30gb iPod - Frozen Screen displaying Apple Logo, can't reset

Yesterday I downloaded the latest updater for the above iPod. Now the screen of the iPod is frozen on the Apple logo and repeated resets haven't cleared it.
Added to that is the fact that the newly installed Updater doesn't recognise that the iPod is plugged in/mounted, so I can't even restore itto factory settings and start over.
Furthermore, itunes doesn't recognise the ipod anymore, although Windows does. I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes but this hasn't cleared it. I've deleted and reintalled both the original 2005 - 10 - 12 Updater and the newer 2006 - 03 - 23 version and still the ipod isn't recognised and still the apple logo remains and is unresetable (if that's a word!).
So, one simple download and I'm screwed. Any advice would be welcome. Also, I'm now seeing a 'generic volume F:' in a sub-directory of the iPod USB device, in device manager and when I safely remove the pod.
Thanks in advance.

You said the iPod is "stuck in infinite reboot loop on apple logo screen." Just let that continue until it stops to drain the battery.

  • Why is my iPod frozen on the Apple logo screen

    We've tried re-setting it & it's still frozen on the apple logo screen.

    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.

  • Why is my ipod frozen on the apple logo? Will I need to do a restore?

    All I did was turn it off, it had full battery wasnt frozen or anything. I now, when pressing the home and on/off button at the top get the apple logo for about 5 seconds then it goes blank, and I have repeated this many times, yet no luck on getting it to work, just black screen or apple logo : (
    itunes tells me I need to do a restore, if I do a restore, will all my photos and apps be deleted? I'm not too worried about the songs as I have them on my computer here, available.
    Also, how I do back my stuff up. I currently have no control to do anything on the iPod Touch. I have the latest software installed on my iPod.
    Thanks : )

    If your device is recognized in iTunes again, backup manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing backup.
    Your backup folder is located here, if you did back up your computer, just copy the backup folder to the same place again and use it to restore your ipod.

  • IPod frozen, won't unlock so can't reset it. What to do?

    My old original (5G) iPod was playing a song with the lock on, when there was an ominous loud click and the music stopped. The display shows Now Playing but nothing happens and unlocking with the Hold button does not in fact unlock it (the lock icon is still displayed).
    When plugged into the Mac, iTunes does not see the iPod, and there is no charging indication on the battery icon.
    So I can't reset the iPod. I could let the battery run flat and hope that does the trick, or I guess I could remove the battery. Any suggestions on my best course of action?
    TIA

    Seems I was not holding down the reset buttons long enough. It has now reset and seems to be working OK

  • IPod will only display apple logo!

    Ok, I have a 30gb Color iPod, and I went to restore it, it told me to plug it into the wall, and I did, and waited and waited, and nothing happened, now, it just shows the apple reset screen. I've tried rebooting it, that does nothing, letting the battery drain and recharge, nothing... and my computer can't even recognize it... Argh! Any ideas?

    And to add to your question, yes, you should restore it. If that doesn't cure the issue, then it needs service.

  • I was updating my ipod and had to stop it so held down the power and home buttons. Now my ipod is frozen with the apple logo showing. The computer will not recognise it so it will not charge or restore. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    I was updateing the software on my ipod through the wireless straight to the ipod and had to stop so held down both the power and the home buttons. Now the screen is frozen with the apple logo and the normal 'unfreeze' technique won't work. The computer does not recognise the ipod so will not charge or restore it. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

  • My IPad Air is frozen with a white screen and Apple Logo on it.

    My Ipad Air is frozen with the white screen and apple logo.  I've tried resetting it several times and that doesn't help.  I tried connecting to ITunes, but it isn't recognizing the device. 
    The battery is fully charged, at least for now, so I am not sure what else to try.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.
