Display shows a spinning disc with a magnifying glass and the volume bar?

My ipod display shows a spinning disc with a magnifying glass,
the volume bar is underneath...and none of the buttons work.
Is this it? Do I need to buy a new one? I wouldn't be surprised, it's almost 3 years old and I've never had a problem with it... but still! Any ideas what I'm looking at? thank you!

Gotta love the internet. Here's what I found about this display message.

Symptom: The iPod displays the image of a spinning disk and magnifying glass.
Cure 1: Congratulations! You've managed to initiate the iPod's built-in disk scanning test. This is normally done on the first three generations of iPods by resetting the iPod and then pressing Previous, Next, Menu, and the Select button. This icon isn't available on the mini and fourth-generation iPods.
If you've initiated the scanning test and don't wish for it to complete, reset the iPod. If you'd like to complete the scan, plug the iPod into a power source as the test drains the battery quickly and takes between 15 and 20 minutes to complete.
Hopefully all is well.

  • Just bought a new HP Lap Top with simple pass 2011 and the scan bar does not seem to be working

    For some reason the scan for the SimplePass 2011 already seems not to be working JUST bought it today??

    if you want my honest opinion send it back to where you got it and get it replaced.
    Try this hard reset
    pressing volume down + camera key + menu key and pressing power button)
    After that return it if no joy
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Troubling connection with iTunes (I have to jiggle the cable), and my volume bar drops out very often.

    Whenever I am syncing my iPhone 4 (with iOS 6.1.3) via cable with iTunes, I have to jiggle the cable to get it to connect with iTunes. Also, whenever I'm listening to any kind of sound, sometimes the sound just drops out and the volume bar disappears.
    I asked an Apple tech in the store, and he told me to restore the phone and set up as new phone. I have done this with no success. Any suggestions

  • What does a little spinning disc with different colors mean

    A little spinning disc with different colors will come up & the computer freezes up. To get rid of it I've had to restart computer at times. What does that mean?

    Hi ..
    It means your Mac is trying to process data.
    Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
    Which version do you see?
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Can anyone help me display the calendar list using an iphone4 wit iso 7.1.1?  I have already tried tapping the magnifying glass and that doesn't work.

    Can anyone help me display the calendar list using an iphone4 with iso 7.1.1?  I have already tried tapping the magnifying glass and that doesn't work.

    That icon allows for the calendar month to display with the appts for that month below.  I want to see only the list of appointments without the month displaying.  I use to be able to get that display but since the last update tapping the magnifiying glass doesn't work.

  • A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

    When starting up, Apple logo is present with loading bar underneath. No spinning wheel. After aprox 1 min the loading bar stops half way and shuts down completely. Any advice appreciated.

    Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") and which version of OS X are you running?
    You may want to try resetting your SMC -> Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock.  About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor.  But the computer locks up.

    Do you have Parallels installed by any chance?  There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this.  You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels.  An update corrects the problem:

  • I've had my MacBook Air for not even a year and about 2 months ago i tried opening my Iphoto, but it continually sits with a blank screen and the loading wheel just spins. Someone help :(

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    I'd still prefer to keep separate user accounts. I never had any issues like this before. The only time I started having a problem was when I was just trying to force empty the trash a few months ago. I came on here looking for a solution and someone posted a way to empty the trash using the terminal. Before then, I hadn't used the terminal for anything--it was just another app in my utilities folder.  (None of this has anything to do with having separate user accounts. Plenty of people with kids make second and third user accounts on their laptops so that multiple people can use one laptop, having more than one user on a laptop is not very difficult.) But thank you, I'll try that out and see if it works!

    This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T.  This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.
    Android has a limiting feature, why can't the "smart" guys at Apple learn from this??
