Unhappy Ipod displayed

Hi,
On the Ipod classic after the apple symbol disappears it comes up with an icon of the Ipod with an unhappy face where the display is, an error symbol(triangle with an ! point in it) and the address www.apple.com/support/ipod.
What does this mean and how can I fix it?
Thanks

What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. As your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

    The sad iPod icon is usually indicative of a hard drive problem, so if they are of no help it's time to get it serviced.

  • Help!  IPOD displaying Folder with Exclamation Point ICON

    I haven't used my IPOD Nano in about a year, and when I turned it on today (after charging), the only thing that displays is an icon of a folder with an exclamation point in a triangle. I can't get this icon to go away even after resetting it. I'd like to restore to factory settings, but my PC isn't recognizing the IPOD (yes, I downloaded the most current version of ITUNES and the IPOD doesn't show up there as a source).
    Any ideas?

  • Can I delete artwork icon in my ipod display?

    I have an ipod classic 160 GB (6G). I do not wish to see the artwork icon in my display. I've deleted all my songs' artwork in my iTunes, but the music note icon of course remains on my ipod display. I use my ipod for teaching dance classes, and I'm only interested in viewing the text: song name, artist, etc., the way my old ipod photo (4G) displayed information, without the artwork icon. Is that possible?

    Sorry, but it is not a feature of the iPod.

  • Can i stream my ipod display on LED tv via apple TV ?

    Can i stream my ipod display on LED tv via apple TV ?
    I tried this using "apple to hdmi" cable . I am able to see the display for IPAD but i am not able to see the display for ipod touch .. facetime,playing videos also didnot stream the display on tv.So planning to buy apple TV .
    Please let me know if i can stream my ipod touch 4th generation display on my LED TV ?

    The 4G iPod does not support airplay mirroring like the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 (and later) with iOS 5 and later. Thus you iPod will only AipLy for apps that support AirPly.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.
    For more info see:

  • My Ipod displays the red-orange circle with an X inside, and the apple support web address.  I can't find a reference to this and I haven't seen it before.  Any ideas what this means?

    The ipod has been working erratically for the last few weeks.  Stops playing mid-song, takes forever to load the next song on shuffle mode.  Today, stopped playing altogether.  When I tried to reset, I got an orange circle with a X in it and the support web addaress.  I can't find anything on the support site that references the x'd circle.  Any ideas?  Is this thing toast?

    Hi Crystal Newkirk,
    I've come across the following information which may be helpful. If you are seeing the red "X" icon on the display, we will need to restore your iPod from Disk Mode.

  • IPod displaying the same artisit more then once in the artist view

    When I sync my library to my ipod, my ipod displays copies of the same artist. Right now it is 3 copies and I was wondering a way to fix it.
    I have purchased the songs in question from the itunes store. and the artists that are repeated have the same albums and songs listed under them... Im refering to the "artist" sort mode on the ipod
    I know this isnt a tech forum per say.. but this is really annoying me and would like to know how to fix it..
    This is what my ipod displays when I go to sort by artisit
    Coldplay
    Daughtry
    Daughtry
    Daughtry
    Disturbed
    Im sure you see the problem and yeah... appreciate the help if someone can help me.
    Also the 2 artists that are doing this are daughtry and our lady peace... both of whom I purchased the music from the itunes store

    Select all the songs in the iTunes library by the same artist (all at the same time). While all are highlighted do a Get Info. Is the Artist field blank? If so that means there is an actual difference between two or more of the selected tracks for that field. Mispellings, added space characters, accent marks on some by not the others, etc. Simple solution is to now type in the artist name (to be applies to all the songs equally), OK out of there and see if the iPod looks right after re-syncing.

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....
