Ipod classic flashing apple logo

when I hold menu & select buttons, my ipod flashes the apple logo and won't go into disc mode.  Low battery symbol also shows occasionally although it's charged.  Is my battery dead?  What can I do??

I am having this same exact issue with mine, mine is a 160G though. I wish someone from Apple would answer this question already.

  • 7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play.  What is wrong with it?

    I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background.  I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it.  At one point it was in a Restore Loop.  I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers.  Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

    Hi jkjuarez2012,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • Problem: Ipod is flashing apple logo screen and beeping at me help

    Hi hows it going? My 80 gig Ipod is flashing the apple logo screen and refuses to reset, and is not read by a computer. If you have any ideas that would be lovely. If it helps I got it to tell me to plug it into power once. I have since plugged it in but it still does not work.

    See if these help.
    iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

  • IPod Classic - restore - apple logo

    My iPod Classic keeps making a clicking noise whilst displaying an apple on a grey screen. The screen then goes white and says "OK to Disconnect" and then sometimes tells me that it needs to be restored. I try to restore it but my laptop doesn't notice it

    From Grünwald to Munich: so in German -
    Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass Du relativ viele Songs auf den iPod gespielt hast - das hatte ich auch am Anfang. Der iPod läuft da schnell "über". Mehr als 16999 habe ich nicht erfolgreich gesynct bisher. Danach wird das Teil extrem unzuverlässig.
    Du musst dem iPod immer viel Zeit geben. Das Teil liegt da schon mal bis zu 5 min. im scheinbaren Koma.
    Wenn der Apfel nicht mehr weg will, bleibt Dir nur die sogenante Direct Disk Methode: drücke zuerst den Mittelbutton mit dem Menu gleichzeitig für ein paar Sekunden bis der Bildschirm schwarz wird. Dann sofort den Mittelbutton plus den Play für ein paar Sekunden bis der Bildschirm weiss wird. Dann kannst Du ihn wieder an iTunes anstöpseln - nach nicht allzu langer zeit kommt dann der iPod online und Du kannst die FW reinitialisieren. Anschliessen unmounten - per Knöpfe (oben Schritt 1) resetten und warten bis der normale iPod Screen wieder da ist.
    Dringend nötig ist ein FW-Upgrade von Apple, die diese Speicherprobleme bewältigt. Was soll ein 160er, den man nur zu 80 GB nutzen kann.

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

    You could try to do a hard reset, sometimes resetting the phone helps. Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top and the home button until you see the apple logo, this make take a minute or two but this might help.

  • What generation is the iPod classic from Apple's website?

    I am looking to purchase an iPod classic 160GB from Apple's website, and I would like to purchase a third-party casing from Amazon.
    After browsing Amazon, I realised that the iPods were classified as 6G,7G or earlier generations and I am pretty confused because it is only stated as "iPod classic" on Apple's catalogue.

  • Flashing Apple logo - does not come on and cannot power it down

    My husband has original iPhone from Dec '07. For some reason, while using it, his volume went low and he could not raise it. He tried powering it down to reset it but screen went black and then apple logo came on, then went black, then came on, flashing like that for several minutes before going black. He brought it home, i tried holding the sleep/wake button, but same result - flashing apple logos for few minutes, then black. Tried holding home button but also same result. Plugged into computer - it came on but the "Sync in Progress, do not disconnect" did not come on and phone did not register on desktop even though iTunes showed it. Anyways, did a complete restore with most recent software but again, we're still having the same problem. Phone works when plugged into computer, but not in the way it should and once you unplug it from the computer, sleep/wake button does nothing and cannot power it down. After restoring it, i again tried to power down holding sleep/wake button, but got flashing apple logos again. Any suggestions? Do we need to just take this in and have it looked at?

    Have you tried booting it to recovery? If you haven't, try these steps:
    1) Close iTunes and unplug and power down your iPhone
    2) Press and hold the home button
    3) Keeping the home button held down, plug your iPhone into your computer
    5) Keep the button held down until a recovery screen with a pic of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon shows.
    6) Open iTunes and perform a restore
    If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to go to an Apple store and get it exchanged, as the above post said.

    Please Help!

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.
