Apple logo interrupts usage CONSTANTLY

I just got an iPod replacement last week when the jack on my first one went bad. This new one has some issues though, because a lot of the time when I am listening to a song and use the click wheel or buttons to make a move, the apple logo appears, my music goes off, and I have to wait 10 or so seconds and then scroll all the back through the menu to get to what I was listening to. It does this probably 75% of the time that I touch any button or the click wheel. Sometimes I don't even have to touch a button for the stupid logo to appear. I tried resetting, but that was pointless.
Any ideas on what this is about?

This just happened to mine too!
this first happenned after I updated my iPod mini with the current updater (January 2006). Some songs just didn't play and it restarted itself everytime I tried to play those songs. This was annoying so I tried restoring it with the older version of updater (which was in my labtop) and it's OK. But everytime I connect my iPod with my PC, there was a ~ new updater available~, so I decided to give it a try and I updated my iPod again. And the problem occurred yet again! So I restored it using the new version of updater and it's OK for one or two days and just an hour ago I noticed there was something wrong again. Just the same.
I HATE this. There must be something wrong with the new version of updater. It take a lot of time to put songs in my iPod..
Anybody knows what the problem is??? Please correct it!
I don't want to restore my iPod again and again.
(and I just erased the old updater in my labtop yesterday.... how sad..)

If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

Apple logo freeze

have an apple iphone 3GS. The phone freezes on the IOS bootup ( apple logo remains on constantly)
When plugged into a computer with the latest version of iTunes, the computers does not recognize the Phone.
iTunes will recognize other iphone that do not have this problem. Turning the phone off, then plugging it into the computer
does not solve the problem because the phone starts up automatically, then freezes on the boot up (Apple Logo).
Doesn t appear to be a power problem, as the phone was charged, and the screen can stay on the Apple logo for more than 30 min.
Any suggestions??
Pt

There isn't a lot you can do from this point and you may have tried it all. I'll run through a quick list and if none of it works you'll want to see about backing up your data and then doing an erase and install. Here's the list:
1. Disconnect all peripheral devices (including things like ethernet cables), except for the Apple keyboard and mouse, and display (if it's not a built in). Does it work? If so then it may be some conflict with the one of the devices that were connected. Try them all one by one and see if the issue repeats itself when one is connected.
2. Remove any extra RAM that may be installed and try running it with different combinations of RAM (if you have more than one RAM stick). If you find it only happens when a certain RAM stick is installed, then replace that RAM stick.
3. Boot the install disk and run disk utility. You said you've done this but check out this article in case you missed a step or something. It never hurts to double-check.
4. Reset your PMU. I think this is the article for your iMac. If not search the Apple Support pages for reset PMU.
That's about all I can think of that may solve the issue. If you do need to do an erase and install then start up the computer while holding down the Option key. This takes you to the Startup Manager. If you see your hard drive in here then you should be able to use Target Disk Mode to back up your computer. If not then you'll probably want to take it in and have someone do it for you.
And here's the instructions for an Erase and Install.

My iPad constantly turns off and restarts, showing the apple logo on the screen. How do I fix this?

My iPad constantly shuts down, then restarts showing the apple logo. This happens over and over. I have tries resetting and restarting. What to do next?

Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Ipod touch wont switch on and constantly only shows the apple logo screen

ipod touch wont switch on and constantly only shows the apple logo screen. Have tried to reset by holding both buttons down but hasnt worked. it also doesnt appear on itunes.

Hvae you tried:
- Reseting the iPod and then try restoreing the iPod
- Placing the iPod in recovory mode and then restoring the iPOd. For recovery mode see:

Ipod touch 3rd Gen not fully starting up - constantly restarting with the apple logo screen

Hi,
First of all, I cannot get my ipod touch (3rd Gen) to start up so I cannot get model specifics and version numbers - though it is iOS 5.1.1
I have obviously tried to restart it by holding the power and home button for 10 secs but this has not done anything.
At the moment, the ipod switches on and I see the black screen with the white apple logo - this stays on for about 3 minutes, then I get the little spinning circle (but it isn't spinning) for a couple of minutes, before it powers off and does this again... repeatedly. It only stopped because the battery power ran out.
I have connected it to my computer with the latest version of itunes - it appears in the devices list but just has a spinning 'loading' icon and is grayed out. As my ipod restarts the cycle again as above, my computer makes the noise as if i just plugged it back in and the above happens again in itunes.
The problem began when I updated apps (through update apps in app store) and it froze - I turned the ipod off to restart it, and now this is happening.
Any help or advice extremely grateful... I can't even access it to get it restored which is a bit of a problem as I have work notes on it. (Obviously I don't know if notes are backed up on ipod backups through itunes?)
Many, many thanks in advance!

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.

Apple logo constantly flashing after installation of IOS 7 on iPhone 4

My iPhone 4 (Version IOS 5.1.1) was updated to version 7.1. After installation, the iphone screen has been showing constant flashing of the apple logo - every 5 seconds or so. How do I fix this?

