Ipad 2 ios 5.0.1 stuck at apple logo black screen, subsequently cannot restore, face error 16XX in itunes.

i have encountered this problem even after 10 hours of troubleshooting various methods, when i turned off my ipad and when turning it back on, it would just hang during the white apple logo on the black screen and remain there with no sign of activity till i hold the lock + home button till it shuts down.
after several attempts, i tried to put it into recovery and restore firmware, it would get stuck at stage "preparing ipad for restore" after i click on restore ipad.
i have attempted:
dfu and restore, 1600 error
recovery and restore, 21 error
my ipad 2 is wi-fi only model running ios 5.0.1.
i can't think of anything else other than sending it to applecare. my ipad 2 was recently purchased in jan this year. any input would be greatly welcomed!

Just follow these steps. I am sure it will solve your problem.

  • HELP!!! iphone 3gs 32gb ios 4.3.3 stuck on apple logo and can do nothing

    Yesterday, I tried to power on my 3gs after restored, but it stuck on apple logo like 20 mins then it rebooted itself and the cycle has been going on that way. It's been 15 hours of hard trying the ways that i could researched on google. I tried to hold both buttons for a long times, nothing happened, unless i held the buttons when it was about to reboot then the apple logo went off, and on, and off again while i kept holding buttons. But nothing new happened. I tried to hold the buttons till the reboot cycle, and release sleep button when the phone was totally off, I kept holding Home and plug it into computer, but the itunes didn't recognize it and the apple logo went back and stuck on screen invoking me.
    Please help me experts!
    Hope for your feed back
    Eddie

    hiya with the 3gs you hold down the on button at the same time as holding in the middle button for applications etx for a few seconds should solve it mate ian

  • IMac 10.5.8 is stuck on Apple logo loading screen , how can I back up my files with an external hard drive ?

    so my iMac (10.5.8 its pretty old ) got stuck on the apple logo loading screen (as I call it lol) and it will not go beyond that .I've already made and appointment for the genius bar but now would I back up my files with an external hard drive ? No unfortunately I don't have any other laptop or computer just the external hard drive. how would I back it up? Does it have something to do with "target disc mode"?

    Hi,
    Thank you for great advice re SuperDuper.
    You wasnt to know we didnt live in  USA.  We will try to get the full retail version of Leopard off the net.  We will also phone round the apple resellers.
    In the meantime, we are happy running Tiger with the knowledge that SuperDuper has cloned our hard drive in case of a disaster.
    SuperDuper recommended backing up the hard drive with a new user account if we were using filevault on the master account.  We backed up our hard drive without creating a new user with filevault as we could not read the pdf `Instuctions as preview was not responding.
    Is this copy safe to use as a bootable drive or should we copy our entire HD again using a new user account without filevault?

  • Macbook Pro Stuck at Apple Logo (gray screen) and keeps restarting

    I've a problem with my Macbook Pro wherein it keeps getting stuck at the Apple Logo upon restarting (no spinning wheel). It eventually restarts itself maybe after 5 minutes but still keeps getting stuck in the grey screen where the Apple Logo comes up.
    I've tried restarting this with CMD+R  to do a "fsck -fy" and here's what I keep getting (attached picture). This screen eventually exits and my Mac restarts itself and gets stuck at the Apple Logo (grey screen).
    I think this maybe a HD problem (possibly some corrupt files). Any suggestions/similar experiences? Any chance this can be resolved without reinstalling OS X?
    Thank you!!!

  • IPad 2 Wifi iOS 5.1.1 Stuck on Apple Logo

    Hello Everybody,
    My iPad 2 Wifi with iOS 5.1.1 is stuck on the Apple logo.  I didn't do anthing to it and this
    is the first problem I've had since I bought it during the iPad 2 launch.  I've tried a few things
    and they didn't work.
    I wonder if Apple is trying to force me to upgrade.

    In my opinion, iOS 6 is an immense down grade.
    However, iOS 7 is being released tomorrow and it
    looks fairly promising.
    I still desire iOS 5 on my iPad 2 and I'm hoping a
    solution with emerge out of somewhere.

  • IPhone 4 stuck on Apple logo, I'm travelling and don't have access to iTunes.

    I was trying to update to 6.0.1 when the progress bar stopped moving, now it's been stuck on the Apple logo all day.
    I'm travelling and don't have access to a computer. Am I screwed til I get home? Could they help me at the Apple store?

    Thanks Deggie, I forgot to mention that I tried that a few times to no avail. I will try the Genius Bar I guess. It's ***** to be travelling and not have access to even the phone part of my phone.

  • Mac pro stuck at apple logo loading screen after software updates

    I have an older MBP from 2008 - was prompted to do updates tonight and let it update and restart. It gets stuck at the gray apple loading screen and does nothing else. Have tried resetting PRAM and booting in safe mode. Safe mode works fine but nada on normal. Also tried giving it plenty of time to boot but it continues to load (with the little circle animation under the logo) and nothing ever happens.
    Any ideas or suggestions? grateful for any help!! :(

    Try starting your computer with the original DVD that came with your Mac Pro then run disk utility on your hard drive to repair it.  If you are running Mac OS X 10.7 then start your computer in Mac recovery mode (command + R) then run disk utility on your hard drive.

  • IPad 2 Stuck at Apple Logo (Recovery Mode)

    We have a few people at work that we have purchased iPads for about 2 years ago. One user's iPad is not working any longer and is stuck on a black screen with the apple logo. He claims he did do the latest update on the iPad  a few days ago but it had been working fine. He noticed the charge was getting low so he plug it in at his desk to leave it alone and let it charge. He left it charged for about 2 hours and when he goes to use it it is stuck on the apple logo/black screen and can not do anything. I come to look at it and try holding the wake/sleep top button to see if i can get it to shutdown, the apple logo will go away but it is just a black screen, and if i press the home button it shows the apple logo again. if i hold down wake/sleep and home button at the same time it will show to connect to itunes. So on a computer with itunes i connect it while holding the buttons down but nothing would ever show in itunes. I tried on another pc with itunes and did the same thing this time it showed on itunes that it was in recovery mode and to select restore, it shows itunes is restoring software and shows the apple logo with a progress bar and it finishes, then progress bar shows again and then seems to finish again. It just keeps showing the apple logo and wont do anything. The first time i used recovery mode and tried to restore the factory defaults it showed like it finished but then showed the battery logo like the battery was almost dead but it had been charging a while before i unplugged it. I left it charged over night but still just shows apple logo and after about a minute the apple logo will go away and it will be just a black screen but the apple logo keeps showing. I also tested the charger for the ipad2 and it works fine on another ipad so there is no issue with the charger. Is there anything else i can try or will i just have to call apple?

    I'm having the same problem , exact same !
    Please reply anyone . I'm tired of restoring the iPad againg & again !
    Please as soon as possible .
