Phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon and sometimes connect to itunes
3gs phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon alternating with connect to itunes
You didn't connect it to your computer or to power, did you?
Wipe it down, put it in a baggie with raw rice or new silica gel packets and set it in a cool, dry area, like a cupboard. Leave it there for 3 - 4 days.
Take it out after this time, wipe it off, use a soft brush to wipe any rice dust from the dock connector, and connect it to your wall charger. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes and then Reset it while it is connected to power. May take several tries. If it revives fully charge it.
If this does not work you can do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple for $199 USD.

I don't know what to do. It is only showing the apple icon. I've tried turning it on and off and it just stays on the icon. It also wont connect to my computer so I can;t restore it like I have been told to do. So should I take it into an apple store? Or is it a lost cause..??
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.

My phone will only show the apple icon and shut off.
My phone will only turn on for like 30 seconds, and then shuts off, and it won't sync to iTunes. When I took it to an AT&T store, they told me it just needed updated, but iTunes is not finding my phone when I plug it up. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Mine is doing the same thing - started two days ago. Yesterday it came back by itself literally whilst sitting on the table, but slow, finally returning to normal speed after about 3 hours, then locked and reverted to the apple symbol, where it's been for 24 hrs. Have tried all the things on the previous post's link. At a loss!!!!!

I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

My Iphone 4s just stopped during the latest update and now the screen show the Apple icon and an white bar beneath. I can no longer get anything to work on the phone!! Where to from here??
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
can't locate the serial number the phone only shows the apple icon I charged it. I will only show the apple icon?
If you decide that you want to Restore the iPhone Firmware then. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button for about another 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. If the iPhone screen is black this is good. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get Recovery Mode but the iPhone shows the iTunes screen you can try to Restore, but if it fails, do the instructions again until you get Recovery Mode with black iPhone screen.

My apple TV is not working. The light blinks but the TV only shows the apple picture and nothing happens. Any idea why?
James,
Thank you for the information. I did what you said but it is still not working. My apple box works with my wifi so I think the wife was disconnected and I can't figure out where to go to set up the wifi pass word for the apple box. Any hits would be appreciated if not my next step is to ship back the box to apple.
Thanks,

My Ipad device is only showing the apple icon nothing else is happening..what's wrong
How do I get my screen to come back on, it is only showing the apple icon.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

First, make sure iTunes is correctly installed. You may want to reinstall it.

If iTunes is installed correctly, hold down the volume down and sleep/wake buttons till you see the apple logo, then try again.
