Hello ADZ-BER,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


If your iPod turns on but gets stuck during startup

If your iPod still won't respond, gets stuck during startup, or persistently displays an Apple logo or Red X icon, here's what to do:

  1. If you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a PC, make sure that your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
  2. If you have an iPod nano or iPod classic, put your iPod in Disk Mode.
  3. On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, open a Finder window. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a PC, open iTunes. Then connect your iPod directly to your computer.
  4. Find your iPod in the Finder or iTunes, then select Restore iPod.

Hopefully this helps.


Cheers!
