IPhone stuck - won't move beyond the Apple logo

I just downloaded the latest iPhone update and while it was syncing with my phone, it froze, then I got a message from iTunes saying it couldn't connect to my iPhone. I disconnected and reconnected, and it has said it's synced, but my iPhone won't start now. It turns on, but never moves beyond the Apple logo. Underneath the apple, there's a white bar, as if something is trying to update or download, but nothing ever happens. It just stays stuck there. To restart it, I have to press both the power and home button. I've tried restarting about 5 times, and it does the same each time. I've tried syncing with iTunes again, and still nothing happens.
Has this happened to anybody else before? If so, how did you resolve it?

FIXED! OK guys, this is what I did.
I just took it to the Apple store and they fixed it for me.
I know you were all waiting for a solution that you could do yourself but there wasn't one that I could figure out.
My problem once again:
iTouch 1st Gen with first OS.
Upgraded OS to 3.1.2
Then got hung up on white apple logo with white bar beneath it.
When I took it to the Apple store, they said that the downloaded OS might have been corrupt or not downloaded properly/completely.
So they re-installed the OS for me. Then I was able to go home and sync it with my iTunes without losing anything!
They got some computers and software at the Apple store that I don't think you can get anywhere. Diagnostics stuff. That's why it's better to just let them fix it. They didn't charge me anything for it either.
Hope this helps!

Macbook 2008. Did an erase and install from install disk that came with the mac but now it won't move pas the Apple logo with spinner.

My Macbook was running slow and kept giving me error codes so I figured the easiest thing to do would be to erase it and do a fresh install. But now, after installing with the disk 1, it won't move past the grey Apple logo screen.
I've done disk repair and verified and there seems to be no problems.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Iphone 5 won't get past the apple logo

Hi,
My phone died last night and i put it on charge, the apple logo appeared but nothing more. I tried to reboot the phone numerous times by clicking the home and power button together, ive tried leaving it over night on charge, and ive also tried to plug it into my mac and restore it. This morning i tried the same methods of which none worked however at one point it clicked into the welcome page to swipe across and then entre my wifi details, i added those and continued to click the back up from itunes option, it backed up and restored and completed, however the apple logo appeared again and didnt boot into my home screen so im left with the apple logo still on my screen and no further.
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Thanks

My MacBook Pro won't load beyond the apple logo

Hi there,
So I was on my MacBook as always, doing college work and chatting on FaceBook; nothing out of the ordinary. Then completely out of the blue, my MacBook froze, so I turned it off, turned it back on and I've been left looking at the apple logo for over half an hour now... What's going on?!
Note: The last time this happened I had to send it away, but that was because it fell and the hard disk had dislodged, but this happened completely out of nowhere.
Thanks

Well, it would depend if your HDD has died. If you don't have a backup that would be unfortunate.
First, go grab your original install disk, stick it in, and restart & hold the C key.
That will bring up the install screen.
Select your Language.
Then go up the top to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
Please take note of any errors it repairs / does not repair.

My IPhone 4 won't go past the Apple Logo!

I tried to press the Home Button and the Sleep/Power button at the same time and it didn't do anything. I plugged it in my computer and opened up ITunes and nothing happened! HELP PLEASE! Is it a 5OS problem? I thought after a week It would be okay but nothing has happened! It just turned off randomly and I don't know what to do now.

Sounds like the iPhone is damaged beyond repair.

PUT THE CORRECT PASSWORD, OR ELSE YOU CAN UPDATE THROUGH ITUNES. GO TO APP SECTION ON YOUR ITUNES, CHECK FOR UPDATES, CLICK THE UPDATES OPTION, IT WILL GET DOWNLOADED, AND THEN SYNC.

Hey there Maggie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.

How can I get beyond the Apple logo on the screen of my iPod Touch 6g?

Suddenly I'm unable to get beyond the Apple logo on my iPod Touch 6g (with latest OS). I noticed that battery life was drastically reduced (been using a portable external power supply), and I turned Airplane Mode "On" to conserve battery power. I'm not sure if this has contributed to my present "freeze."
Any suggestions appreciated before I send it out for professional repair.

