IPad not charging and stuck in an apple logo loop???

Cam back from hols and my iPad battery (which was low when I left) appeared to have died. Plugged iPad in overnight and left it to charge.
Nothing seemed to have happened this morning, and have been trying to get it to work since, trawling google and these forums with no luck.
When plugged into the mains charger the apple logo come on for a few seconds then goes off, then comes on, then goes off and on and on...
When plugged into my iMac the screen remains blank, no charging sounds etc.
I managed to get the iPad into DFU mode and started the restore process, but it errors out after preparing the ipad for restore for quite some time.
Any suggestions? I've booked a genius bar appointment for tomorrow, but really don't want to have to traipse all the way into london to get it seen to.

Did you try a reset....hold home and sleep/wake buttons down at same time and don't let up until you see the Apple logo on a black screen....then leave it alone...sometimes takes a few minutes to come back to life.

HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

Jahnavi,
two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
> Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
> Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

Ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

IPAD NOT STARTING. IT GOES FROM APPLE LOGO TO SEARCH WHEEL AND THEN BACK TO APPLE LOGO AND DOESN'T STOP.

I'VE HAD MY IPAD A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. IT NOW WONT START UP AND IM PAST MY WARRANTY. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE APPLE LOGO AND THE WAIT/SEARCH WHEEL. IT WONT DO ANYTHING ELSE. I CHARGE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, IT BURNS OUT THE BATTERY LIFE. WHAT COULD THIS BE? I HAVE TRIED TO RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS, WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS THE THIRD APPLE PRODUCT MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED, THAT BREAKS OR MALFUNCTIONS RIGHT AFTER THE YEAR WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER BUY AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN WITHOUT ADDED WARRANTIES, IF AT ALL. ALL THOUGH THE TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT, LET'S JUST SAY THAT I HAVE MY DOUBTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS, THE COST OF SERVICE AND THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTIES.

Hopefully the USB port on your computer will keep the iPad charged until the restore completes. If your computer is relatively new, you should have enough power coming through the USB port to at least keep the power coming in as it is draining. What I mean is it might not be charging, but hopefully it is not draining either. Just keeping the iPad at the status quo with regard to battery power.
You should not be charged if you simply want to make an appointment to bring your iPad into an Apple Store. Was there an option to get past all of that support nonsense and just speak to a human being? Did you try my favorite trick and just dial 0?

My iPad 3 64gb is in recovery mode and will not startup correctly, stuck in the boot logo loop..

problem is iTunes wants to restore while I have no backup(i know stupid move on my part esp. since I just got back from an amazing summer trip and so....yea Ive been busy and really it is my fault. I had bought this iPad from ebay for a good deal tho it did have some physical damage and a small glitch. I had it for a year now and it was working just fine up until a couple of weeks ago. I think my kid brother tried to update to iOS 8 and it caused it to do what it is doing now. I heard people have been able to get to of the loop without restoring. I'm a college student and so I've had little time to work on it. I tried a few ways using wondershare and some other program but nothing has worked. I'm really trying to avoid restore on iTunes so if you guys can help me get my iPad back to normal that would be great!!
If I do restore and then (I'm sure) it will delete all my pics (which is what I'm most worried about) then will there be some way I can get them back using a program like wondershare dr phone?? I am especially asking those who have experience with this. if it is a bit complicated, do you think I should take it to some professional they'd be able to take care of this problem?
thank your for your time! i do appreciate it!!

I checked more than once.. sometimes I turn it off for different reasons
what ***** is I planned on uploading the pics but then this happened..I'm not sure why it even went into the apple logo loop. I heard you can get out of it but I tried a few problems and was unsuccessful. If you or anyone have knowledge of any programs I could use I'd greatly appreciate it
thanks for your response!!!

IPad Not Charging w/ 10 watt non-Apple USB charger

Yes, I've read that the iPad requires a 10 watt charger. I have the original iPad 10W USB charger, and also a high quality 10W USB charger that came with my HP TouchPad. When using the TouchPad charger - which is rated for 5V @ 2A (10W) the iPad says "Not Charging."
Why is that? The TouchPad charger works perfectly with every other USB-powered device I own: hard drives, cameras, phones, TouchPad, etc. The cable works fine with the Apple OEM iPad charger; but stops working when connected to the non-Apple-OEM 10 watt charger. Does the OEM charger send a signal that tells the iPad to charge? Dell power adapters do this (annoyingly). Does Apple do it too? I haven't seen any disclosure of such signals from Apple.
Why does the iPad fail to charge when presented with the proper voltage and current specs? Does the iPad require only Apple-branded chargers?

