Ipod classic 4g doesn't turn on
« on: January 20, 2013, 12:23:59 PM »
I was charging my Ipod by computer then when original software showed up i decided to reboot. Apple logo shows up then Rockbox Logo v3.12 and nothing more happens. I don't know what should i do to turn it on even with original software

Reboot into the apple emergency disk mode and then check the file system for errors. I don't know how edm works on your player but Google can give you the apple help page for it.

There is no "Memory" option in emergency disk mode. Please explain in detail what you did, what you see and what you expect.

Yes, you want to be in Emergency Disk Mode, as saratoga said:
