New iPod touch. Been working fine, needed charging so have charged it for ages. Only apple icon screen is appearing and nothing else! Have tried re setting still nothing! Help!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPOD IS FROZEN SCREEN SHOWS APPLE ICON ONLY

IPOD is frozen screen shows apple icon only

hold down home button and powerbutton until apple logo appears. this will reset it. If not, turn off the iPod, hold the home button and plug into computer via USB while still holding the home button, only release it once iTunes detects it.

3rd Generation iPod continually shows apple icon

3rd Generation iPod continually shows apple icon, it does not mount and cannot be seen via disk utility - despite being reset, recharged (on dock but doesn't show charge icon just the apple), cables tested/exchanged, battery swapped out with another. It will not switch off at all. I cannot restore the software as it is not recognised. However I can feel it "working", i can feel it reset each time and it gets quite warm. Any suggestions?

I have discovered the answer myself. Put it into disk mode etc. Sorry to waste anyone's time.

HT201412 ipad will not do anything but show apple icon ?

ipad will not do anything but show apple icon help please ?

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 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.

Iphone 4 keeps scanning then showing apple icon it wont stop. cant get any other screen

can anyone help me im having trouble with iphone 4 it wont stop scanning then showing apple icon. i cant get the phone to do anything else.

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

IPod not recognized, Disk Mode doesn't help, iPod shows apple screen

LONG VERSION (SCROLL DOWN TO SKIP):
I added two movies (Garden State, Little Miss Sunshine) onto my iPod. I didn't add them to play, I only copy + pasted into iPod, since I was using the iPod as an external hard drive.
I go to my friend's house to add the movies to his computer, my friend says that my iPod got screwy when he plugged it in. It restarted and only showed the Apple logo. I unplugged my iPod, reset it, and it still wouldn't work. I plugged it in, and his screen says: USB Device malfunctioned, not recognized, etc. I plug it into several of his other computer's, all don't work.
I take it home, my computer shows the same message: USB Device not recognized because of malfunction.
This entire time, my iPod only shows the Apple logo screen, or the Please Wait, Very Low Battery screen.
I put it into disk mode and my computer still wouldn't recognize it.
SHORT VERSION:
My iPod only shows Apple logo unless I put it into disk mode, and my computer won't recognize iPod either way.
I see the message: USB Device not recognized because of malfunction.
HP Windows XP AMD Athlon X2 4200+, 1GB RAM, 250 GB HD

So charge it all night long then reset?
I've only been charging it for about 30 minutes at a time.
My iPod finally works now; I can scroll through screens, etc., and when I plug it into my computer, the familiar "CHARGING" screen appears.
But it still won't recognize, so I'm gonna do what you said.

Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

Ipod stuck on apple icon, computer wont recognize, restarts don't work.

My ipod mini is stuck on the apple icon. Whenever I do the manual reset, the apple dissapears and comes back. My computer won't recognize it, and when I tried to have my ipod sent in to apple to be repaired, it said my serial number is not valid. Help me please.

1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

My ipod touch is connected to my USB port, it sais it's charging although... it doesn't show on itunes that i have plugged my device in, once i turn my ipod on the apple icon appears but then loses battery streight away and starts off all over again.

although it is doing what i asked it to do, i want it to charge, ok so it does it... although when i turn it on it's as if it's either not charged at all but only enough to have the apple icon on my ipod, once it's had enough (which is like, a minute) it switches itself off and carries on charging, sometimes it switches itself on but this just takes it back to step one. also, when i connect my device to the USB port itunes does not recognise it for some reason, i've updated the newest version of itunes recently and i've tried annother ipod on annother computer with the same USB cable, so it's either the newest version of itunes, my ipod or my computer. please help
P.S,
i do have the required version of windows for this to work, my computer isn't a mac, it's a pc, hope this helps...

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

Ipod touch Apple icon!

I own a 3rd generation Ipod touch (model number: C23DVJ63DCP7). whenever I try to use it, it only goes to the apple icon screen and doesn't allow me to do anything else but restart it manually. I have tried to reset it from my PC, but it will not recognize that the Ipod touch is connected to the usb port. I should also mention that the first time this happend was when I had to abrutly stop a software update! Please help!

This happened to me the other day. I'm in the process of reinstalling everything.
This helped me (mainly : hold down the Home button and then plug in the USB cable).

Another interesting read which may explain why this happens:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94707
The upshot: if you have a lot of apps (or just a couple of big ones), it could be the cause of your problem. I'm not going to install every one of my apps (goodbye 300MB Random House Dictionary). Also, don't "restore" your iPod from the backup - treat it like a new iPod and reinstall everything (but uncheck some of your apps). I did the restore first, and the problem returned.
