Flashing apple logo on lid

after updating to snow leopard i noticed sometimes when i close my computer it doesnt go to sleep the sleep light glows constantly bright and the apple loge periodically flashes on and off. has anyone else seen this why is it doing that

Something is causing it to wake again, run Utilities/Console and click 'All Messages' top left then next time look for the lines that appear after you give it the Sleep command to get an idea of what's waking it up - if you're not sure copy/Post the lines here.

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.

Blank screen flashing apple logo

My iPhone 5 suddenly no repsonse but blank scree. Flashing apple logo when plug in power.

If still problem see the remainit actions of:
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.

Iphone flashing apple logo screen!

Hi my iphone 5 is stuck on a flashing apple logo sceen. I put my iphone into the charger and the phone turns on but the apple logo keeps on flashing every 5 seconds and it will not go into the proper main menu. My power button is broken so the only way to turn on the phone is by putting it into the charger and once its charged the phone turns on automatically, so i can't enter dfu mode etc
I found a similar problem on youtube to show you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3O0iBLGiyU
Anyone know how i could fix this? i have tried some methods that i found online but none worked so far..

If you connect it to your computer, does iTunes see it?
If not, without a working power button, there is no further troubleshooting you can do. You will need to bring it to an Apple Store and have them take a look.
There is a known issue with some iPhone 5 model's power/sleep/wake button, and you'll want to go here to see if you're eligible: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/ .
Not a guarantee that you'll get your phone working again but certainly won't hurt to check!

7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play. What is wrong with it?

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.

Startup display flashes Apple logo, circle w/ line ,question mark folder

I attempted to install OS 10.6 SL and during initial install and restart my MBP display started flashing the grey Apple logo, circle with angle line thru it, and file folder icon with question mark in center. I can not get my MBP to restart. It just keeps flashing the symbols. as described.

After trying to get the system to start either with the install disc DVD or from the HD, without any success, I tried something a little desperate. I replaced the HD with the one that was installed originally. Of course, this HD was reformatted without any system. It, again, tried to start from the install disc DVD, as directed, but with no solution. After a gray logo screen for a couple of minutes it stopped the startup process, but did not shut down, I was still left with a black screen and nothing happening, until I hit a key and the whole thing repeated itself. I have since gone back and reinstalled the larger HD with OX 10.5 installed on it, but with no success. Obviously, it doesn't seem to be anything on the HD. If this was a PC I would think that I needed to reset the BIOS, but I am not that familiar with the ROM. Any further suggestions?

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 when properly ejected

I eject the ipod nano correctly, but instead of saying "okay to disconnect" it just starts flashing the apple logo. It does not reset.
Why won't the ipod properly eject?
I can go into disk mode, but I don't want to delete all the songs when it will do this each time i disconnect.

Most likely faulty battery. Battery replacement at Apple Store is $80, and you will get perfect working iPhone 4 same as your current iPhone, except it will be working. Make Genius Reservation and take to Apple. Or have battery replaced elsewhere.

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

Problem: Ipod is flashing apple logo screen and beeping at me help

Hi hows it going? My 80 gig Ipod is flashing the apple logo screen and refuses to reset, and is not read by a computer. If you have any ideas that would be lovely. If it helps I got it to tell me to plug it into power once. I have since plugged it in but it still does not work.

See if these help.
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

After installing iOS8 only thing I can see is flashing Apple logo while charging

Hi,
After installing iOS8 on my Iphone5 battery life went really down and phone was getting really slow. All this happened within two days. Battery died with hours, until now it is showing only apple logo which is flashing while charging. Without charger plugged its totally dead, nothing on screen what so ever. Somehow I think iOS8 just killed my battery or it was some other kind of coincidence. No warranty also.
Does anyone know how to proceed with this iphone now? Cannot connect to Itunes. When it started to act wierd I managed to do back up and factory reset to my phone, but it didnt helped.
Does new battery can be solution? I could replace battery myself, but buying new battery without fix would be even bigger damage to my wallet.
Thanks,

Visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or an Apple Store and let them check the battery. If you replace the battery yourself, Apple will not service the phone anymore after that, even if you are willing to pay for it.
