My Ipod froze at startup. I keep restarting by holding menu + center button. And it just sits there. How do i get out of this screen?
 
Have you tried updating the firmwire with apple update(mac only). I dont know how to update with a PC, but see if there is an update.


On a side note there is a portable device thread now, keep that in mind :p

Nice sig :D
 
My computer doesn't even see that its plugged in becuase its stuck on the startup screen. So i can't even update it =/
 
I would say take the battery out..but we know how Ipods are, there is a trick to fixing that but Im not sure what it is. Im pretty sure you hold down the menu button and put the hold switch on. I dont remember :)
 
Wow i really don't know whats wrong. The apple icon just sits there and i can't get past it. I Keep restarting the Ipod and it just sits there going no where. Absolutly no music is playign and it doesnt' even come up on my computer =/ Well if you find a way can u tell me? THank you
 
Same problem my sisters iBook is having, must be a mac thing :/
 
Have you tried restarting it with it plugged into a wall outlet? I remember reading about that when I first got my iPod. If all else fails, call Apple Support.
 
I have heard about zens having this problem too :p
 
I had a similar problem with mine a while ago. I plugged it into the mains then then help down Menu and Select until the Apple Logo appeared. But as you have mentioned you have repeatedly tried this I am sort of out of ideas. Best thing is call Apple support, they are very helpful, far better than any 'pc' company.

As for RickyC's comment I used to use a Nomad Zen (still have it, sat in a drawer now), it was alright, but the interface and controls of the iPod are far superior.
 
I got it to fix i think. Its charging right now. I let it sit overnight and it ran outta batt. When i woke up this morning i went to see whats up then when i pushed play nothing happened so i restarted it ONCE AGAIN. Then sucessfully it went to the menu screen. So i guess wasting the batt helped. Hopefully it still works. I'm charging it right now. THanks for the inputs guys. BTW the Zens suck my friend has one. Its a ghetto version of a Ipod =/ and much larger.
 
Is there a reset option?

I know some players have a small hole where you can stick a pin in and reset the device and it fixes some bugs you might have. I wonder if the iPod has anything like that.
 
Glad it seems to be working for you now. :)

Not going to be helpful here but throw it away and buy a ZEN :)

If you recognize your post will be useless then don't post at all. :rolleyes:

Thats the purpose of the Menu+Select combo ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
