Ipod nano 4th gen stuck on apple logo even after restore

okay, i have an ipod nano 4th gen. it gets stuck on the boot logo, (apple logo) every time it tries to restart. i have rebooted, gone into the diagnostics, put it into disk mode, and even restored from there. the computer doesnt recognize the ipod unless in disk mode and no matter how many times i restore or reboot, it does the same thing every time. stuck. please help

Since you have the "exact" same problem, why don't you do any of the following:
If you have AppleCare and/or still under warranty, give them a call.  If not, take your iPod to your local Apple Store or AASP.  Let them properly diagnose the problem and provide you w/a repair estimate.
U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Ipod nano 4th gen stuck on apple logo (still) after restore

    HELP! I tried to turn on my ipod the other day but it wouldn't work - it was stuck on the apple logo screen.
    I have tried:
    - resetting it
    - letting it run out of battery completely then turning it back on again
    - restoring it
    but none of these methods worked. It is still stuck on the apple logo screen! So therefore I can't listen to music, and my laptops don't recognise my ipod... because it isn't on properly. The only way I can get laptops to recognise that my ipod is plugged in is by putting my ipod in disk mode.
    and so it is still stuck on the apple logo screen. Anybody have any ideas? I have no idea what else to try.
    thanks so much in advance!

    i have tried all of that as well and im still stuck on the apple logo. i hit it against a table and everything. Does anyone know what to do?

  • IPod Nano 4th Gen - Stuck on Apple logo

    After not using my iPod Nano (4th Gen. 4GB) for about 4 months, I try to turn it on to find it isn't responding. I figured it was completely dead, so I plug it into my computer to see an Apple logo appear on the screen, and I leave it to charge for about an hour. After charging, my computer still didn't register any usb device. When I disconnected it was stuck on the apple logo. After waiting for a while it was still on Apple logo.
    So, I did some reading and put it into disk mode. Once in disk mode it was recognized by my computer, and I promptly restored it. After it was restored I reset the iPod. But, again it was still stuck at the Apple logo screen.
    I have repeated this process three times, and each time I reset it after restoring in disk mode, the iPod is stuck at the Apple logo screen.
    Any ideas as to why it is doing this?

    his is not operating system-specific, but I want to get it on the record somewhere since I could not find the solution anywhere else.
    Last week, my third-generation 30GB iPod refused to go beyond the Apple logo on startup. It would power up, flash as if trying to go to the menu, but instead it would just show the Apple again. I tried all the usual recovery methods: resetting (hundreds of times and a couple of different ways), disk scans from the diagnostic menu, restoring with the latest iPod software and with an older version, fsck, using Disk Utility to repair and erase, Disk Warrior, letting the battery drain, everything.
    Nothing worked ... until I used Disk Utility to reformat the disk with the "Zero Out Data" option (in the Security pop-up) enabled. This, apparently, reformatted the drive in such a way as to account for bad sectors. It took about an hour.
    After that, I restored it with the latest iPod software, and to my delight, it booted normally. It now works fine.
    Found that on web mite help you.... but i dont have a mac

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stuck on apple logo screen

    New iPod nano 7th gen.  At first attempt to upload songs, was prompted to update software.  So, software was updated and as I was installing software update to the iPod, I got a message stating that the iPod was in the process of a restore (I think this is what it said.  I didn't pay a whole lot of attention as i was not expecting any problems).  I continued with the restore because nothing had been uploaded to the iPod yet so nothing would be lost.  At this point, the device has been stuck on the apple logo screen for a couple of hours now.  The only response I can get from it is when I do a reset.  The screen will black as it should and then go right back to the logo and stay.  Please help.....Son not happy as this was one of his Christmas presents this morning.  Really not looking forward to a trip to the apple store on the day after Christmas.

    I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

  • IPod Nano 5th Generation Stuck in Recovery Mode even after Restore.

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.
    Currently it is stuck in "recovery mode".
    I have followed the steps given by Apple here on a Microsoft Windows system with the latest Apple iTunes software but after step 9 I am back to "recovery" mode where I am given the option of performing the restore process all over again.
    How can I restore this iPod Nano?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't restore the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen Stuck in Apple Logo.

    Hello, My iPod Touch 5th Gen Stuck in Apple Logo.

    then i search for "slide to unlock" and i change it to "slide to eat pie"

    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 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.

  • IPod nano 4th gen stuck in dfu mode.

    I have a problem with my son's iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    When I try to restore the iPod in iTunes it gives the error 1601 and says it doesn't recognise the iPod.
    When connected to my laptop without iTunes it says 'usb DFU device'.
    I have tried every combination of buttons, before anyone tells me to 'just hold in menu and select'.
    I can't get the iPod out of DFU mode to restore. Any help is much appreciated.

  • How do i fix my ipod touch 4th gen when the apple logo appears and then a whit screen comes up and turns off and it wont charge and it wont connect to itunes

    My ipod touch 4th gen is a having a few problems with charging and turning on, my ipod comes up with the  extremely low on power symbol and then i put it into my computer and it comes up with the charging symbol then it goes to the apple logo and then onto a blank white screen and then turns off and repeats that process i have tried various things including resetting my ipod trying to connect it to itunes but it doesnt come up with anything so i cant reset it on itunes and have tried various charging devices.

    Tried it but it won't do anything all it does is make the screen do a very small flash of white and then continues doing the same thing appearing with apple logo then the white screen and off and keeps repeating that
    I'm guessing the white small flash means it's been reset when I hold the 2 buttons down,
    Thanks for suggesting.

  • IPod Nano 4th gen stuck in recovery mode

    I have an iPod Nano 4th generation that I got from my sister. It worked fine the other day when I got it, and I restored it to my iTunes account with no issues. A day later, I try to turn it on and the screen stays black. I plugged it into my laptop (Windows XP) to restore, and it tells me it needs to be prepared for recovery. I click OK and the iPod beeps 4 times. It goes through the restore process just to do the same thing again. I tried it on another computer (Windows 7) at home and a Mac at work. Nothing works, it just beeps and stays in the recovery loop. I've tried everything I can find online- the 5 R's, changing the drive letter, formatting it, disabling antivirus software, etc. None of it works. I can't even boot the iPod into the diagnostics menu.

  • IPod 4th Gen stuck on Apple logo & empty battery sign when plugged in?

    PLEASE HELP! My iPod Touch is water damaged, so I cannot take it to the Apple store (2 hours away anyways), & I don't have any money at the moment to buy a new one. When I charge it to every power source I have, it will start on the empty battery sign, then switch to the Apple logo, then it goes blank & repeats. Please help me, my iPod is my life
