My ipod all of a sudden blacked out and now it only shows the apple icon. When i press the on/off or home button it still remains with the apple icon. I tried plugging it to my lap top and going to i tunes but it says there is an error in the device

I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

Try:
- 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.

  • My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...

    My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...
    I feel like there must be an issue with the library location, but I don't know how to correct that.  My Dad recently wiped my computer and deleted Windows XP and installed Windows 7.  I don't know what he did, but my iTunes library is still intact it seems. However, I've added quite a few podcasts that I'd like to sync to my iPod.  When I connect it, it goes through the sync process, but ends quickly and says its safe to disconnect.  None of the new podcasts are on there though.
    Also, there was something really wrong with my iTunes account.  When I went to buy something from the store, it wouldn't accept my password, and when I went to reset it, it wouldn't recognize my birthdate and month (I had the correct username).  I ended up creating a new account and purchasing a song.  This time, it did sync the new song onto my iPod, but not the podcasts I'm trying to sync.
    As far as the library location, is there anything particular that has to be included in that library in order for it to be recognized by iTunes when you sync?  Awhile back (before my Dad worked on my computer), I had changed the folder location to my external hard drive, but in researching, I saw that I still had in another drive some folders with music that is currently on my iPod.  So it looks like I have some stuff on two different drives... Maybe this has something to do with it not syncing right?
    I did check, and my Firewall doesn't have iTunes blocked.
    As you can see, I'm not very experienced with all of this... Sorry for the confusion.  If you are interested in helping me and have any questions, please let me know.
    I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I desperately want to be able to listen to my podcasts, as I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 4 little ones, and the podcasts are kind of an "escape" for me when the children are napping or playing. :-) 
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Oh my goodness!!  I am absolutely thrilled right now B-rock!!  I don't know how I missed it, but when I went back to change the setting like you mentioned, I noticed that the very top box that says "Sync Podcasts" wasn't checked!  I have no idea why... But my heart started to race when I checked that box and all of a sudden it started syncing all my podcasts!!  It's gonna take a long time (I have 385 of them!), but I am just so happy you helped me with this problem.  Thank you SO much!

    I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode.  Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed.  I forget what those tests were called.
    I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

  • I was using my iPad 3 when it suddenly blacked out and it won't turn or start. can anyone please help me fix it?

    I was using my iPad 3 awhile ago when it just blacked out and now it won't start. Can anyone please help me fix it?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro Suddenly will suddenly black out and freeze I can't do anything and I am always forced to force off my mac.

    This always happens to me but recently it's happens more and more. Sometimes When I use it to game or do work or skype it will eventually black out and forze. I always have to hold my power button down to force off my Macbook pro. What is the caused of the proble and will focing off my macbook constantly spoil my mac?

    In very rare cases resetting SMC has solved this problem.

  • Sudden black screen and goes dead

    I had a similar version of this problem 2 days ago but after lots of button pushing, etc. it started working again but the problem has returned.
    My PowerBook suddenly, without warning, flicks to a black screen and the motor shuts down immediately. There's no winding down in sound, it simply stops on a dime. The only way to get it running again is to reset the power manager. I get it up and running for a few minutes and then again, without warning, goes black and dead at the same time. Also, if I get it up and running for a few minutes and shut the lid, when I open it again the screen looks normal but within 15-20 it does the black dead thing.
    I've reset the power manager. I've run a repair permissions with the CD and utility disk. I've also repaired disk using the CD and utility disk. I did a hardware check. All of these have never said there was a problem in the first place. I've reset the PRAM.
    Are there any other suggestions? I need this laptop for a swim banquet this Sunday.
    I dread the thought of doing a clean install. The last time I did that it took me all day to get things back to normal. Would a clean install help in this situation? Could someone get me the steps to do the easiest install.....I think I must have clicked the wrong way before and that is why it took a long time to get things back to normal.
    Thanks so much in advance.

    I have posted this question under Powerbook and with no responses at all. I saw where a similar question to this was asked on this forum before with several people helping that maybe I would have more luck here.
    I appreciate any and all help. You guys are wonderful.
