Apple Logo flashes every 5 seconds continuously

I removed my iPOD from the computer without first "ejecting" it and when I tried to turn it on the next morning, the screen showed the Do Not Disconnect symbol and Disc Mode. I was able to put it back on the computer and then ejected it properly and get the "Check Mark" to appear, but when I went to reset it, the apple logo appears on and off every 5 seconds and I cannot get it to stop. Any suggestions?

  • Apple logo blinking every 3 seconds - nothing to do with iphone

    Hi all!
    I was using my iPhone, with its battery more than 70%, but suddently it tuned off by itself. I tried restarting though on/off button and home button, but it didn't start. I tried recharging and it didn't work as well. When I tried to connect to iTunes, the phone was not detected as usual. Then, the screen only showed the apple logo blinking every 3 seconds. I also tried updating my itunes, yet it still had no effect. Any other advice how to solve this problem? Thanks.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at any Apple store.

  • IPhone 5 apple logo flashing when on charge.

    My iPhone 5 randomly turned off last night and I was unable to turn it on. I then plugged it into a charger and the apple logo appeared and then went again. This flashing has been happening continuously - black screen for 5 seconds, apple logo for 10 seconds.
    I found that if I held the power button 3 seconds, then also held the home button at the same time for ten seconds and the released the power button and held just the home button for another 10 seconds, the flashing stops and the screen goes black.
    However, the flashing only occurrs when my device is plugged in to charge, if it isn't it is just a black screen, no matter what buttons I press.
    I looked on the internet and they all say hold the power button and home button for 6/10/12/60 seconds, which does not help. Others say I have to restore it, but I havent backed up my phone in a while and all my important photos are on there that I do not want to lose. I then downloaded the software EaseUS MobiSaver which advertises that you can back up your phone even if it doesn't turn on. This also failed to work and the software cannot pick up that my iPhone is plugged in.
    Also iTunes only picks up my device when its in restore mode but says I have to restore it before I can do anything further on iTunes.
    Is there another way to fix it without restoring?
    Thank you and sorry for rambling.

    Hi there socko0603,
    At this point, the next troubleshooting step is to restore the device in iTunes, there is no way out of Recovery Mode without restoring. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • When i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. how can i stop it and turn on my ipod??????

    when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Qosmio G50 - HDD light flashes every second

    Okay, So here it is,
    I have a Qosmio G50. I have installed WindowXP Pro 64-bit.
    I have noticed that the hard drive light flashes every second. I have spent a bit of time looking on the net for a soultion. This led me to download a utility called 'process explorer' from microsoft.
    This utility show me that the active process is services.exe. The properties of this service suggest that it handles 'eventlog' and 'plugplay'
    I realise that I cannot switch of the event log, nor would I want to.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    The HDD led flashes always if there any data would be read from or written on the HDD.
    The service.exe (Service Control Manager) belongs to the Windows OS and its Microsoft background process which is needed and from my knowledge it cannot be disabled.
    Bye

  • 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.

  • Ipad cant be used - keeps flashing 'enter apple id password' every second

    Hi,
    I turned on my iPad 3 today and it is unusable.
    Every second it flashes up with the following - Sign in to iCloud.
    It wants me to enter an old apple ID that has been disabled.
    I cant sign in to make the flashing stop, and I can't do anything else as the flashing is continual every second.
    I have tried turning the iPad off, resetting by holding home and off button.
    I thought I would reset to factory settings and just lose my data but that isn't working either!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi SmithyfromBT,
    To be sure an old Apple ID does not keep popping up like that, use the steps in this previous thread to remove it -

  • My 16 GB iPhone 5 is stuck on a black screen. A white screen with the apple logo flashes occasionally. iTunes won't recognize the phone, and hard reboot failed. Can anyone help?

    I just bought a gently used 16 GB iPhone 5. I set the phone up earlier today with no issues at all, installing backup data from my iPhone 4, syncing the new phone to my iCould, setting up my new SIM card, etc.
    The phone was working fine (I was able to send and receive texts, use WiFi, manage apps, etc.) for the first hour or so. Then, without warning, it shut down. The screen is solid black, but every now and then it flashes white with the black apple logo.
    I tried multiple hard reboots — all failed.
    iTunes (on my MacBook Air, running Yosemite) is now unable to recognize the device, although it recognized it without issue earlier today.
    I live overseas, so going to an Apple store is a bit inconvenient. If I can trouble shoot this at home (and in English), it would be really helpful.
    Thank you in advance if you have any helpful tips or suggestions!

    Gregseymour-
    DO NOT STICK A PAPER CLIP IN THE HOLE!
    There are two holes.  One is a small one that has a microphone behind it.  A paper clip would probably ruin the microphone.  The other is a 1/8 inch hole where you plug in a headset.  A paper clip might short-circuit something.
    First connect the iPad to its wall charger for at least half an hour to be sure it has enough juice to get started.
    Then if the iPad does not wake up when either the Home or Sleep button is pressed, press and hold the Sleep button for several seconds and see if the Apple logo appears.  If it does, then your iPad has been turned off instead of merely being put to sleep.
    Beyond that, look for an iPad repair center.  The Apple Authorized Repair Centers may be more expensive.  If you want to try them, look at <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>.  There may be one in your city.

  • IPod will not start or reset, plugging in makes apple logo flash on and off

    My friend's iPod nano 3G won't turn on. In fact it won't do anything - I can't even reset it. When plugged it, it flashes the apple logo every 1.7 - 1.8 seconds. Suggestions?

    I had the exact same problem about 10 minutes ago. I was freaking out because I'm going on vacation soon and I was getting all worked up because none of my three power sources were charging it and it wasn't even turning on at all.
    I called Support and the automated phone person gave me these steps:
    1. Plug the iPod into the computer
    2. Set it down on a flat surface
    3. Take index fingers and hold menu and center button for about 5 seconds (it actually took me 20 seconds)
    It then connected to the computer and turned on. I don't know why trying to reset it normally didn't work but try this and I hope it helps!!
