Ipod goes on but seems to be with an error

Ok, so this iPod is pretty old but hardly used. We moved 3 years ago & I just found it in a box in the garage. I plugged it in to charge. Seemed to be charging. Now, all I see on the screen is a picture of a folder, a triangle with an exclamation point, & the text: "www.apple.com/support/ipod".
What's going on?
When I press the middle button the apple flashes by for a second & then brings me back to the same screen.
Thanks in advance!

As I said the iTunes program on the computer. You open iTunes on the computer and go to the View menue in the upper rightand then click on preferences. Go to Devices and delete the backup.

- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Partition my HD with Lion but it comes up with an error"

I'm trying to partition my HD with Lion but it comes up with an error" couldn't modify partition map because file system verification failed.
i have verified permissions and repair them all check out good. Any ideas?

Ok try this.
Get a copy of your users file data folders (Music, Docs etc) off the machine onto a storage drive and disconnect it.
Do this in addtition to TimeMachine or clone backups, you need to have two copies and TM drives are not quite as easily accesible and can get corrupted.
1: Boot into Recovery HD (hold command and r keys down) and use Disk Utility to First Aid >Repair the drive, see if that works if it can't repair the drive, you have a more serious issue. If it does repair the drive, do it again until nothing is repaired.
2: Next use Disk Utility to Erase Free Space with Zero option on the Macintosh HD partition, this will map off bad sectors as DU will check the file it created for errors.
(#1 and #2 here fixed my issue trying to create a partiton when DU failed.)
3: Try to create your new partiton again, I suggest you use the BootCamp software partitoning portion as it's drop dead easy and you can later use Disk Utility to change the format from MSDOS to something else, like OS X Extended for installing OS X or whatever format you require.
Or by Windows 7 installer which will change the format to NTFS for boot Windows in BootCamp.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
If DU doesn't repair the drive, next create a Recovery USB following these instructions and option key boot off of it and run Disk Utility on the entire drive to repair it.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/08/lion-recovery-disk-assistant-tool-makes-external- lion-boot-recovery-drives/
If you can't repair the drive, your going to have to use Disk Utility on the USB to Erase with Security Zero Erase, (that's one step from the right selection), the ENTIRE drive (select the drive makers name and size on the right).
This will rebuild your partiton map (which can only be done booted from a external source) and fix your entire drive of bad sectors.
Now use the USB to reinstall Lion and Recovery from Apple's servers, you will need your AppleID and password, plus a fast relaible Internet connection.
Next install your iLife by reading here
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Install your programs from original sources and create accounts with the same name, then return files from the storage drive you made earlier.

HT201210 i am trying to restore my phone but its coming up with an error.

i am trying to restore and backup my iphone 5 but its comung up with an error!

If you are using an iphone, take it to your nearest apple shop if you have one available. However make sure your current phone info ie, applications have been stored on your computer. This happens automaticlly in the first phase of restoring your phone when it is retrieved from your phone. That way you don't lose your vital info and contacts once your phone has been restored. Basically do not opt for restore as a new phone on your return from the Apple shop. I had the same experience last Thursday.

I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

Did you try more than once? If so:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I tryed to update to ios 6.0.1 on my iPod touch 4g but it always says that a error has occurred. Any suggestions.

If you are updating via Settings>General>Software update then connect to your computer and update via iTunes
Otherwise what is the full wording of the error message?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
Open Office is free, you can download it here:

Hi Phillip,
The first q is what model is it? How old?
Some background....
You have a problem that has been experienced by many iPod owners. (including me)
I have tried to solve this issue by manual resets, upgrading firmware and a total restore. None of these solved my problem. It's a 4G 20Gb.
Your course of action:
Repair (warranty valid?)
Let me know how you get on.
Regards,
Roger
