My ipad2 is flashing between the apple logo and lock screen.

How do i stop this? I cannot restore it as itunes wont let me untill i put the passcode in (which i cant do) and the hard reset hasnt helped. PLEASE HELP. Its only six months old.

If you cannot restore because you cannot enter the Passcode, recovery mode may work. I hope you have a backup, because you will lose all app data and device settings.

  • Help.  ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen?

    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.

  • My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign in.  It will not let me sign in, nor can I power it off.  Help!

    My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen.  It will not let me sign on or power off.  It started about 20 mins ago.  One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time.  How can I fix this?

    Hi Bucky16,
    If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

  • Ipod nano 4th generation switches between the Apple logo and the menu

    I have a 4th generation 8 g iPod Nano that probably has about 1 hour of use since my wife won it in a raffle over a year ago. When I went to recharge it yesterday, the only thing that happens is that the display, when connected to the computer, flips back and forth between the Apple logo and the menu screen. Whenever either one of them appears, it will disappear in a few seconds, then repeat the sequence. I have done a reset and restore,and installed the latest software version but the same thing happens over and over again. If the iPod is detached from the computer, ie, its power source, NOTHING happens on the display. It black and you can't get it to show anything. My theory was that the battery needed to be replaced even though it wasn't used much in the year since she got it. In fact. the absence of use and recharging it and discharging it may have lead to this problem in the first place. However, my one issue with that theory is that, when connected to a power source, like the computer, I would think I could get it to function normally, which I can't. I was able to get to the "service menu" which won't disappear when I move about different choices, as long as its connected to the computer. Again I can get nothing if its not connected to a power source.. does anyone think that this problem could be solved by replacing the battery or does it seem like that is only part of the problem? Thanks for any help and suggestions you may have to offer.

    Despite the Nano only being used for an hour or so, the battery needed to be replaced= problem solved!!

    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.

  • I am trying to download snow leopard, but with around 46 mins to go, a message appears saying, my coup is going to restart,it does but with just the apple logo,and white screen, nothing else,can anybody help? jib.

    i am trying to download snow leopard, but with around 46 mins to go, a message appears saying, my coup is going to restart,it does but with just the apple logo,and white screen, nothing else,can anybody help? jib.

    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.

  • What to do with the iPhone keep switch between apple logo and locked screen

    Please help me with this , thanks

    Try to Reset your device.  
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

    Hi,
    Have you tried some of these? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
    The first things I would try would be to press shift during start up, this will boot into safe mode.
    I think you'll need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard to re-install the OS.
    There's another couple of suggestions here; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 where you can boot into single user mode and look at repairing disk permissions if that's the problem.
    I would hope that if you could boot into safe mode or single user mode, then that may automatically rectify your current issue. If not, then I'm pretty certain that a fresh install will be the ultimate answer.

  • 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....

  • I plugged my ipod, but it wont charge. it keeps flashing between the apple and the charge screen, what can I do?

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer but it won't charge or my computer won't recognise it. It keeps flashing between the apple sign and charge screen but the battery is not increasing at all, what can I do?

    See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • When opening my MBP, all that shows is the apple logo and the forbidden sign

    Hello everyone,
    So I'm on a 2011 MPB using 10.9.5.
    I've closed it after using two nights ago, and when I came back home the day after and tried opening it, all that appeared was an alternation between the apple logo and the forbidden sign (here it is : http://stickeramoi.com/3447-3369-large/autocollant-panneau-interdit-interdiction .jpg)
    I've tried repairing the disk but that failed.
    Tried also re-installing OS X on it but that took about 17 hours (which is ridiculous) so I've cancelled that and instead, tried restoring a Time Machine save.
    After it finished restoring the latest backup, I'm still faced with the same problem. It just won't boot.
    Thank you for your time and help,

    Yeah well I think I've tried about everything that I found out there.
    From console commands to installing Lion through Internet recovery...That's it, I give up
    Will take it for replacement tomorrow.
    Thank you