Airplane mode should not have anything to do with your problem
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.

TS1702 Ipod Touch, V2. Hangs on start-up, from the reboot, does not go beyond the apple logo. Not recognized in ITunes. I'd know I need to restore, but how do I get it recognized in ITunes?

My IPod Touch hangs on startup, doesn't go beyond the apple logo. Tried the reboot, doesn't help.
I'm thinking I need to restore the system, but it isn't recognized in ITunes either.
How do I force it to be recognized?

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow the restore.
- Next try DFU mode

Macbook pro won't go past the apple logo (Lion)

I've installed Java Runtime, and after that tried to use "software update" but the application quit.
Tried to restart, but it stays stuck on the apple logo (with the wheel turning) for ages. Restarted in recovery mode, ran disk utility, repaired permissions and verified disk. no problems found. Restarted again, still the same thing - won't go past the apple logo.
If reinstall is the only way to go, is there a way to access this hard drive to back up files (it is a recent computer, still hadn't made any backups...)
Thank you all, help would be much appreciated!

Shut down and startup holding command-r keys into Recovery Disk from there choose Disk Utility and Repair Disk.

Ooops you've been there, done that. You can use Target Disk Mode if you have another Mac.
EDIT: Was the Java Runtime from Software Update?

Macbook flickering screen & freeze, then won't boot pass the apple logo

Hi Guys,
My macbook is driving me insane now. Just recently, my macbook has occasionally flickering screen and freezes after that. Yesterday, when I was watching youtube on fullscreen, it first has flickering screen, then freezes. So I hard booted it pressing the power button. Then, when I try to restart it, it won't boot pass the apple logo no matter what.
Here's my macbook spec
2007 Summer Macbook Pro 15"
Snow Leopard 10.6 OS X
I cracked my screen once, and got a replacement, don't know if that matters.
I've tried the following:
Safe mood reboot, the progress bar goes about half, then disappears and stalls again.
Booted in verbose mode but it gives a warning message:
'com.apple.driver. internalmodemsupport declares no kernel dependencies; using com.apple.kernal.6.0'.
Booted in Single user mood, and typed fsck for disk repair. After checking said the volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok. But still won't boot pass the apple logo after restart.
Boot with installation disk pressing C at startup. Success after a few try:
Opened Disk Utility and did disk repair (no problem found).
Reinstalled Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.
This time it booted with Finder and everything for a short while, then the screen flicker and freezes again (before I can backup anything!). Then, I can't reboot pass the apple logo again.
When I try to reinstall Leopard OS X 10.5 with installation disk, the macbook seems to try to read the disk, but won't boot. I've got a CD stuck in the optical drive now.
I've tried everything I can find online short of opening it up and send it into the oven for baking! I pray it's not a hardware problem, coz I'm no good at that. (QAQ~~~) Please help me!
Thank you very, very, very much!!!
ps. this is my first post. please let me know if I have missed anything.

Reboot the machine holding the trackpad or left wired mouse button down, that shoudl force eject the 10.5 disk.

Ok, so your attempting data recovery efforts.
First get the 10.5 disk out of the machine, like above.
You can also boot into Single User mode, (command s at reboot) and enter
/usr/bin/drutil eject
then type
restart
Next hold c boot and use the 10.6 disk and create a data recovery drive here on a blank external drive, make sure you clean and polish the bottom of the 10.6 disk, if it's bad you will need to get a new one.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
If your problems continue on this drive even with a clean or new 10.6 disk, it's likely a hardware issue with your Mac, not a issue with the drive.
I suspect a failing sector on your internal boot drive, you installed OS X right over the same spot perhaps, as you were obviously able to boot from the 10.6 disk to install it so it seems the hardware of the Mac appears to be working.
You might have other issues relateing to software perhaps, something your installing or running.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Once you have gotten your files off the internal drive, you may want to look into doing a Zero Erase with Disk Utility before resintalling 10.6 again fresh install method.

Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.
