Froze and hangs on startup logo

I was using the Tone Board app and when I pressed the Home button, a tone kept playing and the iPod froze. I forced a shutdown and the screen went black with no red slider at any stage.
Now when I try to start up it simply hangs at the Apple logo. So I don't know what else I can do -- the Mac does not recognise it of course as it is not running.
2G touch running the latest OS prior to V3.0. Can't look to see what it is.
Any help gratefully received.

If you had held the Home button a bit longer, it would have force closed the app that was locked up and you would not of had this problem. So...
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. Release them and let your iPod restart. (this is a reset)
If that doesn't work, you are going to have to put the iPod into a recovery mode. You can read up about that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iPod touch is alternating between a white screen and the Apple startup logo. I can't seem to bring it out of that sequence.

    My iPod touch is alternating between a white screen and the apple startup logo. Is it done for?

    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.
    - 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.

  • Firefox stopped working and hangs upon startup

    First, a problem with iTunes - could not access the iTunes store. Uninstalled iTunes and re-installed, then Firefox hung up, had to close with Task Manager. After that Firefox hangs on startup. Have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, still hangs on startup. Using Windows 7 OS.

    Firefox will not load to start in safe mode - it is just a blank white screen with no radio buttons or icons on it and the circling icon for loading.
    I deleted my old profile and uninstalled Firfox and tried downloading again, but the same problem exists. I am currently using IE as my browser, but prefered Firefox (when it worked). It seems the new version is the problem.

  • Enlightenment17 shows up in bad resolution and hangs on startup

    Hey,
    After using Enlightenment (enlightenment17 package) successfully for about 1 week it broke today:
    As I started Arch as usual and logged in via LXDM Enlightment showed up in a 4:3 resolution (i use a 16 / 9 notebook) and hanged on the preparing message (these blinking colored squares under the "enlightenment" fontart).
    I didn't find any error messages in dmesg, Xorg logs 0 - 7 and nothing in journalctl so I decided to post without logs. If you need more information pls ask^^
    System:
    Arch x86_64
    Kernel 3.9.9
    Intel and Nvidia Driver (using bumblebee successfully)
    enlightenment17 without any extra modules or themes
    Any suggestions?

    I had problems recently with Bodhi E17.  I couldn't start X from the login screen.  IIRC, I had to press Ctrl F5, login, then press Ctrl F7 to get X to start.  I had problems with the compositor.  I turned off compositing, and can now login normally, but videos are horrendously slow (either with compositing enabled or not).  I just gave up for the time being.  I have an Intel Sandy Bridge laptop with the Intel HD3000 GPU.  I performed a system update, but the issue remains.  Perhaps it's a KMS issue???
    No problem using the same laptop with Arch XFCE, Fedora 18 Gnome, or Mageia 3 KDE.
    EDIT:  Discovered the problem in Bodhi E17 is with sna acceleration.  Had to revert to uxa acceleration.  Funny, sna works fine in Arch XFCE, Fedora 18 Gnome, and Mageia 3 KDE.

  • Iphone Froze and stuck at apple logo in an infinate loop of reboots?

    Hello I am not sure if this issue has been addressed. I recently had this problem, but it seems the topic has been archived so I cannot reply to it. I was able to restore and my phone has been working fine for a week, but am I to expect this to happen again?
    Thanks for your help

  • G5 not chiming and hanging on startup

    Hi all
    I have a G5 that recently had a power supply replaced, and now its being funky again.
    It starts up fine, makes all the right noises, except it fails to chime, the screen doesn't kick in to life and it whirs away for a short while before the fans go into turbo take off mode and i have to force it to shut down.
    anyone have any ideas what this might be.
    I've tried resetting the PMU on the board inside and left it to think about it bad behavior for time but nothing currently seems to work. Any ideas people what might be wrong with it this time?
    Thanks for the advice.

    Hi kladzer-
    Are there any LEDs on inside?
    See this for reference: About the Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) diagnostic LEDs

  • Intel iMac hangs at startup on white screen, no logo

    Suddenly, my Intel iMac won't boot. When I turn it on, it plays the tone and hangs forever at the white lit screen. I hear the CD-ROM drive spin up, but I can't get it to boot from a CD, even if I hold down "C". I have Bootcamp installed dual-booting Vista SP1 (by default) and OS X Leopard. I can't make the boot menu appear, either.
    I tried resetting the SMC as described in a troubleshooting article by unplugging everything, waiting, plugging back in the power and then the other peripherals (only network, keyboard, mouse, and a secondary display.) It had no effect.
    Any suggestions, if only to narrow down what the problem might be?

    mquander....did the new hard drive resolve the problem?
    I have the exact same problem. It all started on a hot day, my iMac froze while just surfing the web. Only option was to power it down manually. After that the machine would not boot into OSX, it would get as far as the blue screen, but never come up with the login window. Then it started acting up and certain keyboard boot combinations would not work consistently. For example holding option down would only occasionally bring up the boot list, other times, it would just stay at a gray screen indefinitely.
    Now I can't boot to anything, CD, internal hard drive, external hard drive. The gray screen comes up with no apple logo, eventually if I leave it, 10 minutes or so later it will reboot itself and just do the same thing.
    I'd be curious to find out if the new hard drive resolved your problems.
    Thanks

