30 gig ipod Black screen... wont change.....

I have a slight problem with my iPod. I just recently charged it to full and put a lot of videos on it, a whole series. Then turned it off. But when i turned it on again, it displayed the black logo screen.. I reset it, black screen somes up again. I left it on all night with it connected to the computer. It did this before but now its taking forever. The longest its ever taken was about an hour. But now It wont go to the menu screen. My computer is not recognizing it.
How long does the black screen show for?
Is it because of all the data i just put on it?
your help is apreciated..
AMD Athlon 64 3000+   Windows XP  

ummm... my computer wont recognize it when its showing the black screen.. i reinstalled the software and reset it.. keeps the black screen on till it runs out of batteries.. So i cant reset it... can I? My Pc cant recognize it.. It done it before but it never took this much time.. could it be like defragmenting the data???.. i put a lot of movies on it at once.

  • Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

    So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

    It might be one of two things.
    I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
    Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
    Or i might be misunderstanding.
    You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

  • Ipod billing screen wont take valid security key?

    Alright, so my credit card time expired for apple. So I go in a select a new date for it to expire the next time. But when I put in the security key for my card it keeps saying invalid key.(note this is on my ipod touch). The problem is, the key I have IS valid. So I went into my apple account(on the apple site) and put in the key, it takes it and everything. When I use my ipod and go to download music, applications, or updates it tells me I have to sign in. So I do, but than it takes me into a screen with my billing info asking for the security key and to set a new experation date. Again. I did all it asked for, hit done, selected a county, but it sends me back to the screen once again saying the key is invalid. The apple site will take they key and say its valid, but on my ipod it says its invalid... So I tried going in and re-entering my credit card info and etc.on the site and it worked, for the site anyways, not the ipod. So basically my problem here is: Itouch billing info screen wont take valid security key.
    Ive tried re-entering my info, making sure the adresses and everyting are the same, but nothing seems to work and I cant download anything to my ipod until this works. Please help!
    NOTE: Please dont send me a link to the part of the apple site telling me to redo my info, like I said, I already tried that.

    I am having the same exact problem. It's like I am not putting the right information, but I have quadruple checked several times. It asks for me to put in a a new security code then it takes me to city/county and it only has one option(which is the right one. I don't understand what is happening...I mean we have 3 people who have the same problem..is there an answer to this?

  • My iPod touch screen wont turn on.

    the other day when i woke up my iPod touch screen was off so i tried to turn it on but i would not come on.then i tried to charge it,it will hook up to the computer but the screen still wont turn on. what should i do??

    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 another cable
    - 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 black screen..

    Hey,
    I have had my ipod around a year now, 4th gen. This past week it started to freeze up on me alot at random times. Three days ago i was listening to it one night and all of a sudden it froze completely, so i did the menu + select restart. After that the apple icon comes up for about 6-10 seconds and then the screen goes black. When the screen goes black i can hear the hd working, and the battery is fully charged.I have even tried to restore it via factory settings, but computer wont recognize and it also freezes up in data mode.
    thanks

    Try the standard fixes:

    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Ipod's playlist wont change

    I try to move around my songs on itunes to however i like but then i eject ipod and disconnect from my computer yet the songs are in the same order as when they were in itunes. How do you make the changes stick?

    I ended up fixing the problem by going back to version 8.0.2 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL735), but it was a somewhat of a pain.
    I did read something on another post that in version 8.1.1, after you organize the playlist on the 2nd gen view, you can right click on the device (left column) and click "Copy to Play Order". I'm not sure why it would be called that or why you'd have to go through the extra step. I am still too gun shy to go from a working version (8.0.2) to a broken one then back again.

  • My ipod camera screen wont open

    when i click on camera it opens but stays on that page with the camera closed. what should i do???????

    The reset I specified will not delete anything. If it still does not work after:
    - reseting
    - Restore from backup via iTunes
    - Restoring to factory defaults
    Then either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your APple Store. Some other users have reported that the shutter on the camera stuck and Apple had to replace the iPod.
