Frozen Apple Logo

I just got my hands on my roommate ipod with hopes to fix it.
well.. the issue:
so It turns on, the apple logo appears (no backlight) and it stays there. I have some clicks going on and it still sits there. It sits frozen in the logo screen for hours, nothing happens.
I put it in disk mode and connected it to a pc. It works. the ipod comes up with all the music, and it even plays too. Everything functioning normal right? no.
So I tried restarting from disk mode and nothing happened but the stupid apple logo again.
After that i decided to put it back into disk mode and connect it to itunes.
I restored the ipod with the original factory settings, and it worked.. or did it?
I got the apple logo to appear with the loading bar at the bottom, as if it would reset. NO
it didn't reset, instead just sat there with the stupid logo again and didn't actually start up.
I've tried each step individually. it cant get passed that stupid logo. I don't think its the hard drive, its spinning/reading and playing music.
Keep in mind I connected it and restored it once with a pc then with a mac, and nothing happened differently.
It might be software issues?

Hi, I had the same issue with mine. I got it back into the menu after trying to make one partition in Disk Utility but the iPod won't sync and freezes up Disk Utility and iTunes. I tried to format the iPod but that won't work. I get the message that the disk cannot be deactivated in Disk Utility. Anyone?

I made factory restore to my iphone and after it restarted i have a frozen apple logo and some colored pixels to the top of the display, I ve restarted several times holding power and menu button(hard reset) but the problem remains the same.

Was your iPhone Jailbroken before the restore? Beacause the pixels only come on the boot screen of a Jailbroken iPhone.

How to i get my iphone 5 unstuck from a frozen apple logo

Hello Beau460,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
Best of luck,
Mario

Frozen Apple Logo and Kernel Panic

Over the weekend I went to sleep and when I woke up I noticed that the power in the apartment had gone out. I turned on my iMac G5 running 10.4.6 and was greeted by the grey Apple logo and spinning wheel. I shut down unplugged everything, and turned my machine back on to the same results. Afterwards I tried repairing the disk from my OSX dvd. Tried a few times, but kept getting the same two errors that it didn’t seem to repair. Tried to boot up again and this time I was greeted by a blinking earth and then blinking question mark and then the machine showed a kernel panic screen. I tried running disk warrior and the program seems to run ok and only list one set of things that it could not repair, but when I check the preview my Users folder and other folders are missing. I see applications, documents, and a few others, but the total GB in all of these folders in the preview is only about 50-60 GB. However disk warrior correctly shows that the total HD space is 233GB, with 44 remaining, which is roughly the amount, give or take a few GB I had remaining before I went to sleep. I called Alsoft and they had me try to rebuilt from my older iMac running 10.4.2 in target mode, and as a root user, but both times I got the same results. Do you know what else I can do to recover my data or repair my HD. I’ve pretty much conceded to the fact that I just want to get all my working data on my external HD then erase and reinstall OSX and drag my data back. What else can I do? Any suggestions?

1. If necessary, go dig up your original system disks that came with the iMac G5.
2. Check the labels. One should explain how to start up from that disk to use the hardware test it contains.
3. There is also a 'read me' file on that disk explaining exactly how to use it.
4. The same info is in the paper User's Guide manual that came with your iMac -- page 58 if we have the same model, as I think we do. If not, check the contents under "Troubleshooting."
5. If none of these guides are accessible, try the appropriate online manual for your model, available through the "Manuals" link at the top of this page.
If the new iMac's HD does not show up in the old Mac's Finder even with a "pass" from AHT & the repair attempts you have made with Disk Warrior, I know of no other way to access the data other than with Data Rescue or a similar tool, or with a data recovery service, which is generally quite expensive.

2nd Generation iPod with frozen Apple logo

Tried to reset this iPod using the menu/play button technique. Just returns to logo. When I plug into USB, iTunes doesn't recognize and neither does my computer. Stuck and don't know what to do.

That sounds like the 3rd gen iPod. However, it is designed to work with FireWire as well. It may sync over USB if the battery is topped off, but it does not charge over USB. The only way to use USB is to use this special two-ended cable that has both a FireWire and USB connector.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9688G/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw
The USB end goes to the USB port on the computer. The FireWire end goes to the square white wall power adapter to supply power to the iPod while it syncs.

When I turned on my iPod Touch, I got the frozen Apple logo. I tried connecting to my computer by USB but iTunes would not recognize my iTouch. Holding down the Sleep+Home buttons only restarted back to the frozen Apple logo screen again. Finally, I found putting the iTouch in "Restore mode" http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/10/15/how-to-force-your-ipod-touch -into-restore-mode.html
where you hold down both Sleep+Home, then let go of Sleep while still holding down Home. After a couple of tries, iTunes is now attempting to restore my iTouch.

when you're stuck on the apple logo, the operating iOS doesn't load so itunes could not detect the device

My iPad mini would not connect in order to download an update, I decided to go to original settings, the screen is frozen showing the apple logo and nothing else, it will not respond.

Try a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Try as much as you can. When it says to place in recovery mode use this program instead.

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing. Never install anything if you do not know what it is. Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick. Although I am not positive.
Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.
GOOD LUCK!
