Ipod nano flashes between apple logo and battery charge icon

When i connect my ipod to my computer, the screen flashes between the apple startup logo and a battery is very low message. When the ipod is not plugged on, it does nothing because it has no power. Neither iTunes nor my computer are reading that the ipod is connected. Does anybody know what is going on and how to fix it?
My ipod is a first generation nano.

There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member.

  • IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

    After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

    in the end ... i did it too.
    for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
    this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
    - absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
    - leave the battery run flat
    - open itunes
    - connect usb
    - when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
    - if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
    - after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
    - upload ios5b7
    anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
    and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

  • Ipod won't turn on, flashes between apple logo and white screen

    Our ipod touch won't turn on, it has been charged,  but doesn't register anything on the screen.  All that happens is it flashes between the apple logo and a white screen.  My son says it's not been dropped/wet etc.  Any suggestions?

    Tried it, it still shows the apple logo.  While holding home and power it flashed to a back screen then the apple logo popped back up....

    - 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:

    Hi Julesvamc,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When an iPod only shows an Apple logo, this usually means that the device needs to be restored.
    You can find more information about this symptom, as well as step by step instructions for restoring an iPod at this page:
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up - Apple Support
    You may need to restore or update your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod nano by placing it in Disk Mode if only an Apple logo appears when you turn it on.
    All the best,

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Ipod nano 6th generation apple logo flashing

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation that when connected to the computer USB it flashes the apple logo.  When not connected, it does not turn on at all.  I have tried all the reset tricks with no impact.  Also, my iTunes does not even recognise it as being connected to the computer.  Any ideas I haven't explored yet?

    Hi magostin,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In situations where your iPod nano is not recognized in iTunes, I would suggest the troubleshooting steps in the attached article. Please use the troubleshooting for Windows or Mac in the article depending on what type of computer you are connecting to.

  • IPad cycling between Apple logo and Grinding icon endlessly

    I was tooling along using my iPad when a notice for updating to IOS 8.02 came up. Then without touching any buttons my iPad started rebooting.  I am cycling between the Apple logo and the working or grinding icon grinding then freezing.  I cannot turn the iPad off and the battery is almost totally depleted.  I tried to charge the battery overnight, but it is not charging.  Any solutions?  I went to iTunes to back up.  When the Apple logo is showing iTunes says it cannot back up because the iPad is locked.  it only recognizes the iPad when the Apple logo is showing

    If you can't get in any other way, you can try restoring using recovery mode first. If that won't work, maybe you can erase it and start over using find my iPhone.
