HT201263 I have the ipad 1, and I tried to reboot it but when I connected my ipad to the computer it did nothing. When it is charging the apple logo simply flashes on and off again. It is trying to start up but can't. Help!
I have an ipad and the only thing it does when you plug it in to the wall is flash the start up apple logo. It will not reboot because itunes can not reconginze it. I have tried holding the home and power button's together but it doesn't help.
I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working. We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger. All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off. It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall. I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on. But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank. itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer. I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me. But thanks so much for the advice. =D

Have you tried rebooting your iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not work, you can try restoring your iPad iOS Software.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Make sure that you read the article all the way through and pay attention to the last part that talks about using recovery mode. -
Lastnight I was just playing away on my iPod and next thing it just went off, it was fully charged and everything. Now it won't come back on and when I plug it into the wall the apple logo just keeps flashing on and off. I have tried to reset it by pressing the on and off button and home button but nothing. How can I get it working again.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

Does the apple logo keeps flashing on and off while restoring
My ipad fell in water and went blank i tried restoring it would show a hardware problem.I got that fixed but it kept showing not charging sign then i forgot my pasword and tried restoring it to the factory setting but mid way it said ur ipad cannot be restored but the restoring process kept going on with the apple icon flashin one too many times in between. please advise.
Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

You said "while it was restoring it said that there was an error ".
What was the wording of the error message?

Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start. Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!
I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

I really need HELP!!! I have a laptop that runs with windows vista, and I have been having issues trying to get it to download the new version of itunes that would be compatible to the new version of ios 7 that I have already updated on my ipad. I have downloaded this three times, it shows that the download is complete, but when I connect my ipad to my laptop it is still telling me that I have to download the new version again and it will not sync with my ipad until I do. Does anyone else have this issue and can anyone help me figure out how to correct it? I would be most grateful!!

My iPad mini keeps turning itself off and then the apple logo keeps flashing constantly, i have charged it fully and restored it many times. what can i do?
If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

Iv been trying to sync new apps I downloaded on my ipad2 and it isnt syncing. when I connect my ipad to itunes on my PC and click on the APPS tab I can see the apps on the PC but they are greyed out
Do you have restrictions enabled on your iPad? Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it turned on. If so - see if you have installing apps turned off. If you do, turn restrictions off on your iPad and that may do it for you.

iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.
