My iPod Classic Is Stuck In Disk Mode.. Help?

Hiya! My iPod Classic Is Stuck in disk mode, and I tried the hard reset and EVERYTHING, and it still doesn't work. When I connect it to my computer (Windows) It doesn't show up in iTunes, Or on the "My Computer" area. Any Help?

When you did a hard reset on your iPod, what do you see on the screen?

  • Ipod classic 120 stuck in disk mode, not recognized by windows or itunes

    so ive been havin tons of problems with my new ipod 120 classic
    first one day when i plugged it in it told me it was corrupted and needed to be restored
    then it would not restore
    i formated it with windows but that didnt seem to do anything
    the other night somehow i got it to the point of naming my ipod but after that, it stopped working again
    for a while i couldnt even put it into disk mode
    now, when it is plugged into the computer it is stuck in disk mode, yet not recognized by the computer or itunes
    it makes the sound when i plug it in but never shows up
    also, when its not plugged in, it starts up and just brings me to a screen that says use itunes to restore. but then i plug it in and it goes right to disk mode and do not connect, and isnt recognized
    when i unplug it i can see it pop up on my computer for that one second i unplug it
    ive tried this on a number of computers and it does the same thing
    when i unplug it from being plugged into the computer it just sits in diskmode saying ok to connect
    if i reset it by pressing center and menu, it just goes back to the use itunes to restore screen
    i cant get it to enter diagnostic mode, and when i hit center and play after center and menu it does nothing either
    ive just about had it with ipods
    this is my 3rd or 4th classic that i have had problems with
    apple should be ashamed of themselves for such a buggy product for so much money, and very very crappy service
    any help greatly appreciated....but im prety sure ill be moving onto another product after this
    luckily i am still under warranty so they offered for me to send it in....but then i am without music for about a week
    i feel i should be compensated for that alone, aside from just fixing it for me
    please help me fix this so i can get back to some tunes!
    thanks for any info

    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • My iPod Classic is stuck in disk mode, won't charge on a wall mount, iTunes won't recognize it, and it got this way from me trying to restore it like it said. What do I do now?

    So, I tried to restore my iPod to the factory settings via iTunes. It has been a few days now and its still stuck in disk mode telling me "Do Not Disconnect" and it only charges on my laptop. I tried hooking it up to a wall mount to charge and than it told me that I need to use iTunes to restore it. Here's the thing, it won't leave disk mode and its not registering on my iTunes. What can I do to get it back to normal,
    Oh yeah, all of the latest updates for my software and iTunes are current.

    Mee too!
    That's my SMART DATA results:

    I also tried to restore it in the DFU mode, but still rebboting in disk mode!!!

  • Ipod classic 120gb stuck in disk mode

    i have a ipod classic 120gb and im having issues with it. i am unable to get it out of disk mode, my computer and itunes will not recognize it. ive tried all the steps ive seen in the forums still no luck. ive tried other usb port and other computers with no luck. it is almost 4 yrs old so warranty and other options are expired. does anyone have any suggestions?

    That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • HT1320 iPod nano is stuck in Disk Mode.  How do I reset it?

    iPod nano is stuck in Disk Mode and menu wheel is unresponsive.  How do I reset without losing data on iPod?

    Hello jarhead232.
    To try and resolve this issue, please unplug the power from the unit for about 25-30 minutes.  Once this time frame has passed, plug the unit in directly to a wall outlet to see if the printer will power on.

  • My ipod classic is stuck in diagnostic mode and will not reset. Please help.

    I turned on my iPod classic & it started in Diagnostic mode.  I worked my way through the various tests and press this/press that instructions and now it is stuck.
    I can't turn it off or reset it.
    I am unable to connect it to my PC at the moment and need help so that I can use it.
    I miss my music.

    How did you try and reset the iPod?  By pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons togehter long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    What happens if you connect it to iTunes?
    If nothing else, let the battery fully drain and then charge it up.

  • IPod classic won't go Disk Mode

    My iPod classic has a red cross and won't go to Disk Mode. Does this means my iPod died and I need to buy a new one?

    Charge it up fully. Toggle the hold switch. Try getting into diagnostics mode again. See Corrupt iPod classic.

  • Ipod Classic 80gB Stuck In recovery mode - PlZ PLZ PZ PLZ HELP!!!!!

    Please anyone,
    I searched the internet and didn't find anything, i just got the ipod, i don't know what to do. I just cant restore and update my ipod and i never could before (errors 1415 and 1418) . but now i only have the option to restore since my ipod is stuck on recovery mode. and now the ipod is useless until i fix it. so please help
    Apple is very disappointing, they have no problem charging high prices but they dont give the support needed to the customers. the ipod is buggy and it had problems since i got it(yesterday)

    You can ring them up but be aware that if you haven't got AppleCare and you've had your iPod for more than 90 days you'll be charged for technical support. You only receive one complimentary support incident, which must be used within the first 90 days of product ownership: Contact Apple Support
    If you have an Apple store near to you, you can take it there and have them look at it. You can make an appointment by using this link: Genius Bar Reservations

  • IPod Nano stuck in DISK MODE - HELP!

    How do I get my iPod Nano out of DISK MODE?
    When I went to turn it on it was in DISK MODE. How did it get set to DISK MODE?
    Thank you.

    Thank you, it worked just fine. I guess Apple has replaced operating instructions for these forums! Again, thanks for the help.

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode, help?

    A few hours ago, I tried updating my 5th generation iPod touch to iOS 8. It ran into an error and couldn't update, which left my iPod touch stuck in recovery mode with a screen showing a USB cord pointing to an iTunes symbol. I tried searching for ways to get my iPod out of recovery mode without restoring it to its factory settings, but after a couple hours of seeking, I decided I might as well just restore it. I clicked the restore button, and when it finished, it said that my iPod touch couldn't be restored either. Now, I have no clue what to do. May I have some help?

    That error is covered here:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    If iTunes can’t communicate with the update server, you may see one of these messages.
    Error 17
    Error 1639
    Errors 3000-3020
    Error 3194
