My ipod only shows apple on front and wont respond to any buttons.

My ipod only shows a spinning wheel and a apple and wont respond to any of the buttons to see what may be on it,it was a gift..

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo

    My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo. It wont connect to iTunes, and charging doen't work. HELP PLEASE!

    Try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes dark for a moment, then the Apple boot logo should reappear. If it doesn't work, it's broken, take it to the Apple store or another authorized repair service.

  • HELP Ipod is stuck, will not shut down or respond to any button pushes

    my ipod suddenly will not do anything, I was playing it & skipped to a track on it & it got stuck, the screen shows now playing but it is not doing anything, I cant get it to shut down play etc, or respond to any button click wheel pushes. I can feel it vibrating in my hand, I have plugged it in to itunes & nothing, it does not see it nor does windows. it has been working good so far, I just got it off ebay from someone 2-3 weeks ago. I have been using an inexpensive usb & AC charger with it, I did not see any reason to pay more for other branded usb & ac power adapters. I can feel it vibrating when I press the buttons but nothing happens.
    I need some input soon, I dont want it to burn out.

    what is causing it to crash? is there anyway to prevent it? I am using an inexpensive USB cable & AC power charger, can this cause problems? is there any difference between the cheap ones & the more expensive ones? I did not see any reason in paying 30.00 odd dollars for items that I can get for about 5.00 to to the same job, charge & sync my ipod. I have also just bought & been using an apple ipod radio remote to listen to FM radio, can this cause any problems?
    Do skipping around to different songs & albums & sections on my ipod cause problems? is this bad for the hard drive?
    when I 1st got the ipod, & hooked it up to itunes, I did not have to register it or anything, itunes just synced my library to it, in the info section on my ipod, it reads format; windows, & I am on a windows PC so it seemed ready to go.
    do I need to do anything else to it now? it seems to be working now.

  • 5th generation Ipod only shows apple logo, lights up, and restarts.

    The iPod is stuck restarting and showing the apple logo. When I try to restore iPod, says "can't mount Ipod", already tried the Five R's. and I tried charging the battery to see if that was the problem, did not work. Computer sometimes recognizes ipod, but only in Disk mode.

    Hi. try...
    1. Deinstalling all iTunes / quicktime / updater. Reboot the PC and install all the software from the CD again. Then try a RESTORE.... if that doesn't work.
    2. If you have access to another PC try the restore from there.... if that doesn't work.
    3. Contact Apple for a replacement.
    You'll find a few hits on the forum that talk about the ipod being formatted for Mac use and you have to restore to get it into a windows format. I had a replacement and info came with it from apple with this info.
    I had a problem with restoring, along the lines of 'disk write error / firmware error, which I eventually fixed by installing the Belkin USB card. Once I was sure the ipod was working OK I tried installing the software and restoring on a few different PC's that I have access to. Unfortunately results were pretty inconclusive as to configs that worked / didn't work.

  • 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
    3g   Windows XP  

    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?

  • 80g video ipod only shows apple logo and makes loud clicking noises

    I've had my ipod 80g for a little over two years, with few incidents, and it's about 50 g full. When I most recently connected it to my computer, it started making these loud whirring and clicking noises and the apple logo is all that shows. I know the ipods can't be expected to last more than a few years (or so I'm told) so my question is what to do. Should I take it into the apple store and have the hard drive totally wiped of all my music, should I try some alternative fix (this strange business card opening the ipod technique, for instance?), or is there something else I should try? Is an ipod in this stage even salvagable? Thanks!

    i have the EXACT same problem. Whenever i add new files and try to play them the clicking noise is LOUD and it does not stop for a good 10 seconds nad my IPOD begins to shake...
    i would like to know the answer as well

  • What to do?? My iPod only shows apple logo and does nothing else!

    Does this mean the death knoll for my 2005 iPod white 30GB? It won't connect to the computer either. I haven't had a problem with it at all for 6 years and now this....

    ive had this problem before..if you hold down both the menu button and the center button at the same time until it shuts off, it will restart. try that and see if you can fix it.

  • Ipod touch only shows apple

    I did the update for my ipod touch and it showed the itunes with the usb. i plugged into itunes and it said it needed to restore it. I waited for the restore and an error came up on my computer. I am running the latest itunes and admin on my computer.....now my ipod only shows an apple with a black screen. I can hold down power and home and get apple to go away and reapear but nothing else...
    HELP

    You can try to put it on Recovery mode then restore it..
    Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
    Screen goes black, now release the power button
    Make sure you do not release the Home key until
    your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
    in recovery mode."
    After this its simple all you
    got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

  • Iphone seems to be working but only shows apple logo, itunes sees the phone normally, when i restored it appeared successful and itunes tried activating my phone but the screen only shows apple logo nothing else???

    my iphone is detected in itunes as normal, but screen on the phone only shows apple logo??? restored and everything but no difference its weird, it restores successfully and stuff but once done the screen only shows apple logo.. note:while restoring everything goes through as normal on the phone it shows the bar loading etc.. but once complete just stays on apple logo.

    It can take a few minutes to reinitialize, but if it stays on the Apple logo for as much as 10 minutes there is something seriously wrong. Try restoring again, and set up as a new phone rather than installing your backup. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup. If this doesn't fix it the phone is broken. Or possibly jailbroken.
