Apple logo remains on IPOD screen and will not go into Disk Mode or Reset

My IPOD Mini is just showing the apple logo. I tried performing the procedures in the help section of the website. The IPOD will not go into Disk Mode! Is there another way to solve the problem without having to pay for expensive repairs?

Oh my gosh!!! I'm having the same issue with my 60Gig iPod Photo. I had t leave for dinner so, I put the iPod in the cradle in case it ran out of juice. After I came back three hours later, the same screen--silver apple/black background screen is showing. Please help!!!!

  • HT1363 My ipod click wheel will not go into disk mode.  All I get is the red circle with the X in it

    The only thing my ipod will do is display the red circle with the X in it.  I can not put it in disk mode, it won't work.  It's the 160 GB classic with the click wheel.  Is there anything else I can do to make it work again?

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode, the Hard Drive is likely damaged and beyond repair. You'll probably want to have it replaced either by Apple or a third party service center.
    Here are Apple's repair prices.

  • My mini ipod will not go into disk mode. What should I do?

    When ever I try to put it into disk mode it will either not go into disk mode for a few seconds or it will not go into disk mode at all.

  • Ipod with sad face and will not stay in disk mode but hdd works

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my ipod and i've tried everything to fix it and nothing works.
    So basically after my ipod gave me the sad face I tried putting it into disk mode and that worked successfully! However after I plugged it to my computer, it would (after a few moments and windows detects something being plugged in) it resets itself and gives me the sad face again and following that a sign comes up saying Please Wait Very Low Battery.
    I know its not a low battery problem since during disk mode the battery is full.
    Other strange things is that in Diagnostics mode the HDSpecs section just shows just a bunch on meaningless characters and numbers for each of the specs listed. I thought that this may have just meant I had a broken harddrive so i got one of those ipod harddrive to IDE converters and plugged by ipod harddrive in (yes i now have opened the ipod). Strangely enough the ipod hard drive appears on my computer and works beautifully and i can read and write to the drive.
    I went though the forums and found someone with the exact same problem and was solved:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244984&#7244984
    However the person never said how they solved it except that they followed the guide posted by Mitch 751 which I also tried to no success.
    Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try?
    Cheers,
    Victor

    same problem mate ???

  • 20G iPod will not go into disk mode

    Hopefully someone can help.
    I have a 2.5 year old 20g iPod with black / white screen.
    I have the unhappy icon showing on the screen. I have tried the 5R's with no success and have been advised to go into disk mode in order to restore via iPod updater etc.
    I cannot achieve disk mode and my PC (and other will not recognise).
    It also makes a clicking noise booting up, surely the hard drive cannot be faulty after such a relativly short time.
    Any help is much appreciated..........Dave

  • IPod Touch is disabled, won't connect to iTunes and will not go into recovery mode.

    Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
    Any suggestions?

    Try DFU mode.

  • 7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play.  What is wrong with it?

    I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background.  I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it.  At one point it was in a Restore Loop.  I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers.  Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

    Hi jkjuarez2012,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

    - 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.

  • My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

    My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
