My ipod is only showing the Apple Icon and wont turn on past that. It also won't connect to my computer so I can't restore it. What Should I do? Should I go to an Apple store and have them take a look at it?

I don't know what to do. It is only showing the apple icon. I've tried turning it on and off and it just stays on the icon. It also wont connect to my computer so I can;t restore it like I have been told to do. So should I take it into an apple store? Or is it a lost cause..??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • My ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge.

    my ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge on any of my sinc cords or my outlet charger. And I have checked that nothing is in the plug port blocking the electrodes. What do I do now?

    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

  • Camera Raw in CS4.  I have applied the Camera Raw 5.7 update to my CS4 Photoshop. It works fine in Photoshop, but only shows the NEF icon from my DS3 files in Bridge. Any ideas would be gratefully received.  Many thanks.

    I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a new PC as my other has all but died.  I applied the Camera Raw 5.7 update for CS4 to take care of the NEF files from my Nikon D3S.  This works fine when opening NEF file, but in Bridge it only shows the NEF icon.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful.

    Purge the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.

  • HT1435 every time i try to start up my ipod it only shows the sad ipod icon

    every time i try to start up my older ipod 5th gen it makes a sound then shows the sad ipod icon so what could i try before i take it to the store.

    If it's making a clicking sound, then the hard drive is probably bad.  The apple store probably wont do anything more than give you 10% discount on a new one. 
    You should be able to do a google search for ipod repairs and find someone who can replace the hard drive.

  • PDF files only show the Acrobat icon

    Hi, I'm new and just read all of the PDF discussions about Safari.
    I have a similar problem. Each time I open a PDF page all I get
    is the Acrobat icon in the middle of the screen. When I try to
    save as to my desktop, it's always corrupted.
    I can't remember ever installing any plug ins or anything. This just
    started to happen one day.
    I have Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional and Safari 2.0.4.
    I've tried to understand everything that's been discussed here but
    it's a little over my head and I think that me being on an Apple iMac 5G
    may be a little different than a Windows app.
    Any suggestions? Anyone?

    Hello,
    Safari has it's own built-in PDF viewer so doesn't really need Adobe Reader to help it. Try disabling the Adobe Reader plug-in (you do this via the Internet preferences with Adobe Reader, not in Safari) and quitting/restarting Safari once the Reader plug-in has been disabled.
    Hope that helps.

  • 3rd gen iPod won't connect with firewire...how can I restore it?

    As many others have had this problem, my iPod only charges when connected with firewire. When I connect with USB, it says "Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings"
    When I try the iPod Software Updater, it says I need to connect via Firewire.
    Question 1: Any ideas on how to restore the iPod?
    Question 2: Any ideas on how to get the firewire functional again?
    Many thanks in advance

    Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
    Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?
