IPod 3rd generation stuck on apple logo

Hello, recently I plugged my iPod 3rd generation (Touch wheel, 4 control buttons above it, no color display) into my computer with a 4th generation iPod touch cable. After that the iPod will not boot. It simply shows the apple logo, emits some sounds and freezes at boot logo. iTunes doesn't see it if I plug it in (Maybe because its a REALLY old USB...)
Please help!
Thanks.

IPod 3rd generation stuck on grey screen.

Hi, the other day I was listening to music when my iPod 3rd Generation flew out of my pocket (sweatpants) and dropped to the floor. It was fine after that but when i left it alone for about half an hour the blacklight turned off and my screen is now grey. It played music but i followed some tips and restored it so now no music is on it. It works fine if i put music back on it the only problem is the screen is grey. I have tried the "Toggle hold button then press Menu/And Center at the same time" and it doesn't change the grey screen. Help ?

If a full restore of the Nano did not resolve the display issue, it's most likely hardware related meaning you'll need to either take or send your iPod in for service.
Apple will do an out of warranty exchange for your iPod for the amount listed on this page.

Third party service centers are a bit cheaper, but not always reliable, so choose at your own risk.

FYI Ipod Touch and Stuck on Apple Logo

I have found an issue where removing an application from the Ipod Touch which uses the Apple Ipod Settings GUI (The Icon with the picture of the gears) could cause your ipod to stick at the Apple Logo and force you to do a restore.
I had an application which I removed and noticed that I could no longer get fully into the Apple Settings GUI. It would freeze (it would never completely draw all the entries for the settings interface) for about 30 seconds and then take me back to the main interface. I thought I should restart the Ipod Touch and maybe that would clear up the issue. WRONG! I had to do a full restore in order to get back where I was. That took 6 hours.
Once I was back this time I tried to remove that application again and noticed the same issue. I opened the App Store on the Ipod Touch and searched for the application. I re-downloaded it and it installed. I was able to get back into settings and also restart with no issues.
In short, if you remove an application that has hooks into the Apple Settings interface. Always go into the settings after to verify you can still access it. If not reinstall the application and verify it works. Then report it to the developer.
I did contact the developer of the software and he said he would submit a bug report to Apple on this. I do not need to specify the dev at this time. I will just say be careful before you restart.

Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stuck on Apple Logo loading up screen.

I have looked at many posts and nobody has found a solution which suits me.
My IPod gets stuck on the Apple Logo Loading screen when I turn the IPod on. Many say to reset the IPod, and so I do, and before long it dies, meaning it is unable to complete the reset.
When I plug it into the computer it dies not long after it stays on the logo screen, but when it is plugged into the wall it will just stay on the apple logo screen for ages. So could it be the IPod itself that isn't working?
ITunes cannot detect the IPod because the PC cannot detect it, and the reason the PC cannot detect it, is that the IPod has to be loaded and ready.
So I am running out of ideas, the nearest Apple Store is miles away.
I had it as a Christmas present this year, so its not that old.
The Apple Mobile Device service is fully working.
Any advice would be grateful, thanks!

You might see if any help is found here:

If not then I would take it in for repair.

IPod Nano (4th generation) stuck on Apple logo! URGENT HELP!

and it never came back from the Apple logo
I have tried every thing! the five steps from Apple (reset, restart, restore, etc.), disk mode, restore..
**BUT I GET NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE APPLE LOGO SCREEN!!**
i have tried the tutorial on this page.. http://www.sharp-tools.net/archives/000240.html .. because the guy had my same problem but he resolved it with those steps...
But in the diagnostics mode, he says to test ram & then hit play and blah blah... and then press +fast forward+ to go to DISKMODE entre... in the diagnostics mode i cannot find anything labeled with RAM or DISKMODE.
i already know how to go to the diskmode MANUALLY (reset ipod > center button+play button) and it didnt help either.

Nano 3rd gen stuck on apple logo screen

How do i restore and ipod 4gb nano 3rd generation if it wont connect to itunes or computer at all... apple logo constanly flashing in and out... and wont hold a charge... ANY SUGGESTIONS????????????????????????????????

I am afraid yo need to visit the store and possibly ask for a replacement. In some cases, doing the reset will correct any issues, but by the way you describe it, it freezes with apple logo. Better to get a replacement.

Ipod touch 5thgen stuck on Apple logo after updating to IOS 6.1

I updated my ipod touch to the latest version 6.1 and after updating it restarted and was frozen at the apple logo screen since Monday. I tried calling Apple Support and they went through the steps of getting into recovery mode as well as trying to reboot my ipod touch but I first had to update & restore first through iTunes. I wasn't able to update because my connection kept timing out so I decided to download the ipsw file from this website: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
After waiting a whole day for the download(because my internet connection is really slow), iTunes said that the ipod could not be restored because firmware was not compatible. I tried both version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 and both came with that error notice. I don't know what to do now and I really need some help! I've tried holding the home+lock key many times and went through the whole procedure but nothign seems to work. It already says that my ipod updated to 6.1 but its just stuck at the apple logo. Help me Please!!!

IPod Touch 4G Stuck On Apple Logo Screen

So I just recently jail broke my iPod touch 4G and was using iFile to delete some default apps and stuff that was taking up space on my device. I only need to use the Music app, so all of the other default apps can be erased. I must have accidentally deleted something in regards to the music app because I am not able to transfer music onto the device using iTunes. I turned my iPod off then and turned it back on and this is where the major problem came in. It's stuck on the Apple Logo screen and will not boot back up or anything. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and doing every kind of reset or restore and none of that has worked. Now it doesn't even show up in iTunes. Unfortunately I don't remember every thing I deleted when using iFile, so I cannot provide much information regarding that. My iPod has worked perfectly fine until I jail broke it, which I probably shouldn't have even done but none the less if someone has any possible genius solution to my problem, I would appreciate you leaving a comment. Thanks.