Hello there, SoftDr1nk.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great, practical steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Constantly rebooting with Apple logo

Hello.
I bought a 30GB iPod video last week and it has been working fine for all of 5 days.
I got a few new CD's today and imported them into iTunes, I then updated my iPod as usual by plugging it into the USB wire supplied with it.
It updated and finished, Windows then made the USB disconnect tone thingy but I hadn't removed it. I unplugged it and it was re-booting itself (The white apple logo shows up against the black background) It carried on switching on and off rebooting but never getting past the apple logo.
I've let it run out of power, tried resetting it but it just does the same.
Do I need to return it?
Thanks very much, Floonds.

ok, if the ipod keeps rebooting to the apple logo and you have tried to restore the ipod try this,
(even if some of the steps are steps that you have already tried, you know that with any electronic device resetting make take a few tries : ))
1. reset ipod
2. wether ipod resets or not the next step is to put the ipod in disk mode
and then restore the ipod
3. if steps 1 and 2 fail then go get it repaired or replaced

Iam un able to power up iPhone 4s. Apple logo flashes constantly at a slow rate when plugged in to computer

My iPhone 4s will not power up. It only shows a black screen with the apple logo that flashes slowly when i plug in to the computer. Unable to do a reset.

Howdy sskw,
You state you can't get past the Apple logo on the iPhone and have tried a reset. Have you also tried recovery mode?
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Best,
Nubz

Ios 7.1 update interrupted, phone stuck with apple logo

My husband just bought a new 5s today and was updating to ios 7.1 while plugged into his Mac. He knocked the phone off the desk as it was updating and it came unplugged. Now the phone is stuck with the apple logo on the screen with the progress bar below it. He can't shut it off and iTunes doesn't recognize it when he plugged it back in.
What should we try in order to restore it to functioning again?
He's pretty p*ssed at himself right now and is phone less. Not real pleasant around here. <g>
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Paula

Try this:
Connect the phone to the computer. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes black and then the Apple logo reappears. At this point, release the power button but continue holding the home button. iTunes should pop up telling you it detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode. Follow the prompts to restore.

IMac 27" does not show "apple logo" on boot, keeps on restarting.

Hello there is something wrong with my girlfriend's iMac.
She has the iMac 27" 2.8GHz, Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM
She bought it two days ago, it gave her problems last night (after less than a day of usage), when she tried to call the call center, it was closed. We're bringing it down to the nearest service centre tomorrow but in the mean time I want to see if I can get any help here.
What happened was: She was using it and the screen suddenly turned white half way. Nothing else was on the screen, just one entire white patch. Not even the cursor showed up. So she decided to force shut-down. But when she started it up again, she couldn't even get to the screen which showed the apple logo. The iMac just continued restarting itself, giving me the start up sound, the "boonngggg" sound that all Macs give when they boot up.
The situations is similar to holding Command-Option-R-P (resetting PRAM) but this time the iMac doesn't even get to the apple logo, and if it's powered on, the restarting continues on its own.
I have surfed the web quite a bit and haven't found a problem similar to this one (except some which suggest Logic Board failure).
What can I do now?

You can't do anything now, if you purhcased it directly from Apple contact them immediately and advise them of the problem. They will allow her to return for exchange however they will need to run it through diagnostics first. The other avenue with them is to return for refund and then re-order however this is more time consuming because she will not receive a credit until the old machine is returned.
Also she can call AppleCare in the morning and they can also try some diagnostics.
Finally she can run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode to see if there are any hardware problems.

My mac won't turn on again, it just shows the apple logo and some code

My mac was freezing up a bit while trying to get onto lanaboards.com so I decided to restart it. I figured i might as well update it at the same time. So i did that and chose the restart option that comes up when you update. It seemed like the update went through, but then it told me that it couldn't update but i was asked if i wanted to restart it, so i did. For some reason it didn't restart for a couple of minutes so i turned it off by pressing the on/off button. When i turned it back on it made the sound and then the grey background with the Apple logo appeared. Suddenly this code comes up using the word "panic" a couple of times. I'm not gonna type the whole thing cause it's kina long. It also says "Mac OS version: not yet set" (maybe cause i tried to update?) and "Kernel version: David Kernel version 12.2.1" It also says "debugger called: <panic>"
I won't be able to get it to the apple store for a week because everything closes down on thursday because of Easter and the buses seem to not go tomorrow and no one can drive me. I hope there's something i can do cause i have an important exam (100% of my grade) in two weeks so I'm freaking out a bit here. I also have some stuff due next week that just went up.
I really hope someone can help me, or at least know what may be the problem.
PS. I'm not 100% sure which operating system I have so i chose what i assume is the second newest iOS cause I know i have iOS at least
PS 2: My hard disc crashed about two months ago and was fixed at my local apple supplier, if that may have anything to do with the matter.

you are not in MacBook Pro forum, so might be harder to swap out and replace hard drive but you should definitely have had them do that or even yourself.
Make sure you are at least using TimeMachine AND another backup method to clone your system drive so you always have a working 'spare' backup drive you can boot and work from - USB3 is good, TimeMachine even works decently for some on USB 2.0
Finding out why and troubleshooting a panic is a matter of trial and error after taking a look at what hardware, what software you installed (and some of which should be removed), even whether it is triggered by heat from processor or RAM (memory) errors, and memory errors can be triggered by software.

