  • Pls help my iPod is showing some symbols

    Hi ... few minutes back, when i checked my iPod its showing some signs, something it has never done before.
    From the main menu screen to any other screen i go to, it is constantly showing '2 blue arrows' (the rewind sign) at the top left side of the screen.
    Then while playing songs, it shows both the repeat sign n shuffle sign, sometimes its either one. I havent activated either shuffle nor repeat.
    Can anybody please help me? Is my iPod getting screwed up?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try resetting your iPod...

    Also, go to settings-->shuffle and make sure it is off. Do this for repeat as well.
    See if it works now.

  • Ipod only shows apple symbol

    My 3rd generation ipod was recently restored by the apple store to test for battery failure. When I brought it home and tried to connect it to the computer to transfer all my songs back on it, I got a messege saying that it had to be reformated for windows. After clicking ok, it was not recognized and from then on the only thing i see on my ipod is the apple symbol. Any button i press doesn't do anything. I've also tried resetting several times but with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated

    I have the same issue. I went to the Apple store and they have tried re setting it 2 times but this issue keeps coming back. The First time they reset it I was able to connect it to my PC and update then synch it but I have yet to be able to use it. I bought the Apple care service agreement but of course this started happening 3 weeks after the warranty expired.
    When I called Apple care they said I could send it in for $255 and have it looked at. This seems a bit ridiculous because you can buy a new one for $300.
    Can any one offer any help?

    The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

  • My new ipod touch 4G shows lock symbol, how to release?

    My new ipod touch bought from USA showing lock symbol and connect to itunes symbol, how to release the lock, please help me any one

    You said it was new. Before you can use a new iPod you have to connect it to a computer with internet service and iTunes installed and activate the iPod. It sounds like that is what you iPod is tell you to do. It appears you are seeing an iTunes symbol and USB cable on your iPod.

    I've found an easier way, just go to settings>general>usage>music. Then swipe it and press delete, i think this deletes the database described above, then re-sync, this worked for me anyway. Good luck, you need it with Apple software.
    I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up.  Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in.  And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone.  Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much.  After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone. 
    I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music.  Now all of the album artwork is correct again.  I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me.

  • IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

    Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPod Showing Weird Symbol

    Hey everyone, my ipod is showing a black screen with a battery symbol with a lightning bolt on the left side, and the battery is quarter full what does this mean and my ipod is not charging, it just keeps going to sleep, its not showing "Do Not Disconnect or nething"
    i would appreciate some help thank you

    I think i have the same thing. It's like a battery on the right hand side then half of a lighnting bold on the left. I cannot find anything about it on the site or manual. And i cannot reset it. I find if i plug it into a usb port i see the standard battery warning for about 1 second then back to this.
    Of course all the documentation says to try plugging it into a standard Ipod AC adaptor. Well thats a compltely bogus suggestion unless apple starts supplying them standard with the ipods. I have a usb ac adaptor for my black berry but im afriad to try it since i'm sure apple made the connections propriatory i'm sure. I've plugged it into three known good usb ports on three different computers. I think it's the Ipod. Only had it for a week too! So i guess i should be able to return it for a refund becouse this is rediculous.

  • My ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

    my ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Help my ipod touch 4th gen. wont turn on it wont even show the symbol to say its dead Help im really scared and if its broke i cannot afford another one!

    it wont even show the symbol that its dead please help me

    Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

  • HT201263 I purchased an 1gen 16GB Ipod from a seller. The ipod only shows the connect to itunes logo when connected to computer. The display shows without the word itunes. I got error codes 1603 and 1604 and have followed all the steps that were shown on

    I purchased a 16gb ipod touch 1 gen and it wont restore or show the battery chaging icon. It shows the symbol of usb cable and what appears to be an itunes symbol without the itunes words being displayed. Upon trying to restore I have gotten error codes 1603 & 1604. I referred to the apple website for assistance and followed the steps to the letter with no results. So what else should I try or could I try because I have has no such luch thus far? I have held the home button and power button I tried to enter DFU mode but unsuccessful due to the screen boots with apple logo then immediately goes to the itunes screen and no further only when connected. Will not power on without usb connection have charged battery to see if it was the issue and no battery bar locator displays with or without being connected to PC.

    So you did all this:
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • My iPod Touch shows USB and arrow pointing to iTunes

    It's a newer generation that I bought a while back, but i tried to system restore so my little brother couldn't access my vital applications that i had installed previously.
    Whilst plugged in, it said that a system update and iTunes update was required. However, neither fully finished. Instead, the iPod touch shows the generic USB cord with an arrow pointing toward the iTunes symbol.
    Is there anything that i can do without having to pay for it to be fixed???

    First get the latest version (10.6.3 ) of iTunes to install on your computer. See the following if necessary:

    The connect the iPod and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in DFU mode and restore if necessary.

  • Ipod only showing the apple logo and will not do anything else. 1st GEN

    my ipod will only show the apple logo when plugged in to my computer i have a dell running xp but i have tried other computers and it will not do anything but show this symbol. my computer does not recognise that it is plugged in. ive tried the apple support fix-it but it does not do anything period. the buttons do not work when plugged in or not. the only thing it does is light up when plugged in. my other ipod works perfectly no problems so this leads me to believe that its not the computers i have used. just think the ipod has had it

    Mine did the same thing last week after trying to update it via wi-fi. I then spent 11 hours Sunday updating my itunes on the laptop then restoring my ipod. Now all it does is beep as if it is just plugged in and flash the white apple logo. It beeps constantly. My computer at first didn't recognize it, then it did but said I needed to unlock it,(since I can't get the home screen up, I can't.) and now it doesn't recognize it at all. I've tried both computers.
