HT4097 I trie these steps but it only shows the silver apple and it won't go to the home screen.

It won't even open iTunes when I connect it.

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.

    I already try these steps but I still got the problem I can't make a video call at all or receive .

    Here som other steps you can try;
    Make sure that you have an internet connection
    Make sure that you have a valid Apple ID (check here: myinfo.apple.com). Note that your Apple ID  to register FaceTime on iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac must be an email address. You can create a new Apple ID or make changes by visiting myinfo.apple.com and using the “Manage your Account” part.
    Tap Settings > FaceTime to see that your email address is verified. If your status is saying “verifying,”; then try toggling FaceTime off and on (Settings > FaceTime OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
    Try turning FaceTime off and on again using the following (iOS: Settings > Phone OR FaceTime for Mac: FaceTime > Preferences)
    Make sure that FaceTime is enabled (Settings > FaceTime.)
    Make sure that the camera for FaceTime is not restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions.)
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time to check date and time are set correctly.
    Make sure that you are using the correct method for calling the person. iPhone user: Use the phone number; iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac user: Use the email address

  • I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

    How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

    Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

  • I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

    I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

    Thanks Lucas,
    I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info.  My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone.  Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple.  I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

    Connect the charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before you try to turn it on. Then let it charge  untill full. The iPhone (or iPad) need at least a little charge before you can turn it on.

    My Ipad turns on but it wont shoe the window it only shows the apple and stays there

    Peluso123-
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  If the logo is already there, keep holding for at least 20 seconds.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears.  If you are successful, the iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    If that does not work or help, see if this article helps:  <iOS:  Unable to Update or Restore>.

  • I was attempting to upgrade and now my iPhone 3GS will only show the iTunes screen and I can't use it.

    I used the methods listed on the forum to upgrade my iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 to 5.1 and it appeared to be downloading through itunes but I got an error message when it was done downloading and attempting to upgrade.  Now the iphone won't even let me use it.  It only has the iTunes screen on it and doesn't do anything else.  Help!!!!

    If your iPhone had been in use before, it sopunds like it has reset itself.
    If not, that you must connect it to your computer with the USB cable and set it up with iTunes.

    Hi shesmart2,
    So it sounds as if you are not getting video from your MacBook Pro to your external TV display via the HDMI cable. I would suggest looking at this article to start with -

  • Update to 5.1 problems-unresponsive and only shows the sync screen.

    I tried updating my iTouch to 5.1 today. As it tried installing, iTunes said that there was a problem installing the update to my iTouch. Now it shows the picture containing a USB cable that points to iTunes (basically the syncing picture). However, that is all it will show. I have tried restarting and resetting! I have tried syncing as well! Yet my iTouch shows the same picture and iTunes wont read my iTouch.

    I would love if it does happen like that. However, from what I am reading, it seems that my iPod Touch has gone into recovery mode and may be completely bricked. Hoping something happens as I sleep tonight or I will be calling Apple tomorrow trying to get this solved.
