HT1320 My ipod classic displays the apple logo then transitions to an "x" inside a circle, with the support website underneath. What's that?

I am trying to get into the ipod to save the files, if, in fact, there are any files left. I have followed the steps in the "support steps" all the way through the "Services" inputs. But I still can not get the unit to reset to the point where I can retrieve my files. Whenever it is that it does show in iTunes (and it doesn't always), there is a message that says that the unit should be restored. Restoring will delete all files. So it suggests that I backup the files on the unit. If I can't see the files, for the previously stated reasons, how can I possibly "back up" any files?
As you can see, I need HELP!!!!!!!

Hello dhhatfield,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have a red x on the iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    I think I have the previous iPod Classic with a black glossy front and I am pretty sure it is glass at the front. My problem is that the
    iPod does not turn on. Every time I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a

  • Hi! I purchased my ATV in Miami, but I live in Argentina. I have not been able to get the device running on any TVs. When I plug it in, it briefly shows the apple logo, then a sign saying no signal, check power cords and power source or sthg like that.

    Hi!
    I purchased my AppleTV in Miami, but I live in Argentina.
    I have not been able to get my device running correctly, and altough I've read tons of things online, I still have no solution to my problem.
    Here's the thing: after everything's plugged in and ON, I see the Apple logo briefly, then the TV displays a sign that says no signal, check pwoer cords and power source.
    But everything is plugged in and connected properly, otherwise, I doubt I'd be seeing the apple logo, right?
    I tried changing the HDMI cable, reversing the ends, switching ports, hard resetting the ATV, and trying a different TV. No luck.
    I read there is some issue with Samsung TVs, and most LED and LCD tvs down here are Samsung.
    On the other hand, I cannot return it or exchange it, since I bought it in the states.
    Oh! One of the tvs I tried it on displays a little sign that reads "connected at 1280x720 @60hz", and only THEN, goes to the "no signal" sign.
    Please!!! I am being driven up the walls here.... HELP!!

    Try this:
    Change the Apple TV resolution:
    Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
    The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
    Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

    I have an older model iPhone 3GS. This morning I awoke to a screen that shows the iTunes logo with a USB cord underneath. The AT&T IT person says that I need to do a reset through the iTunes website but I cant find where I need to be. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
    When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.

    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port
    - Try another cable try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

    Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo.  Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times.  Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
    Any tips are very much appreciated.

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)  Or go into an Apple Store.

    Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start.  Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!

    I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

  • My ipod turns on shows the apple logo, then turn into a white screen until it dies.

    I was updating my ipod and it was almost complete, it restarted and the loading bar under the logo stopped. Then the ipod restarted again and now when it turns on it shows the apple logo, then turns into a white screen until it dies. After I charge it again it does the same thing automatically. Ive tried to restart and restore it but it wont work. What do I do? I've tried all the troubleshooting and nothing is helping.  The screen is also cracked, this wasnt the cause because it worked fine for 3 months after it was cracked.

    See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

    If not successful that indicates a hardware problem. It could be that the damage started with the drop that also caused the cracked screen and the damage progress to the problem you have now. An example would a cracked that has finally progressed to it causing the problem.

  • My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

    My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.  This is already the 2nd time.  Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem.  It happened less then 30 days and same problem again.  Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again?  thanks

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

    Hello s0ha1b
    If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
