IPod classic hung at "black Apple" screen

My 160GB Classic was hung up so I re-set (menu + center select button.) The "black apple" appeared in the screen, but will not move past that point. It appears to be hung in the reset mode.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bucky123

Did you try to reset it again?
If it resets but still gets stuck on the Apple screen, see if you can force it into disk mode after a reset...

  • Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)

    Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)
    -I've already replaced my old 60 GB Ipod in exchange for an 80GB, I bring it home, sync it up with Itunes v7.02 and everything works fine for a while. Not even 24 hours later I go down into my artist/song directory to play a song, and it freezes again. I do the menu center key soft reboot a few times to bypass it and it works for awhile. I've tried looking for current updates for software on it, Restoring it, Resyncing and now It gets to the point everytime I unplug the ipod from charging I get back to the menu and try to play a song or video and it does nothing, it freezes everytime.
    There has to be an explanation as to why my first one did it and why my new 80GB is doing it.
    I've already ran a diagnosis on all the files in the ipod all of them come back clean.
    Help me out.
    If you know how to resolve this issue reply and/or email me

    My ipod is having a similar problem. The black apple logo has been the only thing I see on my ipod. I went a step farther and held the select and play/pause button to get it into disk mode. Once I am here I cannot proceed. I do not have computer that I hook it up to and have transferred the desired songs from an ex-girlfriends computer which I do not have access. What can I do once I have it in disk mode if I do not have a computer available?

    HELP
    My iPod classic (2007) 80 GB FROZEN SCREEN (Now Playing window showing the song that is suppose to be playing, will not respond to buttons, Will not SYNC, iTunes does not recognize it AT ALL when I plug it in. Will not shut off, will not charge... pretty frustrated, I updated it recently (within the last 10 days....Has anyone had similar experience? If so was it fixed? Please post any help for me... thank you... I am pretty frustrated right now.

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • 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.

    I have 60gb ipod classic.  Music plays, but screen is blank or white.  Resetting has not worked.  Lines show when reset, but no Apple logo.  Is display shot?

    Hello Paul,
    I would be concerned too if my display on my iPod classic was not working.  I recommend going through the steps in this tutorial.  If it is a software issue, these steps should resolve the issue:

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Why does my iPhone 5c go to black apple screen when I unlock it?

    When using my messaging, if my phone locks when I unlock it, it goes directly to the black apple screen that usually appears when turning my phone on. Then it will eventually go back to my messages. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it?

    Hi MrsBarnett10,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone not unlocking normally while using Messages,   you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you're unable to logon to Windows no matter via normal start or safe mode, and startup repair doesn't work with the disk?

  • 30GB ipod freezes at black apple screen.

    Alright, i don't know what the deal is with this thing. I've had it for maybe 2 months. And it just started acting up within the last two weeks. At first there was about a 5 second lag when trying to skip between songs and/or executing any commands. And my laptop didn't want to recognize it (running Windows XP)and yes i made sure the USB hubs were on. So that was the issue for a while. So i ran the updater and updated the ipod and itunes. Didn't work. So i restored my ipod...completely erasing it. Now whether it's empty or has my music on it, it won't start. It'll just go to the black apple startup screen. I can however get it to go into Disk Mode. So what's the deal?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Regrets you're experiencing this problem.
    Recommend you bring your iPod to your nearest Apple authorized repair shop and show the problem to a technician.

  • I traded my iPod Classic 80GB at the apple store for a junk one.

    I recently traded my iPod Classic 80GB for a new one because my friends dock messed up my iPod. Then I received a "new one" (notice the quotes). This didn't seem like it was new. I got home and synchronized it to my iTunes. I ejected it properly and all the stuff like that. I picked a song and it played properly but, when i pressed the menu button it did nothing. So, I kept pressing it and eventually got it when I pressed it very hard, which shouldn't happen. I tested all the other buttons and i realized that the menu button didn't work properly, the play/pause button wasn't stable (you have to press it hard and hold it completely still until it turned off or played a song, the next song button didnt work, the iPod could not reset because of the broken buttons and everything was "laggy." (Meaning that the scrolling the volume up and down had a slow, very choppy movements). Also when it would go to another screen it would take about 3-7 seconds to react. When I tested my friends iPod Classic 80GB, it did not do any of this. Just the other day I tried to reset it (holding down the play/pause button and the center button) then all the buttons stopped working. I pressed every single button it did not work. It didn't even reset. Would I get a new one if I brought it back to the apple store?

    The entire point of any warranty is that it guarantees against manufacturer defect for the term of the warranty.  There is no guarantee past the warranty period.  This is the way a warranty works.

  • IPod Classic 80GB not recognizing Apple (genuine) Composite AV Cable

    At the recommendation of a user on here, I tried using the MB129LL/B cable to connect my 80GB iPod Classic to my TV to watch videos on my TV that only has RCA jacks (no component jacks). 
    The audio worked, but the video did not.  While the audio from the video playing on my iPod came out of my TV crystal clear, the iPod simply displayed a screen saying "TV Out Enabled" and "Please Connect Video Accessory" under an image of the large, wide, pronged end of any cable that connects to the bottom of the iPod.
    This is not the headphone jack cable that everyone says no longer works since Apple's change to prevent this.  I am using the one that is supposed to work still, and it is the genuine Apple-brand product, albeit the older version.  Do I just have a faulty cable?  Or is there some sort of troubleshooting that I can do?

    What's your Video out settings - PAL or NTSC set it similar as your TV.
    Make sure you set TV out to ON.
    For MB129LL/B, you should connect the yellow end cable to a Yellow end  socket on your TV.
    You should connect the MB129LL/B USB connector to a iPod charger or a USB port, to get suffucient power for the video output.
    Check your TV setup so that it knows which AV input to get the video signal from the iPod, and set the TV resolution to low, iPod Resolution is only 480/576p or 4:3 format.
    FYI, use
    MB129LL/B for Non HD TV,  Component signal
    MB128LL/B for  HD TV, composite signal if your HD TV don't have component signal input ( No yellow port but only Blue, green etc video input)
    Audio input for all,  will be red and white.
    I'm not suggesting that you buy MB128LL/B, unless your TV don't have component video input. (Not Likely), but check your iPod video settings
    Have a Nice day!
