Black screen/black screen with white apple

Apple IPAD, IOS8
Problem
screen goes black or black with white apple. Device will not function until I remove the screen. I do this through multi-tasking.

Hard Reset, Hold down your home and power buttons until the screen goes blank then release when you see the apple logo.
Failing that. Plug into iTunes and restore.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

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
Dana

I 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

Ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?

ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?

Hi there did you end up getting this resolved? I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo. Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo. Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all. Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it. It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

Unable to restore iTouch, stuck on black screen with white apple

Hello to any and all that can offer me assistance:
I have an iPod Touch. I have restored it more than once. It will show the screen with the USB cord and the iTunes logo. After the restoration process the computer screen will say that the restoration was completed and my iTouch will turn back on to be recognized by iTunes in 10 seconds. That never happens. Instead I get the black screen with the white apple. It will stay on then flick off after about 20 seconds repeatedly.
I have tried uninstalling all Apple files and re-downlading them. I have tried letting it die then charging it. I was getting error 1611 so I disabled my security software and did the restore again. I have deleted and readded the file in the folder for iPod software updates. I have held the shift key when pressing restore in iTunes and selected the newly downloaded iOS/firmware. I unplugged it from the front USB port on my tower to a slot on the back. I unplugged and restarted my pc with nothing plugged into the USB ports other than the iTouch cord, my mouse and keyboard.
All have failed. Once - out of no where - I thought that I had gotten lucky because it was back to factory defaults. I added my apps and music to it. Once I unplugged it from my PC within minutes it died and started doing the flicker on and off again.
What else can I try? I am frustrated and running out of ways to google and review other discussions on the Apple site on how to repair it. I don't know what generation it is. I've owned it for maybe 2 years. It's a 32g iTouch.
Please help if you can! :-)
Thx,
HunyB

Are you referring to when i hold down the circle button until it restarts? I've tried that. I always get back to the screen with the USB cord pointing toward the iTunes logo. While still holding the button i plug it in to the USB cord. I do the restoration....it shows a little icon that are small lines like sunrays that light up like it;s about to restart.....then it gots back to the flickering. ;-(

Flashing Black Screen with White Apple Curse

Hey everyone!
I haven't updated my ipod in such a long time that I decided to do it over the weekend. I have way more songs than before and I've also added podcasts. However, after syncing everything, my video ipod (80GB) went into the black screen white apple phase. I can hear the hard drive go on and off and it goes on in an endless loop. I've managed to put my ipod in disk mode (for charging) because the regular reset did not help. I also uninstalled and installed iTunes. After this, I did the restore in iTunes and it seemed to work (for now) because there's really nothing in my ipod. It is when I start syncing that my ipod becomes my dilemma. After the sync completes, it goes back to the black screen white apple phase that I came to know as a curse. Will someone please tell me what's going on?
Cheers!

I know for sure lots of people have the same problem with iPod 5th generation.
About me everything happened when I updated my iPod 160gb from 1.0.1 version to 1.0.2 version by the latest iTunes 7.5 version.
Until now anyone has been able to help me.
Personally I am looking forward a new update software.
I guess it would be helpfull to repair any corrupt files.
If anyone have a tip in this matter is very welcome.

Stuck on black screen with white apple icon

Is your phone jailbroken?

IPhone 3GS Crashes (gets Black Screen with White Apple Logo) Mid Phonecall

For the past week, when I make a phone call and use the speaker, after the call has lasted between 8 and 12 minutes; without warning, everything goes quiet and I get a black screen which displays the white Apple logo (the same as is displayed when you reboot your phone).
After a while, the phone comes back on, I’m not required to enter my SIM Pin and everything seems to work fine(ish) from then onwards.
I have done a reset, restore and resync in iTunes, but this still happens.
It does not seem to matter if the battery is 100% charged or not! I have tried a few battery recalibrations too!
I’ve also noticed a slight sluggishness since the upgrade to iOS4 (for example, when you receive a text message, click to view, there is a noticeable delay where the screen is blank (you can see the lines where messages should be) and then they appear/message opens).
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance.

