Ipad lock screen and apple sign flashing back and forth.

When I went to use it this morning the white apple logo on a black screen is flashing back and forth with the lock screen. It won't turn off. I tired a hard reset and it didn't work either. I let it die completely and then plugged it back in. Nothing has worked. I am currently in the process of downloading iTunes onto my laptop but from there I'm not sure where to go.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Perform SMC reset and re-verify
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

IPod Touch screen switches back and forth between lock screen and start-up screen.

iPod Touch 4th Generation
My iPod Touch screen has been showing the Apple logo with the loading wheel then it will switch to the lock screen. It keeps going back and forth. My iTunes and iPhoto programs recognize my iPod when I plug it in, but it's the iPod itself that doesn't seem to be working. I've already tried resetting it using the Power and Home button, and restoring it using iTunes. I can't turn the power off unless I reset it. It's still continuing to charge on its own but it won't let me unlock the screen.
I haven't dropped it so I don't know why it's like this. I've just had this replaced literally a month ago, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Anyone experiencing this problem or know what to do?

Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Control center will not work in apps since 8.2 .Works on the lock screen and on my iPad.

As I have already said above, the control center will not deploy in apps on my iPhone 6 since 8.2 It is turned on ,works on the lock screen and on my iPad. Any suggestions?

Check the Settings app to make sure the correct Setting is there to allow showing the Control Center in apps.
Settings > Control Center > Access Within Apps > ON

Apple sign flashing up - iPod not connecting

I have a 4th generation nano which I have had for over 6 months. I've never had any problems connecting it to my computer or charging it.
Now my ipod won't even turn on. When I plug it in to my computer to charge it, my computer does not register it and the iPod screen has the apple sign flashing up every 5 seconds.
I've tried 2 different PC's and a laptop and it does not show up on any of them. I have also tried using different cables but this does not help either.
I have tried the process of resetting but this doesn't make a difference and I can't restore it becuase it needs to show up in itunes to be able to do this.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Let the battery run out. When the battery is completely dead, charge it using a wall adapter (if you have one) or connect to the computer. When the battery is completely dead, it takes some time for the ipod to show in itunes.

Lock screen and keyboard sounds have quit working. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. What else can I do to get the sounds working again?

Four days ago the lock screen and keyboard sounds quit working, but was able to reset the settings. Two days ago I had to do this and turn off the device and then restart it to get the sounds back. Today they suddenly went out and I can't get them working again. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. My OS is up to date. What else can I do to get the sound back?

I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it.

You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
