My iPod is stuck in the apple icon only

How can i solve my iPod problem? when i turn it on it just show the apple icon and thats it.

ANSWERS:

"I would first try to make a hard reset - press and hold the menu and the select button until the iPod restarts - that should take between 6-10 seconds.

if tht wont work, try to restore it with itunes - if itunes doesn't recognize the iPod - use the disk mode for that
