Ipod only shows apple symbol

My 3rd generation ipod was recently restored by the apple store to test for battery failure. When I brought it home and tried to connect it to the computer to transfer all my songs back on it, I got a messege saying that it had to be reformated for windows. After clicking ok, it was not recognized and from then on the only thing i see on my ipod is the apple symbol. Any button i press doesn't do anything. I've also tried resetting several times but with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated

I have the same issue. I went to the Apple store and they have tried re setting it 2 times but this issue keeps coming back. The First time they reset it I was able to connect it to my PC and update then synch it but I have yet to be able to use it. I bought the Apple care service agreement but of course this started happening 3 weeks after the warranty expired.
When I called Apple care they said I could send it in for $255 and have it looked at. This seems a bit ridiculous because you can buy a new one for $300.
Can any one offer any help?

My ipod only shows a spinning wheel and a apple and wont respond to any of the buttons to see what may be on it,it was a gift..

Try:

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

5th generation Ipod only shows apple logo, lights up, and restarts.

The iPod is stuck restarting and showing the apple logo. When I try to restore iPod, says "can't mount Ipod", already tried the Five R's. and I tried charging the battery to see if that was the problem, did not work. Computer sometimes recognizes ipod, but only in Disk mode.

Hi. try...
1. Deinstalling all iTunes / quicktime / updater. Reboot the PC and install all the software from the CD again. Then try a RESTORE.... if that doesn't work.
2. If you have access to another PC try the restore from there.... if that doesn't work.
3. Contact Apple for a replacement.
You'll find a few hits on the forum that talk about the ipod being formatted for Mac use and you have to restore to get it into a windows format. I had a replacement and info came with it from apple with this info.
I had a problem with restoring, along the lines of 'disk write error / firmware error, which I eventually fixed by installing the Belkin USB card. Once I was sure the ipod was working OK I tried installing the software and restoring on a few different PC's that I have access to. Unfortunately results were pretty inconclusive as to configs that worked / didn't work.

80g video ipod only shows apple logo and makes loud clicking noises

I've had my ipod 80g for a little over two years, with few incidents, and it's about 50 g full. When I most recently connected it to my computer, it started making these loud whirring and clicking noises and the apple logo is all that shows. I know the ipods can't be expected to last more than a few years (or so I'm told) so my question is what to do. Should I take it into the apple store and have the hard drive totally wiped of all my music, should I try some alternative fix (this strange business card opening the ipod technique, for instance?), or is there something else I should try? Is an ipod in this stage even salvagable? Thanks!

i have the EXACT same problem. Whenever i add new files and try to play them the clicking noise is LOUD and it does not stop for a good 10 seconds nad my IPOD begins to shake...
i would like to know the answer as well

What to do?? My iPod only shows apple logo and does nothing else!

ive had this problem before..if you hold down both the menu button and the center button at the same time until it shuts off, it will restart. try that and see if you can fix it.

Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo

My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo. It wont connect to iTunes, and charging doen't work. HELP PLEASE!

Try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes dark for a moment, then the Apple boot logo should reappear. If it doesn't work, it's broken, take it to the Apple store or another authorized repair service.

Ipod touch only shows apple

I did the update for my ipod touch and it showed the itunes with the usb. i plugged into itunes and it said it needed to restore it. I waited for the restore and an error came up on my computer. I am running the latest itunes and admin on my computer.....now my ipod only shows an apple with a black screen. I can hold down power and home and get apple to go away and reapear but nothing else...
HELP

You can try to put it on Recovery mode then restore it..
Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
Screen goes black, now release the power button
Make sure you do not release the Home key until
your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
in recovery mode."
After this its simple all you
got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

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."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
