My Ipod has gone mental!!

The other day i had to copy some music off my ipod onto a computer that does not have itunes, so i accessed the files throught realplayer, everything was going fine until i started burning a cd and my computer crashed. In the end i switched the computer off at the mains, and unplugged my ipod.
Ever since i unplugged it the apple sign has been appearing, a whirring noise sounds, it goes blank and then the sign appears again and the sequence starts over. After about half an hour it will stop and the screen will go back however if u try resetting it starts up again doing its strange apple-logo flashing sequence.
I've tried charging it and plugging it into the computer, however it is not recognised... I've left it be for three days now... no change.
What should I do???

    Have you tried restarting it? (Holding down the Menu and the Center button until the Apple Logo comes on the screen - usually about 10 seconds).

  • The screen of my iPod has gone all red.

    The screen of my iPod has gone all red and the whites have become blue rain like thing. Its one and a half year old iPad. Really disappointed

    "Not to my knowledge."
    Hmmm. Are you being completely open with us?
    If it was dropped by friend or family, other threads here on this phenomemna indicate slapping it on the back a couple of times with increasing intensity caused the screen to return to normal....but no comment on how long it remained normal. Do a search on this forum for "red screen."
    If you can state with certainty that it was not dropped, and if it is still under extended warranty, and if the Apple store believes you, they may give you a rebuilt one.

  • My IPod has gone quiet and part of the screen doesn't show anymore.

    My purse fell with my IPod in it yesterday and now most of the screen has gone blank although the backlight covers the whole screen. I can scroll down and choose songs, which do come up, but they don't actually play. So that means the sound is shot too.
    It is just the middle 2 1/2 lines that show. No battery icon and no track progress line. I have tried resetting it and plugging it in, but that does not work.
    I have AppleCare and am thinking of taking it in to a local service provider from the list on this site, but am not sure if that will work.
    It was originally bought in December 2004 and already replaced once at the end of 2005 because of battery issues. The AppleCare was purchased just after that.
    Will it still be possible, do you think, to get it repaired or replaced again?

  • My computer fan has gone mental

    Hi guys
    I have a HP PAVILLION G6 NOTEBOOK running on windows 8.1 64bit. Literally a week after buying my computer the fan has gone absolutely mental. I have uninstalled software, cleaned, installed software to slow the fans but it sounds like a plane waiting to
    take off.
    In fact its now embarrassing as when I take my comp outside the whole world hears it.
    Can someone please help me. I will upload screenshots of whatever you need to help me solve this problem as I am now at my wits end
    P.S as i write this my cpu is at 98 degrees, gpu the same and hdd at 47degrees. 

    Did you reinstall your OS? I suggest to reinstall everything back to the factory condition since this PC new to eliminate OS, SW and setting issue
    Did you upgrade your OS from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1?
    what kind of software that you mention "I have uninstalled software, cleaned, installed software to slow the fans but it sounds like a plane waiting to take off" ?
    or just go to BIOS and reset BIOS, if always like this, I suspected this hardware issue.

  • So, I'm assuming my iPod has gone up to that big motherboard in the sky.

    I own a 3G 30GB iPod that's served me dutifully for the last three or so years, and tonight I'm findind that it's giving me issues.
    First of all, the iPod will be stuck at the black apple bootup logo for 5 to 10 minutes, much longer than the normal 1 minute. When it finally does get to the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, it will mount on my desktop, but accessing it via finder only yields the lovely "spinning pinwheel". iTunes, also, does not respond while the iPod is plugged in, even though iTunes recognizes it's plugged in.
    It seems that iTunes will recognize the iPod, prompt me to install an update, and then leave the iPod mounted in the finder but not in iTunes. All in all it seems to take 20-30 minutes for it to mount, ask for the update, and then unmount.
    It does not restart on it's own. I have to manually unplug it for it to restart. When doing so, the finder and iTunes become responsive once again. After the iPod boots up with the little progress meter seen after an update, it will cycle back to the black apple, where it will stay there for 5-10 minutes, and then the process will start over.
    Sometimes, the iPod will start it's automated disk check. After doing this for about 30 minutes, I'll get a "check", which I assume means "all okay", and then the iPod will restart, starting this whole dang cycle over again.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried restoring the iPod by pressing and holding the play/pause button and the select button for 10 seconds?
    Have you tried the 5 R's?
    (see Apple Support site for article)
    Have you tried enabling it for disk use and taking it out of it again to try to 'wake the system up'?
    If you have tried all of these then I am sorry to tell you that your iPod has flatlined...
    You will want to put it back in its' cube and put it aside so you can remember your good times with it.
    (I have just gone through the same situation)

  • SOS my ipod has gone useless

    Hi, I have an 80gb Ipod classic and recently it started pausing and skipping songs randomly, i took it to the only Istore available in Peru and they said that since it was out of warranty (by 26 days!) they couldn't touch it but that I should try repairing it. So I downloaded the latest itunes and repaired the ipod and now it cannot sync with my library, it starts copying the songs and about halfway through it freezes and delivers an error message and when i eject the ipod its empty. sometimes itunes even gives me a message that it cannot read the ipod and that i should restore it again. I've done that several times and still no result!!
    Help me please... I love my ipod... =(

  • My iPod has gone crazy

    I recently received a new iPod from Apple that because my old wasn't working. This one has been having problems too. At first, it would sometimes start to skip songs, (with a little rewind symbol constantly in the corner where the play symbol was supposed to go) and I had to run the battery down and recharge it to get it to go away.
    Then it stopped playing any songs, it would just go to the next song on the album without playing any one. Then when I let the battery run down, it was frozen on the Apple icon when I recharged it with the charger. Then I plugged it into the computer and it showed the charging symbol that means you need to plug it into the charger for the first time.
    So I did, and it loaded the iPod like the time I first got it and asked what language I wanted it in and all my songs were gone. Now every time I plug it into the computer iTunes won't recognize it, and every time I unplug it it resets itself again and asks me for the language and I still can't put any songs on it.
    HELP??

  • My ipod has gone into recovery mode for no reason at all

    So I was in Sri Lanka for the past 2 months volunteering, and I took my ipod with me. My camera was unfortunately out of action from day one, so I used my (very crappy) ipod camera to take photos for the entire time that I was in Sri Lanka.
    I had been there almost two months, I was in the last week of my stay when my ipod all of a sudden turns itself off when I was using it. It wouldn't come back on, and it was fully charged. I even tried plugging it in but it did nothing. It wouldn't come back on for two days, and then I tried it and it just says 'connect to itunes'. So I got home yesterrday and plugged it into itunes, and it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and has to be restored. However, if I restore it, I will lose ALL of my photos from Sri Lanka!!
    I have tried googling this problem for a while and can't seem to find a solution. My home button does not work which is another pain.
    But can someone please help me and tell me a way to save my photos?! I don't care about anything else, I cannot lose those photos They obviously aren't backed up either because I didn't have my computer at any point in Sri Lanka so it hasn't been connected to an itunes at any point in those photos being taken.
    Thanks.
