  • My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it , Help!

    My iphone 4 screen is stuck with the apple logo on it and i have tried holding the home button and power button down for 20 seconds but nothing is happining , meaning the phone isnt loading up has anyone got any idea what the problem could be ?

    Plug the phone into your computer via the USB cable and open iTunes.
    Once you have connected the phone to your computer and opened iTunes, hold the home and sleep buttons down until it goes blank.  You are now in DFU mode.  Click the restore button in iTunes.
    Note: You will lose all data.  You can restore from a backup if you previously saved one.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • My Macbook pro 13 inch is stuck on a gray screen with the apple logo, how do I fix this?

    Sooo, I was using my laptop for a while and the charger was kind of broken, it was dip in and out, and slowly I got a "Service Battery" notification. I updated my system and now everytime I try to boot up my computer it'd show a gray screen with the apple logo and a loading bar with a circular loading icon but it never actually boots up. It stays stuck at that loading screen. I don't think it's because I uploaded my system that it happened, but I'm wondering if it's because I didn't change my charger/battery, and I'm wondering if I have to get the harddrive changed or is there a way for me to recover my files and whatnot without having to whip it. Please help, and thanks in advice to any help offered.

    Dwaniej,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the  OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the grey screen now?

  • I tried to erase my ipod from settings but when i try to reboot it, it always freezes with the apple logo. How can i fix this and it doesn't even appear in my itunes?

    I wanted to erase my ipod so i went on settings, then general and then i erased my ipod
    but when the apple logo comes up, it just freezes right there and i try to reboot it but it keeps freezing
    so how can i fix this? please help

    Try a Safe Boot by Restarting and holding down the Shift key between the startup tone and the Apple logo w/pinwheel.  It will take longer to boot up in Safe mode.  If successful, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > select your OSx disk and restart.

  • My iPod touch is frozen with the apple logo, it will not open tho, what can I do to fix it?

    How to reset and make this work again?

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • I have an iPhone 3g that keeps crashing and getting stuck on the apple logo - how can I fix this?

    will restoring to factory settings help? Can this be rectified by sending the phone back to apple and it being repaired?

    This forum is not staffed by Apple.  It is a dialogue with other iPhone owners.

  • My sons iPod touch 5 keeps flashing with the apple logo, how do I sort it?

    My sons iPod touch 5 keeps flashing the apple logo, he was playing on it and then that happened?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, 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 the on-screen 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 and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Stuck with the apple logo screen

    So my iPhone is stuck with the apple logo. I've restarted my iPhone several times and reinstalled itunes. It just stays with the apple logo and when I plug it into itunes it freezes itunes. I can't restore my iPhone, because it's not coming up in iTunes. It's been stuck at the screen with the apple logo for more then an hour. I can reset, but it never finishes loading.
    I'm hours away from an ATT or apple store.

    This problem happened to me. You have a "bricked" phone. The problem was addressed in the thread "Bricked iphone after the 10th sync". Sorry I don't know how to link to it, but it's in this forum, just another topic. I was able to resolve my problem following the fix given by "jsanders74". Good luck.
