IPod sticks on Apple logo screen, then turns off

Hey everyone.
This just began happening about 30 minutes ago. After un-plugging my iPod (I think i did everyhting right, I followed all of the procedures), my iPod showed the black screen with the Apple logo on it. Ever since then, the iPod has been making a clicking noise and the black screen with the Apple logo on it will light up for about 10 seconds, the light will go off, the ipod will turn off for a second or so, and then repeat this process.
Thanks alot.
P.S.- I have already tried the 5 R's. I have tried hooking up my iPod the the cable that charges it and my computer wont even notice that the iPod is attached. I have also let the battery run out, and then recharging my Ipod and trying again, the same thing happens.

After trying every other opetion, with no success, I went to Best Buy and got a new one (thank god for warranties.)
They informed me that it was a dead hard drive. If this problem is still happening for anyone, the best thing to do is to take it to the store you bought it from and, as long as you have a warranty, they will issue you a new iPod.

HT201412 my ipod touch does not turn on after steps 1-4. It only shows the apple logo and then turns off

my ipod touch does not turn on after steps 1-4. It only shows the apple logo and turns off

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.

After a power outage, iPod now displays Apple Logo and wont turn off

I had my iPod connected to my PC (not on iTunes or Syncing), and when the power went out I unplugged my iPod from the PC and it now displays the apple logo without backlight, then with backlight. I tried resetting, but it only repeats the pattern.

I'm sorry to hear about your ipod. you could try restoring it.

I hope you still have all your music on the computer. restoring the ipod deletes every thing off the ipod.

Without a computer, the reset is all you can do.
You might want to post in the iTunes forum for your problem of not being able to reinstall iTunes on your computer..

My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this. I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether. I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed. For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

Problem: Ipod is flashing apple logo screen and beeping at me help

Hi hows it going? My 80 gig Ipod is flashing the apple logo screen and refuses to reset, and is not read by a computer. If you have any ideas that would be lovely. If it helps I got it to tell me to plug it into power once. I have since plugged it in but it still does not work.

See if these help.
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

80 GB Ipod frozen at Apple Logo Screen

All I can do with my Ipod is look at the Apple Logo Screen with the backlight lit up. Actually I can manually reset it by holding down Middle button and Menu button. But it turns right back on by itself and get stuck again. Just cant seem to do anything.

see if it helps

5G iPod stuck at apple logo screen - will not finish booting, just restarts

I just got off the phone with Apple.
Has anyone had this occur.
I had to reset my iPod a few hours ago, it never made it past the brighter apple logo. It looks like it's about to turn back on and then decides "let's try that again" and clicks back to the fainter logo screen. It's been looping like that for over two hours now. I need to let it drain now, but the apple tech didn't sound too hopeful.
just wondering if anyone else has had an iPod die this way...

Macbook Pro won't boot past grey screen with Apple logo and then shuts off

This is a long story...
This morning, I would turn it on and it'd go to the grey screen with the Apple logo for a few seconds and then go to the icon that is a circle with a line through it. After reading online, I was able to boot it up in Safe Mode. I messed around a little bit in system preferences thinking I could fix it on my own, not really knowing what I was doing (I'm a *******). I went to Startup Disk in Preferences. I chose the MAC OS X, xxxx and then clicked the lock to prevent further changes and then clicked restart.
Now when I turn on the macbook, it goes to the grey screen with the Apple logo for at least two-three minutes and then just shuts off. Won't boot into Safe Mode now. Please help. I already tried the Command-Option-P-R keys trick like five times.

If you have a full retail DVD for 10.6 you can boot from that by holding the C key during startup...but you will then be in install mode if that is what you want to do. At least go ahead and see if it will boot ok from the 10.6 disk and then you can decide what you want to do further.
Apple does not have 10.5 for sale anymore from what some other users have said on here so if you want to go that route you will have to find a copy for sale such as from eBay or one of the Mac resellers.
Before taking the machine to someone, try booting from 10.6 and see if that works...that way you can narrow down problems the machine may be having.

Ipod stuck on apple logo screen

just tonight when I went to eject my ipod from the computer I noticed that it just shows the grey screen with the apple logo then it flashes a black screen for a second and back to the apple logo it keeps doing that and I can't seem to restart it. I have no idea what to do. I don't even know what happened it was working totally fine earlier today. Also I tried plugging it back in to the computer and it's not even recognizing that it is there. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have alot of stuff on there I'd really rather not lose

I had same thing happened. I sent it into apple who said there was broken glass in the headphone. I thought that was weird. I received the ipod back and they said my warranty was broken. I looked in the head phone jack, there was no glass. I never had any problem with the head phone. It hasn't had a fall or anything. Now I feel like I frozen out of any help. I don't know if they were looking at the wrong ipod or what. I have no idea what to do now. It is so frustrating because I think there might be a software solution. I can install music and uninstall music at itunes. I guess if nothing else it is a still a really crappy flash drive that will only store music and videos. But I am really frustrated. Please let me know if you find anything out.

4S screen & apple logo flashing, cannot turn off phone to restart

4S apple logo and entire screen flashing
cannot turn phone off holding home and lock button
sometimes a horizontal line appears across the screen as well
(this happened as i tried to open an email link to linkedin)

plug the phone into laptop or pc with iTunes open, Hold home and top power button, until the logo vanishes, then let go of the power button keeping hold of the home button at the bottom, it will then ask to connect to iTunes, as u have it open an attached to the computer u can click the pop up an restore the phone!!

IPod stuck on apple logo - doesn't turn on

I've got a third generation iPod (with four buttons across the top) which I've had for about three years now. Over the past 6 months it's been crashing and freezing. resetting it would normally resolve the issue, but I would have to keep resetting sometimes up to about 20 times.
Now it just stays on the apple logo and I can hear the disk whirring away inside. It won't boot up at all. I can get it into disk mode and mount onto computer, which it sees in iTunes. I can restore it and update it in disk mode, but it won't turn on as normal and the computer doesn't see it. In system profiler it sees an unknown device connected through firewire, but still doesn't mount the iPod or open in iTunes.
Is there anything else to do, or is my iPod finally dead and face the decision of spending a lot of money on repairing it or spending a lot of money on buying a new one. Any help would be appreciated!!
