Black screen with a blinking apple?

My iPhone 5 shut off and now has a black screening with blinking white apple in the middle.  When I plug it into iTunes it says that it cannot sync because the iPhone was reset.  What does the mean and how can i fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

  • Black screen with cursor blinking for a long time before loading windows 7

    Hey guys, i'm having an annoying problem with my macbook pro... i installed windows 7 using bootcamp and now i get a black screen with cursor blinking for a long time before loading windows... it *****, it takes about 3 minutes to get my notebook running
    The first time i installed windows seven i did not have this problem... i already deleted  the partition several times and installed windows again, but the black screen problem is still happening. i don't know what do
    You guys have any tips? anyone with the same problem?? this ***** a lot. thanks

    Hey Theoos..
    Yeah, my version is not.. the first time i installed it was ok, but after 30 days it was asking for a key... then i installed a cracked version, and the cursor started blinking on start up, and took like 2 minutes...
    I tested several cracks but with all of them happened the same.
    Thanks

  • Booting Windows 7 in Boot Camp shows a black screen with a blinking cursor

    I am trying to restore a DMG image of a Windows 7 Boot Camp partition back to Boot Camp. (I know that I should have used Winclone, but I didn't have that option because the drive was already dying and so I couldn't even access OS X anymore.)
    So far, I've gotten to the point where I can start up the computer, hold Option, choose Windows, but then when it boots up, it shows a black screen with a blinking cursor.
    I've tried a few things so far to try and fix this, none of which has worked. I have used the Windows 7 install DVD to run `bootrec` and all its possible arguments. I've ran `chkdsk C: /b`. I've also used the "Automatically fix startup problems" button, of course, as well.
    Anyone know what else I could try to fix this?

    Already tried those steps. Did not work. I finally fixed the problem by using iPartition and running "Write MBR Boot Code" and then renaming the Windows 7 partition and hitting "Go". The latter step causes iPartition to fix any problems that might exist in the partition. After renaming it, I just renamed it back to what it was before. (It was "Windows 7", I renamed to "Windows 7-02", then renamed it back to "Windows 7" afterward.)

  • I have macbook pro 13.3 inch. I am installing window 7 in boot camp manager after copying file of window upto 67% it doesn't response and i had forcely shotdown my macbook. Now my macbook doesn't open and stop in black screen with cursor blinking.

    At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
    NOTE:
    Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

  • Black Screen with a Blinking Cursor in Left Corner....

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion Elite HPE Desktop.  We have been having issues over the past weeks of our Computer Freezing or Shutting Off while in the middle of using it.
    Today it shut off and when it came back on, it stopped at a Black Screen with a Blinking Cursor in the top left hand corner.
    We tried leaving it on to see if it would load up, after approximately 15 minutes still nothing!  Manually shut it down, kept off for like 30 minutes to an hour, turned back on and the same thing happened again.
    Anyone have any Suggestions as to what is wrong with our Desktop???  Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    OK.  
    If you are getting a disk read\write error then it would seem more likely  to be a hard disk failing.
    Post the results that you get on the hard disk test.  If your disk is failing then trying to restore or recover simply won't work. A hard disk replacement will be required.
    You may be able to get  your data off of the drive by putting it in an external enclosure and connecting it to another Windows PC.

    You can try and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days or so, but don't get your hopes up. If that doesn't work, you get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone.

  • HT5858 I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages.  So, in trying to revert to the default settings on my iPad I went into "Settings" and reset everything.  Now, I have a black screen with a white apple and a white line!  What do

    For the last severl weeks I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages.  Thinking that I may have gone into "Settings" and set something wrong, I decided to reset to the default settings.  So, in "Settings" I chose reset everything.  Now, when I turn my iPad on all I get is a black screen with the picture of a white apple and a white line below it.  Nothing else works.  What can I do?  Do I need to send this back to Apple to be restored?

    You will hopefully be able to restore it yourself. It sounds like you erased all constant and settings rather than resetting all settings. But I'm basing my theory on the fact that you are seeing the Apple logo with the white progress bar (the white line) on the screen. That's what you would see if the software was being reinstalled and then it stopped on you. If that is what happened, you need to restore again and most likely need to use recovery mode.
    You can read about recovery mode here.
    Recovery mode - Apple
    However ...... If you are seeing the white line when you turn the iPad, let it go for twenty minutes or so, before you try restoring again. There is possibility that the software is still be installed and it can take a while before you see that white line move at all indicating that progress is being made.
    Frankly, I don't think that the software is still being installed, but since you didn't say specifically how long the iPad has been like this, it could just be that the software hasn't finished installing yet. If you know better - meaning that it's been like this for hours or longer, then you do need to restore the device.

  • Start up goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore in the left top corner

    Hello, im using a HP Pavillion Elite e9220y with Windows 7 as the OP. Last night it was working fine, but this morning i turned it on and the HP logo screen comes up and then it goes to a black screen with a white underscore blinking in the left top corner.

  • Lenovo G505 black screen with a blinking cursor

    system displays a blank screen, with a blinking cursor in the left top corner immediately after powering on and the operating system will not start.

    hi there,
    It seems like the HDD or the OS is faulty.
    Other things that you can try:
    1. If you're running on Windows 7, restart the machine and continuously tap F8 and see if you can select one of the Advanced Boot Options (e.g., Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, etc.)
    2. If the machine is preloaded with Windows 8.1, you will need to create a bootable USB Windows 8.1 flashdrive. From here, boot from the USB flashdrive and attempt repairs on the drive (e.g., automatic repair, chkdsk, bootrec, etc.)
    Guides:
    Windows 8.1 ISO - Download or Create
    How to Create a Bootable UEFI USB Flash Drive
    3. Create a bootable UEFI USB Diagnostics and run a scan on the HDD.

    You can also take the HDD out and read it on another machine (by using a SATA enclosure) and run some tests.
