Ipod stuck on dead icon and battery icon.

Alright so I have an ipod that im about to give up on. when i try to turn it on the apple logo will appear and then it will go to the dead ipod icon. If it is plugged into my computer the battery icon will then pop up but it doesn't move, its stuck on being low.( which i have read is a sign that the ipod needs to be charged.) But the thing is ive had it plugged into my computer for at least a couple hours and the same thing keeps happening.
it is also not being recongized by my computer.
when i plug it into the wall adapter it just keeps cycling through the apple logo and the dead ipod logo.
I also can not get it to start up in disk mode.
any advice?
thanks.

well, if this is any help, i have managed to get it into disk mode a few times now and actually be recongized on my computer. but then while trying to restore it is shows an error number 1415.

Ipod stuck on apple icon

i dont know how this happened. my ipod seems frozen and only displays the apple icon. i tried to reset it (toggle hold, then hold down middle and menu button) but it just goes back to the apple logo.
any helpful suggestions?
thanks

Hi oliver john!
Try putting your iPod into disk mode - can you get it into disk mode, past the Apple logo screen?
For instructions on forcing your iPod into disk mode, see this article:
Putting iPod into disk mode
If you can get your iPod into disk mode, then I would now suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes (if it is recognized in iTunes).
For info on restoring an iPod, see this:
Restoring iPod to factory settings

Ipod stuck in restore mode and cannot download new itunes?

latest itunes will not download, previously downloaded but deleted and tried to dowload again after ipod stuck in restore mode?

Start with:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
Then
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

Ipod stuck on apple logo and when i plug in the computer dosent pick it up

My ipod is stuck on the appel logo and when i conect it to my computer it just keeps it on but the computer dosent even notice that its plugegd in nothign happens itunes and my computer show that nothigns plugged in.the only ay to turn on is to connect to computer and when i unplug it just stays on apple logo until it dies.

Mine is doing the same thing. I synced the ipod with the library playlist and once it finished syncing it said 'sync completed' and it looked like it was restarting itself but now it's just frozen on the apple logo. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried restarting it but it keeps freezing up on the apple logo and won't completely reboot!

IPod stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by my computer

Hi, my ipod just today, got stuck on the apple logo and when I held the menu and center button it would reboot and would get stuck again. Also, I tried hooking it to my computer and setting it in disk mode but, both of my new computers don't recognize it. So, I decided to see if I could run diagnostics mode on the ipod by holding the center and rewind button but, I can't even access that for some reason. I seriously need some help here folks.

I have the same problem. Everytime I try to reset it loops back into the apple logo. But the apple logo is different isn't it? The screen is black with the logo white. Isn't the screen supposed to be blank with the apple logo black. I can't remember anymore I've been staring at this screen for days now.
Before it started looping I actually did get to run a diagnostic check. It didn't help though. It would go through everything then try to check the firewire. At that point it would just wait for me to plug in the firewire. Isn't that for older ipods?
At another point I did get it to go into disk mode. But when I would try to restore or update an error message would come up or I would get the folder with the exclamation point. But now all it does is loop into the white apple logo.
Can anyone help?

Ipod stuck on apple icon, computer wont recognize, restarts don't work.

My ipod mini is stuck on the apple icon. Whenever I do the manual reset, the apple dissapears and comes back. My computer won't recognize it, and when I tried to have my ipod sent in to apple to be repaired, it said my serial number is not valid. Help me please.

1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

Ipod 5th gen 30gb

Hello Tyler,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Check out this article that talks about the symbol you are talking about.
iPod displays a sad iPod icon
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1373
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.
If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod is in need of service. Set up an iPod Service Request or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store. To make a reservation:

I'm not getting the "is not recognizable error" It just literally doesn't even exist to my computer, My iPod doesn't even show up in the devises on my computer, BUT WHEN I PLUG IT IN, IT CHARGES? so I'm just really confused, any input would be great. Thanks!

Try:

Ipod Stuck in "boot Loop" and itunes says I'm not connected to the internet.

Aright well I'm having a huge problem fixing my ipod.    Let's start at the beginning, i wanted to put new music onto my ipod but itunes wasn't detecting my ipod, it said i have to restore my ipod to factory settings, so i manually did it from the ipod it's self.   When it started to boot up again it just froze at the apple logo. and the loading wheel is stuck. after some research i found out that its called "boot loop" and the only way to fix this is to restore it from itunes itself.
sounds simple enough, so i go ahead and connect the ipod to itunes and try to restore it (via DFU mode) The restore wont happen because it says im not connected to the Internet, when clearly i am.      So in a nutshell..   in order to restore my ipod.. i need to get itunes to recognize that I'm connected to the Internet.
I've done everything i can think of,   make sure my firewall isn't interfering and itunes is enabled. The Internet proxy is what it needs to be. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.   I actually chatted with a apple tech and he couldn't seem to help me out.
If anyone can help me or has been in this situation and know's exactly what to do.   please let me know.. it would be greatly appericated

That was the first thing I tried..what the site told me, but its still telling me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. Should I just delete everything by hand. Like I said I wanted to take it back and upgrade to the 80 gig ipod.

Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

IPod stuck at Apple screen and computer won't restore iPod

My 80gb Classic is stuck on the Apple screen, and doesn't respond at all. It says to restore my iPod using iTunes, however, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, even though I've updated it.
I've tried restarting my iPod, updating iTunes, and repeated attempts at connecting my iPod. None of the support articles really help, and I've tried all I can think of.

Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...
