Sad ipod icon wont go away

my click wheel ipod displays a sad icon and is not recognized by updater, itunes or my computer. When I plug into the power cord it cycles through the apple logo, the sad ipod then low battery display. I have tried the R's, software reinstall but nothing seems to work. The trouble seems to be in the ipod. I have had a Dell DJ for 2 years and not one problem. I purchased the ipod in May from the apple site and it worked fine for a month. Whats the deal apple.

My ipod touch 4g is turning up or down by itself, and the speaker icon wont go away

Okay this first started yesterdy morning, when my ipod touch4g was acting funny it wouldnt turn off, so i thought if i plugged it in it would fix itself, so i thought restoring would help it,made it worse it started turning off and on apple logo came on a few times, now i got it where i can turn it off and on okay but now i cant seem to controle the volume, and the speaker icon is showing and wont go away, and when i try turning it down when i play a song or a video, it will turn back up by itself, or it will turn down by itself,
what would be the best way to fix this without taking it in? the nearest apple store is dallas and i dont wanna spend all the money in gas to go up there, and then see what arm and leg i gotta cut off to get them to fix it.
should i restore and resync it one more time or should i start saving for a new ipod along with the new computer im needing?

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod has songs that wont go away!!

Hello there, my white ipod touch 4g 32gb has several songs that wont go away, even when synced with a different playlist.
also the iPod had greyed out songs in its library and duplicated songs.
PLEASE HELP!

If you relaunch the finder the phantom iPod folder should disappear.
You can do this by holding down the option key and right-clicking the finder icon in the dock, or by ctrl-option left-clicking the finder icon in the dock, and selecting "Relaunch" from the pop-up menu.

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

Displays Sad Ipod face, but then goes away and displays very low battery.

It keeps switching between these 2, does it need repair or what?

Here is a pretty comprehensive post about the sad iPod 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.

Little sick ipod icon wont go away

hey all,
my ipod screen displays the little sick ipod picture. iv tried, recharging in, reseting it, restoring it... everything but the picture still remains. My first ipod I sent away because it froze, this is the replacement one they send me and the 90 day warranty expires a few days ago. any tips?

1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.

Ipod keeps showing 'sad ipod' and wont charge or turn on

I have an ipod classic which has 30 gb, and when I try to turn it on it shows the apple logo, than a sad ipod icon that says 'www.apple.com/support/ipod' and than 'please wait very low battery' and then it shows the apple logo again, and it repeats forever. I've reset it, and restored it twice. I'm trying to restore it now but it won't turn on. When I charge it, it repeats the cycle, even though it's fully charged. Is there anyway I can turn it back on?

Sounds like the charging cable might be toast.
You can get one cheap as dirt on eBay. I bought some spare ones.
Go to your Apple dealer and ask to try a cable plugged into something. That'll be the best way to verify unless you have another cable.
Maybe try wiggling the cable when plugged in.

Help with sad ipod

Im trying to fix my freinds Ipod Nano. It won't turn on or respond to being plugged into a power sorce, so it wont display battery charge. When i try to restart it (togle hold, then press and hold slect & menue) it will try and restart like normal but when the apple logo goes away it displays the "Sad Ipod" sign(a ipod with X eyes and a frown, beside it is a triangle with a ! in it). When i tryed to force it into disk mode it wont work, i reset and right when i see the apple logo i hold select and pause/play. but it still goes to sad ipod when the apple logo goes of. what should i do?

See these troubleshooting articles.

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.
