I dont know how to get my iphone 3g to work. it will turn on and show the apple logo then it goes black. itunes will not recognize it and it wont reset

I've tried charging it for days. it doesnt do anything. I'll hold the home and power button for 10 seconds and it just shows the apple logo and then goes black. and when i plug it into my computer it wont recognize it.

Does it charge when you connect it to the adapter? If yes, make sure it is charged for about 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
If still not recognized, try the troubleshooting here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Hi! I purchased my ATV in Miami, but I live in Argentina. I have not been able to get the device running on any TVs. When I plug it in, it briefly shows the apple logo, then a sign saying no signal, check power cords and power source or sthg like that.

    Hi!
    I purchased my AppleTV in Miami, but I live in Argentina.
    I have not been able to get my device running correctly, and altough I've read tons of things online, I still have no solution to my problem.
    Here's the thing: after everything's plugged in and ON, I see the Apple logo briefly, then the TV displays a sign that says no signal, check pwoer cords and power source.
    But everything is plugged in and connected properly, otherwise, I doubt I'd be seeing the apple logo, right?
    I tried changing the HDMI cable, reversing the ends, switching ports, hard resetting the ATV, and trying a different TV. No luck.
    I read there is some issue with Samsung TVs, and most LED and LCD tvs down here are Samsung.
    On the other hand, I cannot return it or exchange it, since I bought it in the states.
    Oh! One of the tvs I tried it on displays a little sign that reads "connected at 1280x720 @60hz", and only THEN, goes to the "no signal" sign.
    Please!!! I am being driven up the walls here.... HELP!!

    Try this:
    Change the Apple TV resolution:
    Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
    The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
    Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

    Hello s0ha1b
    If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.

  • How can I fix my iPod that the screen shows the apple logo then goes black then back and will NOT connect to iTunes?

    I turned off my iPod then turned it back on. The normal apple logo appeared on the screen but then it went black and it won't connect to my iTunes. What should I do and what are my opptions.

    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.

  • How to on your ipad if it only shows the apple logo then it swithes off

    my ipad switches off when i try to on it it just shows the apple logo

    Charge it for at least 1 hour via a wall outlet,
    Then try this,
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    (How to update your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

    2. when connecting your phone hold the honme button until you see the iTunes icon with a usb on it
    iTunes may (or may not) show up and click the restore button
    Your iPhone will hopefully fixed then

  • My iphone 4s got wet and shows the apple logo when charging but nothing else?

    When i hold the home button in and its on charge the apple logo will appear for 5 seconds then go but nothing else, with out being connected for charge nothing happens.

    It's water damaged. It is not in warranty. The warranty was voided when it got wet.
    The replacement phone will inherit the balance of the original warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.
