IPhone 1st Generation Apple Logo Loop

My Problem: The past few years I've been having a problem with my iPhone 1st Generation.
What's Been Happening: My iPhone has been going into a "Apple Logo Loop"
What I've Been Doing: I've been looking up what I should do. The same thing has been coming up "On the iPhone hold Start/Sleep button and Home button, keep holding it until the Apple Logo shows up. Release both buttons then." I've been doing that but nothing's been happening. What I mean is... the iPhone screen is black. Then, I hold the Power button at the top right until I see the Apple Logo. As I see it, I still hold the Power button but then hold the Home button as well. After that, the screen goes black and then it turns back on. Then, I see the Apple Logo with a little loading sign in the middle, like it's trying to start up. Finally, it just turns off again. Every time I try, it does the same thing. Once, it came up with telling me to plug it into the computer, but then it quickly disappeared. I've also tried to put it into DFU Mode, but it seems that something is blocking it from doing so. It turns off but it seems that something is forcing it to turn back on.
HELP!: I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not sure if it's completely dead and nothing can fix it. I took it to a place to see if they could to attempt to fix it but they failed to do so. If anybody can please be out there and help me that would be completely great. If you do reply, I might not reply back right away, but I will reply sometime during that day.
Thanks

P.S. This is my first time making a post, so I might've done something wrong in the processing...

Hey there,
It sounds like the phone keeps rebooting on its own even during a restore. I would try resetting the device while it is connected to a power source:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists, I would put the device into recovery mode with the following article and attempt the restore 1 more time:

IPhone 5c won't restore, stuck between recovery mode & apple logo loop

Hello all,
I got a lovely little iphone 5c secondhand. The only problem is that it will not cooperate with me.
At first, it was stuck in recovery mode, but I can switch it out of that, and into the apple logo loop or dfu.
No matter what I do though, (recovery mode, dfu, loop), it will NOT restore.
It gives me an error code of 3014 every time.
Once in awhile it also loads a screen of script, that ends in "panic, we're hanging here" or some such.
I HAVE seen it load to the lock screen twice now, but only for a split second. And while it did that, iTunes told me it couldn't connect to "Jessica's iPhone" due to the passcode. So I know something in there still works. Just not sure about what ISN'T working.
I'm REALLY hoping someone on here can help!
And sorry if I don't have all the info you need/posted in the wrong area. First time here.
Thanks in advance!!

IPhone 4 apple logo loop after update, unique problem.

Please take the time to fully read this question before copying and pasting the generic apple help links please
Okay so today I decided to update my phone to the latest iOS version, and upon completion I got the infinite apple logo loop problem. The standard approach I know is to do the recovery solution on your itunes. Well, here lies the problem. My laptop which has my iTunes is currently badly broken, and cannot be used. I thought that oh I'd be able to use my iTunes account on a different computer, but to my annoyance, my password is different to the one I use to confirm IAP. So I try the recovery methods, first birthday. My birthday is wrong, tried a varied range to no avail. Tried email, non of my 3 only used emails work, till I look and see the Apple ID email is slightly different to the ones I currently use, but I can't even create the email it uses as I don't know of any way I can make a .co.uk email now.
So I am stuck in a very unique situation, need to recover my iPhone via iTunes, but my iTunes can't be accessed. Is there anyway around this or am I completely screwed? I don't want to just cut my losses and make a new Apple ID/wipe my phone as I have lots of much needed information in my notes etc that I can't afford to lose and that I don't remember by heart.
Any constructive responses would be greatly appreciated.

if it is stuck in a reboot loop and u HAVE to do a recovery mode restore. there is no choice. u will have to get rid of that information. call applecare (1-800-275-2273) to get help with getting access to ur apple id, but for now, u need to get ur phone working first.
to help with a loop problem sometimes a hard reset will work. hold down the power button and the home button at the same time for 20 seconds. its kinda like holding down the power button on a computer.
if that doesnt work then u will need to place it into recovery mode and do a restore. that WILL delete what is on the phone currently but if u have a back up either on itunes or icloud u can restore that back up onto the phone afterwards.

