IPod Mini Stuck On 'Language'

I have reset the iPod Mini a hundred times, but when the Apple disappears, the 'Language' list appears and thats it. Doesn't move from there at all. Nothing responds.... no scrolling, nada. Cant select the language type displaye either.
Sugestions anyone?

This might help: Restore Your Ipod to Factory Settings
It will delete everything on your iPod, though.
Good luck!

My iPod is stuck on Language Selection screen

My iPod Nano 7th generation is stuck on language selection screen. Language can be selected but "Done" button cannot be pressed.

Sounds like a hardware malfunction with the device. Could be the clickwheel itself or the logicboard. Either way, you'll need to send your iPod in for service if you want to be able to use it again.

Ipod mini stuck in disk mode wont reset

Hey,
My iPod mini is stuck in disk mode, either displaying "ok to disconnect" or "do not disconnect" and won't reset.
When connected to my PC, iTunes does not notice the iPod, although it does show up in "my computer". When I try to run an iPod updater to restore the iPod, it either takes forever and I end up pushing CTRLALTDEL, or it comes up with the error message "cannot mount iPod".
I already know how to reset an iPod mini, having done it many times before. I've removed and reinstalled iTunes and iPod updater many times and it's making no difference.
So what can I do? I've had so many problems with iPod mini since I've had it. Every couple of months I end up stuck in front of my computer trying to fix it. Can anyone help me, or is there a way of contacting apple for a replacement?
Thanks

Hi
First of all thanks for your reply, but...
Please try to plug your iPod with the AC charger and press "select"+"menu" keys- to get out from disk mode
OK, did that, now I get the folder icon, or if I then try to reset the mini, it goes back to disk mode.
When I plug it into the PC now, it does kind of a loop. It goes from Mac logo to folder icon to "do not disconnect" to "ok to disconnect", then repeats. The PC is not recognising the ipod at all now.

Ipod mini stuck in recovery mode, even after restoring

my ipod mini is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried putting it into disk mode and restoring the ipod but , as soon as it resets after restoring it shows it's still in recovery mode. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

What happens if you try and do a low level reformat of the iPod using the tools provided by windows and the step-by-step guide on this page?

Another good troubleshooting step at this point might be to remove all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC.
Try restoring it on another PC or Mac if necessary.

Help!! Ipod mini stuck on logo

My ipod mini is stuck on the apple logo screen. I try to reset it. But its still there. When i plugged it up to the charger all it did was show the logo. I can't get it off. Can somebody HELP!! me.

You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up on the computer...

IPod mini stuck on Hold after changing battery

I just replaced the battery on my 4gb iPod Mini. prior to changing the battery, I moved the "lock" switch to the locked position (per the battery vendor's instructions). I replaced my battery & have twice restored the Mini to it's original settings, but the lock icon won't disappear when I toggle the switch. when I slide the as a result, I can't play anything. I can add music/podcasts to the Mini, but I can't play them. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try resetting the iPod mini by holding in the center button along with the up button. Hold it in until you see the Apple logo appear. If resetting it doesn't work, let me know.

Ipod mini stuck in "do not disconnect mode"

I had my ipod mini plugged in and downloading music onto it...it was working fine, when I was done I ejected it off the computer so I could disconnect it...it ejected off my desktop but then the screen that says "do not disconnect" would not go off my ipod screen then my computer froze so I restarted it and unplugged the ipod, now the ipod is frozen on that screen, I tried restarting it and that didn't work, I tried plugging it back into the computer and it won't show up on my computer or my sisters computer and the screen won't change....any suggestions??

If you are sure resetting it doesn't help (and it might take many attempts), then look here.

Ipod Mini stuck on Apple Icon Screen

I was using my ipod mini, and had it connected to my computer, and the computer crashed. Now the screen perpetually has the Apple Icon on it. Permanently. I've tried resetting the mini (by holding the menu and select keys, and also by holding the menu and play keys), and what happens is the Apple Icon dissapears for a few moments, then returns. Sometimes I'll get the low battery icon too. Then it's back to the apple icon on screen. Basically, I'm not able to reset the little bugger. I'm scanning the boards and have read the FAQs, and hope I'm not out of luck. Please help.

Hello,
Have you tried restoring your iPod?
Restore your iPod
Try running down your iPod's battery (by leaving it on) then turning it off, and plugging it into the power source for at least 24 hours. See what happens.
Can your iPod go into disk mode? Try putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again.

Ipod mini stuck with apple logo displayed

My ipod mini only displays the apple logo, will not reset, and is not recognized by the computer (doesn't open iTunes or appear on the desktop when I manually open iTunes). Has charged all day so battery should not be the problem. When I try to reset, the apple logo will briefly disappear then immediately come back on. Cannot get anything else to display. Any suggestions??

Thanks. I tried to put it into disk mode but it wouldn't do it. The apple logo still displays, but now it blinks when plugged into the computer, and stays solid when plugged into the AC adaptor. It is my son's iPod and he just told the battery hasn't been holding its charge as long as it used to. But this sounds like more than a battery problem to me. What do you think? It was purchased in Dec of last year. Thanks for all your effort to help me!

IPod mini stuck on hold

My mini is locked and I cannot get the hold to turn off. I have tried restoring it several times and nothing. When the restore is complete, I get the language menu on the screen, but I cannot navigate with the click wheel. I can sync and add/remove songs from it in iTunes, but still I cannot operate any of the buttons. Once I disconnet the usb cable, it will auto shutoff after a couple of minutes and I cannot get it to power back on unless I plug it back in. I have tried and let it sit to drain the battery before recharging and restoring, no luck.

The slider might have become disconnected from the switch inside. If it was me I would open it and see if I could put it back on or investigate if the switch itself was still working. However I am comfortable doing stuff like that.
On the other hand, if the iPod is completely unusable as it is, you don't have much to lose.

New iPod woes, stuck at language selection.

So I just got my iPod home from the store and turn it on and the first screen I see is to select what language I want to use. It is defaulting to English, with a list of many other languages underneath it but I cannot get it to proceed or even to highlight another option, it appears completely frozen. There are not too many buttons to push, is it broken right out of the box or am I missing something?
There is no owners manual so I am not even sure how to turn it off, it just stays on when I unplug the USB cable from the bottom of the iPod and there does't appear to be a "power" button of any kind.
Also, I am using Firefox 1.07 as my browser. When I try to access the music store I am told that the music store could not be reached and to check my connection. Obviously I'm posting here so my internet connection is just fine.
Must say, so far I'm not impressed with the iPod or the customer care. A page in the support section tells me that I can chat with a live person, but when i get there it asks me to select a product and enter a serial code. The only products available to select or iPod Shuffle and iMac. No option for just iPod which seems to cause it to choke when I enter the serial #. Any other customer support emails or phone #s are buried, I suppose I will resume the hunt for them after I post this.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate any info.

Welcome to the discussions Patrick,
It may or may not have said it on there but there is one number for apple support. It is 1-800-APL-CARE. You dial this number during buisness hours and follow the steps given. Since you just bought this (a video ipod right?) you have one year or 90 days of phone and tech support. As for turning the ipod on and off it is the play/pause button and the center button. Center to turn it on and play/pause to turn it off. It is confusing at first yes, but you should get the hang of it. The applecare representatives will/should take care of you.
