IPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug & won't go away!

Okay, I am trying to update a mini ipod for my neice. I originally have the 20GB ipod. Hers however is the 1.1 mini ipod... and I think it was formated for windows on a pc, but I didn't know this until after I reset it on my mac.
I reset it to the factory setting, but it said I needed to plug it into the wall jack to complete the software settings... which is cool and fine. So i did by USB, but now all I get is this iPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug. The icon will not go away and neither will anything change. I can't turn it off and if I try to bring up anything, all I get is the apple and then this icon, over and over again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ipod Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   I think this mini was formated for a PC, does that matter?

Actually I did do what is it said, and it continued to blink the power adapter and wall plug picture, while I had it plugged into the wall socket. So that is why I posted this question.
So someone else actually replied to my question and said that I have to plug it into my car ac adapter and it would finish rebooting... which it did.
Thanks for the tips. I'm not computer iliterate, I'm just learning about the ipod.

  • IPod mini can't see firewire power adapter after 1.4.1 update

    I updated my mini to the (infamous) 1.4.1 update, and now my firewire connection doesn't appear to work. When plugged into the computer with the firewire cable, mini doesn't appear on desktop or in iTunes, though it will start recharging the battery. When firewire power adapter is plugged into dock or into mini to try to recharge, it doesn't work. I purchased a new firewire cable & adapter but it's behaving the same way. USB cable to computer works fine (mini shows up on desktop and in iTunes). I've tried the Reset, Retry Restart, Reinstall, Restore. protocol several times with no success. I've tried Resetting the mini while plugged into the firewire power adapter. No luck.
    Any suggestions?
    Is there a way to uninstall this update?

    Thanks Chris - I did this, and am now running the earlier version of the software, but my iPod still can't see my power adapter. Any ideas about this?

  • 4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

    4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

    Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't  work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further,  I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB  power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not.  Thanks again.

  • I just bought a power adapter and it is not working, says "not charging".   The same for the mobile charger.   Anything I need to do in the setting?

    The device is locked to the carrier it was purchased through unless you specifically purchased it as unlocked directly from Apple.
    Only the carrier to whom it is locked can authorize it's unlocking.  To do so, the user much contact them to start the unlock process.

  • I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.

    You'll certainly need a new logic board.
    If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
    Good luck,

  • HT201413 My I phone 5 locked on me during an update to IOS 8. Nothing is happening at all. I have a frozen picture of the power cord and a red circle that says itunes.

    My I phone 5 locked on me during an update to IOS 8. Nothing is happening at all. I have a frozen picture of the power cord and a red circle that says itunes.

    What happened is the update forced your phone into recovery mode. There's been a lot of issues with this, but the only thing you can do is plug the phone into iTunes and do a restore on it. Hopefully you have a backup so you can restore your information.

    You can reload your data from your most recent backup. If you backup at least weekly, you would only lose anything added since that backup.

  • Which power adapter and cord to order?

    Aloha, I cannot figure out which power adapter and cord to order for my Mac OS X 10.7.5.  Does it matter if it is a Magsafe or Magsafe 2?  I have a T shaped connector.  The 15-inch Mac Pro  is early 2008.  Mahalo!

  • HP Photosmart 7510 touch screen, power light and wifi lights won't turn on

    I bought my HP Photosmart 7510 over a year ago, just past warranty. I've printed less than 50 pages total at home and only 3 photos. Just as of two days ago, the touch screen decided not to work anymore, and the lights that usually come on next to the power button and wifi icon won't come on either. However, when I turn it on, the same tones sound out and the scanner and ink jets move around in their usual set-up. I've troubleshooted with trying several different ways of restarting it, but to no avail.
    HP tech support phone line was a joke, I got told by the first representative (before telling him which product I had or even offering to troubleshoot) that he was going to send a repairman to my house for $149. Over the price of my printer. So I tried calling back and spoke with a young woman who, when I asked if she would help me troubleshoot my printer, said "you can't troubleshoot that, only software". Then insisted that I pay $130 for a new printer. When I asked to be transferred to her supervisor, I was yelled at, told to again buy a new HP printer, and pushed off the phone.
    I have had several HP products, I always seek them out for the brand name and have trusted the merchandise. But one year of life in a product is just silly. And unforturnately, I won't be able to convince myself to buy another one for that kind of lifespan unless I can fix this. I know I'm not the first one with this issue, is there a RECALL I'm not aware of? How can I get this puppy working again?

    Hello cbroomhead,
    I am sorry to hear about your Photosmart 7510's touch screen showing blank and not working. I understand you can still hear the printer warming up when you power it on. I would like to post you a troubleshooting guide below to try in hopes to correct the issue.
    If you have tried all of the steps and the screen is still blank, you can also try another power cable if you have one.
    Blank Control Panel Display
    If you are able to have the screen come back on, also check for a Firmware Update.
    I hope this helps!

  • Apple FireWire Power Adapter and iPod Classic

    I just looked through the user guide, and it doesn't mention anything positive or negative about using the Apple FireWire Power Adapter that came with my 3G iPod. Any chance I'm going to fry my new iPod if I try charging it with the Firewire Power Adapter?
    Thanks,

    No, you will not fry your new iPod.

  • HT1848 my ipod touch 4th generation will not power on, and itunes doesn't recognizes it when it is connected through the usp

    I can not get my Ipod touch to power on, and it isn't recognized by itunes when it is plugged in. does anyone know what the problem could be and or have had the same problem and fixed it??? I appreciate any and all help with this problem, and definately open for suggetions. Thanks again. Cynthia

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New power adapter and battery, still not working?!

    A couple days ago, my macbook stopped charging. The power adapter was plugged in, but there was no indication that it recognized it or was charging, so I figured it was a broken power adapter. I bought a new one, plugged it in, everything was fine - until the next day. The new power adapter stopped working as well. So, I go to the genius bar, and they tell me it's my battery. I buy a new battery and plug in the new charger. Everything's working again, until I unplug the power adapter to move my laptop into another room - and now it's not charging again! I tried every power outlet, and something is definitely wrong with the macbook itself. I'm pretty frustrated since I've now spent $200 on new stuff and the problem still isn't resolved.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    A, I love Alexia Potatoes--I think I'm having some garlic mashed with dinner tonight.
