I Think My I-pod Has Gone Insane...Please Help Me.

I Have An Older I-pod...It's Probably 2nd Or 3rd Generation(I'm Really Not Sure)...It Has A Click Wheel And The Screen Is NOT In Color And It Doesn't Support Video If That Helps...
Anyways...I've Been Fairly Good To It Since I've Had It And As Of Last Week The "Sad I-pod" With The Support Website Icon Comes On When I Try To Turn It On Followed By The Apple Icon...If I Plug It In To My Charger It Will Repeat Those 2 Until I Unplug It... "Sad I-pod, Apple, Sad I-pod, Apple..."
When I Plug It Into My Computer The Sad I-pod Apple Thing Goes For A Minute Or Two And Then The Low Battery With The Power Bolt Comes On And Even If I Leave It On For Hours I-Tunes Won't Recognize It.
Also...It Won't Allow Me To Force It Into Disk Mode.
Can ANYONE PLEASE Help Me?!?!

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.
The Sad iPod/folder and ! icon.

  • My display has gone crazy, please help!!!

    Well folks, you can count me in as another victim of the "checkered/blocked" display problem. It suddenly came up just a few hours ago and I,m going crazy. Have been reading some of the posts and Apple should definitely look further on this issue since it's affecting a considerable number of users. I,m not clear if my system is covered under Apple's Extension Program. My S/N begins with W8526xxxxxxx, please help us Apple.

    Hi Chasnufa!
    Basically your screen looks like an old-fashioned TV test card with blocks all over it? That happened to my imac G5 when I had only had it a short while back in 2005. I had just switched to mac and was devastated. When I rang Apple they said it was the logic board which is the most expensive part to replace apparently. I had it fixed under Applecare. I would find out if you can get it fixed under the Apple program as now it is a known fault with these models.Here is a link to the page Apple have set up about the extended repair program, it does look like your model could be one of the affected ones:

    I hope this helps!

  • APPLICATIONS FOLDER HAS GONE BESERK - PLEASE HELP!

    For the past few weeks, most of my apps no longer are visible in the applications folder. 
    The apps work; finder shows them as residing in the apps folder. 
    If I go to the applications folder, though, all I see are the apps with names that begin with "A", plus the CALCULATOR app.
    Everything else [Quicktime, MS Office, etc.] does not appear.
    However, all the applications are working, and finder shows them as being located in the apps folder.
    Today, I found I cannot ADD new apps to my apps folder. 
    It will not accept new apps. 
    I am trying to install dashline 2.0 [a new app for me].
    When I drag the app to the apps folder, the time bar appears and runs through the move.
    However, the app never appears in the apps folder.
    When I search in finder, dashline does NOT show up as being in the app folder.
    If I try again, to drag the app to the apps folder, I get a prompt telling me the app is already in the apps folder.
    I googled these problems but all the answers I find have to do with setting up new computers, transferring from one computer to another, or 'losing' apps from the computer altogether.
    Here is the info on my computer.
    MacBook Pro
    17" late 2011
    Mac OSX 10.7.5
    1.4Ghz Intel Core i7
    16GB Memory
    not networked or shared
    Please help if you can.  I am hugely confounded on this one.

  • Ccplauncher will not install on my iMac with os 10.9.3 get message Oops something has gone wrong, please try again

    Tried to install the mac version of ccplauncher i then got a message oops something has gone wrong, please try again.

    I have allow apps from anywhere already set on my packaging system. And it was working prior to the update. It went through a self updating process and now gives this error. It's almost like a networking issue, like it can't complete communicating with adobe, because a reinstall doesn't resolve the issue.

    Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD.  Cannot figure out what has happened.  Please help.

    Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do.  All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery.  When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders.  The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either.  My photo library on my IPOD is now empty. 
    Thanks again for your help.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

    Did the trick!  Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!!  I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen.  This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store.  Many thanks.
