Apple Icon won't go but home button broken

I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  It has the apple logo stuck and won't go any further.  I can't use the start button and home button to reset as the home button no longer works.  I've tried plugging it into the pc but it will not connect.  Any ideas?

Try:                           
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and                                           
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC       
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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.

  • HT1267 iphone only showing the apple icon I have done the home button with the sleep to restart it but it's not doing anything

    can't locate the serial number the phone only shows the apple icon I charged it. I will only show the apple icon?

    If you decide that you want to Restore the iPhone Firmware then. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button for about another 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. If the iPhone screen is black this is good. Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you get Recovery Mode but the iPhone shows the iTunes screen you can try to Restore, but if it fails, do the instructions again until you get Recovery Mode with black iPhone screen.

  • Iphone5 stuck. Won't go past Apple logo. Sleep/wake and home button together don't help. Connecting to iTunes also does not wo

    MY iphone5 is stuck on apple logo. Sleep/wake and home button together don't work and connecting to iTunes doesn't either. Anyone any ideas

    You need to hold both those buttons down for several seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Don't release until then.

  • Why does my 4s keep returning tot the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the home button to see the lock screen?

    3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
    Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?

    Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
    I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
    I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ).

  • HT4352 My Apple TV won't identify my home sharing

    What do I do when my Apple TV won't identify my home sharing on my computer

    you check the computers firewall
    and if your router are blocking some ports shared lib rely on
    you can troubleshoot by connecting another computer to your network and see if that can access
    the shared itunes lib

  • Is it an idea for Apple to create a fingerprint-scanning home button?

    Is it an idea for Apple to create a fingerprint-scanning home button, so the owner can get in without code? And if other people wants in on the iPhone, they need to be added for fingerprint scan, or given the usual 4 number code or the password.
    I personally think so, and how cool would'nt it be to see it in a future iPad, iPhone or iPod?

  • Does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    Yes.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Iphone frozen on apple icon, won't start up

    Installing an update to an ap and it froze up. Turned iphone off and when I tried to turn back on it's frozen on the apple icon and won't do anything.

    First thing to try is hold down the home and power buttons for around 30 seconds until the screen turns black and the apple reappears. When it reappears release the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, connect the device to iTunes. And then... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • My Ipod won't turn on & home button is broken

    Okay so the home button on my Ipod 4th generation 32gb stopped working, but i found the assisted navigation thing which helps me use my ipod without the home button. However, today i had my ipod plugged into my computer to download music and when i finished it was all good n dandy, however my ipod just suddenly turned off and it won't come on again!
    I've looked around and people have said to hold down the power and home button for 10 secs then it will turn on - but only one problem, my home button is broken.
    Is there anything else I can do that will fix it?
    HELP

    - Try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring via iTunes.
    - If not successful see if this program will get the iPod in recovery mode so you can restore it.

  • Profile Manager - Remove icons in ipad and disable home button

    Hello,
    First of all sorry for my bad english.
    Im working on a project, installed LION Server with Profile Manager configured, also Enrolled my iPad, i can also push the settings in to the ipad.
    But now what i realy want, what the meaning of the project is; remove all of the icons and place only one icon (WEBCLIP) and what even will be beter is, when i boot my iPad the webclip popups by default. Is this possible guys?
    Thank you!

    It's impossible to develop an iPad app that can't be closed until some actions are done.  The iPad programmer cannot override what happens when the user presses the 'Home' button.  The 'Home' button will always tell the front application to go to the background, and if that application doesn't cooperate within a reasonable time it will be terminated.
    Bear in mind that an iPad is an overgrown iPhone.  It's always possible that someone will phone you up when you're running an app, and the app must release control and let you answer that phonecall.
    I suggest you discuss the design philosophy with whoever wants the application, remembering that computers are meant to help us do what we want to do, not boss us about.

  • IPod Touch 5 won't turn on and home button broken

    Hello,
    So my iPod Touch 5 has been having accumulating issues lately. I've only experienced this issue once before about a year ago. My iPod Touch goes into a state where it can't be turned on by the power button. I've looked up solutions online several times. While the next best thing for me to do is to hold the power button along with the home button in order to restart it, my home button has been jammed for about a year now. I've been using assistive touch for a long time. The iPod does not respond to being charged nor being plugged into my computer. I've had to wait until the battery completely ran out before I could start charging and using it again. This issue has been occurring more and more often, and it's really hindering my ability to keep up with emails, games, and many school-related projects.
    I've had this iPod Touch 5 for about 1.5 years now. The home button being jammed was an issue that occurred during the original 12-month warranty that came with buying the product back in the summer of 2013. I thought it was alright to just go with assistive touch for a while, but the jammed button became an issue that just became worse and worse until the button cannot even be pressed anymore. By this time, the 12-month warranty period was over. (This is the 2nd Apple product I've had power/sleep button issues with.)
    I live in Chicago, and the cold weather is starting to set in. However, it was still over ~25 degrees F when this happened. I feel that this issue is not so much weather related because it has happened to me twice during comfortable summer weather.
    I have a feeling that I may have to go in to the Apple Store in order to get help with this, but the potential repair or replacement fee is probably going to be terribly high. Any ways I can prepare for this visit before going in? Is there anything else I can do at home to get my iPod to live its life again?

    My home button broke too after 13 months. The iPod's been lagging and slowing down a lot but for a $300 device, it shouldn't be breaking after a year. Just today it was working ok but then all of a sudden it's not turning on, its not responding to the power button, being charged, or being plugged into the computer, don't know what to do either

  • Not enough storage error - locked up ipad - tried common fix but home button is inop as well...

    My home button quit working before my ipad was a year old and I have been dealing with the inconvenience by using the five finger reduction method to get out of apps.   Now I have this error for not enough storage and I can't reboot.  What do I do?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • My Ipod Touch 5's home button is stuck. What do I do? Do I go to the apple store and get a new home button? Or do I need to replace the entire Ipod?

    I got my Ipod around last December and now it's July. I've been using my Ipod constantly. I've never had a problem with it, until last night. At first, my home button wasn't responding as quickly as it usually does. Then, it stopped working all together. I tried pushing my finger down on it as hard as I could but it still was stuck. Please help. Thank you for listening.
