Black apple logo keeps looping

Windows XP Pro
so, everytime I click the iPod on, all I get is the black apple logo that appears for a couple seconds and then it 'clicks and whirs' and then it goes out and it repeats this over and over. Occasionally, i can get it to stop by clicking the 'hold' button on and off. Then it will seen as though everything is fine, the battery is charged and the menu choices are all there. I hook it to the computer and the itunes won't recognize it. It' says 'd not disconect' but it never goes anywhere. It won't let me format it through windows either. I have tried everything. I let the battery drain for 24 hours, I plugged it into the wall charger which gave me some hope because then at least it charged, but to no avail because it still does nothing. Anyone got anything????

that is the most frustrating factor. It is less than two months old. I have never dropped it or anything. I also bought a 2 year warranty from the place I bought it from that covers everything no questions asked for 2 years. So, I'm good on that front. So, in the meantime, a new dilemma has popped up. I changed the drive letter to Z. Then, everything seemed to work fine. It updated, all songs on iPod = happy camper. Then I added some more files to the library and it freezes on getting album artwork and keeps giving me an error message telling me to erase a certain file on the iPod because it may be corrupt or invalid. And of course, I just now got another message when i plugged it back in...guess what???? I HAVE TO RESTORE IT AGAIN!

    Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)
    -I've already replaced my old 60 GB Ipod in exchange for an 80GB, I bring it home, sync it up with Itunes v7.02 and everything works fine for a while. Not even 24 hours later I go down into my artist/song directory to play a song, and it freezes again. I do the menu center key soft reboot a few times to bypass it and it works for awhile. I've tried looking for current updates for software on it, Restoring it, Resyncing and now It gets to the point everytime I unplug the ipod from charging I get back to the menu and try to play a song or video and it does nothing, it freezes everytime.
    There has to be an explanation as to why my first one did it and why my new 80GB is doing it.
    I've already ran a diagnosis on all the files in the ipod all of them come back clean.
    Help me out.
    If you know how to resolve this issue reply and/or email me

    My ipod is having a similar problem. The black apple logo has been the only thing I see on my ipod. I went a step farther and held the select and play/pause button to get it into disk mode. Once I am here I cannot proceed. I do not have computer that I hook it up to and have transferred the desired songs from an ex-girlfriends computer which I do not have access. What can I do once I have it in disk mode if I do not have a computer available?

  • I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops

    Hello khanhlinh98,
    I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    my i phnoe4s not working. when i connect to charger apple logo keeps blinking

    Hello abuwafi,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get your iPhone back into working order.
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone is stuck on the black Apple logo screen.

    Hi,
    So I just bought my friends used iPhone 2G. So in the car, on the way home, I reset everything on the phone because his all his stuff was on it. So when I got home it said it was done, and it was stuck on the black screen with the white apple logo. I shut it off thinking it would come back on and go to the slide to unlock screen. Nope. It is still stuck on the black Apple logo screen. Keep in mind, this phone has never been attached to my computer. Please help me. I'm really excited that I bought this. Now I REALLY want to use this.
    Thank you,
    DJ

    Do you plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T?
    If so, are you currently an AT&T subscriber?
    If you plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T, you need to get a new SIM card from an AT&T corporate store.
    When connecting the iPhone to iTunes for the first time with the new SIM card inserted, you should be prompted with the AT&T activation process.
    If you don't plan on activating the iPhone with AT&T, did your friend include the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated with AT&T? If so, you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone. Activation with AT&T will not be required, but the no longer activated SIM card (the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated with AT&T) must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the restore with iTunes process.

    My iPhone 5 got wet and I dried it out for 3 days. Now when I charge it the apple logo keeps blinking. Phone is unresponsive, so I tried to restore it but got error code 21. Tried on another computer and got error code 2006. Any suggestions, or is it impossible to get it back?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    If neither of those fix it, then it's toast. it will have to be replaced.

  • My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

    HI
    this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

    If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

  • IPad Mini keeps randomly rebooting - started last week after downloading 8.3 - Apple logo keeps coming up with the reboot/download line below

    - started last week after downloading 8.3 - Apple logo keeps coming up with the reboot/download line below. Seems to happen after opening a site to view information or pictures or.......

    this is getting more & more ridiculous......and worsening by the hour. Now every click on a Pages file makes it reboot....and just trying to save some files prior to doing a total restore as not sure what gets saved in the "back up" prior to the restore. Am starting to love my 5 year old original IPad as slow as it is, even more....

    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.
