My iphone 4 is stuck showing the apple logo on and off. Is it possible to fix without restoring?

After the ios 7.1 update my iphone 4 will not turn on. its stuck showing the apple logo off and on. Id really like to fix it with out restoring it because i have not backed up my data on my computer. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to fix it with restoring if possible??

Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. If you cannot get the device to reboot for you to see your content, you will have to try to restore it via iTunes. See this support document for help with that.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You may not be able to back it up if you cannot get it to stay on.

My ipod keeps showing the apple logo on and off after i updated it?

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.

IPhone 5 only flashes the apple logo on and off.

My iPhone 5 will not come on. When I plug it in, the apple logo only flashes on and off. I have read some comments on this problem, but none of the solutions help me. I have put the phone in recovery mode, but it won't restore or update. I have the read the "error codes" that iTunes gives me, but they don't help either. Any help, please?

nevermind i just realized that its because the battery is flat dead.

Hey i kind of have the same issue.
I bought a iphone about 1 year ago and about 2 months ago i was not able to see any wifi connections in the area or connect to any even though i was sure that there was a wifi nearby and my fellow coleauges could connect to it with their iphone. I thought that this might have something to do with the "restrictions" so i went to turn the restrictions off but realised that it had a passcode that i had forgotten. I wasnt able to restore it within the iphone so i restored it from my computer. Once i had finished the iphone had a " connect to itunes " on the screen and it said that there was no sim car installed, even though there was. I tried cleaning the sim card and everything else, i tried connecting it to itunes but it just said no sim card installed. Now i cannot use my iphone or cant even activate it. I have also tried to restore it in recovery mode but ended up with the same problem. Please Help.! Thanks

Add me to the list of people furious with Apple about this problem...
...I have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Spain, and on day 3 of the holiday my iPhone rebooted itself and stuck at the Apple logo.
What's more annoying, I'd purchased a data abroad plan from o2 for £50 and hardly used it because I couldn't use my iPhone because it was stuck on the **** Apple logo. o2 will not refund the plan I purchased because I had started to use it (about 2.3MB to be precise).
Good job my girlfriend had her trusty Sony Ericsson phone because at least it WORKS as a phone, unlike this **** iPhone 3G which only has one use - as an expensive paperweight.
Come on Apple, at least admit there is a problem and show your loyal customers that you are actually aware there is a serious problem that is causing your iPhones to become utterly useless.
I'm seriously thinking of gettting rid of this iPhone and getting a cheap no frills phone - at least I can use it to make calls.

My iPhone is stuck on the Apple Logo and when I try to restore I get an unkown error (14) I dont know where to go from here there doesnt seem to be any other discussions like this

Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.

My iPhone is stuck on the apple logo ? problem ?

my iPhone is stuck on the apple logo and when it reaches it a messed up screen with vertical lines pops up and then it reboots over and over again , whats the problem ?

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

My iPhone 5s is showing the Apple Logo

My iPhone 5s is showing the Apple Logo, then the screen goes blue, then black, then back to the logo. I was updating to IOS 8.1.
IVe tried turning it off, but nothing happens.

Hi Janni8950,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone looping through an Apple logo after updating, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427