Bsanders, I've had the EXACT same experience you describe using as you note a very high quality HP Touchpad 10W, 5V USB charger, whether I use the Apple or a 3rd party cable. Despite what Nathan says, I have also had the same experience ("Not Charging" message) using other 3rd party, same voltage if lower wattage, USB chargers that Nathan suggests should work. Only my Apple charger will work and give a prompt charge and there is no specification reason the 10W HP USB charger shouldn't. I am not cutting a cost corner here, rather, I prefer the HP charger design as superior (smaller, same power, smaller interchangeable/twist-on international supply prongs, packs better, black color). I strongly suspect there IS some type of proprietary signal or cabling involved to push users to Apple chargers only. I would ask Nathan to dig a bit deeper for an explanation or workaround. Thanks

Thinkpad Yoga S1 not charging and stuck at 800mhz - even after servicing

After giving up and sending my Thinkpad in for service, it still (after being at the depot for two weeks!) still not fixed.
I have to admit, I am dissapointed with Lenovo's service so far, it is clear the technicians did little to no diagnostics at all to confirm the issue was fixed.
My issue is as follows:
1) The computer will run INDEFINITELY on the power adapter. This is NOT a case of a faulty power adapter (occurs with two different adaptors) or a faulty power port (again, the machine will run until the cows come home on the adapter.
2) The computer is stuck at 800mhz. I can get it 'unstuck' as long as it is unplugged and I toggle the multicore option in BIOS.
3) Once plugged in, the CPU will return and remain at 800mhz, even if it is unplugged, shutdown, rebooted, etc.
4) The battery will not charge. The laptop will run off battery power if the battery has power (came back from the depot at 99%, down to 90% now) but will not charge the battery at all, only maintain the level. This is the case whether the computer is in Windows, or turned off.
This is Windows 8.1 by the way, so there is no option to set a charge level to maintain. That being said, last time (before I sent it in) I drained it to < 50% and it still never charged, even when it hit 0% and the laptop stopped detecting the battery (but still ran off the ac adaptor).
The unit also had some ghosting on the LCD, and it took me a while to convince the techs to swap it out. I think my mistake was I wiped the unit, and so they were too lazy (?!) to actually test it, since once you use the computer for 5 minutes it was very obvious (I offered to send pictures, as I documented the issue but they declined). That issue has thankfully been resolved.
This is the first "post-IBM" Thinkpad I've owned, and I have to say between this and that abysmal clickpad I am not impressed.

I recently had this problem too with my Yoga S1 after a system driver update. I noticed during the updates that I received a message that the BIOS update failed. The message came and went very rapidly and the updates continued and completed with no problems. Usually when a firmware update fails, nothing in the BIOS is really changed. I turned the computer off and thought nothing of it. The next time that I turned it on though I too had this problem. After repeated pressings of the power switch and pressing the reset button it finally booted and seemed like all was good, until I did a reboot, and it started again. After much more pressing buttons it finally did boot again. That's when I remembered the failed BIOS update. I didn't trust the auto update program, so I went to Lenovo's site and dowloaded the latest firmware and attempted to update it manually. When I ran the update program it failed again. What I wound up doing was just keep trying. After repeating the update program four or five times, it finally completed successfully. I have no idea why it kept failing or why after many attempts it finally worked. After the update finally worked the problem seems to have been resolved, at least it hasn't done it again,,,yet. Hopefully this will give some others hope in that it can be resolved without sending it off if you can get it to get it to boot again.

Macbook pro will not boot, gets stuck on great apple logo with spinning wheel.

I have a Macbook Pro A1287 13" Core2Duo Intel running Mavericks. This morning it would not boot and got stuck at the grey apple logo with the spinning wheel. I have tried:
1. Resetting PRAM
2. Resetting SMC
3. Starting in Safe Mode
4. Boting to recovery partition and verifiying and repairing both disc and permissions
Unfortunately none of these have worked.
I thought after reading other discussions that it may be the sign/start of hard drive failure and that the hard drive may be corrupt.
The strange thing is that I swapped the hard drive with another macbook pro that I use in work and it boots to the HD no problem, all my files and desktop are as expected.
So, I thought this must be a hardware issue, maybe something to do with the hard drive cable, the battery or worse the main board, but when I put my work macbook hard drive in my macbook it also boots. Other than swapping the machines, I'm not really sure what to do.
One thing to note is that I have noticed over the past few months that the clock will have re-set when booting up and that occasionally the machine will turn off with no warning and reboot.
I would have thought if it was a hard drive problem, the drive would not boot in any machine, and if it were a hardware problem then the machine would not boot with different drive in it.
Any ideas, would be appreciated.

