I can't get my iPod classic past the "OF to disconnect" screen. iTunes doesn't see it when it is plugged into my Mac either. Is this something I can fix or will it have to be taken to Apple for repair?

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. Does your iPod Classic's screen say whether it is in "Disk Mode" or not? Are you able to now see the iPod in iTunes?
You may want to also follow the steps detailed here for general iPod connection troubleshooting. Please also review the steps here to put your iPod into disk mode before connecting it to your computer. If the device shows in iTunes after enabling disk mode, you should be able to restore it. If you haven't already, you may also want to verify that there is not any debris in the iPod's charging port and test an alternate cable if you haven't already.

Hello. Does your iPod Classic's screen say that it is in "disk mode?" If so, this may be the cause of the issue. To take your iPod Classic out of disk mode, hold the MENU and SELECT buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears. Your iPod Classic will be out of disk mode following these steps.
I did it, the apple came up, after a few seconds it came on and said to be sure to eject it before disconnecting, went to the menu for a few seconds, then went back to the apple, made a clicking sound and went back toOK to disconnect.
See Corrupt iPod Classic - Apple Community. What are your HDD stats? Check for fluff in the docking port and/or try another cable.

It did not say disk mode on that screen. It appears my battery will not charge, so that is part of the issue, but I think that is only part of it as I can't get it to do much even while plugged in.
iTunes doesn't see my iPod classic and the only screens I can get are the apple icon, and "OK to disconnect". What can I do?
