My ipod classic wont progress past apple logo

I currently have an ipod classic 20gb, for quite some time it hasn't been working correctly, it just will not progress past the apple logo screen, I keep resetting it as per the trouble shooting, all I keep getting is, the folder with the ! mark by it saying www.apple.com/support, been onto there and its saying do the steps i've already done, i've literally tried everything, what would you surgest?
thanks

Hopefully you have charged it for at least 2 hours.
I'm not too sure if this will work for your old model, which is earlier than 5th Gen.
Try the DiskDiagnostic as posted by tt2, once you get the Apple logo screen, move your finger on the Menu button to the rewind button |<<

Anyway, it is  a troubleshooting step and does not fix your problem.

    I have a 2nd gen itouch that wont go past apple logo. I did a reset and restore as suggested by some posts but still not working. Itunes can detect the ipod but I cannot do anything with it. Please help. many thanks.

    - Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore.  For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode.

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Ipod Classic 80gb Freezes on Apple Logo

    I have an Ipod classic 80gb. When I plug my Ipod into my computer the Ipod freezes on the Apple logo on screen. The only way to get it back is to go into disk mode and then restore the ipod on itunes but it doesn't fix it permanently. As soon as I plug it back in or it resets it does the same thing. If i leave it unplugged for a while then it will come back on like a reset ipod asking to select language and it is then a factory reset ipod with nothing on it. When I plug it back in so i can upload songs it does the same thing again. Please help

    The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
    Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
    So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

  • My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

    earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did.  In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds.  If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it.  I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change.  All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

    I have a similar problem, when I start my MacBook (I bought it early 2009 and runs Mountain Lion) it gives me the option to select the user but even when the cursor moves I am not able to select any user to go on. So I am not able to log in. And my DVD drive doesn't work (this problem is not new).
    So if you find and answer, please let me know.
    Thanks and good luck.

  • My phone wont go past apple logo!!

    I had my phone on the couch and i went away and came back, and realized that it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on but it wouldnt go past the apple logo, i went to AT&T and the tech said it had water damage, and the water sensor was pink, but i dunno how it got water damage sitting on the couch plugged into my laptop.. Is there anything i can do to fix it?? Even my laptop or iTunes cant pick it up. Any ideas?

    Just go into DFU mode by pressing the sleep and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds or until your screen is black and after you do that yo keep pressing the home button.
    (Before you press anything connect iphone to computer with itunes open it wont recognize it until you are in DFU)
    After you are in DFU; in itunes press restore(this will delete all your data)
    hope it works

  • My 160 g ipod classic wont synk past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011)

    my 160 g ipod classic will not sync past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011) i have formated it with windows and restored it several times nothing works should i toss it and buy a new one or is it me doing somthing wrong

    Thanks everyone, lots of good suggestions here.
    I did briefly consider trying the idea of grouping smaller loads of playlists to upload, but I also noticed that each time I ejected then re-synched the iPod a few more gigs of music would upload.
    So I just kept at it until most (nearly all) of my music made it onto the thing.
    This seems like a really rudimentary thing for Apple to fix - but more fundamentally, this shouldn't happen at ALL. When they market a new product, having such a basic issue plague it seems very Microsoft-like.
    Up to this point I've never been disappointed with anything Apple has ever done.
    This issue is purely and simply bad design and slipshod programming. I hope they fix it in the extremely near future.
    Thanks again for all your help and suggestions guys!
    Cheers

  • Ipod classic wont get past error screen

    Have tried resetting numerous times, have tried putting it in disk mode(doesnt allow me to, just shows error screen) Basically it will reach the apple logo then go a screen with a x and it says to go to apple.com for support.

    I have the same problem. I have not seen a posting for resolving, short of calling apple. Cannot get past "X" on the screen telling you to contact Apple.
