MAYDAY!  iPod Touch 4 Stuck in "White Apple"!!!!

What happened:  I was just downloading an update to Facebook.  The update seemed to be dragging on, so I powered down the Touch and turned it back on.
It now displays only a white Apple corporate logo against a black screen. Holding down any buttons on it does NOTHING, including the top right-hand power button.  Neither my PC or iTunes recognizes it when I plug it into the PC.  It is frozen this way.
Will I just have to wait until the battery dies, or do I now own a $200 paperweight?
Please respond!

- Try 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.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
- If the screen remains on and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain.. After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • Ipod touch stuck on white screen

    I have an ipod touch the new kind. I went to update my ipod in general then settings because it said i should update it for some reason and now ever since then my ipod randomly stopped working. When i hold the top button and the centre button it shows the apple but once the apple goes away it shows the screen go kind of fuzzy, changing colours then goes to white. When i don't hold the top button or the centre button my ipod just stays on the white screen. It also won't connect to my computer. It says it's charging but it won't show up on itunes or anything at all. I would LOVE some advice or help on this. Please!

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • IPod Touch stuck with the Apple Logo

    Ok, So i just got a new iPod Touch 16G. As soon as I connected it to iTunes, it started syncing then it just froze up and said data could not be synced because the iPod is not connected. I ejected the iPod & restarted it, but it just shows the Apple logo. It wont do anything else. I updated the software, charged it, and tried connecting it again but it shows the same message after syncing about 100 songs.
    I've never even used it. Any idea what may be wrong with it?
    EDIT: It finished syncing all of my music. But after it disconects, it doesn't do anything. Just the Apple Logo.

    What happens when you try to connect it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode?  See this article for steps on how to put your iPod Touch into recovery mode.  Don't be afraid to try this more than once.

  • Ipod Touch Stuck on the Apple reboot screen, please help!

    Ok, So I was using my ipod touch. Actually I was downloading something as well as deleting some pictures of my ipod.
    Eventually it froze up so I had to put it on reboot mode. So after about half an hour I started to notice that it had lasted way longer than usual, however I let it continue for another hour until the battery ran out. Even after the battery ran out and I plugged it into my computer it stays on the apple screen and therefore my iTunes refuses to recognize my iPod.
    What can I Do?
    P.S.
    At times it acts like it is ab out to finally fix itself yet it just goes to black and then back to the apple screen.
    I even left it charging all night and it was still in the same screeen. The only time it changes is to show me that it is out of battery

  • IPod Touch stuck on Apple Logo Screen

    Today, I spilled some water on my iPod touch, but I dried it up right away. Now, however, the iPod is stuck on the apple logo. I've tried holding down the lock and home buttons and the screen will go black and then the apple logo appears again, but it won't go any farther than that. I plugged it into my computer to restore it, but my computer won't recognize it.
    Did I kill my iPod, or is there anything I can do? It's less than a year old, so it's still under warranty, but is there any point in bringing it in?

    my ipod touch is doing the same thing. it is so frustrating because it is frozen on the apple screen with two lines and won't respond to the computer and sometimes it will go to a screeen we pink vertical lines with the apple screen in the background. i called apple yesterday and they made me wait a day but nothing happened. any advice?

  • While I was updating my ipod touch to ios 6 the battery got drained during the process, i tried restoring it, it couldnt now my ipod is stuck on the Apple logo screen.

    while I was updating my ipod touch to ios 6 the battery got drained during the process, i tried restoring it, it couldnt now my ipod is stuck on the Apple logo screen.
    Can anyone help me with this issue???

    Connect your iTouch to your PC then open iTunes, if iTunes does not recognize your device, try to hold the SLEEP Button and the HOME button at the same time (iPod Reset) for a couple of seconds until the "Charging Tone sounds, now you should be seeing your device name in the iTunes " Device List". If you do, just click RESTORE and iTunes will automatically restore your iTouch to original set-up and download the iOS6 update.
    Hope this helps..

    my iPod touch stuck in apple logo.I try to recovered ,but after recovery start  error message comes and says try later.what should i do ?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
      - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

    Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.
