Flashing apple logo and beeping noise

i just closed my macbook and then all the sudden the apple logo on the front cover started to flash and then that beeping noise (like when you flip it open) comes on and it just repeats over and over again. when i opened it back up, it was already on my desktop but then when the beeping noise came on again, the screen went black so i closed it and opened it back up. it's working fine right now (at least it is for now) but what was going on?

Beeping noises can be RAM-related. Try reseating your RAM.

Interuppted software update on startup machine show apple logo and beeps 3 time continuously

Interuppted software update and new startup screen comes on stays grey with logo and beeps continuously 3 times. Tried safe restart reset pram. No luck any suggestions?

Three beeps at startup usually means that there is a RAM problem. I would open the MBP and reseat the RAM. Perhaps an SMC and Pram resets may also be in order.

Phone Keeps FLASHING Apple LOGO and wont work with a power source.

When I was doing the update something happened on my iphone 4 and now the phone wont properly turn in and keeps flashing the apple logo (also it wont even charge in a power source). What should I do?

I think what you are describing is what happened to my iPhone. I was updating my software then after it was 'done' it just started flashing the apple logo every 5 secs. What I did was I connected my iPhone to my computer via USB then I pressed and held both the top and the home button for about 15 secs then released the top button while continuing to hold the home button. Then I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then, in my case it said that it could not restore my iPhone. If that happens to you, too, I suggest you follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
I hope it works for you, too.

Flashing apple logo and white screen on I Phone 3GS

Hi, while updating all apps via the itunes store, my phone has crashed. The phone was unconnected and updating on 3G, which I have never had any problems doing before. It is constantly flashing the apple logo followed by a white screen then back to black screen again. The white screen sometimes has a black vertical line down the middle. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Can't turn it off, can't reset it. Not visible in itunes or my computer, help!
I've tried connecting it to 2 different PC's, it does not appear on either. I don't get the red slider if I try to power it off. If I hold both buttons for 10 seconds to reset, it just restarts flashing the same again.

sounds like you're having a hardware failure. You should bring it in to Apple for evaluation

Hello missyfromsouthport,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Additional Information
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.

Iphone 4 unresponsive and flashes apple logo but itunes wont recognise it . when plugged into the mains it turns onto recovery mode and asks to be plugged into itunes, when i unplug it from the mains it turns straight off again

please help! my iphone randomly went unresponsive, when plugged into itunes it flashes apple logo and itunes doesnt recognise it and when plugged into the mains its in recovery mode, asks to be connected to itunes, but immediately turns off when unplugged from mains

You could try to do a hard reset, sometimes resetting the phone helps. Hold down the sleep/wake button on the top and the home button until you see the apple logo, this make take a minute or two but this might help.

Flashing Apple logo - does not come on and cannot power it down

My husband has original iPhone from Dec '07. For some reason, while using it, his volume went low and he could not raise it. He tried powering it down to reset it but screen went black and then apple logo came on, then went black, then came on, flashing like that for several minutes before going black. He brought it home, i tried holding the sleep/wake button, but same result - flashing apple logos for few minutes, then black. Tried holding home button but also same result. Plugged into computer - it came on but the "Sync in Progress, do not disconnect" did not come on and phone did not register on desktop even though iTunes showed it. Anyways, did a complete restore with most recent software but again, we're still having the same problem. Phone works when plugged into computer, but not in the way it should and once you unplug it from the computer, sleep/wake button does nothing and cannot power it down. After restoring it, i again tried to power down holding sleep/wake button, but got flashing apple logos again. Any suggestions? Do we need to just take this in and have it looked at?

Have you tried booting it to recovery? If you haven't, try these steps:
1) Close iTunes and unplug and power down your iPhone
2) Press and hold the home button
3) Keeping the home button held down, plug your iPhone into your computer
5) Keep the button held down until a recovery screen with a pic of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon shows.
6) Open iTunes and perform a restore
If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to go to an Apple store and get it exchanged, as the above post said.

TS3274 My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response. Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPad 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.
