Q: Bootup
HI,
My iPod suddenly not boot up after a long time.
I m not too sure about the iOS as I ca turn it on. When centre button depress, Apple logo shiown then it prompt "www.apple.com/support/iPod."
Sometime, it prompted "please wait battery very low." It doesn't help even charger was used.
if kept trying with the charger on/off, sometimes it prompt " connect to computer for reload"
Could it be a problem of hard drive or I didn't update software.
Thanks
iPod classic, iOS 4.1

iPod classic does NOT run iOS of any version. It has its own iPod software.
Try doing a Reset (restart) of iPod
Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the battery is still low, you can do this while the iPod is connected to power.
If you get back to the same error screen, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
If it goes into Disk Mode, run iTunes and connect it (if it's not already connected). If iTunes picks it up, it may prompt you to do a Restore with a message about "recovery." If you're OK with erasing the iPod, tell iTunes to proceed with Restore.
If the iPod does not go into Disk Mode, it may have a faulty hard drive.
