IPhone screen stuck on Apple logo, iPhone cancels sync in iTunes

I noticed the volume indicator read "headphones" when the headphones were no longer plugged in. Then it all got worse from there. I have read many posts and tried many things multiple times but can not get the phone to work. The black screen w/ the logo is stuck. I can get the picture on the screen of the plug & iTunes icon (for connecting to iTunes v9), but that soon leaves and returns the logo screen. When I connect to iTunes a message appears "recovery mode detected must restore" which I try to do (I get all the common messages, extracting, preparing, waiting, restoring, verifying, restoring firmware, iphone has been restored to factory settings). But when I get to the "Set Up Your iPhone" page and attempt to restore from any recent backups I get error messages that go something like this: Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The device is not connected.; not sync iPhone canceled sync; could not sync contacts iPhone canceled sync; could not sync cannot read or write to disk. Also note, that little circle of status bars goes around and around (on the screen w/ the logo) at times but nothing happens. Any suggestions before I trek an hour to the Apple store?

Strange looks from the Genius at the Apple store when explaining my problem. He looked at the terminals with what looked like a otoscope and said the moisture sensors were activated (the 2 visible w/out taking phone apart, in each terminal jack, headphone & charger). Then he went in the back room to take phone apart to see if the internal sensor was activated. It was not, therefore my phone was covered by warranty and it was replaced at no cost other than my time and gas. I JUST WANT TO SAY my phone has never been around water. These phones need to be better designed (i.e., use gold plated terminals) to handle humidity from your pocket, from being in a bathroom when you shower, from moving from cold enviroment to hot, etc. This is my 4th iPhone in less then 2 years. I like to talk my Apple products up to my pc freinds but when I have issues like this they stick it to me.

  • Ipod Mini screen stuck on Apple Logo?

    The screen is stuck showing only the apple logo. I have tried resetting it but it doesn't do anything. I have plugged it up to my pc and started my itunes and it isn't reading the Ipod either.

    Hello Lisa03,
    By a reset, I assume you meaning holding the Select and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears correct? No response at all when you do that? Have you made sure the hold switch wasn't on.
    If you cannot get the iPod to reset, your only option at this point is to let the battery completely drain. Once it has, you can hook it up to your computer, and let it charge long enough for it to be recognized by your computer and iTunes.

  • Stuck on apple logo, won't connect to itunes

    My iPod touch 4th Genereation is stuck on the apple logo after updating it, it also can't be recognized by itunes.
    Really stuck as all answers seem to either be about one.
    Please help.

    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.

    Hi Guys!
    I'm German, so my english writing might not be perfect
    I had the same Issue on a 5 i bought. Exact same screen and writing. Battery was totally drawn, first thing I had to replace. The screen had been replaced and since then it wouldn't work anymore according to the previous owner.
    It took me a couple hours, after recieving a few errors like 4013 it just never completed the restore, got really hot as well. The Flexwire of the Dock Connector seemed damaged, replaced the dock, but that didn't help.
    I almost gave up, thought the Logic Board was bad.
    BUT! Then i deceided to check if it has anything to do with the Screen assembly, and it did.
    Long story short, on mine the front facing camera, and sensor assy were bad.
    Anyhow, the phone works ''perfect'' when i leave them unplugged. So I just ordered a new one and we will see if thats the problem or if the damage is in the Logic Board.
    If so, i can live without the sensor and front cam.
    Just wanted to share, good luck everyone.

  • IPhone 3GS cannot charge and gets stuck at apple logo screen

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS, and yesterday it ran out of charge.  I plugged it into my wall socket as normal, but all I got was the black screen with the apple logo, which disappeared after about 15 seconds.  I have tried to hold down the home and on/off key together; to try and restore it, but nothing happened.  I have tried to plug into my computer and open in iTunes, but iTunes does not find it.  The only thing it appears to do when it is plugged into anything, is show the apple logo on the screen and then switch off after about 15 seconds.  Anyone go any suggestions what I might be able to do?  Thank-You (PS I am not technically minded so no techno speak would be appreciated)

    But it was working perfectly well until yesterday.
    Everything works until the day it breaks...  Most electronics that fail don't give any warning.
    I like the 3GS, so would like to be able to repair it, if I can?
    Re-read the last sentence of my last post.

  • I have iphone 3gs 32 GB attempt to Reset-Erase all settings now stuck with Apple logo

    I have iphone 3gs, i have downloaded free games and apps from app strore installed and it was working fine. i even updated the games a couple of times. Two days ago  I attempt to Reset-Erase all settings & Content of my phone. It was stuck with apple logo. till now. What to do? Now it is stuck there and when I connect it to my PC it does not appear there also.
    It is just charging and chargning only. when i disconnect it shows battery low.
    Help please. Please... Please...............

    Force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • Hi, iphone 3gs 16gb restores but still stuck on apple logo

    hi,
    my iphone 3gs 16gb is stuck on apple logo. this phone shows up on itunes, restores, updates. everything. just doesnt move from the apple logo to the main screen. it also does not show the slider when i try to shut it down. but it goes in recovery by holding the power/home button etc. i have already updated it to 4.3.3 but to no avail. still doesnt go past the logo. any ideas?

    I've been having the same issue since last Monday. I too have finally been able to restore and back-up, yet the screen on the phone stays the same. Have you found any solutions? (I'll let you know if anyone responds to my posted question)

  • My iphone 4g stucks on apple logo

    I had upgraded my IPhone 4 software version 4.3 to 5.0 two days back but today evening when I restarted my phone, it stuck on Apple logo screen and did't bootup. When I'm attaching it with my PC it gives a maqssage on Itunes
    " Itunescould not connect to the Iphonebecause it is locked passcode. You must enter your passcode on the Iphone beforeit can be used with itunes"
    But on Iphone screen I'm not able to see any activity except apple logo.
    Kindly suggest.

    Try to reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.
