Ipod 80gb is stuck on apple screen and clicks. Continue to restart non stop

I have two ipods and both are having the same problem. One is a 2gb nano and the other is an 80gb 5th gen. Both will go to the apple load screen and sit there for a second or two and restart and never end this sequence for hours. The 80gb 5th gen will make clicking noises between restarts. Both batteries have been charged and I even replaced the battery in the 80 gb with a new one and still the same problem. I thought maybe the hard drive was to blame but the nano doesn't have one. I have no idea what it could me.
Here is a video I posted on you tube as well. Not the best quality but you get the idea.

I have tried restoring to factory settings and reinstalling software but no luck.

i have the same problem with my 30gb ipod video. what happens with my ipod is it sits with the apple logo(with no back light on) on and then will keep doing this with an occational sad ipod face. i was conivinced it was the harddrive so i bougt a new one and installed it my self but nothing has changed. i have tryed putting it in to dfu mode and restoreing it that way but once it is pluged into the usb cable it will shut off and go back to the apple icon.

  • Restarted ipod and it continues to restart non-stop

    hey, i reset my ipod nano and it continues to restart nonstop, also, my computer (windows xp) is not reading my ipod, i need to use this tommorow on a trip so will someone please respond!! can anyone help!!??
    ???   Windows XP  

    Well, it's after "tomorrow"...
    Start you iPod in Disk Mode by holding Select (middle button) and Play/Pause for a few seconds. You can now connect to your iPod with iTunes and remove the last files added.
    Reboot your Ipod by holding Menu and Select a few seconds.
    It seems to be a problem with some mp3-files, either strange header-information or some weird problen with gapless playback.

    My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • IPod stuck at Apple screen and computer won't restore iPod

    My 80gb Classic is stuck on the Apple screen, and doesn't respond at all. It says to restore my iPod using iTunes, however, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, even though I've updated it.
    I've tried restarting my iPod, updating iTunes, and repeated attempts at connecting my iPod. None of the support articles really help, and I've tried all I can think of.

    Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • IPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes, iPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and a windows7 machine; and it's stucked in apple screen. And it's not reconized in iTunes program. Please, help.

    this just happened to me as well. i've found several other threads here that amount to people with the same problem. the posts are all from this week and no one has goten an answer yet. the phone help amounted to the 'hold the sleep and home buttons' advice that only puts you right where you already are: looking at the 'connect to itunes' picture. then my help guy says 'let me ask a supervisor' and basically hangs up on me.
    this is the second time for me, though, so i already know that if you go into the store they can do the restore there. what i want is advice on how to prevent this without just refusing all future updates.

  • IPod Touch Stuck on Apple Screen and iTunes won't recognize

    I was resetting my ipod touch to clean it off to give to my sister. I thought it was plugged in, but turns out it was not, so the battery died while it was resetting itself. Now it is stuck on the apple screen. I have tried everything to reboot it and get iTunes to recognize the device, but nothing has worked. I had my computer cleaned, so iTunes is brand new and has never been hooked up to this iPod Touch. I need help please!!

    TRy placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring. See:

  • My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

    My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. Please help!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IPhone 4 stuck on Apple screen...Help!!!

    My phone is stuck on the apple screen.  It has been restarting at least 6 times a day since about two weeks after I got it. I have done at least 5 factory resets, 3 of which I did not restore the content on my phone and it still has issues.  I took it the Genius bar and they couldn't fix it, told me I was stuck with it for a few days until they got a new one in for me.  I didn't think that was a big deal since I could still use it, just had to make really quick calls or texts.  Now it is stuck on the apple screen, and won't completely restart.  Have tried holding the sleep/wake button and home button, but it won't completely reset.  I have tried getting it to let me do a restore...It won't work.  Any other suggestions?  I really hate being without a phone for a couple days.   And this phone is making me miss my DRIOD!!!!!!

    I went to the apple store today, because it completely shut down on me for the second time (screen went completely black, couldn't restart it nothing worked, it lasted 8 hours and my battery finally died so it let me restart it so it could charge) and Verizon was not helpful at all. The guy at Apple had no clue what was wrong with me phone, so he ordered me a new phone, but it won't be in for a couple days.  Apparently they were out of stock at the store.  I did try that and still just the apple screen.  I guess I will wait for my battery to dies and just recharge it and do a reset on it again.  Thats about the only thing I can think of.
