Apple Screen

The apple screen is the only screen that appears on my ipod. It turns on and off by itself. I haven't used it in a month, and when I went to use it, the battery was dead, so I charged it. After a few hours, I came back to check on it, and it had a screen that said, "Please wait... charging" with the battery sign and it was still in the red zone. I tried resetting my ipod and now the apple screen shows up and goes away, shows up and goes away. What do I do?

Try putting it into Disk Mode.

If that works, connect it to your computer and run iTunes. If it appears in the iTunes sidebar, select it and use the Restore button to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize the iPod's software. Then sync it to your iTunes library and see if it is working better.

*I CAN REPRODUCE AT WILL* the Apple Screen of Death

I've been tip-toeing around my iPhone for week afraid I might send it into "reboot"... "just Apple" mode. Just when you it's restarting... 20 minutes, 30 minutes.... hours later (until it does). Still just Apple. I've read the forums and tried all of the tricks and I can only get it back up and running if I completely restore the phone. Luckily I got into the mode of doing it's 3-4 hours back up every other night. (Don't get me started on that).
I can't solve the problem, but I now know what I will stop doing. Here are the steps that I have used to semi-brick my phone:
1. Wait until an update is available in the App Store (on the iPhone).
2. On the iPhone initiate the update of the App.
3. Wait a few seconds for the app to appear to be downloaded on the home screen.
4. Then go BACK into the App Store (while the other app is still upgrade... I would assume it would pause or whatever)
5. I then went in to the Search section of the App Store, which already had a few apps displayed from a previous search. I clicked on one of them to view the description.
6. At this point the phone is completely unresponsive. The grid cleared, but the description never came. So I tap a few other tabs in the App Store, hit the home button a few times.... then BOOM. Apple Screen of Death.
I'm restoring again (this is my 5th time). I am 100% certain that I closely if not exactly went through the same steps go have the problem occur. Don't shoot me... I know I'm an idiot, but at one point I was hoping the firmware would resolve the issue. Then last time I just got cocky.
The other 2 time that I crashed I was using app's that I had troubles updating on the iphone. They were larger apps and I was doing other things while the update was going.
So my advice.... do your app downloads and updates on you computer. If you HAVE to do them on the phone, kick it off and stare at its progress bar... keep it awake until finished.
Not sure if that helps anyone, but I thought I'd throw this out there. Off to add a bug report to Apple.

*Honestly people here is the solution! I promise it works!*
*Go into iTunes Edit/Preferences the last tab sync disable auto sync for all iPod and iPhones. This does not fix it it is just the first step do not stop here.*
*Next connect your iPhone to the computer. Once it shows up in iTunes go into the last tab Applications. Uncheck sync all apps. not Click apply. Now click sync. it will remove all the applications! After it is finished unplug the iPhone. I bet you will have at least one app still on the Iphone, maybe more. Hold any icon down until they jiggle. tap the x's and delete all the remaing apps. You may notice after you delete each app that a little spinning circle is next to your 3G icon on the top right hand side. Let it finish spinning before you delete the next app.*
*Once you have deleted all the remaining apps (That had corrupt data that was causing your long back ups!) do a hard reset. To do this hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the red slider appears at the top of the screen. Slide it over and the phone will power off. You will again notice the spinning circle. Once it finishes wait a few seconds and power the iPhone back on by pressing the sleep/wake button.*
*While it is booting back up go into iTunes again turn the auto sync back on! Now connect the iPhone to the computer, let it backup and sync. I bet you a million dollars it goes so fast you want to cry or laugh. Now after it finishes go back to the applications tab. Click sync apps again, but make sure you have the 2nd circle checked. This box is sync selected apps. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked! Now slowly begin adding apps back to the iPhone. I have done as many as 5 at a time. Check the boxes then click apply, then sync. It will backup then add the applications and sync all other information.*
*Someone try it and confirm to these people it works. I'm willing to put money on it! I have done it on both my iPhones and 4 others.*
*Here is the kicker! DO NOT update or install apps from the phone! Only use iTunes to install and or update apps until they get the bug fixed!*
I am willing to bet that corrupt or jsut apps are causing a load of the issues people are having.

- 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.

Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

My iPod touch is frozen and apple screen & spinning wheel keep appearing

Hi I really need help,
I was updating an application on my iPod when suddenly it shut down because the battery was too low.
Then I tried to turn it on again but these apple screen and spinning wheel screen keep appearing until now.
I've tried pressing and holding the home & sleep/wake button at the same time several times, and mostly it didn't work.

First, charge the battery thouroughly.
Then, if you're still having a problem, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

MBP OS Leopard update that now hangs at the grey apple screen

I ran software update for OS Leopard on my MBP yesterday and it has been in a continuous boot cycle that never gets past the grey Apple screen. The only sign of life is that periodically it will make the boot noise and the computer remains quite warm. I have tried shutting down completely and then rebooting in safe mode and also rebooting using the OS disk but I'm pretty sure the Leopard OS disk doesn't work as a boot disk. So my first issue is to try and fix the boot problem. The second is that clever me didn't back up before hand so I am looking at trying to connect by firewire to my iMac and try and recover some files... given the issue would this be possible?

See if it boots into Target mode...

If so it should act like an expensive Firewire Drive for your other Mac.

My ipod Classic hangs and freezes on the apple screen. It will not do anything. I tried to restore using iTunes, but came out 1415 error code, and cannot do anything about it.

My iPod Classic which I rarely uses. I try to refresh it and put new song into it.
As I try with iTunes, it runs very slow and show that it had problem, need to restore it.
When I tried, it will not and hangs, also slows my HP Win 7 system immensly.
I tried to reset, pressing the middle and menu botton, now it hangs on the apple screen and remains there forever.
What is the problem and how can I solve it?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.

Thank you for your help, although that didn't seem to do anything either. It just started working again today, yay!
But after trying endlessly lots of things I finally gave up and just let it sit, it was on for awhile until the battery totally drained. I had forgotten about it and today I went to plug it in to charge the battery so I could try another round of possible solutions. I plugged in the usb cable, at first it went to the black screen with the logo. Then as I was about to walk away 10 seconds later I saw the screen light up then the menu appeared. I don't know what was wrong but it seems totally find now. So I don't know what I did or what happened but it seems to be working with no problems again.
