I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

I'm getting an error message from iTunes saying "The iphoned could not be restored. An unknown erroe has occured (21). " I am on a PC and my itunes is up to date. This has never happended before & I wasn't using an app or really even my phone when this happened. If there are any other solutions please let me know. I'm not going to be able to get to a service person for a couple of days. Any help would be useful.

1. Hold the power button until Iphone shows logo then hold down home button make sure iphone is connected to the computer.
2. The computer will do the rest if it doesn't connect to the computer then these steps are useless but u can still try

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum

First plaese unplug any external device (except the mouse and keyboard), then hold on the power button, perform a cold reboot, what is the result?

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

I just loaded the 8.1 operating system on my iPad. It has been sitting for about 4 hours with the black screen and white apple with the bar underneath. What should I do?

I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
MEID ********
Serial DL******JHH
64GB
I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath. It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
<Edited by Host>

I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything. I thought I was doomed. I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now. I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

OK. I have connected Apple TV and chosen HDM1 input. Now what do I do? I am only getting a black screen with HDM1 and "player 1 (BD System) at the top of the TV screen. Help!

I have given my hiusband Apple TV for Christmas. We have just connected it and are just seeing a black screen with HDM1 & Player1(BD SYSTEM) at the top of the screen. Next step is to go onto Settings but I can't seem to get this to work. The screen won't respond to the Apple TV remote. I did pair it to the TV by pressing menu and Right for 6 seconds but nothing happening.
We are in a rural area with Satellite Broadband......not sure if this makes a difference.
Help please!

Didn't see you had posted twice! Deletd.

My ipad is now only showing a black screen with the apple icon and doesn't appear to be charging despite being on the AC adapter all day

My ipad had an icon on it after being on the charger all night that indicated it needed to be plugged into itunes. I did this, and then it said it was going to do a restore, I confirmed I was ok and then left it on the computer all day and now the best I can do is get the apple icon on a blank screen. It occassionally changes to show that it has no battery and then goes back to the apple icon. How can I restore it? Any other ideas?

(A) Charge your battery
(B)Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

My itunes library is constantly resetting itself. I really don't know what is wrong with it I have ran virus checks and nothing is on my laptop. Anybody got any idea?

Hi my itunes library is constantly disappearing, I really don't know what is wrong. It keep happening everytime I turn my laptop off, I thought I had solved the problem the other week however it has started back up again. I have a Sony Vaio laptop and have read on the discussions that this can occur but all the solutions I have read haven't seemed to solve it. Anybody else got an idea? I would be really grateful for the help!

See this post. Seems that AVG is the most likely cause. They are promising a patch tomorrow.

I don't know how to go back to the original look of my Dashboard. I don't know what I did, but now when I click on it, my Words with Friends game comes up and that is all. How do I "reset" it to the original things on it?

When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.
