Ipod unable to reset.

i have an 80GB and my computer wasn't recognizing it so i unplugged it from the usb drive and reset it. since doing so, the apple symbol appears and stays for a few seconds before the screen goes black. it does this continuously, making a noticeable noise when it can't start. if anyone could help, that would be great. i have a feeling i need to send it in to apple but i'd like to avoid that if possible.

Have you tried resetting the iPod again? Although, if your iPod is making some unusual noises, that's not really a good sign... you shouldn't be able to hear the hard drive working. If resetting it doesn't do the trick, you might try seeing if you can get the iPod to enter disk mode, and restore the iPod:
Ensure the HOLD switch is OFF so that there is NO orange color showing beneath the switch. Then, press and hold the MENU and the SELECT (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, IMMEDIATELY press and hold the SELECT (center) and the PLAY/PAUSE buttons together until you see a check mark, and the iPod says "Disk Mode, OK to Disconnect."
Connect the iPod to the computer, and if iTunes recognizes it, try to restore it.

  • Ipod: Unable to reset or restore

    My Ipod (click wheel) will not reset or restore. The apple logo appears on the Ipod screen, followed by the file with an exclamation point. I have tried to use Ipod updater without success. The Ipod does not register that it is charging either when plugged into the power adapter or the Mac using the USB cable. The Ipod is not recognized by Itunes either. After the latest attempt to reset and restore, the Ipod made whizzing noises like it was attempting to continuously restart. It finally stopped. The Ipod is more than a year old and out of warrantee. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having a similar problem with my Click Wheel iPod. It would reset when plugged into the wall, but would not restore. It kept causing both My Computer and Updater 11-27-2005 to crash. I assumed the problem was with iTunes 6, which I recently downloaded, but I took my iPod to a Mac Store anyway to see if they could do anything with it at the Genius Bar. The guy behind the bar was very helpful; he restored my iPod in about 2 minutes, I took it home, re-imported all my music, and it's been fine ever since.
    My iPod is about 1.5 years old, and although I purchased the iPod AppleCare extended service plan, the Genius Bar guy didn't ask me anything about my iPod's warranty status. Didn't ask to see a receipt or anything. He just helped me out and sent me on my way. So I'd suggest taking your iPod in and seeing if they can restore it for you. You may find that being out of warranty isn't an obstacle. It's worth a shot.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod is locked. Unable to reset or restore

    I have tried every known way to get my 3rd Gen 64GB iPod Touch to reset or restore. I cannot get past the Apple symbol. Short of mailing it to Apple is there anything else I can try. It was purchased in Dec. 2009 so I am still within my 1-year warranty. I have recharged and discharged, etc.

    The same thing happened to my son's IPOD touch after screen cleared. He also has a password, which we can't get to/enter because we can't get that far. It won't reset, it's fully charged, but right now .... is simply a paperweight. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation , blank screen when attached to computer, ipod will not reset??? any help please?

    Hi there,
    I have just purchased a 2nd hand ipod nano 3rd gen.  When I received it the screen was in working order but everything from the previous owner had been wiped.  I attatched to computer and all seemed well, attached it then to itunes and at first it seemed to go ok, however screen then went blank and froze.
    I am now unable to restart ipod.  ipos is still being recognised by itunes so I tried to restart ipod whielst attatched to itunes to to try and put into play mode but still no joy, no apple appearing on screen.
    Ipod was fully charged.
    Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
    Kind Regards
    Lindsey

    How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • Unable to reset or add new email addresses on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-one N911n

    Unable to reset or add new email addresses on my HP Office jet J4680

    Hi johndavis196,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you are trying to add new email addresses to your Officejet J4680 printer.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)? The Officejet J4680 supports all three methods.
    What operating system are you using on your computer (Windows 7, Mac 10.8, or Windows 8, etc)?
    Where are you trying to update the email addresses?
    Are you encountering any error messages? If yes, what is the error message and where is it displayed (printer or computer)?
    What steps are you taking before you are stopped?
    Thank you.

  • HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server.  Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

    I am trying to set up  my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings.  So I am trying to sign in using an apple id.  It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

    Hello Aditi,
    In AS Java 7.1 and higher you go to short link /nwa and navigate
    to Configuration -> Infrastructure -> Java System Properties – Switch to
    application tab in second section (Details about <InstanceName>) ->
    search for tc~idm~jmx~app.
    For 7.0 you have to do that in Visual Admin but I would need to read docu to know where it is too.
    But you can find that all in UI installation guide http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001233082010E

    My ipod mini fell too the other day in school. I picked it up and the screen was blank. I've tried to reset it and I've hooked it up to the computer. Itunes wont come up and it has the battery icon less than half full. But when I charge my ipod to the wall or on my radio, press the button down for 10-15 seconds, the screen lights up and it works normally. I just got it fixed almost year ago when this exact thing happened, and i the warrenty is done. so someone please reply this with the solution. i don't feel like buying a new ipod, i rather just pay 70 dollars to send it in and get it fixed.
