Apple icon clicking on and off?!?!?!?

My nano froze and I was kindly pushed in the direction of restoring my nano on disk format...whcih I did and everything started working okay-ish! Then after going back to normal format the apple icon appeared and for a short while I had the normal screen, but the apple came back and has been clicking on and off ever since (I say clicking not flashing because I can actually hear the click when the icon goes off!!!)
I am really stuck now...the battery is charged, I have reset...reset....reset....restored on disk format....and still it isn't working!!!!!
Please someone help me!!!

jack...sounds lik the click wheel is almost in a permanently pressed state and it's making the Nano re-set? If you haven't used your one free call to ttech support, I'd use it now....if there's a defect, Apple will fix it.

from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent. So I turned my iphone off. My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over. If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ? meltdown? Please help.

Hello Raja,
Thank you so much for your response. I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested. Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution. Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded). This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-) Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s. Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone. Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received. Thank you kindly.

1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve it, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using this article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

The internal drive is malfunctioning. What backups do you have?

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn 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 device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Old Geezer needs HELP. clicking on and off and on and off

I have an ipod classic 80. It keeps clicking on and off and on and off. The little apple logo pops up on the screen when it comes on but then it shuts off again. I hear a faint "clicking" noise when it powers off. I tried pushing menu and select buttons and nothing happens. I'm old, aggravated, and sad. Please help the elderly !

I sent the following to someone else a few minutes ago. It may help you also:
Plug the iPod into your computer. Go to iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the restore button. This will delete everything from your iPod, so you will have to re-sync all movies, music, pictures, contacts and anything else you have on it. If you are using the disk-mode option, it will wipe all this data too, so be sure to back these files up before you embark on the restore procedure. This is all assuming that the iPod will mount and the clicking noise isn't what I think it may be; A failed hard drive.
If none of this works, and the hard drive has failed rather than the iPod just needing to be restored then it is almost certainly still under warranty (the 80gb Classic has only been around since last September so I think you qualify for repair).
And you can always work your way through the Apple hints at the following link:

If this doesn't resolve the problem, you should probably get in touch with Apple Support:

Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Clicking on and off

Hello,
I've had my iPod for about two months, and things have gone well so far, up until this. About a week ago I had a friend over who has an iPod (I have an iPod mini), her battery was dead, so she asked if she could plug in into my computer (using my connector) to charge it, I said no at first, as I had seen that it doesn't work or recognize another iPod if there are two- but she said that since she was just charging it, there'd be no problem.
Well since then, when I connect my mini to the computer it will either click on and off (between saying 'Do not disconnect' and just being on the main menu screen). Many times when it's connected, my iTunes will not even notice that it's there.
I was just wondering, is this because my friend connected hers to my computer? And if so, what can I do to fix it?
By the way- I've tried the whole "hold down menu and the middle button for 6-10 seconds" thing...but it doesn't change anything.

Ashley,
It's unlikely that connecting your friend's iPod to your computer caused this. You can connect multiple iPods to one computer, so I'm not sure where you've seen that you can't.
Try restoring your iPod to factory settings.

HT4623 iPhone apple logo goes on and off and is unresponsive

iPhone apple logo goes on and off and is unresponsive

It needs to be dried out. Stop using it.. don't turn it on. Put it in a zip lock bag with some rice or one of those packets of dessicant for a day or two. That might do it.

Ipod classic try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.

Ipod classic I try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
I can't reset and it doesn't show it charging. Not recognized by computer.
It was working just fine in my car, I stopped for an hour, and when I came back it just started the flashing thing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Reset it this way.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If it is still not working.
Then Restore it using iTunes
Good Luck!

Desktop icons blink on and off; computer won't boot

I was recently trying to view a quick time file on a dvd when I got the message that some components may be missing to view the file. I downloaded the components from Avid and put them into my quicktime folder (Library>>>Quicktime folder).
When that didn't work, I removed the older component that had been in the folder and tried to to view the DVD again. This time I was unable to even open Quicktime. I tried to return the "old" component back into the Quicktime folder, but kept getting an error message. Something along the lines of "an unexpected error occured."
I then attempted to reboot the computer. That's when the trouble really started.
My computer now gets to my desktop; all the icons blink on and off, and then the computer seems to try and try to start. I assume that the component I removed was in the start up sequence, but a) I don't know for sure, b) I, of course, can't get on to find out, and c) even if that is the problem, I don't know how to fix it without getting that error message.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any thoughts? All assistance will be HIGHLY appreciated. Thank you.
LHT

Restart your machine with the Command and S keys held down, and enter the following commands:
mount -uw /
mv /Library/QuickTime/ /Library/QuickTime_old/
exit
Your computer should then continue the startup sequence; if it finishes starting up, the components you installed were responsible for your issue. My own /Library/QuickTime/ folder is empty, so the folder doesn't contain anything critical.

Flash CS5 bug - clicking on and off "allow smoothing" in bitmap properties dialog crashes Flash

I had a situation where I was clicking on and off the allow smoothing checkbox in a bitmap properties dialog to observe the difference in appearance and that crashed Flash - Windows 7 Professional, Flash CS5 Professional 11.0.2.489, 8GB Ram - there seem to be a number of bugs like this because I've seen a number of cases in different places in Flash CS5 where doing something normal just crashes it. Kind of annoying when you are in the middle of something and haven't been saving your work every 5 seconds.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks
