Flashing Apple Logo after Reset

hi! help!!?!!?!?! i tried the five r's. i swear! after resetting, my apple just flashes the logo on and off. that's it. it doesn't go any farther. i can get it to go to disk mode, but then what would i do from there? i've let it die and recharged a couple of times and that doesn't seem to help either. does anyone have any suggestions?
i have a 1st generation ipod that i got in april. this is the first time i've had a problem that i can't seem to solve by looking at the apple support!
Windows XP

Matt,
That is very helpful, except it also seems that I'm having trouble with Itunes reading my IPod. (This is a new problem!) Windows registers it, but not Itunes. Of interest, my roommate's account on XP has her IPOD and she is not having trouble syncing or anything. How is that possible? We're on the same computer!

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!!!

If not successful try the remaining steps of the following:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try 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.

Ipod classic frozen on Apple logo.

I have a 160g ipod classic which is frozen on the Apple logo after reset. Tried numerous times to reset but to no avail, cant turn it to disc mode or diagnostic mode.
It just sits there mocking me after each attempt to reset.
Any suggestions please.

Have you followed the correct and full procedure for resetting? This page has detail: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/ and it begins as follows:
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Centre (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step (Apple suggest up to three times!)
If that and the rest of those steps fail to correct your iPod, unplug it from power and leave it alone until the battery drains down. If the display is on (stuck on, at the logo), it will take less time to run down that if the display is off. Once the battery has run down (don't watch it, waiting for it to happen*), plug it back into power. It will probably take up to thirty minutes before you see anything happen. Then wait for it to fully charge and then (and only then) see if it responds correctly.
* If you watch your iPod, waiting for it to run out of power, and then plug it into power immediately, that will almost certainly not fix the problem as it will probably turn off the display first but still have enough power to remember what it was doing when it got stuck. It's this remembering that is stopping it from responding, so it must run out of all power before you plug it back in.

Hi,
Had the same issue. Hard reset not working.
What I did was: start your mac/pc and open iTunes, hold down the home button of the iPad (and while holding the button), connect it to the PC with the cable.
Keep pressing until you get a pop-up asking to upgrade or restore.
Hope this helps for you!

- I suspect that he went to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. For 1G or 2G iPod that can take hours and it will likely stall out if not connected to a charging source.
Try the following:
- A reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes.
- Id something is still showing onthe screen, disconnect from computer/charging source and let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, Try the reset and restore.
- If you can turn the iPod off, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovey mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Flashing Apple logo - does not come on and cannot power it down

My husband has original iPhone from Dec '07. For some reason, while using it, his volume went low and he could not raise it. He tried powering it down to reset it but screen went black and then apple logo came on, then went black, then came on, flashing like that for several minutes before going black. He brought it home, i tried holding the sleep/wake button, but same result - flashing apple logos for few minutes, then black. Tried holding home button but also same result. Plugged into computer - it came on but the "Sync in Progress, do not disconnect" did not come on and phone did not register on desktop even though iTunes showed it. Anyways, did a complete restore with most recent software but again, we're still having the same problem. Phone works when plugged into computer, but not in the way it should and once you unplug it from the computer, sleep/wake button does nothing and cannot power it down. After restoring it, i again tried to power down holding sleep/wake button, but got flashing apple logos again. Any suggestions? Do we need to just take this in and have it looked at?

Have you tried booting it to recovery? If you haven't, try these steps:
1) Close iTunes and unplug and power down your iPhone
2) Press and hold the home button
3) Keeping the home button held down, plug your iPhone into your computer
5) Keep the button held down until a recovery screen with a pic of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon shows.
6) Open iTunes and perform a restore
If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to go to an Apple store and get it exchanged, as the above post said.

Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)

Frozen Ipod/ Ipod keeps rebooting at black apple logo screen (on loop)
-I've already replaced my old 60 GB Ipod in exchange for an 80GB, I bring it home, sync it up with Itunes v7.02 and everything works fine for a while. Not even 24 hours later I go down into my artist/song directory to play a song, and it freezes again. I do the menu center key soft reboot a few times to bypass it and it works for awhile. I've tried looking for current updates for software on it, Restoring it, Resyncing and now It gets to the point everytime I unplug the ipod from charging I get back to the menu and try to play a song or video and it does nothing, it freezes everytime.
There has to be an explanation as to why my first one did it and why my new 80GB is doing it.
I've already ran a diagnosis on all the files in the ipod all of them come back clean.
Help me out.
If you know how to resolve this issue reply and/or email me

My ipod is having a similar problem. The black apple logo has been the only thing I see on my ipod. I went a step farther and held the select and play/pause button to get it into disk mode. Once I am here I cannot proceed. I do not have computer that I hook it up to and have transferred the desired songs from an ex-girlfriends computer which I do not have access. What can I do once I have it in disk mode if I do not have a computer available?