  • IMac (Mid 2007) hangs at startup before the Apple logo comes up

    I have a 20" 7,1 iMac (Mid 2007) with Lion installed on it that hangs at startup before the Apple logo even comes up. The machine is on a APC surge protector, but not on a UPS. We had a few power outages yesterday that were caused by high winds. When I came home the machine was stuck at a white screen. When I tried cycling the power it got stuck at the initial white screen. Since then I have tried the following, with no luck:
    - booting in safe mode
    - booting in verbose mode
    - booting into single user mode
    - booting into hardware test mode
    - booting in recovery mode
    - booting from the original DVDs
    In all cases it just hangs at the initial white screen. About the only thing that has worked is reseting the PRAM and NVRAM. Which definitly reset the speaker volume and screen brightness, but did not get it to boot any further.
    Oh, and I should note that I have unplugged all external devices and switch back to the orginal (usb) keyboard and mouse.
    Any thoughts on what the issue might be? I have done a number of searches, but I did not find much info about machines hanging so early in the boot process.
    Thanks in advance.

    Good work so far, about the only thing left to try is...

  • Labview 8.0.1 hangs on startup and shutdown

    I have been using Labview 8.0.1 and Teststand 3.5 on my laptop for a few weeks (eval versions)
    during the time I don't have access to my PXI platform.
    Today when I tried to shutdown my laptop, Labview would not shut down and could
    not be terminated. After 10min or so it finally shut down. After reboot of the system, labview
    hangs on startup during "finishing intialization", and must be terminated. I cannot launch it at all.
    Please tell me there is a way to fix it without reinstall.

    Woah there!  Let’s
    take a step back before we take drastic measures…..
    First of all, does your Laptop meet all of the minimum requirements
    of the install of LabVIEW?  Do you have
    sufficient RAM, do you have a supported OS, and do you have a capable video driver?  All of these things make a difference!  Additionally, there is a way to set the NI
    services (or any service for that matter) to run when needed as opposed to
    automatically running on startup. To do this, open the Windows Control Panel,
    and click on “Administrative Tools” and open “Services”.  From here you can start and stop services, as
    well as configure them to run in “manual” mode which will start them only as
    needed.
    There should never be a problem with uninstalling NI
    Software due to NI services running.  The
    proper way to uninstall LabVIEW is to first shut down all NI programs you have
    open.  Then, go to control
    panel->add/remove programs->national instruments software and choose “change”.  From here you can uninstall LabVIEW by
    clicking on it and selecting “remove”. 
    Installing 8.0.1 should have had no effect on the NI services or LabVIEW.  Did you reboot and mass compile the LV directory after the
    8.0.1 install?  It’s also important to note
    that all of the LabVIEW 8.0 installers are the same.  The version of LabVIEW that is installed
    depends on which version is “unlocked” based on the serial number you enter
    when activating LabVIEW.
    It is entirely possible that for some reason one of the NI
    services is hanging, or behaving poorly. 
    I think you were on the right track with starting debugging from that
    point.  We could also try to determine
    which exact service is causing problems, then determine which software that
    service installed with and troubleshoot from there.
    I assure you that many people are running with all sorts of
    NI software combinations on their machines without these problems.  If there is some problem with an NI service
    on your machine, installing a new version of LabVIEW might not make a
    difference anyway.  I do apologize that
    this has been causing you problems, and I thank you for the debugging completed
    so far.  I hope this information proves useful -- please let us know how things
    go!

  • Hangs at startup and not able to get to login screen

    I power up my MacBook Pro and the system hangs displaying just the grey screen and I am unable to access the login screen.  I have tried multiple times to restart the MacBook but I still get the same result - hangs and unable to access the login screen.

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • IPhone hangs at Apple logo, and not recognized by pc

    I've got the weirdest problem. My iPhone 3G is bricked. It will go on, display the apple logo, then display the round "budy" symbol and then hangs for 10 minutes and then it resets itself and starts over.
    I tried to hook it up to my PC but it is not recognized, not by my PC nor by iTunes. The iPhone will charge when connected to the PC, but it's just not transmitting data.
    I can get the iPhone in recovery mode. I turn on iTunes, then I hold the home button, slide the connector in while keeping the hold button down, and then the itunes logo with the cable and the arrow shows up. iTunes however does not recognize it. It is not shown in device manager either.
    I can also get it into DFU (i think). I turn on iTunes. The phone is off, and connected via USB. I hold the power button for 3 seconds (it boots after 1), then press the hold button for 10 seconds (it goes off after 7) and then release the power button while holding the hold button. The iPhone is now in DFU mode (i think, as it does not respond to anything but a forced shutwodn with pwr+hold). Still the PC and iTunes do not recognize any device is connected. As if it is not even there, but the iPhone is being charged.
    I can't restore it now, and I don't know what else I can try. Any suggestions?

    You've done most everything there is to do, on that computer. Try it on another computer before regulating it to paperweight status. It's probably the hardware, but I've had them surprise me a time or two
