My 30GB Video iPOD won't WORK/TURN ON. A LITTLE HELP?

Question

I am so frustrated. This is my second time with the iPOD. When I got the new one after going to the store, everything was great until my lousy brother took the iPOD and charged it all night. The morning I got up, I saw that the iPOD would not turn on. So, I hooked it up to the outlet charger and it would not do anything! Next, I hooked it up to the computer and at first, a battery with an exclamation mark appears then a battery figure with a lightning strike appears. I don't know what to do and I am totally desperate to get this stupid piece of electronic to work. I've tried resetting it and it appears to not work and I am so not wanting to go back to the Apple Store because its annoying as crap to go in there and go back again to pick it up after 3 days when all they do is give you a new one. Well.. I think I tried resetting it and the same sign appears at first and moves to the lightning flash and battery figure.

These are the Apple pages for your icon and batteries and they have some links that might relate to your problem.

You could also try asking on the Apple Discussions pages, where all the Q&As are about Apples. Here's the Video iPod category:

It may help if you specify what it was plugged into for charging: a Mac, a Windows PC or a wall charger?

I have an iPod Nano, and when I charge it, the battery with the lightning strike appears.

It just means it's charging, that's all. Just keep it on the charger until you see a thing that looks sort of like the bottom of a cord for a lamp. The squre thingie with the two prongs.

Or, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just keep it on the charger until a different symbol appears besides the lightning bolt.

Answer 3

The lightening flash means its charging. If the battery is drained entirely sometimes it wont respond while charging. Try leaving it charging for an hour or two. If it doesnt respond call apple.
