Nano displays Apple icon on selection of playlists

My Nano displays the Apple icon for a few seconds when I select playlists and then returns to the previous menu. In iTunes the playlist contents are visible, but I can't reach them through the ipod menu. I can traverse all other menu options. Anyone have experience with this?
Thank you.

Tom - Yes, mostly or only podcasts in fact. And I was mistaken re the menu order. I choose "Music" and then the apple icon appears for a few secs and then I'm back to the main menu. I think I see where you were going with this and just added a new item to an existing playlist... and now I can get to all my playlists and artists.
Why?
Thanks so much for your help.

  • Ipod nano displays apple icon and doesn't work

    I bought this nano as a gift (I already have an identical one). There were no problems syncing the content and registering the device, but once it is disconnected from the system, if you navigate to a song on the device and hit "[play", the screen goes black and will only display an apple icon.
    I returned the first one thinking it's a hardware issue, but the replacement is doing the exact same thing, leading me to believ it is a setting or software issue. I got the replacement in a completely different Best Buy too, just to try and get one from a different batch. Any ideas what's going on?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes and the Ipod's firmware is up to date.
    Make sure the "screen lock" is not set to on. Make sure the hold button at the top of iPod Nano is in the "off" position.

    hi i would to ask what is wrong with my iphone4 its display apple icon only,,,tnx

    Hi
    Try resetting your iPhone (Hold sleep/wake & home button for 10 seconds)
    If that doesn't work, then you may need to connect your iPhone to iTunes, and restore it.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

  • Ipod frequently stops after a song, displays apple icon

    I've got a new 80GB ipod with a bad habit. It frequently will reach the end of a song during a playlist play, and will just stop. It displays the black and white apple icon. If I hit the center button a few times, it will jump to the main menu and I can continue from there, though the playlist will start from the beginning again.
    Very annoying! And something my old ipod never did. Anyone else experience this?? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Sounds like an error in the software.

  • IPhone 4 will not power on - just displays apple icon

    Please help: my Apple iPhone 4 will not power on. It only displays the apple icon. I already tried a hard reset where I pressed and held and power and home button for 10 seconds and it still won't power on

    Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
    This Apple doc will walk you through the process -> iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • HT4623 my iphone only displays apple icon after updating my phone

    I updated my OS on my Iphone4, Now all I get is the apple Icon
    Any advice greatle appreciated

    Two options for you. First just try holding down the power button and the home button simultaneously until something happens. If that doesn't work, then plug your iPhone into iTunes and see what it says.

  • A tech issue with my 4th gen Nano - displays only the Apple icon

    Hello,
    I really hope that someone will be able to suggest a solution to my problem. I bought my Nano from the US about an year ago and it has been working perfectly till now... About two weeks ago I left it at home and did not use it for a week or so. After that when I took it with me one day I noticed that it was out of battery. So far so good...
    After I got back home I plugged it in the PC and the problems began.. iTunes recognized it as corrupted so I restored it. Now I can upload whatever I want but it will not display anything else but the Apple icon It is not the battery as it when it is unplugged it still displays this icon.
    I have been reseting it, too. No change - it just turns off and then on again - displaying the annoying icon :((((((((
    It is not the cable either - I tried using it with my boyfriend's cable [he has the same iPod, the only difference is that his is 16 GB]. Again - the freaking apple stays there.
    I have been restarting my computer, plugging the iPod in and out, reseting it, restoring it... I'm desperate. Please help me You are my only hope as it is already out of warranty and I'm in Bulgaria :[ oh, did I mention that I reinstalled iTunes several times, I even tried syncing the iPod with another PC - it can be synced there, too, but again - no change in the display.
    It is stuck at this Apple icon and it does not make the clicking noise either.
    Thanks in advance, I would REALLY appreciate any help/suggestions I'm really sad, this was a gift and I loved it :[

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen either gets white screen or apple icon but is recognized by itunes! What now

    So I have done the reset steps and I will either get the white screen or the apple icon with 2 audible beeps. The Ipod does show up in Itunes, however I cant play music. I dont know if it has been dropped or not as I am doing a favor for a friend. I was able to restore the ipod via Itunes as well but Im stuck here. I dont know how to put in disk mode when I cant see anything on the screen except the white screen or the apple icon. Any Ideas as what to do next or is this Ipod done?

    I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.

  • My ipod touch 5 displays the apple icon, then it just turns black. Any ways to help me?

    My ipod touch 5 is a year old, and was working perfectly fine today, then I found that it was shut off and I did the usual (hold the button on top till the apple icon shows up) and it satyed there longer than usual and then just turned off. How can I fix this?? Thanks.

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not 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.

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

  • My boyfriend bought a 2nd gen ipod nano at a garage sale and can't get it to turn on or unlock. I shows the apple icon and a ipod with a cone shape next to it. I do we get this to work?

    My boyfriend bought a ipod nano 2nd generation and can't get it to work and it only shows apple icon and an ipod with a triangle next to it. Says to see apple.com/support/ipod. Can anyone help to figure out what we need to do to get this working.  Thank you

    I think it needs to be charged. Try keeping it connected to the computer for some time. Then disconnect and connect again. And I hope you have itunes installed in the PC as the iPod can be synced only with that. Here's the link to download itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    Also check the apple site for further syncing info.

  • HT201263 After updating to the ios6 my ipod was going on and off displaying the apple icon and then had a white screen that had multi colors on it. Then it had a blue screen.plz help me

    I was updating my iPod touch 4g to the ios6 and it told me to hook it up to the iTunes and so I did. After doing that the computer told me to restore I tried and it didn't work. My ipod then was Turing on and off displaying the apple icon then my screen turned white with rainbow colors going down the screen then at some point my ipod had a multi colored blue screen. The screen was no longer blue after I let it die. Plz help I can't find any solutions.

    Try:
