My iPod is sad.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
iPod battery doesn't charge.
When restoring the iPod, it's useful to put into disk mode first.

I have a PRS 350 ereader - it want charge & appears frozen

I have a PRS 350 ereader - it has only been charged 4 times, it had low battery the other night so I charged it, but it is frozen, want turn on want turn off has "low battery" icon on screen and an exclamation mark over it... there are no bars on the battery level despite overnight charging, and when I plug it in there is no charging symbol.
I have pressed reset which does nothing - I have disconnected the battery inside and put back, but this has not helped.
do you know what is wrong with it.

Hi 2Dalmatian,
Please try to download and install the latest firmware version. You can find them in this page. Thanks!

Full Charge Icon Frozen 30GB 5th Gen

My Ipod ran out of battery today so I charged it for a couple hours & the little plug icon indicating that it is fully charged showed up. So, I unplugged it and started to play my Ipod. I noticed the plug in the upper corner never went away, nor did it show the battery life. Then a little later I went into a playlist to play a song & the Ipod froze. So, I reset it and it started working again, but the "plug/fully charged" icon was still up in the corner, even after I had been playing it for an hour or so.
Then when I turn my Ipod off, the "plug/fully charged" icon appears and stays on the screen until I turn it on again.
What is going on? And now I just tried to plug it into my computer and it wont recognize my Ipod either will Itunes.. AHHH!!! What a nightmare..! This is the 3rd Ipod I have had.. Do these things ever work for very long.. ?

In all honesty, your best bet is to scour the Apple web site and find an older version of iTunes, download it, do a full erase/uninstall of your current version (even get rid of the preferences file), and install the newly-downloaded version of iTunes. The only drawback is that you can't even use your old iTunes Library file, so you have re-establish EVERYTHING.
But at least then you'll be using an older, better version of iTunes.

Dead IPod? Already?

I haven't had my iPod Mini all that long, and I hardly use it but Christmas morning I was taking a flight, so of course i wanted to bring along my iPod Mini.
I pressed the "Play" button and the Apple logo appeared, then it disappeared, and come back. It did this for about a minute (the entire on-off-on cycle takes about 20 seconds) and I tried to reset it. No luck. Well, it repeated this process for the entire flight until the battery went dead.
I got to my destination and tried charging the ipod, hoping that would fix it. Nope, it just shows the "charging" icon frozen, until I remove the USB cable. I can hear the harddrive inside the ipod (or something) making a not-so-nice sound.
Any suggestions? HOw can I get this repeared. I payed a couple hundred bucks for this unit, and only listened to 10-15 hours of music, tops.

my iPod mini did not come with a AC charger. I was told that the 2nd generation of iPod Mini did not include the AC charger beucause they cut the price of the unit.
I tried charging it for a couple hours using the USB cable and it seems the battery does actualy charge, but I still can't use the iPod. I think Apple needs to take a look at it, but I don't know how to contact them for this support.

Creative Zen Micro - Freezes/Clicks - Hard Drive Malfuncti

I know that many of you are having similar problems with your Zen Micros...here's the deal with mine (it is a 6gb, probably doesn't matter).
I bought it a year ago, used it for two months, then it sat in its box in a drawer for probably four months. When I went to use it again, battery was completely de-charged (or so I assumed, because it was not turning on). So I plugged it in, it began to charge, but would not turn on to play and was not recognized by the computer, even after several hours of charging. Additionally, when I held it up to my ear, I could hear a repeated clicking noise, like something was stuck inside. I took it back to Circuit City... obviously, it was too late to return it. They had a technician look at it for an hour, but he said it looked like it was fried.
I continued charging the Zen for probably 2 days straight after that, and finally, it turned on and played like normal. I thought the problem had been that the battery was just far too de-charged and it just needed that extra 24-hours of being plugged in. So it continued working for a few months.
Then I put it away for a month. Again, it sat in its box. I took it out a few days ago...same old problem.
- when I plug it into the computer, sometimes it turns on and charges with the battery symbol in the upper corner, and sometimes it just goes to the Creative main screen (as if it's going to turn on and play) but just freezes.
- when it is not correctly charging (just frozen on the main screen), it always continues with the clicking noise.
I read responses on this forum that said to try banging it against the table. I did this and the clicking noise did stop, but it still stays frozen on the main screen.
I am a struggling, broke college student who foolishly spent $200 on this mp3 player...and in the past year, I have only been able to use it for about 5 months. So many people have the same problem with the Zen Micro that it makes me curious as to why Creative seems to not be doing anything to help. They say to send it in and get a new hard dri've - but that will cost $200...and at this point, I would only have to spend about half of that to buy a new Zen Micro altogether! Most of my family and friends use IPods and I have never witnessed such problems.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Yea, I've read the FAQ and troubleshooting. I can get into rescue mode but when I select any option it then freezes along with more clicking. I've spent the last two hours reading about this, I'm quite certain it's hard dri've failure/sticking. My last mp3 player got stolen and I had to wait a week to receive my zen micro in the mail. Now I have to wait another few weeks to have it fixed. I need it at work, so my life sucks without my mp3 player. This is very not cool. Thanks for your reply, btw. Unfortanetly, I don't think there is anything I can do.

My ipad 2 wont start. all i see is the apple and then disappears then reappears but wont load.

Was listening to pandora and went to skip a song and it shut off. now all i get is the apple logo which fades in and out. I have tried a soft reboot and nothing and itunes wont read it.

My ipod touch is frozen blank w/ just the time and full batt. charge icon on top. No response to anything. Would prefer not to restore as i lost most of my music files on my old comp and do not have them on my new itunes. Please help!

Help please! My ipod touch has been acting a little funny lately (freezing often, running out of battery even though it's off, skipping or stopping tracks...). Now it's just plain frozen- it will not respond to holding the middle button down for long periods of time or the off button. it is just blank except for up top still has the same text as usual "ipod" with the time in the center and a full battery charge icon. I have tried everything but restoring as I will lose 85% of my music b/c my old files were lost when my old computer died and now are only on the ipod. Any suggestions? Thanks!

have you tried holding down the home + sleep button together? this could possibly work.

My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

Hello Kierasully,
I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

My ipod touch is frozen on a screen with the ipod logo and the usb charger cable...i cannot get rid of it...i let the battery die...i held the sleep button and the power buttons..anyone have any ideas?

my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???

Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.

Ipod is Frozen: Does Not Want to Charge and Be Recognized By The PC

Yesterday, while I was charging I noticed that the charging sign appeared and the meter was not moving. The charging sign is black not the colored one that we normally see in the 5th gen. Sometimes the apple logo appears and that's it. It's basically a frozen apple and the pc does not recognize it. I can not reset it either. Anything I should do before i smash this? Thanks.

Try a different USB port, if that doesn't work reinstall itunes.
