Apple icon locked on a black screen on ipad2

within twenty four hours of upgrading to IOS7 my Ipad2 has locked up with the apple icon intermittantly flashing on and off on a black screen. I have tried every trick I know to reset the Ipad. The machine will not show a homescreen, will not show status of battery, nothing. The battery is now depleted.
I upgraded to the latest Itunes software immediately following the wifi download of IOS7 -
Any suggestions?

Try the following:
1. Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
2. Restore:

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome", chime, fan goes on, a light goes on on my Apple monitor and then nothing - black screen. Whats going on?

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome chime", fan comes on, a light comes on on my Apple moniter and then nothing - black screen. What,s going on?

what you describe as the "welcome chime" is the indicator that your Mac has passed the Power-On Self test, and if a suitable source of software can be found, booting is likely.
If the screen stays dark, the most likely explanation is a graphics card failure. But it could also be caused by a backlight failure in the LCD, so be sure you try shining a bright light at the screen to be check whether the picture is there, but just not illuminated.
Graphics card failure will end the boot-up process in some cases, and not have an impact in others. Two external indications you can use when your display is not working are: The Caps Lock key, which is under the control of Mac OS X, and the Control-Eject dialog box shown below. Note that the default is Shutdown, so a Mac that shuts down in response to Control-Eject followed by Return is working fine.

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

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 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.

Hi Lisa 1952,
What have you done so far to try to fix it? I've tried rebooting several times and it did not work. Tried connecting to iTines but it does not recognize the iPhone.
My other iPhone 4s restarted successfully after the updgrade but some apps don't function properly. It automatically closes while in use.
Apple please help. I know it's the weekend but I need the other iPhone to work. Can't use sim with a diffrent phone because it's a micro sim!

So, after my iPod touch died, i plugged it into the computer to try and charge it, and now it keeps changing between the charging screen, the apple logo, and a blank black screen, still hasn't charged, and its been plugged in for almost an hour now

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

When I click the camera icon I get a black screen. Any ideas?

Brand new iPod... When I click on the camera icon, I get a back screen. Should I return it?

First try a reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If that didn't work, then take it back and they will replace it

Flashing apple icon on ipod start up screen

so my brothers ipod ran out of power completly while watching a movie on it.
when he plugged it into his computer all it did was show the apple icon and flash on and off, its not charging and teh computer wont recognize it.
ideas ?

you could try reseting the ipod. not sure if it will fix the problem but that is what i do when my ipod is not working and it always fixes the problem

Won't boot, Caps Lock light blinking, black screen, tried everything I could.

Hello!This is a problem that even made me scratch my head. It started two days ago: blinking light, black screen etc. (It was double-blinking, which mean't BIOS corruption). I looked around the HP forums for help and tried what I could find (keyboard combination, making a recovery disc out of a memory stick, which failed), but nothing worked. This sorta thing has happened before, but somehow it managed to revive itself, so naturally I ignored it, because I didn't expect what was to happen next, which is right now. Incase I can't get any help from here, I'm gonna buy an new motherboard, but what I am really expecting for is that the fix will not hurt my wallet and not buying a new motherboard. Hoping to get a response as soon as possible and not this to be overlooked. Perhaps this post will help other people in the future (Who knows?). Anyway, thank you for your attention.

Hi , Thank you all for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-7000sy Notebook and startup issues. Here is a link to computer will not start. I would start at the top and work my way down. Mine was fixed with reseating the HDD. Others have had it fixed with just reseating the Memory. Here is a video that shows you how to remove and reseat the HDD and memory. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Which has helped others as it restores the default settings. If you should get the system started again, I would run the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics, It will tell you if something is failing. I hope something here helps any one of you fix the Notebook. Thanks.

I have an IPhone 3Gs and the IOS 6 locked up my phone 100% whats my next move? wont turn on just the apple and download bar or black screen thats my only options at this point? HELP!

I downloaded the new IOS 6 on my IPhone 3Gs as it prompted me to do so. so that took 45 mins then told me to connect to Itunes in which i did, then it took 39 mins for itunes to "restore" my phone and after the 39 mins it told me Apple unable to restore IPhone and shut me out. Next a screen popped up on my computer screen and said that i could report the problem to Apple if i wanted to. But at this point my phone is completly locked out. So all i get from my phone right now is the Apple on the screen and the download bar under it and or a block screen if i unplug it and the battery dies. which when i did the upgrade my phone was just off a fresh charge! i need help like ASAP i leave out of town on thursday it is monday and i need a phone with GPS and that can make calls! i am pregnate and have a 2 year old i am traving with and we have no house phone so my phone is very important! THANKS!

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

I just got the 7.0.3 upgrade and my phone is locked on a black screen with a blue itunes circle and the end of a usb cord on it. i assumed this meant sync with itunes which i tried and pressed reset and itunes says theres an error how do i fix this

You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.

HT1349 iPhone 4s has totally locked up with black screen. No buttons respond. Prior to this trying to initiate a text message, the onscreen keyboard would not respond. tried other functions which led to overall black screen, no response to any buttons

iPhone 4s has locked up with no response to any buttons. First occurrence on a 1+ month old iPhone

Have you tried a very basic troubleshooting step well-outlined in the User Guide called reset? Hold the on/off switch and the home button togeter (usually around 30 seconds) and don't let go until you see the Apple logo.
I highly recommend reading the User Guide to learn about other general troubleshooting steps.

When plugged into wall, iPhone 4 says to restore at iTunes. When plugged into PC the apple icon flashes 10 seconds and screen goes blank 10 seconds. The device never shows in iTunes. How do I restore?

I need to restore my iPhone 4 in iTunes. I get this message when it is plugged into the wall. When I plug it into the PC it doesn't stay on long enough for recognition. How do I restore?

Sorry, disregard the last response; I can't edit it. You should dry it BEFORE trying different cables. The safest way to go about this is dry your iPhone inside-out and to not turn it on until it's dry. Maybe there is a little moisture stuck inside preventing it from booting, but if you're lucky, it's not permanently damaged. The best way I've heard of to dry it is to leave it overnight in a tight bag with dry rice or, better yet, silica packets (those anti-moisture things found in packaged items). Maybe longer if you want to be extra safe. If it still doesn't charge without the Apple logo flashing, try using different Lightning to USB cables. Maybe it's just a bad cable, but you shouldn't test that until you've dried your phone.
