Flashing apple icon on my nano...help please!!!

I was updating my nano, disconnected safely but now all it is doing, is flashing a grey apple icon on a black background. I did the 5 R's and nothing. I have had my Ipod for over a year and have never had this happen. Any ideas?
Windows XP

Let it run down for at least 24 hours. Connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and charge it for at least 30 minutes. Connect it to your computer and Restore it in iTunes. You may have to put it in disk mode for iTunes to see it.
Incidentally, you need to post in the iPod Nano forum, not the HiFi.

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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano, his is connecting and showing up in the software but icannot find out how to transfer the albums into his nano, can someone help please. Also they are my albums not music from itunes thanks

I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano
That is illegal music sharing, so you won't get any help on Apple's official forums.
Also they are my albums not music from itunes
Irrelevant. Under copyright law, you do have the right to give a copy of these albums to anyone.

Flashing Apple icon with horizontal line flashing at random on screen

I know this can't be good
Here's the background info:
Our G5 completely crashed about 4 months ago. Lost my iTunes library but my iPod mini was full and working, so I used it until the battery died. Now iTunes is reinstalled but I was scared to plug iPod in and wipe out everything on it by mistake. Today after researching on this site I dowloaded Senuti to help with getting the contents of iPod back into iTunes library. Two hours ago I plugged in my iPod into USB on the G5, and at first I got the dead battery icon, but after a couple of minutes I got a flahing Apple icon, with a horizontal line on the screen flashing at random places. iTunes does not 'see' my iPod. Needless to say, Apple support website does not address the issue... Any help is appreciated! Thanks from sunny Florida

Try to connect your iPod with a window PC
Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Iphone screen black with flashing apple icon

IMac g5 stalls on grey apple logo spinning gear screen, help please.

I hope someone can help, please.
I have an iMac G5 (without isight) and it doesn't want to startup. It stalls on the grey apple/spinning gear screen, with the spinning gear perpetually rotating. I've kept it on for at least twenty minutes and still nothing. Because, I've seen this screen stall when updating OSX before.
I've flashed the pram and the power management. I've also gone into single-user mode and done everything the apple support page has said: to no avail. I've tried to start in safe mode but I cannot.
I'm running max os x 10.4.10.
One other thing worth noting, the light on the bottom right of the iMac case goes on when powering up but fades out and goes dark by the time I reach the grey apple screen?!?!?! I think I remeber this light always staying on when the computer was on.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

It could be that your power supply is failing, see if you qualify for Apple's power supply or video and power issues.
Please post back.

Flashing apple and nothing else! help

We bought a mini for my daughter about 8 months ago. She got it for x-mas and is loving it. This morningshe went to turn it on and it wouldn't. It sits at night in her JVC sound thing (ring shaped) and charges. She uses it as a stereo in her room. The apple logo just flashes slowly. I can hear the drive inside trying to work and then it shuts down. IT just does that over and over. I tried to re-set it, restore it and everything else, but no luck. It does not recognize it on my imac, power mac or PC as even being attached. I have tried the fi-wi connection and the usb with no results. It was not dropped and was working fine when she went to bed. Please help her! Thanks so much!!

Check these out.
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
I have to say that the hard drive noise you can hear may mean it needs service.

IPod mini screen flashes apple on and off..help!

Yesterday, I tried to turn on my iPod mini and the low battery symbol came up, so I plugged it in. When I did, it wouldn't turn on, but instead, the apple keeps flashing on and off every 10 seconds and it won't quit until about 5 mintues has passed. There is also a clicking noise inside, like it is turning itself off and on and trying to restart. Since yesterday, every time I try to plug it in to recharge it, it does this same thing over and over again.
Someone please help . . the answer isn't on the FAQ either!!
Thanks alot! Leighla

OK. I've gotten my ipod working again. Here is what I did.
I reset my ipod (which didn't do anything)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
And then I put it into hard drive mode (which worked)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
From there my computer recognized it and I restored the factory settings thru ipod updater. My ipod software was current, so I didn't have the option of updating. It works now and I've reloaded all my music back on. I hope it stays in good health.
Good luck with your issue.

HT4528 my iphone is not working, I have tried to reset and access to activate it and it will not let me, saying I have incorrect apple id and password! Help please!

Can someone help me with my apple id reset to get my iphone to work please?

Enter your correct Apple ID and password.
If you bought the phone used you have encountered activation lock installed by the prior owner. You will not be able to get past the activation lock without the proper credentials. Contact the prior owner. If the prior owner does not know the details the device is probably stolen and you have lost your money.
If you bought the phone new from Apple take it back to the store with your receipt so that Apple can help you.
