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.

My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

My ipod mini has a messed up screen! help!!!!

PLESA HELP ME!!!!! my ipod mini was taken away at school and put in the office. no student had touched the ipod mini. when i got it later theat day, there's a screen that says
remote test
hp ok
press remote keys
there is also a list of things below it in faded print. what are remote keys? how do i fix my ipod mini? PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!

What happens when you press anything? Nothing happens? Try to reset it, hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the apple logo on your screen and then let go. You might have to try this a couple of times in order for it to work. Try to use it and see what happens. I have no idea what a remote test is but if nobody fooled around with your ipod while it was in that office then why would it say that?? Can you read what that list says, the one in faded print or it's non readable because of how faded it is??

Ipod mini gen and battery test?

where can i see what generation my ipod mini is? and where can i see this battery test thing?

What is a Battery Failure?" A third-generation iPod has experienced battery failure when the capacity to hold an electrical charge has dropped to four hours or less of continuous audio playback, with earbuds attached, while first- and second-generation iPods have failed when they get five hours or less of continuous audio playback, with earbuds attached. Surprisingly, the definition does not mention whether the numbers need be reached with or without your screens backlight on. Regardless, your battery must have failed within two years of the date of purchase.
How do I know for sure if I have a Battery Failure? Run the test provided in Apples Notice, part IV. Reset your iPod, then update it with the latest Software Updater, fully charge the iPod, go to the Settings menu and turn on Repeat, then turn on a timer and play a song from an album. The song will replay until the battery runs out. If your iPod falls below the times specified above, your battery has failed.

Stuck on remote test!!!

how do i get out o fa remote test. nothing happens. my ipod wont turn off and its ruining my battery life. no buttons will work. please help me!!!!

What did you do to get to where you are stuck now?? If your buttons don't work then I suggest letting your battery run out completely until your ipod turns off and then plug it into the wall, see what happens.

Help!! Ipod mini stuck on logo

IPod touch stuck on USB connect screen but not recognized by iTunes

I downloaded the update for my iPod via iTunes but when the update attempted to install on the iPod, I received a message that the update failed. Now, my iPod is stuck on the USB connect screen (with the image of a cord below an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo). Every other thread says to connect to iTunes and attempt to reset the device (off and home button for several seconds) so I can restore it through iTunes, but even if I do that, it fails to connect to iTunes. Last time I had problems connecting to iTunes I downloaded the update through the iPod itself but seeing as I can't get off the USB connect screen, downloading it from the iPod is impossible. How can I get my iPod working again? Either getting it off the frozen screen so I can download the update, or getting my computer to recognize it so I can restore? Last time it wouldn't connect to iTunes (when it wasn't frozen) the computer still recognized it but now it does not. (I'm on a Windows 8 laptop)

My iPod is Stuck on the Reset Screen

It had been a while since I used my iPod Touch because I didn't have I lost the charger. I recently bought a new charger and once I plugged in the iPod, it started to charge normally. But the apple logo and the dead battery screen would go back and forth. So I reset it by holding the home button and lock button, and it restarted like normal with the logo but it's stuck on the logo. It has been on the reset logo for hours and I reset it multiple times to see if it would help but it is just stuck on the reset screen. I don't know what to do, I can't turn it off and resetting it isn't working.

My Ipod is stuck on the apple screen, and i've tried EVERYTHING

Let me vent a bit before my question:
I have had my Ipod Nano sent in 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR.
But they keep sending the original product back, still in non-functioning condition.
So, I sent it one more time.
I got it back today.
I plug it into my computer, and after about 45 minutes, my computer FINALLY recognizes it.
So I figure we're back in business.
Then, I start to update, and its says that it can't because it can't be read or something. (after it said it updated like 10 songs or something)
So then I reset the Ipod.
Now its stuck on the apple screen and I can't get it off.
I am so frusterated, you can't even imaginnnneeeeee how ****** off I am.
This freaking Ipod has been in shipping more then actual play time.
So then I made another request just now for repair, and it says that it already has a repair out, but my ipod just got back today..
So.
Could you please help me out here? I'm a little erked.
Thanks, Caitlin.

have you tried connecting it to a/c power and not USB? Resetting in both cases? Letting the power drain? Ipod firmware updater?
I would call them again and get a supervisor or something.

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 minus/plus icon on screen

My iPod mini has an icon that is a double -/+ right under the battery. should I worry about it? Otherwise it is playing normally. Does it have anything to do with static electricty?

"Does it have anything to do with static electricty?"
Er, no. You have the shuffle/repeat feature turned on. : )
About the icons on the "Now Playing" screen.

Ipod mini has black spot on screen

Hi, I have had my Ipod Mini for about 2 months and yesterday I saw a black spot on my screen. There is a big spot then other little ones. I have tried re booting, but nothing changes. Please help.

I think what happened is that your ipod may have been in the sun too long because the same thing happens to my ipod when it sits in the sun. try letting it sit in a dark spot for a few days.
