Try resetting the iPod whilst connected to the charger. Hold down the menu/select buttons until you see the logo. Also have a look here.

    Try the troubleshooting steps set out on this page: "iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when you turn it on" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003
    If they don't work and it continues to make strange noises then return it as it is probably a more serious fault than you can fix youirself

    Hiya,
    That is a problem with the battery in Older iPod Minis. If you have never replaced it, then I'd start thinking about it. My company www.dr-pod.com can do this for you. However, to cure your problem, you should leave your iPod connected to power for an hour, then you should see some activity on screen. Don't disconnect, leave it there for about 8 hours, to fully charge the iPod's battery.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging.  When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point.  Is it dead for good?

    If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery.  If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources.  Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

    There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
    (Note:  Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
    You can also have a repair business do the work.
    If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.

  • Old ipod displays a "folder" with a !

    I've inherited an old 4gb ipod from my daughter (actually she just left it when she set off round the world..) I've connected it to the Mac and it showed what looked like a battery with a flash across it then went to a picture of a folder with an exclamation mark and the URL of the ipod support forum.
    Resetting it gets me the Apple logo but then that goes and I get the folder picture back again.
    It's not showing up in iTunes or in the Music Rescue application.
    I'm wondering if the reason my daughter didn't take it is because it's broken! Battery gone perhaps?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why do i see a yield symbol with an exclamation mark in final cut pro 7.

    Why when editing in Final Cut Pro 7 do I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it when stopped.  I sometimes see a gree check mark and am wondering the differnce and how to adjust?

    Because you have the View set to display a warning for excess chroma. You can turn that off by going to the menu View > Range Check > Off.

  • What is the gray triangle with the exclamation mark?

    Samsung G4.  In text messages, what does the gray triangle with the exclamation mark mean?

    1. Displays when external SD card has been improperly removed or unexpectedly.
    2. Displays to alert you to disable active WiFi direct connection if not in use to conserve power.
    3. Displays when there is a system error or alert.
    Those are the three reasons I found,  It's probably #3.

    Since Nov update about a third of my songs have a circle with an exclamation mark inside the circle. These songs will not play on my computer. Message says  "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I have reloaded these back onto itunes with my own CD collection. They work for a short while, then the same thing happens. I don't  know what is causing this or how to fix it.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark.

    How about the most likely occurance - something incorrect about how the iPhoto library was transfered
    What version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.3 is the latest)?
    exactly how was your iPhoto library transfered to your new hard drive
    This indicates that there is a problem in the iPhoto database - a possible solution to try is Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    Why did you get a new hard drive? What kind of backup do you have?

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I try to click on them it shows a grey box with an exclamation mark.  How do I get the program to let me edit and use the photos?

    I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I click on the photo all that comes up is a gray screen with with an exclamation mark.
    These are the last photos ever taken of my husband and I need to know how to recover them properly.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Iphoto thumbnails ok but have triangle with an exclamation mark when I click on the thumbnail so can't view it as a bigger picture.

    In my iPhoto the thumbnails are all present but when I click on them the bigger picture is not visible and I can see a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Has anyone got any suggestions?

    That means iPhoto has lost the link to the original file.
    What version of iPhoto?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    (A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.)
    Have you used any apps to "clean" or "tune up" your Mac recently?
    Have you deleted any images from 'All My Files' or 'All My Photos'?
