3rd Generation Nano only gets Apple logo on main screen need a full reset?

Was just given a 3rd generation nano for one of my kids. I cannot seem to unlock it (apple logo only on screen). Need to reset. When I hold down menu and center button, it just goes back to apple logo. Am I out of luck?

Try manually forcing the iPod into disk mode using the instructions in this Apple support document and restoring it in iTunes.

Downloaded Air Supremacy game app and only get company logo or a black screen before the app closes and goes back to my home screen. Checked that iPad and game are latest versions of software and restarted the iPad still with no luck. Any suggestions.

Have you tried a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

7.1 update iphone 5s phone won't work apple logo and blue screen need help

My phone won't work after updating 7.1
Has apple logo with blue screen what to do

If you mean the iTunes logo and a usb cable, you need to connect the phone to a computer with iTunes on it. The device is in recovery mode.

2nd generation nano stuck on Apple logo

My 2nd generation nano is stuck on the Apple logo, although the logo does flash on and off every few seconds. It is possible to put the nano into disc mode and access its content through iTunes. I've tried "restore" and the process is completed to the point of saying the iPod is being restarted, and to wait for it to appear in the iTunes window. Unfortunately, it never shows up in iTunes and the iPod itself ends up back in the Apple-logo-flashing mode.
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the 5 R's as well as the suggested procedure in the link. Unfortunately, the problem persists.
One issue I've wondered about is whether or not a dead battery could play a part in this problem. It seemed that battery charge retention was becoming a issue for a while before this problem started. It's hard to know now if the battery is charged or not, as the iPod will only function in disc mode when it's attached to the computer through a USB link. When I attempt to charge the iPod through an adaptor and a wall outlet, the battery charge icon does not appear on the screen; then, as at all other times, the only thing that is visible on the iPod screen is the Apple logo. I don't see how the battery could be the only problem, however, since the iPod is recognized by the computer (iTunes) only when it's in disc mode.

HT201177 Only get Apple logo and system busy clock logo at startup. Mac won't boot up

Mac won't boot up. I only get the Apple logo and the "system busy" clock when I turn on my computer. Tried unplugging and restarting but to no avail.

Go to > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup and work thru all the setps in that article.

5th generation Ipod only shows apple logo, lights up, and restarts.

The iPod is stuck restarting and showing the apple logo. When I try to restore iPod, says "can't mount Ipod", already tried the Five R's. and I tried charging the battery to see if that was the problem, did not work. Computer sometimes recognizes ipod, but only in Disk mode.

Hi. try...
1. Deinstalling all iTunes / quicktime / updater. Reboot the PC and install all the software from the CD again. Then try a RESTORE.... if that doesn't work.
2. If you have access to another PC try the restore from there.... if that doesn't work.
3. Contact Apple for a replacement.
You'll find a few hits on the forum that talk about the ipod being formatted for Mac use and you have to restore to get it into a windows format. I had a replacement and info came with it from apple with this info.
I had a problem with restoring, along the lines of 'disk write error / firmware error, which I eventually fixed by installing the Belkin USB card. Once I was sure the ipod was working OK I tried installing the software and restoring on a few different PC's that I have access to. Unfortunately results were pretty inconclusive as to configs that worked / didn't work.

Restored in disk mode, reset and only get apple logo

Older 15gb IPOD(Docking Connector) frozen at the Apple Logo on start-up. I reset and went to disk mode. Ran updater and used system restore. Updater runs and I get a screen saying its complete and the IPOD is restarting....wait. IPOD screen changes to "OK to Disconnect" and stops. Waited 10 mins or so and then reset. IPOD screen resets and I get the scroll bar across the bottom. When it fills the screen blinks and it freezes at the apple logo. Reset with same results. I can still get to disk mode but that's it. Latest updater installed.......any ideas?

If you are unable to get the device into Disk Mode, it's likely that the iPod needs servicing. The Hard Drive is probably shot.

IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

3rd generation nano frozen and won't reset

I have a 3rd generation nano, that is about 3 weeks old. It is frozen and it won't reset. I've reset before with no problem, but for some reason it won't reset anymore. Any tips?

I've successfully reverted to 1.0.1 using information in the Mac OS thread. Go to:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1213. It has all the guidance you need to revert to 1.0.1. Below is part of my recent post within that thread.
"I downloaded the two 1.0.1 files (iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw" and "iPod_26.1.0.1.ipsw.signature) provided on this thread by "Alain Claude Cl..." (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1036653). Many thanks Alain. I followed his instructions, also in this thread, for installing them. I also found the posts from "sottil" (http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=1033843 ) to be extremely helpful.
Thanks to everyone in the thread who kept this topic going. Until Apple gets its act together and issues 1.0.3 or 1.0.2.1 or whatever, the only solution is to revert to 1.0.1 following the guidance in this thread.

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

Hey there,
A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
Hope this helps.
