKMODE' entry.
Hit 'Select.' This will put you into Firewire Disk mode. The screen should change to the familiar 'Do Not Disconnect' mode. At this point, connect it to the computer.
Run the restore utility; it should now recognize the iPod and offer to Restore the factory software. Do so. You'll lose whatever's on it, but you'll avoid having to send it back in to Apple and paying repair fee."

  • My iPod Nano Stuck in Apple Logo

    My iPod Nano 3rd gen. stuck in apple logo. I did the reset thing and yes --it reset but will stay in Apple logo. I also tried the disk mode thing --and it did not work. What should I do???

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
      - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Ipod Nano stuck on apple logo screen

    So my little brothers Ipod Nano 4th generation is stuck on the Apple logo screen. I've reset it a couple of times, but it won't leave the apple logo screen. I wasn't able to get it into disk mode, and my laptop wasn't regonizing it, but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it. Is there anything else I can do, or is it time to take a trip to an Apple Store? Any help would be, well, helpful

    but two days ago our desktop's Itunes recgonized it
    Since the desktop was able to recognize it, did you restore it in iTunes?

  • Ipod Nano Stuck on Apple Logo

    My Ipod Nano seems to be stuck on the apple logo. I tried a hard reset and it did nothing and itunes isn't recognizing it. When a similar thing happend to my Ipod Touch i was able to boot into recovery mode and restore a backup. Does Ipod Nano have the same mode?

    Hello Elektra2009,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I am no guru when it comes to iPod touches, but I do know that nano has no feature like that. However, if you have already tried a hard reset, I would try manually putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]. If you can do that, and get iTunes to recognize it, I think it would be an excellent idea to restore as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I restore my Ipod Nano 6th gen, apple logo won't show up on Ipod when I do a hard reset just a circle with a line through it.

    When it shows up in Itunes it said I need to do a restore. When I do that an error 1439  comes up. it is stuck in recovery mode.

    Are you using the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches installed?  It might not hurt to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port, preferably a high powered 2.0 one on the back of your PC.
    See here for more troubleshooting.

  • 2nd generation nano stuck on Apple logo

    My 2nd generation nano is stuck on the Apple logo, although the logo does flash on and off every few seconds. It is possible to put the nano into disc mode and access its content through iTunes. I've tried "restore" and the process is completed to the point of saying the iPod is being restarted, and to wait for it to appear in the iTunes window. Unfortunately, it never shows up in iTunes and the iPod itself ends up back in the Apple-logo-flashing mode.
    Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the 5 R's as well as the suggested procedure in the link. Unfortunately, the problem persists.
    One issue I've wondered about is whether or not a dead battery could play a part in this problem. It seemed that battery charge retention was becoming a issue for a while before this problem started. It's hard to know now if the battery is charged or not, as the iPod will only function in disc mode when it's attached to the computer through a USB link. When I attempt to charge the iPod through an adaptor and a wall outlet, the battery charge icon does not appear on the screen; then, as at all other times, the only thing that is visible on the iPod screen is the Apple logo. I don't see how the battery could be the only problem, however, since the iPod is recognized by the computer (iTunes) only when it's in disc mode.

  • Mac stuck on apple logo, can't boot to disk utility...

    iMac 2010 running Yosemite.
    Stuck on apple logo with loading wheel but does not progress from here. Have booted in single user mode and proceeded to do the /sbin/fsck -fy steps until the volume was reported as okay, this did little to help. I can boot using the option key and can see the hard-drive and recovery partition are there however cannot boot using command+R to access the disk utility as it simply stays on the apple logo.
    Was wondering if anyone could advise what to do from here.
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod Touch stuck on Apple Logo Screen

    Today, I spilled some water on my iPod touch, but I dried it up right away. Now, however, the iPod is stuck on the apple logo. I've tried holding down the lock and home buttons and the screen will go black and then the apple logo appears again, but it won't go any farther than that. I plugged it into my computer to restore it, but my computer won't recognize it.
    Did I kill my iPod, or is there anything I can do? It's less than a year old, so it's still under warranty, but is there any point in bringing it in?

    my ipod touch is doing the same thing. it is so frustrating because it is frozen on the apple screen with two lines and won't respond to the computer and sometimes it will go to a screeen we pink vertical lines with the apple screen in the background. i called apple yesterday and they made me wait a day but nothing happened. any advice?

  • My iPod is stuck on apple logo and I get a 1434 Error when trying to restore it.

    Hello, I hope somebody can help me. I have a 120 gb ipod classic (6th generation). I purchased it a long time ago. It was working fine for a few years and then suddenly it's been stuck on the apple logo ever since.
    I tried to restore it by putting in on disk mode and connecting it to my Mac. My iTunes recognizes the device (But my Mac doesn't!). On iTunes, I tried to restore it, but I get an error message 1434, stating that the restoration could not be completed.
    I read that I should try to erase the drive with Disk Utility, but when I get there, the button to erase the drive is unclickable. I tried to partition as well, but it also did not work (maybe I am doing it wrong? Could somebody direct me with better instructions?)
    I'm wondering if the hard drive is dying, or if I have a bad ribbon, or if the logic board itself is broken. Not sure what method of action I should take. I can't even get into the diagnostic screen.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hello E1777,
    You can try this link to download iTunes from the Apple website. It should resolve the issue for you.

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation Apple Logo staying on screen

    Hey guys, I had just bought myself this iPod today and had it for an hour listening to music and when i put it to sleep could not get it to wake up again.
    I tried to reset it and the Apple Logo showed up but stayed like this and no matter how many buttons I pressed it would still stay on the screen.
    It stayed on the screen for a couple of hours then went black.
    When I plug it into my computer iTunes doesn't recognise it.
    If (when plugged in) I hold the Sleep/wake + home button down and let it cycle twice the the reset process a sound will beep to signigy that my computer has recognised it and a message will appear on iTunes telling me to download the recovery program for my iPod.
    When I click continue the iPod wakes up and again disconnects from the computer and keeps the Apple Logo on screen.
