Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on.  I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change.  Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again.  Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete.  Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop.  Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes.  You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

  • IPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button

    iPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button but I dont see the apple logo. The battery is fully charged and when I plug it in to my computer, I can use iTunes to do everythng except backup the iPad since its passcode locked. Please help me resolve this problem. I don't have apple care

    Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

    try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • My macbook air has a black sreen, I can hear the apple chime when power is pressed but is stuck on black screen

    My Macbook Air has black screen, I can hear the apple chime when power is pressed but is stuck on this black screen.
    Also had beeps, 3 beeps was able to stop doing command/alt...
    What is going on???

    3 Beeps on POST usually indicates a memory problem.
    You will need to take it in for service, as you can't even so much as re-seat the memory on an Air.

    Hello there, Faustinamarfo.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Particularly:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • How can i fix my iphone 3g if and only it displays the apple logo when it is connected to its charger but it displays nothing when the charger is removed?

    how can i fix my iphone 3g if and only it displays the apple logo when it is connected to its charger but it displays nothing when the charger is removed?

    Plug it into a wall outlet and leave it plugged in for approximately 20 minutes.
    Then try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.
    Does the device power on at this point?  If not, the battery or logic board is gone.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation.
    It may be worth replacing the battery, but I personally wouldn't spend the $149US for an Out of Warranty replacement on a 3+yr old device.

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?
