Ipod shows apple screen and flashes white, computer doesnt recognize

the ipod touch shows the apple screen, then i hold the two buttons, then the low battery shows up, and i hold again and a white screen flashes, then the apple logo shows again, and my computer nor itunes recognizes it

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.

If they are the instructions I think you might have seen, they are for the Apple TV 2.
Unfortunately I think your Apple TV may have failed.
You might try removing ALL the cables for a while and trying again, but I think you may be out of luck.

Help - ipod shows red lines and displays white screen?

This is the 3rd Ipod Touch, 4th Generation, I've had in 2 years. Something has been wrong with each one of them. The one I have now is only 2 months old and unfortunately my Apple Care Warranty has expired, last month. I was not allowed to purchase a new Apple Care warranty for the new Ipod, so basically I am stuck with another "lemon". Here's the problem, this time.
My Ipod shows 2 thin red lines which extend half way across the screen from left to right, upper left corner when holding Ipod vertically. sometimes when turning the Ipod on, the screen is almost all white and I can barely see the time and "slide to unlock". It always happens when I plug into power. Also, the red lines flash bright white at times and then extend across the entire screen. If I take a picture of it, (holding down power and home buttons) it looks normal.
Has anyone else had such a problem? Can anyone suggest a solution? I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?" Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement? I love my Ipod Touch, but this is extemely frustrating!
IPod Touch, 4th Generation, IOS 6.0.1

I have not seen that problem here before. Likely a hardware bproblem but
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?"
Do that but nicely

No. The replacment is a refurbished one that should work like new.

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.

Imac starts with a black screen and flashing white light on console

I have a 24" imac, it is white and it is from the first year they used the intel chip. When I power it up I get a black blank screen and then the white light on the lower right side of the console flashes on and off. I hear the disk drive spin (I put the 10.4 install disk in ) and it does nothing. How do I get the disk out. I even tried holding down the mouse button at start up and that doesn't work.
I tried to remedy this myself by resetting pram. I have taken out memory and put it back in. I have been able to get it running twice before by taking out memory and putting it back in but it only worked for a little while and then I turned it off and went to turn it back on and same problem again. Is this a logic board problem or something else. I think I read if it was the logic board the disk drive wouldn't work but I hear it spinning.
Can anyone help me?

Hi MacGruff69
That has all the classic signs of unseated, improperly seated or bad RAM.
Laying the iMac face down on a soft towel and reseat the module(s) by pressing real hard on each one with both thumbs, then closing the ejector clips and replacing the cover.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1432
Them if the iMac still has the same symptoms, try one module at a time or replace the module(s) with new one(s).

IPod shows apple logo and nothing else

I managed to put it on disk mode, and iTunes actually "saw" it. I even uploaded some tracks, everything is ok supposedly but when I reset it, it shows the apple logo and won't do anything else after that. All you see is the logo.
That was the case even before I upload any of the tracks.
thanks in advance guys

You need to put it back into disk mode, connect it to the computer, and restore it with the ipod updater. The ipods software is not installed correctly. Here is a link addressing your exact issue. The artical also contains links about restoring an ipod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584

Iphone 3gs keeps showing apple screen and then shuts off. won't start. HELP.

I left my iphone 3gs in my car to charge, i came back a hour later and the screen said "connect to itunes" and had 100% battery. I unplugged it from the charger and it immeditaly shut off. I plugged it into itunes and it does not even acknowlege it. all it is doing while plugged in is showing the apple screen as if its going to start up but shortly turns back to black screen. i just got my iphone 3g replaced with this one from apple store 3 weeks ago. I need help ASAP.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:
Backing up, Updating and Restoring

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to your Local Apple Store is the Next Step...

IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

IPod stuck at Apple screen and computer won't restore iPod

My 80gb Classic is stuck on the Apple screen, and doesn't respond at all. It says to restore my iPod using iTunes, however, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, even though I've updated it.
I've tried restarting my iPod, updating iTunes, and repeated attempts at connecting my iPod. None of the support articles really help, and I've tried all I can think of.

Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

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

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I'm doing a restore and deleting it keeps showing apple screen then skull apple screen and it keeps doing it that for 12 hours not. How do i fix it to stop it

i have the 2nd generation ipod touch. i wanna to restore to factory settings but i couldnt do it through itunes. So i went in the settings to rest and delete. it keeps loading the apple screen and the apple turns to a skull and keeps repeating the screen for like 12 hours or more now. how do i fix it?

The skull indicates that the iPod is jailbroken
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
