Re: Stuck on apple symbol/ won't charge

Hi,
Recently I've had a problem where my iPod Touch has been stuck on the apple symbol. I took the advice of people and tried putting it in recovery mode, but nothing happened (when i pressed restart it did nothing). However, today I tried restart again and it did restart (the screen went black), but then it went onto the low battery symbol. This has now happened every time i restart it. Because it's on low battery it mean I can't carry on with putting it in recovery mode (i.e holding down the home button). I have tried charging it loads, but it still doesn't work
Please help!
Thanks.

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 another cable
- 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.

    Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
    Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
    No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
    Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

    i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

    Hi,
    Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
    1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    3. Power 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 the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
    4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
    Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
    5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
    6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
    Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
    Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
    **** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
    THANKS

  • I purchased a Mac book pro in oct 2011, I restarted it after updating and it,s stuck on apple symbol, I hit command R while restarting and clicked on disk utility. It says disk can't be repaired, apple wants $249 to tell me what's wrong. Please help!

    What Apple store told you they wanted $249.00 to tell what is wrong?
    If this is a 13" Macbook Pro then that is the cost of the Extended Applecare warranty. As you are outside the 90 days of Free Phone Support then what Apple told you is that to get Phone Support you would either need to pay $45 per phone call or pay $249.00 for the Applecare extended warranty which comes with 3 years Free Phone Support from date of purchase.
    Or you can take it to a Apple Genius Bar and have them look at it for Free.
    Every Mac comes with 1 year warranty and includes only 90 days of phone support. You can buy the extended Applecare warranty anytime within the first year of ownership, IE until the 1 year warranty runs out.
    I suggest you have your computer looked at by either an Apple Authorized Repair Center or Genius Bar and then before the 1 year warranty runs out buying the extended warranty

  • While updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

    while updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

    - What was the error message?
    - Try closing iTunes and then disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then reconnect the iPod.  If the iPod shows in iTunes then you can try again.  However, You should try to resolve the error message first.
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod try reetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - I recommend that you come back with the what the error message said and the condition of the iPod and if it is visible in iTunes.

  • Apple Newton Won't Charge

    I just sold this apple newton on Ebay and I went to go test it before shipping, and now it won't charge the new refurbished battery pack I got for it. It says "Fault" instead of "Charging". A window popped up saying the newton was receiving too much power. Is it likely that my factory power supply has gone bad, or is it probably an issue with the rebuilt battery?

    I just had the same problem with my newly attained eMate, I'm a returning Newton OS user.
    What happened was the same fault issue is that game me the same popup alert saying it was getting too much power. I used a third party party adapter that came with a MessagePad 2000 which worked fine with it, but when I used it on the eMate, it gave me that fault and error message. The eMate with the Newton adapter it came with gave me a great battery charge of 8 hours, but when I used the third party adapter, 9V, it like confused the battery and lasted only about an hour or less.
    Then I used that third party adapter with the MessagePad again and it would restart the MP and eventually NOT turn on again! I was puzzled so I left the MP2K unplugged overnight with worn out battery also removed. Then I took that 3rd party adapter and plugged it in, and restarted and all is fine.
    If you are using a Newton OEM power adapter, maybe it went bad, try using another one. But then again, maybe the batteries they used for the new refurbished battery require that sort of overnight power resetting if thats what its called.
    I'm just sharing my experience so that it may help you in someway.

  • IPod mini screen is frozen as either apple symbol or external charge screen

    Hey,
    Just a little problem here; I can't make my iPod mini (old and gold) play music, readable by the computer, or anything useful. I tried the 5 R's and after changing the mini to disk mode it asked to be charged externally. I bought an external charger, but it will not remove the screen of the Apple symbol or the external charger. When unplugged, it refuses to turn on, except it will show these two screens when you attempt to restart it. Also, I tried many ports on this computer, a new USB wire, and anything I could find in six hours of searching online in support...How do I make this problem disappear without using the my expired warranty?
    Much appreciated,
    Tom

  • My iPod Classic is stuck in disk mode, won't charge on a wall mount, iTunes won't recognize it, and it got this way from me trying to restore it like it said. What do I do now?

    So, I tried to restore my iPod to the factory settings via iTunes. It has been a few days now and its still stuck in disk mode telling me "Do Not Disconnect" and it only charges on my laptop. I tried hooking it up to a wall mount to charge and than it told me that I need to use iTunes to restore it. Here's the thing, it won't leave disk mode and its not registering on my iTunes. What can I do to get it back to normal,
    Oh yeah, all of the latest updates for my software and iTunes are current.

    Mee too!

  • IPod nano stuck on Apple logo; won't boot.

    I have an iPod nano that seems to charge, but won't boot. There's no sad iPod logo or anything, just the Apple logo. I can boot it into diagnostics mode, and it seems to be fine. However, it won't go into disc mode.
    Any advice?