Hey Mac Beep Beep,
As did many out there on iOS4 release day, I plugged my iPhone into the PC, iTunes fired up, the software upgrade was found and installed.
Three iPhones updated in my household, all the same model (3GS 32Gb) and yet none of the others have had the same problems as mine.
On top of having the reboot during phonecall issue, my calendar (historic and future) was wiped, birthdays were added to the calendar from the information held in contacts however some (not all) were showing as a day earlier then they should be (even though they are correct in the contacts entry).
Just to clarify, when I tried to reinstall a verified version of the legacy backup (3x), I used iTunes to reset iPhone, re-active iPhone and restore said legacy back up. This failed in a spectacular way so I had to go back to an iOS4 back up.
Note: I had the problem of phone rebooting mid phonecall before I attempted a rollback to 3x.
Any further advice/ideas?
Cheers

I bought an ipad mini from John Lewis in February. On Saturday the ipad suddenly stopped working. I tried charging it but all it done was go to the start up apple page (black screen with white apple) then shut down and constantly repeat this process.

I took it back to John Lewis today to get fixed as its still under warranty. Because there was scratches on the back of it.... Which is hard to avoid with the slate back!!! I got told apple will probably not fix it as it looks as if I've done it! I couldn't believe it!! If I honestly dropped it that bad to have caused a technical fault inside I would of smashed the screen as the same time!! Absolutely ridiculous as I know it isn't through any fault of my own.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

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.

Black Screen With White Apple

I've been getting this screen all the time. I get it when I start up my Ipod. I get it mid-play of audio and video. I get it when I pause a song. I get this stupid screen all the time. I have reset, I have wiped my Ipod and reloaded my library. It has been doing this since the day I pulled it from the box. Is it defective? Am I doing something wrong?

Is all the software on your computer up to date?

Since updating to 5.1, my phone will not turn off or on. Black screen with white apple icon. Any idea how to fix?

I don't know if I have a 4 or 4s.

The latest version is 5.1.1. If you are trying to update to 5.1 that is your problem; it can't be done.
As your phone is "stuck" follow the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
It doesn't matter if you have a 4 or 4S, but you can easily check by entering its serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

I just loaded the 8.1 operating system on my iPad. It has been sitting for about 4 hours with the black screen and white apple with the bar underneath. What should I do?

I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
MEID ********
Serial DL******JHH
64GB
I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath. It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
<Edited by Host>

I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything. I thought I was doomed. I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now. I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

Ipad has black screen with white bar

My ipad2's screen has gone blank. after leaving it uncharged for a good 18 hours. I switched it on to see a blank, black sceen with a white bar moving downwards accross the screen this fades to black.
I have tried charging it for a good 7 hours as I thought maybe the battery has run down and caused this.
I have also tried resetting by pressing the on/off and home button together for 10-15 secs but no luck.
My ipad still synches to my imac okay. I have restored it to factory settings. This didn't help the problem either.
This actually happened when first took the brand new ipad out of the box and tried turning it on for the first time. But it revived itsself after synching to my imac and being on charge for a few minutes. The support technition I spoke to at the time didnt really know why it did this but suggested it was a very low batterry issue. Although I am inclined to think its something else, now its happened again and charging does not seem to work.
Has anyone had the same problem? If so what did you do? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
P.S. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on my ipad. However its not an available option in the OS dropdown for this discussion. hmmm!

Black screen w/white apple & circling timer screen keeps flashing on

I bought a refurb iphone 4 and it was freezing a few times or saying this app needs to be connected to wifi or can't get mail without connection the last few days and today the black home screen with white apple along with a circling timer (don't know what to call it) keeps flashing on and off at random when I'm trying to use the phone. Also, when I plug it in to be charged it does it repeatedly even though I'm not touching it.

Did you do any basic troubleshooting - Restart, Reset, Restore? See the iPhone User Guide, Appendix B.
Is this phone jailbroken?
