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?
THanks!

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....

  • 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 think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

  • IPhone 3GS won't turn on past the Apple logo and there's a swirling circle too...

    Hi! For a while now, my iPhone has been a pain in my butt. I dropped it whilst out for a meal in April and it cracked the screen and did damage to the bettery which means that the iPhone turns off randomly when not connected to a power source (An Apple Genius has told me this).
    But when out today, my iPhone shut off and it wouldn't turn on past the Apple logo. After about 30 seconds, a little circle like thing pops up on the bottom of the logo and starts to 'swirl' and it does nothing when connected to a power source.
    I've hard reset it, connected it to iTunes and nothing seems to work. I tried restoring it in July and that didn't do anything to the phone at all.
    Any help at all will be hugely appriciated and if anyone else has had the same problem as what I have, how do I fix it?
    Thank you!

    Wow sure sounds like your iPhone is in really bad shape.
    But the next step is a DFU Mode Restore. If this does not work your iPhone is telling you it needs major most likely expensive repairs, or outright replacement.
    DFU Mode Restore, with iTunes open connect iPhone to your computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button continue holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds longer. If the screen is blank, black this is DFU Mode. Restore the iPhone Firmware. DFU Mode again is iPhone in Recovery Mode per iTunes but has a blank, black screen. If not successful keep trying to get DFU Mode, it can be a bit difficult even for experienced users to get, keep trying.

  • Flashing apple logo and white screen on I Phone 3GS

    Hi, while updating all apps via the itunes store, my phone has crashed.  The phone was unconnected and updating on 3G, which I have never had any problems doing before.  It is constantly flashing the apple logo followed by a white screen then back to black screen again.  The white screen sometimes has a black vertical line down the middle.  It's very aesthetically pleasing.  Can't turn it off, can't reset it.  Not visible in itunes or my computer, help! 
    I've tried connecting it to 2 different PC's, it does not appear on either.  I don't get the red slider if I try to power it off.  If I hold both buttons for 10 seconds to reset, it just restarts flashing the same again.

    sounds like you're having a hardware failure.  You should bring it in to Apple for evaluation

  • 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.

  • IPod Touch stuck in a cycle between Apple logo and loading sign, recovery mode not working.

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch (I think it's 4th gen) and it is stuck in a vicious cycle. It started by just randomly crashing while I was using it (many of the apps were not functioning properly beforehand). It went to the Apple logo for a little while, and then went to a loading sign for a few minutes. Suddenly, the screen flashed white, and appeared to be turned off. Then it turned back on to the black logo, and the cycle began again. i have attempted many times to put it in Recovery mode, but when I hold the Home and Sleep/wake buttons, it "turns off" but only for a few precious seconds before beginning the cycle again.
    Another thing, I never downloaded iOS 6 because I didn't want to lose the old YouTube app. That may be a hindrance.
    At first I wondered if it could be a virus, but now I don't think so.
    I am very sentimental about this iPod, and I have a lot of pictures and high scores on it that I would prefer not to lose, if possible, however, I'd rather lose that than the whole iPod. I will gladly go to the Genius Bar, but I wanted to see if anyone on here could help me out first.
    Any ideas on how to get it working normally again?

    I helped someone earlier who had the same problem. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374810?

    help.  ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen?  how do i fix this ?

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
