Apple logo won't go away--frozen--wont connect to computer help-plzzzzzzzzz
I was about to send in my iPod for repair, but I thought I might check if it happened to someone else here. My iPod I got 10 months ago just displays an Apple logo. The light will turn on, and off, it will reset and go to the diagnostics screen, but it won't go any farther. I have tried to reset it, connecting it to the computer, (the iPod won't recognize the comptuer and vise versa), I would let the battery run down, but (like I have a choice anyways) but then I couldn't charge it because the computer won't recognize it! I think it really is time to get this iPod in for service, but I thought I might check here.
Oh, and it is a 6GB 2nd generation mainly used with USB 1.1, if that helps.
haha
Thanks in advance!!

Black screen with white apple logo won't go away! Help please.
Last night I turned theipod completeley off and restarted it. The black screen with the white apple logo came on and hasn't went of since.
I've tried everything I could find in the forums and on the support page.
iTunes will not recognize my ipod which has continously tried to start up again every 5 minutes.
I don't know what more to do, ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
DanaI did try that. When I do that the red slider bar to turn the ipod off doesn't come up.
Its still trying to reset itself but won't go any farther than the black screen with white apple.
Thanks -
Apple logo when plugged into wall, nothing when connected to computer
I think my iPhone may have finally met its last days. This week while on my honeymoon in Puerto Rico, I jumped into a waterfall with my phone in my pocket. Crap! I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and it still worked fine. I started praising my Otterbox for saving it. 3 hours later I arrived back at my hotel room, and the phone wouldn't turn on. Weird because it was working for a couple of hours. 3 days later and anytime that I plug it into the wall all I get is an apple logo that comes in goes every few seconds. I tried a reset and no luck.
When plugged into the wall, I can hold the home and the lock buttons, and it shows me a picture that says to connect it to iTunes but it disappears after half a second. However, whenever I plug it into the computer I get NOTHING. No apple logo, nothing in the device center that shows I'm even connected.
Is there any hope for me? Any help is much appreciated. I have over 200 pictures from my wedding and honeymoon that I don't want to lose.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.

I had booted the system many times., tried option command P R buttons at the same time. No luck. If the Imac is connected to internet by ethernet port, sometimes the screen is just black and blank to which i had to remove internet port after which if i reboot , the login page appears and then goes to apple logo on white screen and is stuck there. Please help!!
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider. -

Grey screen /apple logo won't open reinstall 10.6
The internal hard drive may have failed.
You should be able to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD by inserting it and holding down the c key while it boots. From there you can select the Disk Utility app to check the internal drive. -

My ipod touch is frozen with the Apple logo. I can't do anything with it. Help!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Apple Picture won't go away and won't turn on!
Help! First my nano was stuck in disc mode,took it to the apple store, they got out and said it just needed to charge .... now the Apple picture won't go away and I can't turn it on. I 've been letting it charge for two to three hours! What's wrong
I ended up having the same problem last weekend as well. My 80 gig iPod was acting weird from the very beginning (not remembering view settings), and its only a few months old.
I took it to the Apple Store, they ran a diagnostic, and it turned out it had corrupted drive. Thankfully I had applecare and they replaced it. I picked it up today, and guess what... This one doesnt remember the view settings either. -
iPad won't restore, shows apple logo, won't restart. Battery is low but won't recharge. Is it a sudden loss of battery function?
If you were restoring to a backup or resetting back to factory defaults, then have you tried recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 ?

Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!
Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