    This tread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=723183) is about the same problem you're having. At some point it's said:
    "Hold down Select / Menu (to reboot the iPod)
    As soon as the Apple logo appears, hold down Rewind / Select until...
    ...you see a backwards Apple Logo.
    At this point, you will have entered Diagnostic Mode. It'll test the RAM, and then tell you to HIT PLAY TO CONTINUE. Hit 'Play'.
    You'll be in a menu that you advance by hitting FF (Fast Forward). Advance to the 'DISKMODE' entry.
    Hit 'Select.' This will put you into Firewire Disk mode. The screen should change to the familiar 'Do Not Disconnect' mode. At this point, connect it to the computer.
    Run the restore utility; it should now recognize the iPod and offer to Restore the factory software. Do so. You'll lose whatever's on it, but you'll avoid having to send it back in to Apple and paying repair fee."

  • Attempting safe boot--gray screen stuck with apple symbol--

    So, left Imac on over weekend with Itunes playing in continuous mode--when I got home (about 36 hrs later) the screen was good but Itunes had locked up and was the Imac was making a stuttering sound (not like a hard drive clicking but like the songs were stuck).  The mouse was frozen but the arrow was visible--only way I could get out was to use the power button to force it to shut down.  Since then, I get the gray screen when it boots (not using any shortcut keys during reboot) and it sticks there with the eventual appearance of the perpetual spinning circle under it.  When I boot using all the tricks I can think of, safe boot (hoping to get to safe mode) I get everything from a gray screen with the apple but w/o the spinning circle (that's from safe boot attempt) to choosing the drive to boot from which reveals a text message that instructs me to reboot and another effort gives a page long text of information that begins with "kernel fail" laid over a gray screen w/o the apple logo, and several other options result in the screen staying black.  One screen asked me to type "mac-boot" and enter but nothing new happened.  Once I got the screen to come up solid gray with a single black line (running the width of the screen horizontally) about 2/3 from the top of the screen.  I have tried booting with every peripheral removed (even tried it with multiple keyboards and mice--even w/o a mouse and keyboard).  Tried the PRAM and SMC.  The dvd drive is non-functional and has been for more than a year--(different issue) it won't even open (it's the Imac with the pod base and 15 inch screen all in one look from a few years ago)--just wanted to let that be known because I can't put the OS disk in--it's been upgraded to Lion from the original Panther--I think? 
    Anyway, looking for solutions, ideas etc...Thank you.

    I had that same thing happen to me when I was updating my iPhone to iOS 5! What I did was I just kept resetting and resetting and holding down the home and power buttons until 3 in the morning. (ok, maybe it was only midnight but it sure FELT like 3 AM!) Anyway, I would just keep at it until it decides it wants to cooperate. Mine eventually did.

  • IPhone 6 plus stuck with apple logo, won't turn off!

    I got my new iPhone 6 plus today. I set it up as a new phone I couldn't restore from backup as I needed iOS 8.1 to restore the backup of my 5s.
    So after upgrading to 8.1 I reset my 6 plus to restore the backup and now its stuck on the apple logo.
    I can't turn it off to get it into recovery mode, I've tried holding the home and power buttons, the device appears to restart, after a few minutes it flashes on a red screen for a split second then its back to the apple logo. I've restarted multiple times and same thing keeps happening.
    iTunes won't recognise the device so I'm really at a loss to what I can do from here. Can't get into my local Apple genius bar until Wednesday and I'd really like it sorted before that.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Hi there thatgurlwho,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device isn't booting past the Apple Logo.

  • IPad 2 stuck on apple logo and not charging but keeps rebooting without getting to the lock screed

    My iPad 2 ran out of battery last night while I was playing a game on it, it keeps attempting to reboot but only gets as far as the apple logo before powering off, displaying low battery screen and rebooting again,  it has been on it's charger all night, I have tried resetting it but it just starts up again, can anyone tell me how to force it to shut down so it can try to charge before i try it again? (I can't get to the lock or the screen and pressing the power button and the home button together won't work) I thought the charger/cable may have been the problem but no cable or charger seems to work.
    It doesn't seem to matter to it if it's connected to a computer or not

    I am having the exact same problem!! did anyone figure anything out with this?!?!?!
    it just keeps trying to reboot and it only gets as far as the logo then it'll reboot again!!

  • IPad stuck on Apple logo - won't recover/restore

    Hi guys,
    Sorry if this seems like a repeat question, but I've just spent several hours looking through previous solutions to similar questions and none of them have worked for me.
    My iPad was working fine until last night, when it mysteriously reverted to the black start-up screen with the Apple logo and refused to budge.
    I have managed to get it into recovery mode several times, and each time the process appears to be working at first - but as soon as I get to "Waiting for iPad", the screen freezes up again, this time with a grey bar below the Apple logo that's stuck on 0%. Still no action after leaving it this way for several hours.
    I've tried every recommended solution I can find (short of taking it to the Apple store, but I'm currently travelling overseas) but nothing seems to work.
    Any thoughts?

    Try the following:
    1. Reset
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
    2. Restore:
