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

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

  • Ipod won't turn on, flashes between apple logo and white screen

    Our ipod touch won't turn on, it has been charged,  but doesn't register anything on the screen.  All that happens is it flashes between the apple logo and a white screen.  My son says it's not been dropped/wet etc.  Any suggestions?
    THanks!

    Tried it, it still shows the apple logo.  While holding home and power it flashed to a back screen then the apple logo popped back up....

  • Help.  ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen?

    help.  ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen?  how do i fix this ?

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Failed Leopard installation, now just show apple logo over white screen.

    I just received OS X Leopard (not the new one, I'll buy it tomorrow) in order to upgrade to the new OS X snow Leopard. During the installation (took over 30 minutes to calculate the installation time that it was supposed to be 2 hr 49 min, I don't know if that's the average installation time). After about an hour of installation appeard a big yellow triangle (warning) over a message box saying something like "Installer couldn't verify 'Essentials' on the DVD, please contact the software manofacturer or try to install later". After restart the iMac it never rebooted, just shows the apple logo with the spinning circle, I left it that way last night while I was searching on the net for some help and iMac kept doing the same over 24hrs (apple logo over white screen). After reading on the forums I reboot with command+s and these are the two messages that are coming once and again in an endless loop:
    First Message:

    The number [2228] goes to [2229] then [2230] to the fist msg again, then [2231] to the second msg,.... in an endless loop.
    Before this I have never experienced any trouble with this iMac. I don't know what to do now because it doesn't reboot and I don't have any boot disk besides TechTool Deluxe.

    "Ok. But once I got the replacement disk the iMac will boot with the installation disk even though it now stills "gone" and unable to boot by itself? I mean, the installation disk is a bootable disk by itself?"
    Read what you wrote and clarify it. You got the replacement disk? Yes or no. Yes the installer disk is a bootable disk. How else did you try to install Leopard?

  • My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

  • What to do when the apple logo and black screen persist (apple tv)

    What to do when the apple logo and black screen persist,  when connecting apple tv.

    Have you unplugged from the power for 30 secs and retried?
    If it constantly still does that it may have become corrupted and you'd need to restore via iTunes:

    Hello Maxayla,
    It sounds like you are getting error code 1 when you were attempting a restore. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article which mentions that error code:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#1
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • 7.1 update iphone 5s phone won't work apple logo and blue screen need help

    My phone won't work after updating 7.1
    Has apple logo with blue screen what to do

    If you mean the iTunes logo and a usb cable, you need to connect the phone to a computer with iTunes on it.  The device is in recovery mode.

  • 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.

    Well does anyone have any seloution for my problem?...

    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.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD
