Even my iPod doesn't know what's wrong with it.

I have a 4th Gen iPod that just stopped working a few months ago. I have checked the iPod support pages, but I have the apparently unique problem of getting pretty much every error message that you can get. The Sad iPod, the Folder and exclamation mark, the low battery symbol, and sometimes the Apple apple for a few seconds before it turns off.
It doesn't seem like it's a battery issue, since it was working fine one day and then just stopped starting up the next. It might be, though, I simply don't know. I've been pretty much resigned to the probability that my iPod is broken forever, but I really miss it.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and know what is wrong? I highly doubt that several problems just started over the course of one night, but I get all the error messages. My iPod isn't covered under warranty any more, so if there is some way to get it fixed, knowing the cost for fixing whatever is wrong would be helpful as well.
Thanks.

I'm assuming you tried to restore/update it.
It sounds like either a nasty hardware issue or you could have corrupted files on your iPod.
When all else fails, get a refurb from apple.
Their cheaper and just as good.

  • I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

    I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

    Thanks Lucas,
    I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info.  My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone.  Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple.  I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

  • TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

    does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

    Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port. 
    Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Then try restoring the iPod again.

  • Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages.

    Why?
    Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages. All the entries are missing, and in their place are the words, Blog Summary Widget. Is this a problem with just my version of Firefox (like maybe I'm missing a plug-in or something?) or is this a failure on iWeb's part?

    There have been some quantum leaps in design and usefulness between FF1 and FF3. I'm not surprised that FF1 can't handle it. Download the latest FF for Mac and/or Windows here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • Anyone knows what's wrong with AppleCare?

    An "advisor" told me to ship everything back for a repair for my new iPad, so I did.  Then I got back only the iPad, not to mention they shipped it to the wrong address.  Fortunately it was a false address which doesn'e exist, and FedEx allowed me to do a pickup (after 8 days of not contacting me or Apple, of course).  They were great about shipping me back some new accessories but not the packaging, but they missed a part.  This missing part is taking FOREVER to ship out.  I have called several times in a row just for this little missing dock, which I just need to charge my iPad.  Every time a SENIOR ADVISOR promises me that the missing accessory would be shipped out the next day, but apparently not.  One time, it even took me forever to explain to an advisor what an iPad charger is consisted of (She still didn't understand why an adaptor can be broken into two parts, not counting the USB cord).  I mean, is this some kind of joke?  I even know better than she does.  The iPad was supposed to be a Father's Day gift, and I can't believe how long it's taking me to get this thing done.  Just to clarify, this isn't my first time using AppleCare, and they were NOT like this before.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH APPLE???  And, most importantly, I want my stuff back now and try to apologize to my father about what happened.

    I believe the OP shipped "everything" back, including the 10W wall charger, which was not returned.  I can understand her frustration, but of course, since we are all just users here, I'm not sure what she is hoping we can offer, other than a sympathetic ear.........

  • My itunes library is constantly resetting itself. I really don't know what is wrong with it I have ran virus checks and nothing is on my laptop. Anybody got any idea?

    Hi my itunes library is constantly disappearing, I really don't know what is wrong. It keep happening everytime I turn my laptop off, I thought I had solved the problem the other week however it has started back up again. I have a Sony Vaio laptop and have read on the discussions that this can occur but all the solutions I have read haven't seemed to solve it. Anybody else got an idea? I would be really grateful for the help!

    See this post. Seems that AVG is the most likely cause. They are promising a patch tomorrow.

  • Anyone know what's wrong with my audio jack?

    So I've had this computer for about 2 years now, got this when I graduated High School now I'm going into my junior year of college. Out of the time that I've had it I had to replace the hard drive once, and nowadays the headphone jack is giving me some sort of strange feedback. I read other posts regarding systems preferences regarding headphones and it works just fine. The weird thing is that whenever I plug my headphones in to the audio jack, I receive a lot of unnecessary feedback. I'll hear buzzing, static, and my sound is all the way at max volume but it sounds as if it's at the minimum. Whenever I jiggle my headphones the static gets louder, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem or give an idea to what's wrong.
    Props to anyone if they know whatever's going on with my stuff. Thanks

  • I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone 4

    i have an iPhone 4 with the iOS 6 installed on it, and whenever i slide to unlock the screen a connect to iTunes popped up...
    so i connected to iTunes it required a software update, so i updated my phone to the latest software, and after everything was done, every time i unlock the screen i select the language then the country, then a "connect to iTunes" pops up again... so i connect my iPhone to iTunes and it tells me that there is something wrong with the phone !
    has anybody encountered this problem... please help and thank you

    i really can't remember where i got it from, it's been with me ever since the iPhone 4 has been first released and gave it to a friend a year ago or so... it was factory unlocked, so i got to use it directly after i opened it... i never jailbroke it and i don't think my friend did..
    what happened exactly with my friend was that :
    she had the phone in a cover of course on her night table facing upwards, with a water cup next to it, the cup seemed to be broken from its bottom and started dripping water.. so the phone sucked in some of the water, but the cover helped protecting it a bit.. now thts when she called me and of course i told her not to touch any button just let it turn off so she could dry it later and put it in a bag of rice... now the next day she turned it on, it did turn on, but there you go, we started facing the problem ! i don't know if its because of the water, though it is totally dried !
    i just went to a phone dealer today, telling me that it won't work and it can't be fixed because its on apples blacklist, I'm not sure what that means !
    ill be really more than glad if i can get any answers.. thank you in advance
    oh and here is what iTunes exactly says :
    There is a problem with your iPhone.
