I dropped my iPOD and I just have a gray screen with the apple picture.  How can I fix this

Please help.  I am unable to access my iPOD Classic.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Have you tried resetting the iPod by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?

  • After updating to Yosemite some of my photos will open and then Ill get a black screen with an apostrophe.  How can I fix this?

    After updating my OS to Yosemite 10.10.1 some of my photos will not display.  All of the previews will be there but when I click to open them they open up larger for a second and then the screen goes black and I get a grey apostrophe sign.  I updated iPhoto to 9.6 (910.29) and also repaired my permissions.  The problem still exists.  Can anyone help me?  I also have issues with iTunes but that's another story. 

    According to the link I provided it could still have its logging service running.  Did you read the info in the link I provided?  You can check it by launching Activity Monitor and under CPU search for cleanup.
    Since the photos are in the library I don't see the need at this time to reinstall iPhoto.  Maybe later.  Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • I have disabled my security on my ipod and when ulocking it is asking me for a ulock code how can i fix this?

    does anyone have any idea of how to fix this or disable the password

    Restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

  • If I no longer have access to my original e-mail associated with my account and my passwords and e-mail accounts associated with my Apple device, how can I fix this solution? I have 2 ipads and 1 iphone and I cannot update any of my apps.

    I tried to change the e-mail associated with my apple account because my school was closing and I knew I would no longer have accss to that e-mail account, however now all 3 of my devices ( 2 ipads & 1 iphone are screwed up as far as the e-mail accounts associated with each device and the passwords. I have tried all the on-line support/suggestions and took my devices to a local Apple store and no one/nothing helps.
    Does anyone have a solution? I can purchase new apps but I cannot update any of the apps I have to any of my devices.

    Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.

  • Internal error 500 keeps coming up when I open Firefox. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but that did not solve the problem. How can I fix this error

    a message of 500 internal error comes up when I open up Firefox and I cannot do anything. How can this problem be solved? I cannot use Firefox, so I have uninstalled it because it does in work on my computer, but it does work on my desktop and other laptop. This is a new computer, so I am not understanding why this problem is occurring. When I first installed Firefox on my new laptop it worked just fine, but for about a week now it will not work.

    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT4623 I updated software but before it was completed, I unplugged the phone, now I have nothing on screen but the apple icon, how can I get use of my phone back/

    Under settings on my Iphone I needed to do a software update.  It said to turn on the wifi and plug the phone in.  I did this it was suppose to take approximately 1 hour.  The screen showed downloading and a blue line that I thought it was finished, I unplugged the phone and now I have the apple icon that flashes periodically.  I do not have access to use it as a phone or anything else.  I can't seem to get it to do anything.    Right now it is plugged into my computer and I thought I had completed the update but still nothing.

    restart the iPhone by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo, how can i fix this?

    My ipod touch wasnt working so I tried resetting it, now it is stuck on the apple logo. I tried connecting it to itunes but it is not showing up.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • A iPhone 4S (currently in possession of it) was dropped into the ocean and we can get it into DFU and recovery mode, but we can't get it to go to the lock screen or home screen the phone just gets stuck on the apple symbol, how can I fix this?

    Hey, apparently this iPhone 4S was dropped into the ocean and the light for the camera and a light where the 3G/4G bar is are both glowing. The iPhone 4S, I assume, was on iOS 5.1.1 I need help getting off info from it WITHOUT RESTORING IT. I'm not sure if Apple has any third party apps that they are allowed to suggest to us or if I'm on my own on this one, but if you guys can help I would greatly apperciate it.
    Thanks!

    Those are definitely features of liquid damage. First step after completely drying the iPhone would be battery replacement. The camera circuitry and proximity sensor circuitry are surging because you are seeing these lights.
    New battery may get this booted back up so you can recover data, or even get the iPhone working again.

  • I have an iPhone 3g that keeps crashing and getting stuck on the apple logo - how can I fix this?

    will restoring to factory settings help? Can this be rectified by sending the phone back to apple and it being repaired?

    This forum is not staffed by Apple.  It is a dialogue with other iPhone owners. 

  • Installed Firefox 8.0 and plugin container.exe makes pc hang with 99% cpu usage, how can I fix this?

    All extensions and add ons are disables other then flash player. Flash player is needed for the webpage.

    Reboot. Uninstall Firefox, then use another browser to download and install a new copy of Firefox from mozilla.org/firefox - see [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help.

  • I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this?

    I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this? i have an ipod 5 with ios 7.1.2. ive tried restarting my computer restarting my ipod and restoring it. i also tried to delete apps nothing works.

    This happened to me with the same device. I wouldn't worry about having it just say other as that is just information, if you really need to know what is using the most of your device's storage to to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage and that will tell you what apps are using in terms of your storage. Besides that, "other" is just iTunes knowing that there is information, how much there is, just not what it is. So syncing your device a few times and letting it stay plugged in should allow iTunes to recognize what information is on your iPod. Hope I could help!

  • Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.
