There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon.
The Sad iPod/folder and ! icon.
Btw, your iPod is not an iPod classic.

    used wrong charger with ipod classic, now it wont turn on, displays the low battery icon even though its connected to the wright adapter.
    Can anyone help ?
    please?

    WHow long have you left it to charge?  Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My classic 80GB ipod wont turn on, wont restore, it says it may be corrupted and all it does is constantly beep when I attach to my laptop! Windows Vista, 32bit, new version of itunes, etc.. WHAT the ****!? What do I do!?

    My 80gb ipod classic is dead! It wont power on, it wont restore, it constantly beeps and shows the apple logo then my laptop says ipod in recovery mode, may have to restore. I read all the other problems and they are similar to mine but have not found anyone saying the screen does not power on except to show logo and do not disconnect. The annoying beeping sound stops after a while, then absolutely nothing! Is the battery removable, what do I do?

    I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again. 
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I POD CLASSIC 160 GB

    My i pod classic 160 GB will turn itself off mid-song ???? Help

    Are you locking your iPod when playing (moving the slider on the top of the device to the right). If you do not lock the iPod, it is possible that you are simply pressing buttons accidentally (if you are carrying the iPod in your pocket, for instance) causing the iPod to stop playing.
    If you are definitely locking the iPod, you should first try resetting the iPod (the equivalent of rebooting). Hold down the Menu and center buttons together for about 10 seconds. You will see the Apple logo appear for a little while, then the main menu will appear. This will not wipe your iPod.
    If the iPod is still exhibiting this behavior, then restoring would be your next step.

    The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.

    Hi there.  My iPod classic is less than a year old and now it just wont turn on.  Any idea why?

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I pod just heats up and wont turn on when plugged in

    My I pod 5th  gen (32gb) has died and I have plugged it in but it just heats up and wont turn on. I have recently updated it to IOS 8.1. I have tried to put it in duf but nothing will work 2012 version

    Hey AgentBlack K, Not a good sign. Could be a failed battery, if your unlucky. Could be a failed, shorting out cable. Either way, unplug your iPod. give it a couple of hours to cool down, then try a different cable, if still no joy a different power source. If it still gets hot but will not turn on, function, most likely the battery. Schedule an appointment with your Apple store and have your iPod evaluated, bring the cable also and have it checked out too. A new battery is $79.00 plus, tax, shipping etc. If the cable is within 1 year of purchase and an Apple product it can be replaced for free, if damage is not from abuse.  Good luck. Cheers.

  • I will never order one because i got an i pod 3 g i have not had it long and it wont turn off or on or charge i cant believe that you would try  to sell me something when the one i have now is good for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ho

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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.
