Apple logo and nothing else...

I picked up my iPhone 4 today and was preparing to pass on my 3G to my wife. I had recently upgraded to iOS4 on it so thought that the best option to clear all my stuff off was to select the option to clear my data rather than reset it. This was going fine with the Apple and a progress bar on the screen. But just before it reached the end, the phone reset and the Apple appeared on it's own and just stayed there. I left the phone for over 10 minutes and then it flashed and went blank. The power button brought back the Apple on screen again but still nothing else. I can soft reset it using the 'Power' and 'Home' button together, but it still just ends up going back to the Apple.
Is there any way, like a different key combination or something, to restore the phone to it's factory state?
Help, before my wife kills me!

Fix what ?
Email is not designed for attachments above 10Mb - if a PC/mc can't cope, expecting an iPhone is a tad optimistic.
FTP is for large file transfers, or if you only have email, use of RAR files may be better.
Yes and no. Just because you're convinced email isn't designed for large email attachments doesn't mean people abide by it. It happen to receive emails with large attachments at least twice a day (not on my Iphone luckily). Granted I don't like it either, but reality is people still do it. All I'm expecting from apple is to make sure that it's email client can handle deleting such an email so I don't have to wipe the iphone and re-install everything. Expecting it to be able would indeed be a tad optimistic.

  • My ipad keeps showing the apple logo and nothing else and it wont restore it keeps coming up with error 19

    I have an iPad 2nd generation and all it does is show the apple logo continuously and  nothing else. I cannot get into the iPad and I have tried to restore it numerous times but it comes up with error 19 or error 14. Or it restores but after it has it just comes back up with the apple logo once again and nothing changes or it flashes a few times. does anyone know how to fix this?

    You need to put your iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document very carefully. It might take several attempts to get it to work.

  • IPod shows apple logo and nothing else

    I managed to put it on disk mode, and iTunes actually "saw" it. I even uploaded some tracks, everything is ok supposedly but when I reset it, it shows the apple logo and won't do anything else after that. All you see is the logo.
    That was the case even before I upload any of the tracks.
    thanks in advance guys

    You need to put it back into disk mode, connect it to the computer, and restore it with the ipod updater. The ipods software is not installed correctly. Here is a link addressing your exact issue. The artical also contains links about restoring an ipod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584

    Did you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen?

    Because the iPod is sick.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I updated my ios and now only apple logo appears nothing else works

    Recently I got a notification about software update and i used itunes to update my ios 5.0.1 to ios 6 but now only apple logo appaers and nothing else works please help!!!!

    Try resetting first.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your iPhone to factory settings >  http://www.everythingicafe.com/how-to-restore-iphone-to-factory-settings-without -itunes/2011/12/13/
    Be aware, resetting to factory settings deletes all user data.
    Then try updating to iOS 6 again.

  • My screen went dead, I have now got the apple logo and nothing more seems to happen

    My ipad screen went blank and I have now got it started again with the start button and the home button.  I now just have the Apple logo on the screen and nothing else.  I am now charging the ipad. Do you think it will recover?

    Hello there, fennell12.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS device not powering on:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    If you continue to receive the Apple Logo on the screen then this article provides additional steps for you:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and nothing is working

    The screen on my ipod touch just went black and then came up with the apple logo after I plugged it in. It has been about 20 minutes and nothing has happened. I've tried resetting it but nothing is working. Please help. Thank you so much!

    If a hard reset does not work, try putting it in DFU mode and restore it.

    You killed it. It's dead. Your photos are gone. Deal with it.