Hello. My 1st Generation Apple TV with HDMI cable does not turn on. Its a used model purchased on eBay. I've checked and ensured that the electrical plug works. Is there anyway to manually check to see if the unit turns on or do I have a defective uni

Hope I'm using this forum right. I purchased a 1st Generation Apple TV on eBay. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to turn on. I have another Apple TV (1st Generation) that works flawlessly on another TV. So I tried to use the new unit on this TV with same electrical cord and HDMI cable. No luck. It would not turn on. So I do not know if I have a defective unit or if there's another method of turning on the Apple TV. Again:
1. I double checked and it was on the correct HDMI setting (the other Apple TV worked on it) and used the same cable
2. I double checked that the electrical was correct - again, the other Apple TV worked correct.
Any suggestions on fixing this would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A good indication would be the status light to begin with, it should flash rapidly on start up and then settle down (assuming the status light is working-they have a habit of fading)
The other thing you could try is cycling the resolutions in case the previous user has left it on a setting that your TV doesn't support.
Press and hold both the 'menu' and '+' on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
Press '+'or '-' on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
Pause a couple of seconds after each press for the Apple TV to accept your selection.
When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and “If you can see the Apple logo, select OK” appears on your TV screen, press 'select' .
If that doesn't help, I fear the Apple TV is defective.

Does anyone know how to fix a 1st generation apple tv that plays moves by frames?

My 1st generation apple tv is playing moves in frames. Does any one know how to fix this?
I have done a factory reset but did not work?
I have checked that I have the latest softwear 3.0.2. Is this the problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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.

Endless restarting and flashing on Apple logo loop

My iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.2 is in a endless rebooting loop. I cannot turn it off. I cannot restore or recovery or anything in recovery mode or DFU. all of my programs are up to date. When I plug it in the wall it start in a endless loop, apple logo appears, after 3 second a white page blinking and then it restart again.
I checked the battery and power cable and sensor, both of them are working well.
please help me, how should I do? what`s the problem?

As I posted to another similar question, I got this problem fixed followingly (is that a word?):
For those like myself who don't backup your device regularly and fear you may lose data, there is hope. My 4S started looping the apple logo at start up and wouldn't go anywhere from there, the screen went black and then the apple logo would appear again over and over... Browsing around I found that recovery mode and resetting the phone was suggested, some suggested downloading software to fix the issue but I found that rather dodgy so I decided to try something else.
Now I must remind you that opening your phone will void your warranty or such if still applicable, my phone's maybe four three years old and I've replaced the screen myself so I figured I'd try something to shock the phone back into life somehow (think the last popup reminder said I hadn't backed up in 29 weeks so meh).
What I did was opened up the back cover and removed the battery, plugged it back into the charger (other end in my mac) but the loop would still occur. I plugged and unplugged a few times, unplugging right after the apple appeared, hoping for this to "confuse" the phone which was so stubbornly stuck in "recovery mode" (from what I've understood through other threads). Notice that the phone did appear to turn on without the battery connected, but plugged into a power source (not sure if that should happen since after dead battery you need to charge a while until the phone wakes up), just something mildly interesting I picked up on.
This did not appear to have any effect tho, but I decided to pop the battery back in its place (I did leave out the little black plate that goes between the battery connector and the motherboard, covering the antenna cables connecting point, not sure if that had any effect or how it would effect fully working phones (I only use this phone as an "ipod" since the sim reader has been dead for some time, but I still use the camera and music)). Pressed the power button and noticed the apple logo stayed for longer than before (became hopeful!) and eventually made way for my home-screen!
That's how I got it working, don't know if you can do a similar thing with other models. And sorry for rambling on like that, that's just how I express myself and I can't afford to hire an editor to work my internet posts. But I can leave a TL;DR version.
TL;DR Iphone 4s stuck on logo loop? disconnect battery and do magic.

Apple logo loop / recovery mode

I was updating my iPhone 4s to ios 8 and needed to use my phone. I pressed the power butting but with no luck I held the power button and home button together until the phone shut off. It came back on with the recovery itunes logo and cord screen.
My photos are my work and they're so important that I cant do a restore because I dont have a backup. I read about Reiboot, Tinyumbrella, Recboot etc. I decided to give Reiboot a try and I plugged my iPhone in, clicked "exit recovery mode" and it told me the exit recovery was successful. But my iPhone just went into an apple logo loop. I tried many things to get it out of the loop but the only thing I could do was put it back in recovery mode. Is there any way I can get to my files? Any help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid at this point your data is lost and the only option is to connect in recovery mode to your computer and restore the phone:

IPhone 1st Generation

Where can i find iPhone 1st Generation cases?
I need a case for my old iphone.

kitycat714,
There are plenty of cases for the original iPhone still on the Apple Store Online: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories/cases?n=iphone1&mco=MTI4MTM3Ng&s=topSellers
As long as it names "iPhone" under the "This accessory is compatible with the following" portion, it should work with the original. If not, it will explicitly display "iPhone 3G". As always, if there is any doubt, it's best to contact the manufacturer of the case to inquire.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any downloads are finished, the icon disappears. I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes. Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail. Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies. Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'. Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab. Hey Presto! The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading. Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me. Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem. Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie! We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV. Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it! We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough. We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same. One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired. There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie. Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?

I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8
