IPod 2007 160GB Classic Stuck on Apple Logo Reboot?

Hello Hopefully somebody can help?
I have a iPod 2007 160GB Classic which is stuck on the apple logo reboot? I have tried everything posted on the similar topic below without success although I'm a windows user and not mac:-
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2609298?tstart=0
My Hard Drive Smart Data is:-
Retracts: 336
Reallocs: 6
Pending Sectors: 4
PowerOn Hours: 454
Start/Stops: 2285
Temp: Current 27c
Temp: Min 0c
Temp: Max 53c
I cannot restore, format even using HPUSBDISK?
Is it saveable or do I need a new hard drive?

I received mine today. Mine was Macintosh formatted already. No problems when I first connected. It took quite some time to sync my music library, but it completed successfully, with 13GB free. I 'ejected' the iPod, and I've spent a few minutes playing songs, trying the menus. No problems so far. Others have commented that the software is slow. I've not noticed any differences between 5G and the Classic. When you play a song it spends a second or so accessing the hard drive before playing the song, as my previous iPods have (most of my music is Lossless). There are images/icons on the right side of the screen in the settings section that appear after a slight delay when moving down through the menu - this perhaps gives the impression of feeling sluggish but it actually doesn't affect performance - you can scroll through the menu as quickly as you like, the sluggishness of the icons appearing is only cosmetic.
From my point of view, I'm pleased to say I've had none of the problems of it getting stuck on the Apple logo. When I first connected to the computer the Apple logo appeared for a moment, but then it changed to the 'syncing' circle animation and I've not seen the Apple logo screen since.
I think if yours keeps having the problem then I'd get a replacement. I'll certainly report back if I start getting problems - but so far it seems that everything is fine.
One last comment - I hadn't realised quite how different the software is. All of the menus, and the information displayed, the moving album art on the right side of the screen, the fact it shows how many songs are in each playlist etc is all very different to the 5G. The software on the classic is a very significant upgrade from the 5G - at first glance anyway.

  • IPod Nano 4th Gen - Stuck on Apple logo

    After not using my iPod Nano (4th Gen. 4GB) for about 4 months, I try to turn it on to find it isn't responding. I figured it was completely dead, so I plug it into my computer to see an Apple logo appear on the screen, and I leave it to charge for about an hour. After charging, my computer still didn't register any usb device. When I disconnected it was stuck on the apple logo. After waiting for a while it was still on Apple logo.
    So, I did some reading and put it into disk mode. Once in disk mode it was recognized by my computer, and I promptly restored it. After it was restored I reset the iPod. But, again it was still stuck at the Apple logo screen.
    I have repeated this process three times, and each time I reset it after restoring in disk mode, the iPod is stuck at the Apple logo screen.
    Any ideas as to why it is doing this?

    his is not operating system-specific, but I want to get it on the record somewhere since I could not find the solution anywhere else.
    Last week, my third-generation 30GB iPod refused to go beyond the Apple logo on startup. It would power up, flash as if trying to go to the menu, but instead it would just show the Apple again. I tried all the usual recovery methods: resetting (hundreds of times and a couple of different ways), disk scans from the diagnostic menu, restoring with the latest iPod software and with an older version, fsck, using Disk Utility to repair and erase, Disk Warrior, letting the battery drain, everything.
    Nothing worked ... until I used Disk Utility to reformat the disk with the "Zero Out Data" option (in the Security pop-up) enabled. This, apparently, reformatted the drive in such a way as to account for bad sectors. It took about an hour.
    After that, I restored it with the latest iPod software, and to my delight, it booted normally. It now works fine.
    Found that on web mite help you.... but i dont have a mac

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stuck on apple logo screen

    New iPod nano 7th gen.  At first attempt to upload songs, was prompted to update software.  So, software was updated and as I was installing software update to the iPod, I got a message stating that the iPod was in the process of a restore (I think this is what it said.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention as i was not expecting any problems).  I continued with the restore because nothing had been uploaded to the iPod yet so nothing would be lost.  At this point, the device has been stuck on the apple logo screen for a couple of hours now.  The only response I can get from it is when I do a reset.  The screen will black as it should and then go right back to the logo and stay.  Please help.....Son not happy as this was one of his Christmas presents this morning.  Really not looking forward to a trip to the apple store on the day after Christmas.

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

  • Ipod nano 4th gen stuck on apple logo even after restore

    okay, i have an ipod nano 4th gen. it gets stuck on the boot logo, (apple logo) every time it tries to restart. i have rebooted, gone into the diagnostics, put it into disk mode, and even restored from there. the computer doesnt recognize the ipod unless in disk mode and no matter how many times i restore or reboot, it does the same thing every time. stuck. please help

    Since you have the "exact" same problem, why don't you do any of the following:
    If you have AppleCare and/or still under warranty, give them a call.  If not, take your iPod to your local Apple Store or AASP.  Let them properly diagnose the problem and provide you w/a repair estimate.
    U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • IPod touch 4g is stuck on apple logo

    I tried turning it on like i always do every afternoon after it being off all night and morning but then it became stuck on the apple logo and has been for about 30 minutes now. I know to fix this you have to hold down both the power and home button at the same time so it can restore but the problem is my home button is broken and does not work anymore. Is there another way to fix this? Like if i just leave it alone for however long it will eventually start working again? Or am I just screwed with no other way and being out of an ipod now?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:

    and

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stuck on Apple Logo loading up screen.

    I have looked at many posts and nobody has found a solution which suits me.
    My IPod gets stuck on the Apple Logo Loading screen when I turn the IPod on. Many say to reset the IPod, and so I do, and before long it dies, meaning it is unable to complete the reset.
    When I plug it into the computer it dies not long after it stays on the logo screen, but when it is plugged into the wall it will just stay on the apple logo screen for ages. So could it be the IPod itself that isn't working?
    ITunes cannot detect the IPod because the PC cannot detect it, and the reason the PC cannot detect it, is that the IPod has to be loaded and ready.
    So I am running out of ideas, the nearest Apple Store is miles away.
    I had it as a Christmas present this year, so its not that old.
    The Apple Mobile Device service is fully working.
    Any advice would be grateful, thanks!

    If not then I would take it in for repair.
