My ipod touch is frozen with the Apple logo. I can't do anything with it. Help!

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

  • HT201412 My ipod touch is frozen on the apple logo and thinking circle at the same time. How do i fix it?

    Hey guys, i really need help. The other day, i was playing a game on my ipod touch and it froze up. So i turned it off and turned it back on, and it's frozen on the apple logo with a blurry thinking circle right under it. Pleas Help! Thanks!

    You do what the screen is telling you.  Connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.

  • My iPod Touch is frozen on the apple logo.

         I received my iPod Touch as a gift for valentines day over a year ago. Over 3 months ago, I tried to reset my iPod and as usual, the apple logo appeared, but this time it didn't go away.
         I went through the resetting process multiple times (holding the sleep and home button at the same time) but the screen would go black, then show the logo again. I let the battery run out and after I plugged it in to charge, the same thing happened. Basically, my iPod has been resetting itself for over 3 months. During this time, I did not have access to my computer. That was being restored. When I did get my PC back, i figured i could plug up my iPod and have it restored. BUT my comp didn't recognize my iPod as a device. I re-downloaded iTunes, plugged my iPod back up and iTunes didn't even recognize it.
         I'm also having a problem with iTunes itself. Most of my songs are missing. The names are visible, but once I try to play them, the dialogue box appears saying, "this song can not be played because the original file could not be found" and it show a exclamation point to the left of each missing song. I WOULD transfer the songs from my iPod to iTunes, but once again, my iPod is "broken". I have recently read different articles on the Apple website, but once i spotted my issue, it told me that it had to be sent in to be repaired. I also called AppleCare but i was put on hold for too long and I just gave up. I Googled my issue, and found that many other people also have this problem. Answers were posted, and I tried them all but to no avail.

  • My IPod touch is frozen on the apple screen how can I move past the screen

    My IPod Touch is frozen and I can't get passed the apple screen how do I unlock it

    Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  If that doesn't work, you'll need to connect the iPod to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below and restore it.

  • IPod Touch is frozen on the apple logo.

    I have tried holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for 10 seconds. And everytime I turn it on, it comes to the apple logo and freezes there. I have put it in DFU mode (as another forum suggested) and then unplugging it and holding the buttons again, but that did nothing. Please help?

    I've been having the same problem, as have others. You will have to connect it to your computer and restore it. Here are two threads on the subject that should be helpful:

    How do you fix  a frozen ipod touch, it only shows the apple logo?

    Hello,
    I have same broken iPod Touch 4G, I'm stuck on the Apple logo and only what I can do is just restart. If I connect iPod turns on but that's all. I checked a lot of tricks how to restart/reboot device and how to get DFU but I have only the logo. iTunes on my mac can't recognize the device.
    And in Apple retail store the guy told me: sorry it's dead. We can fix for about £200. After 1 month when my waranty is finished. Funny isn't it? I can't believe that my lovely iPod is dead after 13 months. Where is the "for quality you have to pay." Is it conspiracy if you don't buy extra waranty we will send you killing signal into your iDevice?
    Many thanks for help
