    - Try on another computer

  • My iPod touch is stuck on the loading screen. Help?

    I was on an app and it stopped working and went to a screen with a loading symbol that was not moving. I restarted my iPod and now all that comes up is the Apple logo. After a few minutes, the Apple logo will have that loading symbol with it and the loading sign will keep filling in until it is full and white over the Apple logo. I let it sit while I went to work and when I came back, the battery had died like I had hoped. I plugged it into my computer, but it is doing the same thing again. I am very frustrated and have no idea what to do!

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the black screen with apple logo?

    Yesterday I restored my Ipod Touch back to factory settings...thought everything was fine until I realized my wifi option was grey and unclickable and read "no wifi", so I went to settings and hit "restore network settings". The ipod shut off and wont turn on since. Ive tried restarting multiple times, all it does is stay on the black screen with the apple logo. Help please?

    If it's off you should push the top right button and the home button for a few seconds. Rebooting like that always worked for me!

    Hello Melissa,
    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  You may need to try this more than once. 
    Any luck there?
