HELP! Frozen Ipod on Apple Logo

Ok, Ive had my ipod nano since Christmas, and last night I charged it (overnight) on my docking station and today, I took it off, and tried to turn it on, and only the apple logo screen came up. I tried resetting it and it didnt work, and it definately isnt locked or on hold. After a bit, a website adress came up- the apple Support site. Then, the ipod went off again. I tried turning it back on again and it is now frozen on the apple logo screen again. Resetting doesnt help, as ive tried it, and the ipod definately isnt on hold and locked. Please help! Im desperate! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    My ipod touch is frozen with the Apple logo. I can't do anything with it. Help!

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

  • HT201412 My ipod touch is frozen on the apple logo and thinking circle at the same time. How do i fix it?

    Hey guys, i really need help. The other day, i was playing a game on my ipod touch and it froze up. So i turned it off and turned it back on, and it's frozen on the apple logo with a blurry thinking circle right under it. Pleas Help! Thanks!

    You do what the screen is telling you.  Connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.

    Unknown "source"?  Do you mean unknown "error" followed by a number?

    Follow the instructions in the article.  When you connect your phone again, you may have to press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • I was updating my ipod and had to stop it so held down the power and home buttons. Now my ipod is frozen with the apple logo showing. The computer will not recognise it so it will not charge or restore. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    I was updateing the software on my ipod through the wireless straight to the ipod and had to stop so held down both the power and the home buttons. Now the screen is frozen with the apple logo and the normal 'unfreeze' technique won't work. The computer does not recognise the ipod so will not charge or restore it. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

  • 30gb iPod - Frozen Screen displaying Apple Logo, can't reset

    Yesterday I downloaded the latest updater for the above iPod. Now the screen of the iPod is frozen on the Apple logo and repeated resets haven't cleared it.
    Added to that is the fact that the newly installed Updater doesn't recognise that the iPod is plugged in/mounted, so I can't even restore itto factory settings and start over.
    Furthermore, itunes doesn't recognise the ipod anymore, although Windows does. I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes but this hasn't cleared it. I've deleted and reintalled both the original 2005 - 10 - 12 Updater and the newer 2006 - 03 - 23 version and still the ipod isn't recognised and still the apple logo remains and is unresetable (if that's a word!).
    So, one simple download and I'm screwed. Any advice would be welcome. Also, I'm now seeing a 'generic volume F:' in a sub-directory of the iPod USB device, in device manager and when I safely remove the pod.
    Thanks in advance.

    You said the iPod is "stuck in infinite reboot loop on apple logo screen." Just let that continue until it stops to drain the battery.
    You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free

  • IPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off

    iPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off, unresponsive to physical touch. Frozen without looking frozen.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
