  • Can't get ipod classic 80GB into disk mode

    I have tried and tried to get this 80GB ipod into disk mode by pushing the select/menu until it restarts and the select/pp buttons. It keeps going back to the red x. please help.

    Is it possible my IPOD is defective?
    Probably not, but it's more than likely that the docking station either isn't compatible with the Classic or the cables supplied with it aren't.
    Does it specifically say the Dynex is Classic compatible?

  • Wont go into disk mode

    I have the Ipod Nano 6th Generation.
    The other day I went to power up the ipod and it would not switch on.
    Eventually I got just a white screen and this is all it does.
    I have done a restore through I Tunes and this has not done anything.
    Also when holding down the sleep wake button and the - button the screen will go from black to white or white to black and when I tryto go into disk mode nothing happens.
    Has anyone got any other ideas please.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Ipod rarely goes into disk mode

    Hi. I have followed the steps to get my ipod into disk mode, because I am getting an ipod picture with a frown. Only rarely does it actually go into disk mode. I have toyed with it being plugged into my computer, into the wall, and not plugged in at all, but i cant get my ipod to get back into disk mode. What would be the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks alot

    I am still at a loss and my ipod still doesnt work. does anyone know how to fix this?!

  • What causes ipod to go into disk mode

    I have an older ipod nano and out of the blue for no reason the other day when i picked it up it said something about how i needed to use itunes to restore. When i plug the ipod into itunes in says something about corrupted files and the ipod needs to be restored to factory settings. Now, i have read a lot about ways to try to salvage this but resetting etc. and when i do this i get a check mark that says "okay to disconnect" and above it it says "disk mode" But what causes this in the first place? I never plugged it into a computer and ejected it improperly. One day it works fine and the next it doesnt and im going to have to lose all my music because of it! So again, what exactly causes this to happen? Is it something i may have done or just a flaw in the device?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Yeah, I've had this happen to me too. Unfortuantely its just one f the many joys of owning an ipod/apple product. I'm not exatcly sure WHAT causes this to happen, but if you hold down the center and menu button down at the same time, the disk mode screen should turn off; and, depending if your ipod is charge or not, pressing the play/pause button should turn on your ipod on normaly.                  Hope this helped for being so late.

  • How to put IPOD Shuffle I into Disk Mode ?

    How to put Ipod Shuffle I into diskmode ?

    When connected, in iTunes click on shuffle icon in Devices, then click on Settings tab. Scroll down and click the square in front of "Enable disk use", the adjust slider for amount of flash memory to reserve for data. Click Apply, and you're done!
    When you use iPod shuffle as a disk, the status light on the front of iPod shuffle blinks orange continuously, and the iPod shuffle disk icon appears on the desktop on the Mac, or as the next available drive letter in Windows Explorer on a Windows PC. Drag files to and from iPod shuffle to copy them.
    Ejecting iPod shuffle Important: If the iPod shuffle status light is blinking orange, you must eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it from your computer. If you don’t eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it, you could damage files on iPod shuffle.
    To eject iPod shuffle:
    Click the Eject (C ) button next to iPod shuffle in the iTunes Source list. If you’re using a Mac, you can also eject iPod shuffle by dragging the iPod shuffle icon on the desktop to the Trash.
    If you’re using a Windows PC, you can eject iPod shuffle by clicking the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray and selecting your iPod shuffle.

  • Is it Dead?  ipod mini goes into disk mode, but will not reset  or restore

    and is not recognized by the computer (Vista) or by iTunes. I have also tried to connect it to different usb ports and to different computers (3). Same result with all of them.
    Before the problems, I had attempted to install compact flash (adapter with 8gb micro sd memory card).
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Again, this is a problem with the Logic Board. When something metallic or conductive (screwdriver/watch/finger) shorts two components on the board. I can sort this out for you, if you don't feel confident doing the repair yourself.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • IPod classic 5th gen. with sad face goes into disk mode but wont register in itunes

    I have an iPod classic 5th gen. A while ago it stopped working and the sad faced iPod started showing up. i've tried putting it into disk mode but when i do it wont pop up into itunes like it should and as soon as i unplug it the sad face appears again. is there anyway to fix it or is it done?

    There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. You may find it useful.
    The Sad iPod/folder and ! icon.
    Btw, there's no such thing as a "4th generation 20gb classic." Your iPod is a 4th gen and not an iPod classic which is a completely different model.

  • Ipod goes into disk mode HELP!!

    my 30 GB ipod gets stuck and wont start, when i reset it, it goes into disk mode and gets stuck there, wont reset wont turn off its dead until the battery runs out. The computer doesn't recognize it until its battery is completely gone and I have charged it on the wall charger for a while! HELLPPPP!! My Ipod is brand New and i have restored it twice already, once it even got stuck on a song and didnt fix until batery was dead.

    with your iPod connecting with an ac charger or a computer, press "select"+"menu" keys until you see the apple logo, it may takes a minute and also try to do a few attempts.

  • IPod Classic will not turn on, refuses to go into disk mode.

    Hello Apple Community.
    Last night I went out to a party, and while I was asleep, some questionable so-and-so poured alcohol on me, and this alcohol got all over my pants, and subsequently, the iPod.
    I am using a 160GB White iPod Classic, and I have never had this problem with it before.
    When i attempt to turn it on, I am shown the Apple logo for a moment, then a big red X with a circle telling me to come here.
    I tried the steps for fixing the (X), but I can't even put it into disk mode.
    The iPod makes an uncomfortable groaning noise, with some occassional clicking when I turn it on, and my younger brother in his infinite wisdom thought smacking it would be a good idea, especially since I told him that would not help in the least.
    It hasn't made the noise again, but it still won't work or go into disk mode.
    My question is in 2 parts;
    1.) Is there any way I myself can fix my iPod? (i.e. Hair-drying it, formatting it etc.)
    2.) If not, will Apple replace the hard drive inside, or the iPod itself in it for free?*
    *The iPod was given to me as a gift Xmas 2011, purchased in August of 2011.
    The site says it is still under warranty, but I want to know if this moron's action have voided that.
    I have all the original packaging (and accessories), minus the receipt.
    One last note; My care for the files on the ipod is literally zero, I have them all on my PC and don't care if they get erased, as long as I can fix this darned device.
    Thanks in advance.

    There is nothing, I can suggest except for what your brother did, which doesn't work.
    Do bring it in to Apple Store and let them have a look, no harm in trying.
    Good Luck!

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • IPod Nano 5th Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo, won't go into disk mode and won't connect to computer.

    My iPod Nano 5th Generation won't turn on; I've held down "Menu" and the center button which makes the Apple logo come up, then it just stays on that. I've followed steps I've seen on here trying to get it into disk mode by holding down the "Play/Pause" button and the center button immediately after the Apple Logo appears but it doesn't respond to that at all. I've charged it and upgraded my iTunes but nothing seems to do anything to it. When I plug it into my computer there is nothing to say it's plugged in on iTunes or My computer or anything. It's driving me crazy and I'm hoping there's a way I can fix it without it having to be sent off.
    Any advice would be cracking!
    Thanks,
    Tilda

    Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem and can't figure it out.
