Can someone help me get my IPOD Touch 3g started? It will only flash the Apple logo off and on. Has been through restore multiple times on different computers, and still will not start.

I have tried restoring the ipod on different computers, one Vista, and one 7. On both, the restore process seems to complete just as it should, until the point where it says "your IPOD will now restart and will appear in listed devices. This IPOD never restarts. The Apple logo just stays on for approximately 30 seconds and then the screen turns off for five or ten seconds and the logo comes back on, over and over for approximately forty five minutes or so, Occasionally the "connect to USB" will come back on, but that is rare. When that does happen, the I-Tunes recognizes it again as an IPOD that needs to complete the restore process. VERRRRRY AGGRAVATING!!!

Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 3G only will only flash the Apple logo and do nothing else. HELP

    My phone started acting up yesterday and then it started only showing the apple logo. It flashes off and on. I plugged it in the computer and it stopped when plugged in. I then downloaded the new software and it still does the same thing. Any help or information you can give will be greatly appreciated. I bought the phone overseas so I doubt I can get official support here in the USA. I just moved back to the USA from Singapore.

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    My iPod itouch when plugged into computer just flashes the apple logo otherwise it just won't start. Try to reset -nothing.

    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 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.

    Hello Tolhurst,
    We have an iPod Touch assistant that should be helpful in getting your iPod Touch working again.

    If you continue to have trouble getting the iPod Touch working again, I'd recommend putting the device into recovery mode and attempting a restore that way.

  • My iPhone 5 overheated yesterday and now it won't turn on. When I plug it to charge it only flashes the Apple logo. I've restored my device on iTunes but it's still not turning on. Help!

    So I charged my phone yesterday but it didn't seem to get charged because the battery percentage went lower instead of higher after I plugged out my phone. Then the battery percentage subsequently got lower even faster, jumping from 28% to 15% within ~a minute. It was very hot too, so maybe overheating was the problem. Then I tried charging my phone again after leaving it to cool but it won't charge and keeps flashing the Apple logo.
    I've tried to no use:
    1. pressing the Power button and Home button together for a long time
    2. restoring my device (on iTunes it says that my phone's updated, but it still won't turn on)
    Should I just send my phone to Apple for them to fix it or for a replacement?

    I'm sorry, it seems that the problem is that my phone WON'T restore. I just tried restoring again and it keeps giving me the 2001 error. Help.

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

  • My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

    My iPhone is frozen. It was working find about a hour ago and then for no reason the screen went to the apple logo. I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work. When I press the power/lock button and the center key it turns off but then it comes right back to the apple logo screen and wont go any further. Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up!

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • Ipod only showing the apple logo and will not do anything else. 1st GEN

    my ipod will only show the apple logo when plugged in to my computer i have a dell running xp but i have tried other computers and it will not do anything but show this symbol. my computer does not recognise that it is plugged in. ive tried the apple support fix-it but it does not do anything period. the buttons do not work when plugged in or not. the only thing it does is light up when plugged in. my other ipod works perfectly no problems so this leads me to believe that its not the computers i have used. just think the ipod has had it

    Mine did the same thing last week after trying to update it via wi-fi. I then spent 11 hours Sunday updating my itunes on the laptop then restoring my ipod. Now all it does is beep as if it is just plugged in and flash the white apple logo. It beeps constantly. My computer at first didn't recognize it, then it did but said I needed to unlock it,(since I can't get the home screen up, I can't.) and now it doesn't recognize it at all. I've tried both computers.

  • My ipod is flashing the apple logo after I restored...please read, theres more info.

    My sister's ipod touch 32gb broke, it was stuck on the Apple logo when you try to turn it on or plug it in. I have followed tutorials on how to resolve this issue, and I got the ipod to the "connect to itunes" screen, so I plugged it in my PC and restored the ipod. It said it has been successfully restored and needs to remain connected to the computer while the ipod restarts. It has been over a half an hour and theres the infamous apple logo on the ipod, but it flashes black every 15 seconds or so. My sister will be extremely happy if I fix it for her, and I promised I will.

    Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