Thanks Linc for the swift answer. From what I have read on this discussion board and from other sources the model of Macbook I have does not have a logic-board battery, but may have a soldered on capacitor.
Also, would this not cause the other drive I tried in the laptop to fail to boot also, as I said in my original post, the machine works ok with a boot drive from my work macbook pro. Just trying to eliminate all possible causes before taking it in somewhere to be looked at by a technician.

Battery Not Charging and stuck at 0%

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro on which the battery suddenly appears to have died. It was working fine, I switched it off when I went away for the weekend and on Monday morning it's behaving as if a battery wasn't plugged in. As soon as I unplug the power the laptop turns off.
Battery Information in System Profiler says;
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 0
Fully charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 0
Health Information:
Cycle count: 169
Condition: Check battery
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12511
What's the opinion of this board - just a dead battery? The laptop is almost exactly 2 years old, what are the chances of Apple kindly giving me a replacement?
Thanks in advance.
Paul

"is there anyway i can auto-update battery firmware, whenever it is released? "
Check Software Update. Or go to:
HD/System/Library/SystemConfiguration & look for a file called batteryupdater.bundle. Select Get Info for the file.
If its version number is 1.2 or 1.3 you should be fine If not, or if you cannot locate a batteryupdater.bundle file (by using Spotlight, searching manually or using a 3rd party search feature) then download an update from Apple's website & install it. If installing has no effect, you probably need a new battery.
Make sure you calibrate your battery every month or 2. You will need to read your user manual to determine the correct amount of times for _*your model*_ MBP.
Make sure your MBP is getting proper ventilation. According to the user manual it states in part:
+"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."+
See User Tip: Apple notebook batteries – maintenance and troubleshooting

It would help if you would complete My Settings which is located in the column on the right under your name and filling in the information asked for. Thank you.

My iPhone has been stuck in the apple logo loop

I tried to restore the software using iTunes. It came up with the error " The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9). After talking with tech support they said that it was a hardware issue. Does anybody know what component i need to replace?

See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
There are no user serviceable parts in an iPhone, and no legitimate source for replacement parts, as Apple does not sell them. Thus, any part you buy was scavenged from some other phone and may or may not work. There's also no way to identify which part might need replacing. Most likely it is the logic board, but there's no way to know for sure. Apple will replace the phone for $269 if out of warranty, free if in warranty.

My iPhone 5 overheated yesterday and now it won't turn on. When I plug it to charge it only flashes the Apple logo. I've restored my device on iTunes but it's still not turning on. Help!

So I charged my phone yesterday but it didn't seem to get charged because the battery percentage went lower instead of higher after I plugged out my phone. Then the battery percentage subsequently got lower even faster, jumping from 28% to 15% within ~a minute. It was very hot too, so maybe overheating was the problem. Then I tried charging my phone again after leaving it to cool but it won't charge and keeps flashing the Apple logo.
I've tried to no use:
1. pressing the Power button and Home button together for a long time
2. restoring my device (on iTunes it says that my phone's updated, but it still won't turn on)
Should I just send my phone to Apple for them to fix it or for a replacement?

I'm sorry, it seems that the problem is that my phone WON'T restore. I just tried restoring again and it keeps giving me the 2001 error. Help.

I restarted my iPad but it is just stuck on the apple logo. Please help

I restarted my iPad, but it is stuck on the apple logo. Please help.

If a reset doesn't work, you will have to try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode (data will be lost)
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Add me to the list of people furious with Apple about this problem...
...I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Spain, and on day 3 of the holiday my iPhone rebooted itself and stuck at the Apple logo.
What's more annoying, I'd purchased a data abroad plan from o2 for £50 and hardly used it because I couldn't use my iPhone because it was stuck on the **** Apple logo. o2 will not refund the plan I purchased because I had started to use it (about 2.3MB to be precise).
Good job my girlfriend had her trusty Sony Ericsson phone because at least it WORKS as a phone, unlike this **** iPhone 3G which only has one use - as an expensive paperweight.
Come on Apple, at least admit there is a problem and show your loyal customers that you are actually aware there is a serious problem that is causing your iPhones to become utterly useless.
I'm seriously thinking of gettting rid of this iPhone and getting a cheap no frills phone - at least I can use it to make calls.

I have an unlocked 3GS and it is NOT jailbroken. It ran out of battery last night and when i charged it this morning it has got stuck on the apple logo wont do anything else. My computer doesnt pick it up either! Can somebody HELP please!!!

nb. i havent updated it for a while to its running a 3. something software.

Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, then restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons until you see the Apple logo. If that don't fix you problem take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

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 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.
