    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

    I need help my ipod touch 5g running ios 7.0.4 wont turn on all it has been doing is flashing the apple logo on a black background i cant stop this does anybody know what to do?

    Try:                           
    - 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 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.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Have an iPod touch 4th gen.  It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing.  I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings.  Any suggestions?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • My Ipod keeps restarting and showing the Apple Logo over and over....

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!! My Ipod keeps restarting, or turning off, I'm not sure which, but when it does that then it shows the Apple Logo, it will go to the main screen for maybe 1 second, but then it does this cycle over again. It has been doing this for a while now. It is also unresponsive, I and tried the R things but they didn't work either. I have tried plugging it up and it hasnt helped, I have no idea what to do. Oh and I havn't dropped it or anything, I have taken very good care of it. The only thing I can think of that ould be wrong with it is that my Dad had it plugged into his car radio, he says it started doing this action while it was plugged up to that, but I have no proof of that. He also plugged it into his computer, which has none of the Itunes software on it, to try to download my songs onto his computer, he says all the songs copied to his computer just fine. I plugged the Ipod into my Ihome and it froze up, when it unfroze I saw that I had all of my songs, but then it started to Turn off and show the Apple Logo. If you have any suggestions please contact me!!!!

    Genug geweint -
    nach 3 Wochen funktioniert es wieder-I fixed it, after 3 weeks
    leider kann ich nicht sagen, an was es liegt/
    sorry, but I am not able to tell you what the problem was
    Da es jetzt geht, ohne dass ich an Vista etwas geändert hätte, vermute ich, dass eines der Apple Programme des Fehler verursacht.
    I did not change anything with Vista but it works now. Though I think the failure occured because of one of the Apple products.
    Schritt für Schritt / step by step
    1. iPod auswerfen / diconnect your iPod
    2. holen Sie sich alle wichtigen Windowsupdates/
    update your windows
    3. holen Sie sich iTunes noch einmal aber installieren Sie es nicht/
    download iTunes again, but don't install it.
    4. deinstalliere alle Appleprogramme
    (ich nutze nur die 6 Apple Programme, die zwangsweise mit iTunes installiert werden, ob es Sinn macht auch Safari zu löschen kann ich nicht sagen,weil ich es nicht nutze,aber vielleicht sollte man alles rausschmeißen)
    deinstall all Apple-software
    (I use only the software wich comes together with iTunes. I don't use safari. You might deinstall it as well, if you use it on a PC)
    5. Verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem PC
    Ohne iTunes hörte der "Kampf" zwischen Windows und iTunes auf (logo!).
    Solange der iPod davor verbunden war gab es Fehlermeldungen sowohl von iTunes als auch von Windows und der iPod flog bei beiden Systemen raus. Jetzt ließ Windows den iPod in der Liste der angeschlossenen Geräte. Ich habe ihn neu formatiert und dann ausgeworfen.
    Connect your iPod.
    Without iTunes the struggle between windows and iTunes was over.
    As long as iTunes was installed and a iPod was connected I got a notice of a failure from iTunes and windows. both of them disconnected the iPod. Now windows kept the iPod an I was able to format it, then I disconnected it.
    6. Da ich keine Zeit mehr hatte habe ich den Computer heruntergefahren und erst mehrere Stunden später wieder angemacht. (ob das spätere Hochfahren von Bedeutung ist werde ich wohl nie erfahren, ich erwähne es nur, um möglichst keinen Schritt auszulassen)
    I drove down the computer and turned it on again after a few hours. (Is it necessary to wait a few hours? I don't know. I mention it only)
    7. Installieren Sie iTunes / install iTunes
    8. starten Sie iTunes / start iTunes
    9. verbinden Sie den iPod mit dem Computer / connect your iPod with your PC
    Bei mir haben die Fehlermeldungen aufgehört und ich konnte das "kaputte" Gerät wieder mit Musik, Filmen und Hörbüchern füttern.
    Ich hoffe es klappt auch bei Ihnen.
    In my case there were no further messages of a failure. I got music, movies and audiobooks on my daughters iPod.
    Interessieren würde mich schon, warum ein System plötzlich spinnt, obwohl ich "außer" updates nichts verändert hatte.
    Why happened it???

  • I dropped my phone in water and put in rice for 3 days and plugged it into my computer but it keeps flashing the Apple logo and a no charge sign. It also is not connecting to my computer and it does not say "Amelia's iPhone" in iTunes

    And then put in rice for 3 days and plugged it into my computer but it keeps flashing the Apple logo and a no charge sign. It also is not connecting to my computer and it does not say "Amelia's iPhone" in iTunes

  • My iPhone 5 overheated yesterday and now it won't turn on. When I plug it to charge it only flashes the Apple logo. I've restored my device on iTunes but it's still not turning on. Help!

    So I charged my phone yesterday but it didn't seem to get charged because the battery percentage went lower instead of higher after I plugged out my phone. Then the battery percentage subsequently got lower even faster, jumping from 28% to 15% within ~a minute. It was very hot too, so maybe overheating was the problem. Then I tried charging my phone again after leaving it to cool but it won't charge and keeps flashing the Apple logo.
    I've tried to no use:
    1. pressing the Power button and Home button together for a long time
    2. restoring my device (on iTunes it says that my phone's updated, but it still won't turn on)
    Should I just send my phone to Apple for them to fix it or for a replacement?

    I'm sorry, it seems that the problem is that my phone WON'T restore. I just tried restoring again and it keeps giving me the 2001 error. Help.

  • HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

    found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

    You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

    What is a hard reset?  There is nothing in any of Apple's documentation that refers to a hard reset.
    There's a reset, a restart, and a restore.
    Please explain EXACTLY what you did.
