Brief water contact; black apple logo blinking/flashing white screen
Ok, this idiot didn't take his phone from his pocket & it briefly was water submerged. Maybe 20 seconds; feeling stupid about it.
Phone has been in a bag of (uncooked) rice for a solid 48hrs. I thought that was long enough to plug phone into lightening cable charger into USB port for iTunes...saw a white screen black apple logo that is blinking/flashing. Immediately unplugged it & put back in bag of (uncooked) rice. Did not have it plugged in longer than a few seconds.
Suggestions other than make an appt. with the Genius bar?
Is flashing/blinking a significant sign of permanent damage?

No where near long enough. Should be 5-7 days normally.

Genius Bar appointment is the best alternative. More than likely the device is trash. You should be able to purchase an Out Of Warranty replacement.

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen
After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.
in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days -
I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background. I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it. At one point it was in a Restore Loop. I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers. Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!
Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

Black Screen (no logo) then flashing white screen then a greyish screen and never comes on.
I left my iPod in my room for a few hours while it played my music. When I came back i assumed the battery so I charged it. Checked on it again and the ipod displayed a blank white screen. I looked up online how to reset/reboot it and tried it my self, but that didnt work. What happend next was that the ipod dispayed the black screen but no Apple logo. So i tried the reset/reboot process again then the screen flashed a white screen about 3 times then changed to a grey color. But cant access anything. What should I do.
If it is still charging, connect it to the adapter for 15min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

Flashes the Apple logo then a White Screen
I have a iPod Nano 7 Gen formatted for Mac. I tried to restore it for use in Windows and I have a white screen now and iTunes says the server doesn't support my version of iTunes. So there is no system on the iPod.
Hello pkeimig,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue of a white screen on your iPod, please follow the steps below:
Screen is unresponsive and displays Apple logo or white screen
Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear. If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes.
If the Apple logo does not appear, or if the iPod is not seen in iTunes, connect it to iTunes and try to restore.

How do I change the name of my ipod? It was used, i purchased it from a friend.
I have 4 pc's at home and an imac, but the ipod has the same error on all of them. sorry for not pointing that out, seems that it works only on a MAC OS X, cause my imac isn't an OS X and it can't read the ipod either, it recognizes it as an ipod,and gives me info on it, but it freezes up also when I try to open it...thanks for trying to help.

My phone keeps on looping with the apple logo after the blue screen.
I tried to up date my iPhone 5s thru iTunes and got error statin iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. Saw a video on you tube to use rec boot. So I downloaded rec boot v1.3 to try and kick it out of recovery mode and my phone keeps on looping with the white screen and black apple logo after the blue screen. I tried kicking it out with tiny umbrella and nothing happens. I was able to put the phone back in recovery mode and try using tiny umbrella while still connect to iTunes and hit exit recovery mode. under log tab it says sending exit recovery request to model # of the phone and nothing happen. My last option is to restore to factory settings which I don't want to do cause I would loose every thing. Can some one tell me I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. I would be greatly appreciate it the help. Thanks in advance.
Its looping because the iOS is not bootable which is why the iPhone booted to the ROM recovery mode. Try using iTunes 12's 'Update' option when the iPhone is in recovery mode.

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.

My ipod touch flashes the apple logo and the lock screen. How do I fix it?
My ipod touch 4th Generation will flash from the Apple Logo to my locked screen. Although when I plug in my headphones everything works perfectly. I have not had this ipod very long and i have already recieved a new one from Apple before. I have also tried reseting it as well.
First try restoring the iPod from backup.
Next try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. -
i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!
That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

Why is the Apple logo blinking?
When I woke up this morning, my iPhone was doing fine. I pulled up an app and within two minutes, it darkened, a line showed up on the screen, then it turned off. I tried to plug it in, and it was unresponsive to being charged. Now, only the Apple logo is on the screen. It shows up, glitches, then fades with another line on the screen. I tried holding down the power and home buttons, but it did not do anything.My phone was not exposed to anything out of the ordinary (water, heat, cold, etc.), but it won't even function. What's wrong with it?
try to reset it (Home and ON buttons) while it is plug in the computer and itunes is open. But maybe you will have to restore it
