Ipod red cross sign - estimated service time

hello,
yesterday my ipod 80gb classic stop playing music, after restart it shows apple logo and then red cross sign -> apple.com/support
i tried to start it in disk mode, but without success the same red cross and clicks inside. I suspect my disk is dead.
If I bring it to apple store support how long it will take to fix it?
thank you,
denis

Ok researched online and managed to get it in Diagnostics mode.
Ran a test on HDD Specs and HD Smart Data - both resulted in "Error! Diag Halt" flashing across the bottom of the screen.

  • New 80GB ipod - red cross with support website

    Hi
    I was connecting my new ipod (only 3 weeks old) to my macbook leopard when suddenly a red cross symbol came up on the screen with the address of the mac support website at the bottom. I went to the website and it suggested I put it in disk mode. The apple sign came up as described - but straight after I toggled the hold button not roughly six seconds after holding the select and menu button as it suggested. Next when I tried to switch 'immediately' to the select and play button, it returns to the red cross with the web address - not to the disk mode screen.
    I have tried holding them down for different lengths of time, swapping quicker and faster etc but no change. If I repeat holding the select and menu buttons then the apple symbol goes away momentarily and comes back.
    Im on holiday at the moment - so if theres nothing to do but send it off to be fixed then it means Im without my ipod for the long traveling hours - the reason I bought it when I did - only 3 weeks ago - I hadnt expected it to break so soon. I also have a macbook and before that had an ibook and they both had early problems. I am always conflicted with apple - they make the best most advanced and creative products but they are always flawed and undurable - quick to break and succumb to errors. I am starting to think that I may just slum it out with pc in future - it may be better in the long term.
    Ironically enough Im not even sure if I kept the HMV receipt at home = I really should have learned after past experiences with apple products. If anyone could save me the hassle and money of paying for repair (if I cant find the proof of purchase) by suggesting another way to fix it for the rest of my journey - I would really appreciate it!
    THANKS :)*

  • TS1382 My ipod won't reset, tried ALL the steps several times. The 'red cross' always appears, any suggestions?

    I have tried to restore this to disc mode as suggested in the apple help section but it doesn't work.
    The red cross inside a red circle, with the apple web address at the bottom, keeps returning.
    Anything else I can try, or is it a costly repair shop I need?

    That symbol,
    is also known as the Fatal Red X, which mean that your iPod Hardisk is dying, cannot be booted up or dead. There is nothing much  we can suggest here except read this Apple support Article or  to send your iPod in to Apple Store or any 3rd Party iPod Repair vendor, for a replacement.

    Hello theplantman5,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod only shows a circle and cross (or x) screen after resetting or restoring it, try placing it in Disk Mode and restoring it.
    Restore iPod from Disk Mode
    Disconnect iPod from your computer.
    Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
    Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
    Restore iPod.
    If these steps don't work, or you've already completed them, your iPod may need service:
    Setup Service for iPod
    If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.

  • When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

    I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
    Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

    You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • My iPod Nano (fourth generation) is stuck on a black screen and will not charge. It's done this before and you can still see a faint outline of the green charging sign and the time/date. HELP

    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 bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.
