Stuck with the Apple and nothing else

It seems many are having problems with the recent software update. Me too - can anyone help?
Following the update I am now stuck with the Apple sign. When I do a restore (Menu/Play) the apple sign dissaperars, then comes back and I am back where I started.
My computer no longer recognises my iPod either!
Any ideas?

The most likely solution, Angel, is to restore your iPod then re-sync with iTunes to load your songs on. See this:

  • When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

    okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Stuck with the apple and the scrolling gear while booting

    Hi there
    i am using my mac for more than 2 years , i did not format it or even fix any thing into it but now something bad happend...
    accdentaly my genius friend preesed the power putton for more than 5 seconds to start up the computer and i heared a sound and a the normal flashing light under the track pad and suddenly i was stuck with the apple gray booting screen and the scrooling gear and the computer does not go further .. i left for 2 hours and it still stuck with the same screen ... try to restart do any thing no results also ...
    NOTE: THE BIG PROPLEM IS THAT I PUT A PASSWORD FOR THE FRIMWARE AND I FORGOOT IT SO I CAN NOT USE THE FOLLWOING:
    1-the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
    2-the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
    3-the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
    4-Diagnostic volume of the Install DVD.
    5-mode by pressing the Command-S key combination during startup.
    6- a reset of Parameter RAM (PRAM) by pressing the Command-Option-P-R key combination during startup.
    Requires the password to use the Startup Manager, accessed by pressing the Option key during startup (see below).
    7- Safe mood.
    8-Single mode acsses and the other one i forrgot its name.
    SO I FIGURED THERE IS NO WAY BETER THAN THE PRIVIOUS WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROPLEM
    IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR ANY THING SO I CAN FIX THIS THING ?
    Thanks in advance >>>

    I was mistaken about the PMU..with a little more digging I found that Open Firmware password can be removed if you change the amount of memory installed.
    I found this info here: http://archive.macosxlabs.org/documentation/firmwaresecurity/faqs/faqs.html#remove_passwordprotection
    The following is a link from Apple's site to download the user's manual for your iBook:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG4(Mid2005)_UsersGuide.pdf
    It provides the instructions to add or remove memory from the machine. If you do have additional memory installed then you'll be able to remove the memory, and reset the PRAM, that way your password is gone. Hopefully from there we can figure out and fix your startup issue.

  • I just tried to install a the new update for my iPad and it started but now its stuck with the apple in the window and it won't finish the update

    My iPad is stuck with the apple and the updating line but it is not finishing the update and the iPad is stuck I can't shut it off nothing is working just the bright white apple in the window.

    Hi rm44,
    Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Home or Lock screen will display. Once the device is back up, go to Settings>General>About, and see what version is displaying. If it has the iOS number you were updating to, then you are all set.
    If it has the old iOS version number, then the update did not take place. The best thing to do in that situation is to hook the device up to iTunes on the computer you sync with, and to update via iTunes.
    Cheers,

  • HT1476 After update to either iOS 7.0.3 or 7.0.4, my iPhone 4S won't charge. I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.

    I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.
    I think it was the update the iOS 7.0.4 that I did last night. I woke up this morning with my battery almost drained and the charging function going off and on every few seconds, like it would start charging then disconnect, then reconnect repeatedly.
    I've tried restarting the phone and hard restarting the phone several times, but I'm getting really low on battery by now (under 20%).
    I've tried cleaning the connector with a little isopropyl alcohol, and blowing it out with compressed air. Though I can't be 100% certain, it's very unlikely my connector died exactly at the same time I was updating my phone. Especially since it appears I'm not the only one with this problem.
    And now, after the last hard reset, my phone doesn't even recognize the charger at all, or being connected with the USB cable to my MacBook Pro.
    I turned off my phone so when I go to the Apple Store it will power up one last time, but besides that I'm out of ideas.

    Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
    The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
    They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
    Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
    It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.

    If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key.  If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable.  If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
    good luck.

  • Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.

    Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

    1. Try forcing reboot by holding down the home button and power/sleep button at the same time until the screen restarts.
    -- IF THAT FAILS --
    Let the phone battery drain.

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.
