Disk Mode? How long pressing the select and play buttons?

Please, I`ve tried everything to turn it on my ipod since i drop it. It doesn`t appear in itunes or desktop, or my computer. It was with that exclamation mark. I was trying to turn to Disk mode, but it doesn`t go!! For how long should i hold the select and play buttons? I was holding for about 5 minutes until i gave up. Does it take that long?
Thanks, Juliana

How to put your iPod into disk mode:
1) First, make sure that your iPod is mostly charged.
2) Toggle the "hold" switch on/off a few times.
3) Hold the "menu" and "select" (center) buttons down together for 7 seconds.
4) As soon as the Apple logo appears on the screen, let off the menu and center buttons, and immediately click the "select" (center) and "play/pause" buttons until the "disk mode" screen appears.
If that didn't work, your iPod might be broken.
But before you presume that, try those four steps above several more times. Sometimes you need to do this step several times before you get the hang of it.
I hope this helps!

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    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.

    My iPad 2 won't start even if I already went through pressing the home and start buttons simultaneously. I also tried charging the batteries for more than 30 minutes (done this procedure twice) but it won't still power on. What should I do next? Could it be a hardware issue then?

    The iPhone6 I purchased 9/23/2014 went dead. Went to use the phone this afternoon and nothing. Tried turning the phone off/on, nothing. Tried rebooting phone by pressing the home and power button's while the phone was connected to power, nothing.  Can't believe that the phone battery is dead or that the phone is fried after only six (6) months of usage.  Any suggestions (hopefully other than purchasing a new phone) is appreciated.

    Try the things in this Apple article (some of the which you may have already done). If none of them work go to an Apple Store if there is one in your area. Or contact Apple via the website for support help. As mentioned, as long as nothing is wrong with it that would void the warranty (liquid damage for example) then you're covered. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412

  • My ipad is on an infinite loop.  I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started.  I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

    my ipad is on an infinite loop.  I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started.  I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!
    I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
    I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

    You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    My grandsons new Apple refurbed 35g ipad keeps locking up with a black screen amd nothing else. I have reset it many times pressing the home and off buttons together but it keeps locking up. Help,please!

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

  • My ipad has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet. My WiFi signal is strong. My PC is connected ok through the same WiFi signal. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons to get the apple logo but this makes no difference

    My ipad2 has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet either through Safari or email. My WiFi signal is strong and all other devices in my house are connecting ok. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons together to get the Apple Logo but this has not changed anything, still cannot connect. "Safari cannot open the page because your ipad is not connected to the internet"

    I have done this and no difference
    I have just realised what has caused the problem.
    Yesterday I fitted an additional Homeplug with built in wireless N adapter ( I alreday have another type fitted from my main router position) The wireless system to my ipad is obviously "confused" . Having now removed the second homeplug and reset my ipad all is now ok

  • How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane

    Hi Experts,
    In BIEE 11g,
    How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane ?
    For example:
    In console,I have created one userA which is belong to BIConsumer GROUP , when I make use of the highest user 'weblogic' to create one simple report, then the userA will login the analytivs to view this report (not dashboard), it will show the print and export as below.So customers do not want to give him the privilege for printing and exporting.
    In addtion, go to catalog->tasks(left corner), it will also show the print and export button. So how to hide or not access these button?
    Note: Maybe it can use the policy for consumer role for implementing this requirement, but I do not know how to modify the policy. Are you facing the problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. Create seperate folder for Reports & Dashobard.
    2. For BI_Consumer (userA) set the catalog permission to view Dashboard Folder only and remove permission on the Report Folder (you can give traverse permission but don't give Open permision).
    3. By this user won't be able to open or run any reports in that folder and the only way he can see the reports is through Dashboard and on dashboard the export and print buttone can be removed very easily.
    Mark helpful if it helps.
    Regards,
    Kashi

  • My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

    My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

    You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
    Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.
