Apple logo appears but won't proceed to main menu screen

My video ipod recently went unresponsive. I have completed the 5R's numerous times. I am still able to put my ipod in disk mode and it is appears in itunes when I do so. However when it appears in itunes a message pops up saying that the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored to original settings. I have restored the ipod to its original settings several times. However when it is finished restoring, I have to change the ipod from disk mode by pressing the select and menu button at the same time. When I do this after a restore the apple logo will appear and then a small bar at the bottom of the ipod screen will show up as if it were downloading something. Once the "download" on the ipod is complete my ipod will restart the apple logo will show and then nothing. I have tried formatting my ipod through windows. Only the quick formatting works. PLEASE HELP!!!!! What am I doing wrong? Would it have anything to do with my firewall settings or a virus on my computer? Or is the hard drive shot on my ipod?

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

  • I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

    I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
    Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.

  • I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

    I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

    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.

    when i start my ipad 3 the apple logo appears but then a loading bar appears and it stucks i have restarted it but nothing is happening pleeeeease help me! i love my ipad sooo much.....!!!

    Try this first.
    Reboot 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.
    If that does not help, you may have to restore your iPad.

  • My ipad won't start up. it's less than 1 year old.  I've tried plugging it in and pressing the start button.  the apple logo appears but then disappears and nothing else happens.

    My IPad shut down this afternoon and now it won't start up.  It's less than 1 year old.  I tried plugging it in and pressing the on/off button.  After holding the button in for several seconds, the Apple icon appears, but then disappears. 

    First, try this:
    Plug it in to the wall using an Apple charger and Apple cable for several hours.  The idea is to fully charge it.
    Then hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds.  Hopefully the Apple logo will appear and it will start.  Do not release the buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    If it starts, great.  If not, you say your iPad is less than a year old.  If you bought it brand new from an Apple Store or Authorized Apple vendor, it is under warranty.  Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for diagnosis and repair.

  • I have an iphone 4 . A new screen has been fitted front and back. It suffered a bit of a bang. Now when the phone is turned on the apple logo appears but nothing more  . Could there be a problem elsewhere ? Other than smashed screen? Any ideas welcome

    I have an iphone 4 . It's had a new front and back screen fitted after a bit of a bang . Now when turned on the apple logo appears on the screen and then goes off. Then appears again etc etc etc .
    It won't go any further . Any ideas as to what else may be an issue or has anyone else had the same problem and what was the outcome . If I back up to iTunes will I be able to back up my information without any activity showing on the screen !! I'm lost without all my information . I haven't backed up to iCloud for at least 5 months. Can anyone help me PLEASE?????

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • My phone went blank.  It still had 41% battery life.  I have tried to reset by holding down the sleep button and botton on top until the Apple Icon appears but then after that, nothing.  Any ideas?

    I had just checked my phone and it had 41% battery life left. A few minutes later, it simply went blank and won't do anything. I tried reseting it by pushing down on the wake/sleep button and the button on top until the Apple logo appeared, but that didn't help.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • I got my iPhone stolen at a party, the next day my friend gave me back my iPhone 4s and he said that it was jailbroken. Now it will not turn on. When i plug it in to a charger, the apple logo appears for about ten second, then connect to iTunes stays on.

    Hello, i have a question on my iphone 4s. I went to a party a few days ago and it had gotten stolen. The next day my friend said that he had found it and it was jaibroken? The phone was on 1 % when i had recieved it. It then died and i plugged it in to the charger. When i plugged it in the apple logo appeared as if it was starting but, it wasnt. The apple logo appeared for about ten seconds and then the screen went black. After that, the connect to itunes screen popped up and will not go away. So now when i take it off of the charger the screen just stays black and wont turn on? I tried connecting it to itunes and restoring it. But it wont even show my phone any more on the side of itunes. I tried restoring it and an error had occured (2001). I have looked up on youtube how to fix this problem and non of them have helped or worked. Its my only phone and i cant even text my girlfriend which bothers me terribly!! Please help me ASAP!!

    The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
    You're on your own.  Good luck.
