Ipod Mini has a static wall outlet screen **Please Help**

So here's the story. My sister had a pc that she used her Ipod with. I just bought her an ibook and we tried to reformat the mini to have mac software. I ran the updater and chose "restore" to erase all the old contents and install a fresh system. That went fine until it prompted me to plug the ipod into the wall to reset the firmware. I did just that and nothing happened. And it still prompts me to plug it into the wall which I do. I must of done it 15 times already. I tried getting it to disk mode, but all I get is that icon of the wall outlet and the plug. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, and I still get the same response.

  • IPod touch has stopped playing through docking station, please help

    Please help, my ipod touch has stopped playing through my docking station, what should I do?

    Undock the Touch, get a flashlight and inspect the docking connector. Clear any dust/debris you find. Do the same on your docking station.

  • Ipod Touch Stuck on the Apple reboot screen, please help!

    Ok, So I was using my ipod touch. Actually I was downloading something as well as deleting some pictures of my ipod.
    Eventually it froze up so I had to put it on reboot mode. So after about half an hour I started to notice that it had lasted way longer than usual, however I let it continue for another hour until the battery ran out. Even after the battery ran out and I plugged it into my computer it stays on the apple screen and therefore my iTunes refuses to recognize my iPod.
    What can I Do?
    P.S.
    At times it acts like it is ab out to finally fix itself yet it just goes to black and then back to the apple screen.
    I even left it charging all night and it was still in the same screeen. The only time it changes is to show me that it is out of battery

  • My new ipod touch has no icons just background screen. Is this normal?

    My new ipod touch has no icons, just background screen. Help?

    The screen of a new iPod will have a iTunes and a USB cord icons. To use the iPod you first have to connect the iPod to a computer with an internet connect and which has the latest version of iTunes installed. ITunes will give you instructions after you connect the iPod to the computer.

  • My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

    My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and 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.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

    Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

  • IPod Mini has no library.

    Hello everyone, this is my first post ever. It's a sad story, actually. I had a beautiful 1st generation iPod touch for about two years ago. Recently, my girlfriend's father managed to water damage my iPod touch, and refuses to replace it. Nice guy, isn't he? I don't have to funds to replace my touch, and I know nobody in the world covers water damage, so I found my old 4GB iPod mini. I want to use it until I can save up for a new however, it's not recognized by iTunes. Windows XP recognizes it as an iPod, but iTunes (9.2.0.61) never recognizes it. I tried using 3rd party programs such as CopyTrans, and CopyTrans diagnosed the issue saying that my iPod mini has no library and thats why it can't be recognized. How do I fix this? Thanks to all for reading and helping!

    Hello jbass54,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried some of the basics yet such as trying a different connector cable or simply plugging the iPod into different ports? Perhaps try and reset the iPod with it connected to your PC. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You may want to attempt this a few times for good measure.
    If still no luck, try and force the iPod into *Disk Mode*.

  • Ipod mini has a sad face!!

    my 4gb ipod mini has a sad face and it will not work anymore. How can i get it to work again? Any ideas?

    See these troubleshooting articles.

    What does this picture on my iPod mean?
    Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

    - 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 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.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.
