Flashing apple and nothing else!  help

We bought a mini for my daughter about 8 months ago. She got it for x-mas and is loving it. This morningshe went to turn it on and it wouldn't. It sits at night in her JVC sound thing (ring shaped) and charges. She uses it as a stereo in her room. The apple logo just flashes slowly. I can hear the drive inside trying to work and then it shuts down. IT just does that over and over. I tried to re-set it, restore it and everything else, but no luck. It does not recognize it on my imac, power mac or PC as even being attached. I have tried the fi-wi connection and the usb with no results. It was not dropped and was working fine when she went to bed. Please help her! Thanks so much!!

iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
I have to say that the hard drive noise you can hear may mean it needs service.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    To add to the above all-too-brief instructions, here is the official KB concerning the "200" error:
    KB30100 "JVM 200" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone
    But, what is likely now the problem is that your battery has run down flat, and you can't attempt any recovery until that is first remedied. So please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Stuck with the Apple and nothing else

    It seems many are having problems with the recent software update. Me too - can anyone help?
    Following the update I am now stuck with the Apple sign. When I do a restore (Menu/Play) the apple sign dissaperars, then comes back and I am back where I started.
    My computer no longer recognises my iPod either!
    Any ideas?

    The most likely solution, Angel, is to restore your iPod then re-sync with iTunes to load your songs on. See this:

  • HT201412 Why is my IPad showing a silver apple and nothing else?

    My Ipad is showing a silver apple.  It will not return to the home screen.  It will not power off properly.  Nothing but the silver apple.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Did you try this?

  • When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

    okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

    Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

    Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
    Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
    After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
    You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
    Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
    Quit

  • I have an 6 year old mac mini having issues. I can turn it on, get the apple logo and blue screen and nothing else.....help!!

    i have an 6 year old mac mini with issues that started two weeks ago. I can turn it on , get blue screen and turning circle and nothing else......help !

    Hi,
    Have you tried some of these? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
    The first things I would try would be to press shift during start up, this will boot into safe mode.
    I think you'll need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard to re-install the OS.
    There's another couple of suggestions here; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 where you can boot into single user mode and look at repairing disk permissions if that's the problem.
    I would hope that if you could boot into safe mode or single user mode, then that may automatically rectify your current issue. If not, then I'm pretty certain that a fresh install will be the ultimate answer.

  • My ipod touch is showing a usb pointing to the itunes logo on the screen and nothing else.  It won't switch on beyond that.  Please help!

    my ipod touch is showing a usb pointing to the itunes logo on the screen and nothing else.  It won't switch on beyond that.  Please help!

    Sounds like your iPod is in restore mode. Connect it to iTunes. iTunes will pop a little message up saying that your iPod is in restore mode and asking you if you want to restore it, click yes. Your iPod will restore to factory settings and you will be given the chance to restore from a backup. You can do this or set it up as a new iPod.
    Here is Apple's page on restoring your iPod.

    Hope that helps.

  • HT1551 just updated my apple TV and whit light is flashing continuously and nothing is on the screen anymore.

    Can anyone help with this please?
    Just updated the Apple TV and the white light is now flashing quickly and nothing is on the screen.  Can't access it with the remote from the Ipad.

    Same problem here.  Long time Apple fan, own lots of their products... Greatly disappointed.
    Bought a brand new Apple TV, worked fine for 3 days but then the picture went blank (possibly after an auto update?) and I observed a quickly flashing white light on the Apple TV.  Manual indicates this means it is "having problems" (no kidding) and recommends restoring the software via a micro-USB cable (cable not provided).
    Acquired a cable and attempted this fix but after following the procedure the Apple TV never showed up in iTunes, so I'm unable to perform the restore.  Returning the device today, not sure if we want to get another or just give up and save the $100.

  • My ipad keeps showing the apple logo and nothing else and it wont restore it keeps coming up with error 19

    I have an iPad 2nd generation and all it does is show the apple logo continuously and  nothing else. I cannot get into the iPad and I have tried to restore it numerous times but it comes up with error 19 or error 14. Or it restores but after it has it just comes back up with the apple logo once again and nothing changes or it flashes a few times. does anyone know how to fix this?
    Cheers Meg

    You need to put your iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document very carefully. It might take several attempts to get it to work.

  • I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

  • I continually get a Java error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and nothing has helped. I've updated flash and Java.

    I have used Firefox as my default browser for many years. I've recently started getting a Java error message. It pops up continually. I have updated flash and java. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and nothing has helped. I have had to start using Chrome instead of Firefox which I don't care for but I don't have the java error with Chrome. How do I fix this problem? The error reads as follows:
    Java Script Application
    Error: syntax error

    Your '''JavaScript''' error has nothing to do with the Java plugin . It is likely caused by an added extension (the earlier forum threads [/questions/944619] and [/questions/943088] mention disabling or updating the Social Fixer extension will resolve the problem).
    You can read this article for help troubleshooting your extensions: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

  • Hi, I can't seem to get my ipod 32gb 4th gen to sync with itunes. It's brand new, but everytime I plug it in it says can't access Itunes store and nothing else happens. I enabled my firewall to allow itunes but it still can't access it. Please help.

    If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
    <pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
    You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
    It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

    Try resetting the device by pressing the Home and Sleep/Wake button for several seconds, the device should then boot up.
