Can anyone help with disk mode?

I have read but not the right answer what I had with my ipod problem. My ipod won't turn on and showing disk mode. I try to connected with my comp. still did not change or turn on. Can anyone help me with this?

Try Resetting your iPod. Hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display. Have a look at this link as well: iPod won't turn on

HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes. Windows has all the most recent updates too. I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help

Help! Can't mount iPod to Mac OR PC, and neither Restore or Disk Mode work

My 5th Generation iPod is not being recognized by my Windows or iTunes whenever I try to mount it, nor is it recognized by my friend's Mac or iTunes whenever I try to mount it on his. Because I cannot get my iPod to connect to a computer, I cannot Restore it. Also, I have tried to get both computers to recognize my iPod by putting into Disk Mode, but my iPod screen only displays the "OK to Disconnect" screen (and neither computer recognizes it.)
The only idea I can think of is to Restore it without using a computer (if that is even possible.) I am open to any ideas though.
My iPod is past its warranty, so I would greatly appreciate any help, advice, or suggestions short of sending it in to Apple. Thanks in advance.

Problem solved!
I let my iPod die COMPLETELY down, and then I took it out of its protective case and plugged it into my computer, and it is syncing properly now. I don't know why fixed it (because my case may have been preventing it from plugging in completely) but everything is fine now.

Hiya! My iPod Classic Is Stuck in disk mode, and I tried the hard reset and EVERYTHING, and it still doesn't work. When I connect it to my computer (Windows) It doesn't show up in iTunes, Or on the "My Computer" area. Any Help?

When you did a hard reset on your iPod, what do you see on the screen?

It won't connect to itunes.
Please help.

Hello there pipem90,
Heres an article about that very issue. Check out this article named iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369.
There is more to the article but start here:
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you have not already done so, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod; this will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
All the very best,
Sterling

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

IPod Classic will only sync with iTunes 11.0.2.26 in disk mode - can you help?

Hello, I am running Windows 8 64 bit with iTunes 11.0.2.26. This is a new PC and this is the first time I have tried to use it with my iPod. My iPod classic does not show up in Windows or in iTunes. The only way I have been able to sync anything is in disk mode. When syncing in disk mode the iPod appears in Windows and then disappears again when it ihas finished.
I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, but this has not sorted out the problem. The iPod device troubleshooter can not see the device. I have tried several different usb slots and two different sync cables. I can not see the iPod in device manager.
My iPod model is MB565 version 2.0.1 PC.
I would like to be able to sync my device as normal and to see if there are any updates available for my iPod classic, which as iTunes currently can't see the device, is not possible.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks!

Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
Hope this will solve a lot of problems.

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

Need Help Installing Snow Leopard onto a blank HD via Target Disk Mode

Hey everyone.
Recently I had the HD on my Black Macbook crash due to a mechanical failure. I have just purchased a new Hard Drive for my Macbook. It is completely blank other than the fact that I connected it to my girlfriend's White Macbook earlier today to create 2 partitions. I have a new copy of Snow Leopard that I want to install on it and was hoping someone could guide me through the process.
What I have with me as of now is:
One Black Macbook (UK bought) w/ Partitioned Blank HD and a non-functional Superdrive
One White Macbook (US bought) running Tiger w/ working Superdrive that mounts the SL DVD
FireWire Cable
New Snow Leopard DVD
My first attempt at this failed. I connected the two Macs with the FW cable and started up the Black Macbook in Target Disk mode. Both my HD partitions showed up on the White Macbook. I inserted the SL DVD into the White Macbook and when it mounted I clicked on install. Of course, now it thinks that I want to install SL on the White Macbook whereas I want to install it on the Black Macbook.
I'm a college student without a working computer and with my finals coming up, I'm in deep trouble. I want to mention that my Black Macbook's Superdrive spits out _everything except for Movie DVDs and My Leopard Startup Disk._ It spins the SL DVD for a few seconds and spits it out as well. I'm wondering whether this might be an issue with the DVD region code on the SL DVD though I don't think that's it. My region code is currently set to Region 1 (US) where I purchased the Snow Leopard DVD off Amazon. I initially thought there was a problem with the DVD and CD lens in the drive and I bought a DVD/CD Lens Cleaner CD but I can't run it because the Superdrive spits that out too. I'm out of warranty on the Black Macbook so fixing the Superdrive is pretty much out of the question. I was under the impression that I would be able to install SL via Target Disk Mode without any hassles but boy was I ever so wrong.
Is there any way that I can do this? I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Please do if you find the time to.

By other computer, do you mean the White Macbook? So I should basically put the SL DVD in the White Macbook, restart with the C key held down? Is that right?
Please pardon me if I'm being stupid.

MY IPOD IS IN DISK MODE!!! HELP, I'm going nuts

It's been working great. Loading up my itunes stuff. Going walking, It played great. Well, I went to use it this morning. I had left my headphones plugged in. (Maybe you are not supposed to do this?)
It says "Disk Mode, DO NOT DISCONNECT. (I just connected it to my computer hoping it would stop saying 'SAFE TO DISCONNECT".
That's what it had been doing since this morning. It had a big check in the middle of the screen and it said 'safe to disconnect".
Since it was NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING, I was confused. And I don't know which side the hold thing is supposed to be on. Should I see the orange thing, or not. What side should it be on when it's locked?
How do I get this thing to get out of Disk Mode?
Pulleeeeze help!!!
Melody

Thank you so much.
But just in case I have to buy another one. (This one is about 4 years old). I don't need anything fancy, no video or anything. And I don't want to shuffle anything. I just want to go walking, select the tunes I want and do my thing. So if I have to buy a new one, do they still sell the IPOD nano. Or do I have to buy some fancy updated version. I know there are 1st generation, 2nd generation, ones with videos, etc. Do you have any idea how much a simple Ipod Nano would cost??
Four years ago I paid $149 for mine. One would think (with all the newer versions), that maybe my little Ipod Nano would now being sold for half the price? Do I have a shot here?
Thank you so much for all your help!!!

Help my ipod is in "disk mode"

i dont know what this means and i dont know how to get out of it please help, thanks.

Reset your iPod.
See this.
How to reset the iPod.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
Disk mode is just a way of enabling the iPod to be used as a hard disk.
There are certain button combinations that enable you to force the iPod into disk mode (useful if you are having problems with the iPod not being recognized by iTunes).
It seems that's what happened in your case.

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.
