Ipod Video starts with apple icon, shows folder with warning sign and stops

My Dad's Ipod video, bought just yesterday was taken from the box, I connected it to my computer to download the songs from my itunes to it for him but My brother for some reason clicked and held the middle key and menu key at same time there fore resetting it. It should have done nothing and been fine but now when i try to turn it on it shows the apple icon then the warning sign with folder icon and then powers down. Its fully charged, I tried restoring software, and setting it to disk mode doesnt help its still acting up.
Please help me if you know how to fix this i want to fix it before he notices. Also is tehre a specific way to get out of disk mode? PLEASE HELP!

You need to re-format the hard drive on the iPod. Not knowing which generation it is, I'll assume you're using USB. The procudure goes like this: first un-install both iTunes and any updater software you may have. Download the latest updater and run it first. Hopefully, the computer will recognize the iPod and you can proceed to re-format the iPod using the updater. Once that is done, disconnect the iPod. Now,install iTunes. Re-connect the iPod and iTunes will give the option of either synching automatically at that moment or not synching at all.

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

  • Ipod Video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio

    My ipod video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio.  I can hear the clicking of the wheel and selections made through the headphones, but I cannot get music, video, etc. to play audio.  I did the 5 R's and installed a new headphone jack prior to posting here.  I am all out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you connect it to an iPod Dock Stereo to check if there is music, coming out, if not the Hard Reset would solve your problem or else the Audio chip has called it a day.
    I know you mentioned doing the 5Rs, but did you see the Apple Logo and the language prompt? Sorry, most of the users here, doesn't do the Hard Reset correctly.
    Try the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the button
    Select your preferred language.
    This wont delete or erase any song/data on your iPod Classic.
    See this Apple Support Article on 5Rs

  • We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's IPOD is syncing with my library and I need to change this, but I can't figure out how.

    We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's iPOD is syncing with my library and we really want to go to just one library--Mine for ease and we can't figure out how to do it.  Please help!!!

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.
    Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

    Keep in mind that I am using it with the newer models of that model. (Mine had an iPod nano compatible sticker on it and came with a remote). I would imagine that it works fine with the older model of that one as well.
    But yes, if you are talking about the iH5, it works :)

  • Does iPod Video come with a CD???

    I'm just wondering if the iPod video comes with a CD or not because I'm having a lot of problems that I'm thinking a CD should cover. Anyone have the same problem?

    When I got my iPod Video last year, it contained an iTunes install CD inside it.
    I'm guessing if they still contain CDs, it would only contain iTunes.
    Use the discussion groups or the Support articles for help.
    Hope you find what you're looking for!

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

    I found the following comment the other day that goes some way to explaining why iChat might have problems with some NAT routers:
    http://www.technologyevangelist.com/2007/02/ichatav_the_bestun.html#comment-53326
    While it doesn't offer any solutions it might be worth firing off some iChat feedback to Apple referencing it. It seems like it might be a trivial bug for Apple to fix and could well alleviate many of the problems people are having.
    In the mean time if your router is one that has SIP ALG you could try disabling it and forwarding all relevant ports to your machine.

  • Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

    That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I have inserted a mini cd in my Mac Book Pro and cannot eject it. I have tried re-starting with F12 depressed and re-starting with the mouse pad depressed.

    I have inserted a mini cd in my cd drive but the drive did not detect it; I am unable to eject the cd. I have tried re-starting with F12 depressed and also re-starting with the mouse pad depressed.
    I am in a country where I belive there is no Apple support - Azerbaijan.
    Apart from a tin opener, any other methods for extracting the mini cd.
    I only found out that mini cds are not suitable after inserting this one and then reading 2 help manuals!!!

    Take it to a place that repairs computers if you're not close to any apple authorized dealer.
    You user guide clearly states that you can not use smaller CDs in your Macbook.
    Lesson learned.  Hopefully a repair shop can get it out for you.
    Do not try to take it out yourself.  You might cause more damage than good to your macbook.
    Good luck.
