Ipod classic wont get past error screen

Have tried resetting numerous times, have tried putting it in disk mode(doesnt allow me to, just shows error screen) Basically it will reach the apple logo then go a screen with a x and it says to go to apple.com for support.

I have the same problem. I have not seen a posting for resolving, short of calling apple. Cannot get past "X" on the screen telling you to contact Apple.

    Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

  • 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.

  • My 160 g ipod classic wont synk past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011)

    my 160 g ipod classic will not sync past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011) i have formated it with windows and restored it several times nothing works should i toss it and buy a new one or is it me doing somthing wrong

    Thanks everyone, lots of good suggestions here.
    I did briefly consider trying the idea of grouping smaller loads of playlists to upload, but I also noticed that each time I ejected then re-synched the iPod a few more gigs of music would upload.
    So I just kept at it until most (nearly all) of my music made it onto the thing.
    This seems like a really rudimentary thing for Apple to fix - but more fundamentally, this shouldn't happen at ALL. When they market a new product, having such a basic issue plague it seems very Microsoft-like.
    Up to this point I've never been disappointed with anything Apple has ever done.
    This issue is purely and simply bad design and slipshod programming. I hope they fix it in the extremely near future.
    Thanks again for all your help and suggestions guys!
    Cheers

  • My ipod classic wont progress past apple logo

    I currently have an ipod classic 20gb, for quite some time it hasn't been working correctly, it just will not progress past the apple logo screen, I keep resetting it as per the trouble shooting, all I keep getting is, the folder with the ! mark by it saying www.apple.com/support, been onto there and its saying do the steps i've already done, i've literally tried everything, what would you surgest?
    thanks

    Hopefully you have charged it for at least 2 hours.
    I'm not too sure if this will work for your old model, which is earlier than 5th Gen.
    Try the DiskDiagnostic as posted by tt2, once you get the Apple logo screen, move your finger on the Menu button to the rewind button |<<

    Anyway, it is  a troubleshooting step and does not fix your problem.

  • Macbook wont get past second screen (blue)when turned on

    just recently, my macbook (13 in 2008)started acting wrong for no apparent reason.when i turn it on it does the chime and the apple screen then goes to a blue screen and gets stuck there.if i start in safe mode, it doesn't even get past the apple screen. i've also tried to reset the pram, but no luck.

    did you try _*resetting the System Management Controller SMC*_ ?
    if still no joy, try booting from the install DVD, launch disk utility and run a +repair disk+ session. if DU reports problems, repeat until no more errors appear. if DU insists the disk can't be repaired, you may need to get DiskWarrior or [_*TechTool Pro*|http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=comcontent&task=view&id=202&Itemid=107].

  • After updating my email wont get past the screen with all the mail options like icloud yahoo ect...

    I updated my Iphone4s and went to open my mail I have on my iphone @me.com account. I hit the mail icon and the screen that says "Welcome to Mail" accross the top comes up, I select icloud because thats what account I use, it promts me to enter my appleID and password, I do....this is where the problems happnes..... i get a message that says "This iClous account has already been added to your iphone" I hit OK and it goes right back to the first "welcome to mail" screen and i cant figure out how to just open my email?! I don't want to add any email I just want to check my email @me.com!!

    You won't be able to check your email without adding it, but if you're stuck at the welcome to mail screen, you should got to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars and select your icloud account. Make sure that it's not asking you for a password or stuck on verifying.
    What I would do is select delete account from there and sign back into icloud

  • Satellite C660-106 wont get past boot screen and shuts down

    hi all new here
    well we have had our c660 106 for 2 month now,but the missus decided to drop it from about 6 inches high, it stayed on but the led screen is cracked internally as the colours were bleeding over etc,unwatchable.
    It stayed on untill today and ive been pricing screens up.(had it connected through rgb to my home lcd)
    i had to unplug the laptop and turn it off,but now the problem is when i switch it on it will do the inital fire up to the toshiba black screen where i have the options 0f f2 and f12 but then immediately turns off completely, we are worried now as we have a 1 yr old and we have everything she has ever done on there,
    is there anything i can try
    i know warranty wont cover it as its obvious the screens broken and not just failed.
    any help would be brill
    thanks

    Hi nicolas221078_1
    This sounds to be some damage to the motherboard or cooling system and this is why it is now turning off all I can say is are you able to access the BIOS if so then it may be the HDD but if not then you will know 100% it is the motherboard.
    If the HDD is ok then you can take it to a data recovery service that should be able to recovery most or all of the data that is stored on the HDD.
    also just another thing to point out is to check the memory is sat correctly in the laptop this will not cause any issues with a warranty, also have you though about contense insurance they may cover the damage laptop.

  • My ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me

    my ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me

    - Try a reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • My macbook pro wont get past the grey screen at startup. Help!!

    After doing a run of the mill software update on my macbook pro (running snow leopard) it froze during the "moving items into place" stage. I forced a shut down and now it wont get past the grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel. I have tried booting from the original DVD but it still freezes. When I boot it in verbose mode it seems to stop at "jnl: unknown-dev: update_fs_block: error reading fs block # 3597880! (ret 5)", the Apple AHCD Disk Queue manager :: set power state is timing out and there is a disk I/O error. I have tried to reset the power manager (not sure if it worked or not) and I have also tried clearing the PRAM (again, not sure of that worked). When I try to look at the hard drive using target mode on my imac the hard drive doesn't come up but the DVD does. I'm concerned that my hard drive is fried. Any suggestions?

    It would help to state in your post which remedies you tried that didn't work.
    Start here >  OS X Lion: If you see a gray screen at startup
    If nothing there helped, try Starting up in Safe Mode
    Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple menu.
    If a Safe Mode boot didn't work, since your Mac has OS X v10.7 installed, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X Recovery built in utilities. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Tip:  Hold down the Eject key while starting up your Mac to eject a disc.

  • Purchased books from iTune store and downloaded it.  Now, when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message saying the title cannot be found.  I cannot find a screen that offers an option to re-download.  What gives?

    I purchased a box set of books on iTunes, and downloaded them.  The title shows up in the "purchased" section, but when I try to send it to my iPod nano, I get an error message telling me it cannot be moved because it cannot be found.  I can't find a screen anywhere offering the option to re-download either.  I've paid for the books, but cannot access them!  Every time I upgrade iTunes, it gets more confusing and harder to use. 

    Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?
