This is copied form the article that you were reading when you posted this question to the forum. Did you try using Recovery Mode to restore the iOS software?

Ipod screen is blank except for Apple symbol.

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with their iPod touch. It recently just decidd to conk out. By conk out I mean it's a black screen with the Apple symbol. I've tried turning it off and turning it on again. But that doesn't work. I even left it off for a couple days but that didn't help either. I had a couple of apps on it...do you think maybe it has a virus? Is there anything I can do myself to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have never heard of a virus on an unjailbroked iOS device
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.

Try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is blank except for a little circle going round and round and I ccant switch the device off

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is black with just a small circle in the middle going round and round. I thought i would switch it off but it wont let me do that either. HELP

Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT1338 MacBook Pro 13.3: Desktop screen will not come up when turned on. Screen is blank except for an icon of a folder with a question mark on it, in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, laptop making a clicking noise.

My MacBook Pro 13.3 MAC OS X v10.7 laptop will not come up. Blank screen comes up, no color/desktop, etc., only an icon of a folder in the middle of the screen with a question mark on the folder. Laptop making a clicking noise. Suggestions? Thanks!

It's under warranty. Take it in to have Apple fix it.
The "flashing ?" means the machine can't find the start up disk. The clicking noise is a give away that the drive is damaged.

Try restarting the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

Screen is blank except for background

My Imac was giving me disk errors which I was able to fix with the Disk Utility on the install CD.
But when I log into the system under my username, all I get is the background and a little magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner. If I try to click on that I get the never ending spinning color wheel.
I can log into the system with any other user just fine. All the files saved under my documents are fine because I can access them through the network.
Is there any way to restore my desktop?

Well All i can think of is go on a differnt account and try deleting your account then reseting it you can have it compresed into a dmg if you need to save your files

My iPad 2 screen goes blank then goes to home screen on it's own. How do I fix it?

My iPad 2 screen goes blank then goes to the home screen on its own. Any application I was using is closed when the home screen reappears. How do I fix this?

Try a Reset...
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.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Restore from iTunes. It is hard to say if you want to backup or rather revert to an old backup. I would recommend to save the previous backups to a safe place and then backup the current state and later test the backups incase your iPhone comes back to proper life.

TS3694 Trying to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. Now the screen is dark except for the iTunes icon and an icon showing the charger cable pointing to the icon. Bricked out at that point.

Tried to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. When I looked at the phone a while later, the screen was dark except for the iTunes icon in the middle of the screen and another icon showing the charger cable and an arrow point to the iTunes icon. Now I'm bricked out of the phone. When I hold down the power button after the screen goes completely dark, the Apple logo appears, then the iTunes icon I described.

Hi Aphthonius,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:

I have been attempting to wipe/erase the iphone 4S I recently purchased...for the past 20 hours....I went to Reset in Settings and clicked on "Erase All Content and Settings"....At that point the phone the screen went dark except for a white circular symbol revolving - indicating something should be happening....
The instructions indicated that, depending on what needed to be erased, the process could take several hours. Even though the device had a Tom Tom application with all the maps of Europe etc (about 2GB) and there were several other apps on the device, it does not seem to me normal that the device would be still clearing into the next day - today!
Can you please help!?

Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off, then release.
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Downloaded firefox 5 and now screen is black except for toolbar

My laptop has windows XP. I downloaded Firefox 5 and my screen is black except for the toolbar. It doesn't matter which site I try to get to, the screen is still black. I had to go to my IGoogle homepage an access the help link because once I go back to Firefox, black screen again. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 5. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to go back to the older version of Firefox.

I tried to download firefox, but the homepage is now all blank except for the browser bar at the top!? Normally the firefox logo would be on the homepage, along with the rest of the homepage designs. Whats wrong?

When I downloaded firefox, the firefox home page was all blank, except for the browser bar at the top of the page. Normally, the logo would be on the homepage, in the center. Also, the other designs along both sides of the page are missing! What is wrong? I've tried at least 8 times to reload firfox to see if maybe it didn't load properly, but the same blank homepage appears! Can you email me with an answer please!?!? Thanks! Sal Cannone.

What is the home page?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