There’s trouble in my laptop paradise. I ended that with this caveat:
It’s much more comfortable to type on the 2011 model, with one big exception: the 2011 model runs much hotter.
I need more time to form a concrete opinion, but it seems so far that this CPU’s awesome performance definitely comes at a cost of increased heat and reduced battery life. For my intended usage as a desktop most of the time, that’s an acceptable tradeoff.
This turned out to be worse than I thought it would be, and today, the last day of my return period, I decided to return it and exchange it for a slower model.
The problem
Not only does the 2011 15” MacBook Pro run much hotter than previous generations, but as a result, the fans very frequently kick up to full speed (6200 RPM), greatly annoying anyone in the area who’s not wearing headphones.
I’ve done a lot of Google research and impromptu Twitter surveys, and this seems like a very common problem, exacerbated by a number of factors:
The quad-core i7 CPUs in the 15” run very hot, with a TDP of 45W, 10W higher than the previous dual-cores. Many people speculate that the 15” case and fan design just isn’t designed for CPUs that need this much cooling regularly.
The Core i7 CPU can use Intel’s Turbo Boost to dramatically overclock one CPU core to handle single-threaded loads whenever power and heat allow. It therefore hits its maximum TDP often when just one core is being maxed out, such as when Spotlight or Backblaze index new files, or when Time Machine is backing up.
The 2.2 and 2.3 GHz 15” models come with an AMD Radeon HD 6750M GPU, which adds significant heat. Modern 15” MacBook Pros dynamically switch between the low-powered Intel integrated GPU and the high-powered (and hot) AMD GPU as needed by applications, but the AMD GPU will always be used when an external monitor is connected — the Intel integrated GPU cannot output video over the Thunderbolt port in the 15”. (Oddly, it can in the 13” MacBook Pro and both MacBook Airs.)
It generates so much heat that it can’t be used in “clamshell mode” (closed, but with an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached), which has reduced airflow, without risking overheating, kernel panics, and possible long-term damage. I can’t see why Apple even enabled clamshell mode on it.
Some people report issues with the battery draining while playing a game. The 15” MacBook Pro comes with an 85W power adapter, but when stressing the CPU and GPU (such as when playing a game), the laptop draws about 93W — I don’t know enough about the electronics here to say for sure, but an insufficient power adapter capacity sounds like a plausible reason why the battery might drain under high computational load. If so, this is an embarrassing oversight by Apple.
The thermal paste seems to be very inconsistently applied, or there’s some other common manufacturing defect with the cooling system that varies per laptop. Many, many people reported having these issues and exchanging the laptop for a new one that shows far fewer issues. Many dedicated tinkerers have also reported success after reapplying the thermal compound between the CPU and heatsink, but that requires a very deep, warranty-voiding disassembly that I’m not comfortable doing. (I also haven’t owned thermal paste since 2001.)
Put simply, it sounds like the 2011 15” MacBook Pro has a lot of manufacturing inconsistencies and defects that result in improper cooling. But it also sounds like Apple wedged far too much power draw and heat into an enclosure that’s not designed to properly cool or power these demands. It’s not like Apple to release products like this.
But if I can get one working within my tolerances, it’s still the perfect computer for me right now. So I’m trying.
The attempted solution
Tonight, after requesting the return on my 2.3, I ordered a new, slower model that’s likely to run cooler with less fan noise. It’s the base-model 15”, but with an antiglare (matte) display added:
AMD Radeon HD 6490M: It’s manufactured on the same 40nm process as the 6750M, but has far less computational power, so I’m guessing this will result in much lower power consumption and heat.
2.0 GHz quad-core i7: This is the only CPU available with the 6490M. While I don’t expect it to be dramatically cooler-running than the 2.3 since it’s specced with the same 45W TDP, it does have a lower clock and lower Turbo Boost speeds, so I can probably expect an approximately proportional heat reduction.
So I’ll see what happens. I’m not sure what I’ll do if it doesn’t work out. This generation of 15” MacBook Pros has a lot of problems, and Apple really needs next year’s cooler-running Ivy Bridge processors as soon as possible.

IPod Stuck on the Black screen with White Apple logo

Last night, my iPod suddenly stopped working after I restarted my PC with the iPod still connected to it. It's now stuck on the Apple Logo screen and keeps on making hard drive noises, as if it's constantly being reset.
I tried doing the Select+Menu button reset multiple times, and tried restarting my computer, connecting the iPod to different power sources, etc.
I'm unable to do a system restore because the iPod won't connect to my PC.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to lose this iPod

All you can do is to restore the iPod.If it happens again try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod, not from backup.
