  • What does it mean when my Ipod Touch (3rd gen.) screen is black with a loading circle?

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch is currently broken, I'm not sure. The screen is black with a loading circle that has been loading since yesterday. The device won't shut off nor has it run out of battery yet. Any clues?

    have u tried restarting it yet? hold both home and power button for at least ten seconds... or it could be just in the process of shutting down (not going to sleep mode but actually turning off) and is taking a while to process everything???

    A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
    On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
    Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

    my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • HT201210 My Iphone 4S screen went black but iTune is unable to finish recovery and software restore.

    My Iphone 4S screen went black but the Iphone was still working. I was able to play music with the headset.
    I went a head and put it in a safe mode to perform a recovery. iTune updated the software succesfully but is unable to finish recovery and software restore.
    I went to the support page to see what suggestion apple has but I had done already what they asked (update software, unplug all other USBs, restart the computer, iTune and restore process).
    Any suggestion what I can do?
    Thanks

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. It's probably a hardware failure.

  • Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on

    Iphone 4s screen  went black and wont turn on... what do I do?

    Does the Vibrate/Mute switch make the iPhone vibrate? Does iTunes on computer recognize the iPhone? If not, then possibly the battery is faulty or worse. If yes, then the LCD Display is not working, possibly the connector came loose and simply needs to be pressed down to the logic board. Of the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. Or worse. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Replacement iPhone is $199 or battery is $80 with Apple.

  • My iPhone 4 screen went black.

    My iPhone 4 screen went black and is not responsive to anything, plus my lock button is broken so there is no way to hard reset it, HELP!!

    I've had a similar problem to this, (apart from the lock button), I called apple up using the option where it was something to do with the recent update to 6.0.1, and from what they said it had happened to more than one other person! They're sending me a replacement, so long as it isn't liquid (water) or accidental damage. Maybe you should try the same if this is still happening? Mine did it more and more frequently as time went on so it may just get worse.
    Hope I helped! Good luck :)

    The following is how to do a proper reset of an iDevice:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My iphone 4s screen went black, then siri stopped working, now the phone wont charge

    My iphone 4s screen went black, but Siri was still working and then a little bit later Siri stopped working. I then let the battery go dead and have plugged it into my laptop and it is not responding. I tried holding the lock button and home button for 10-15 seconds but that did nothing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    Hi
    how old is the device as the battery may need replacing or if no help visit your local apple store or contact support
    good luck

    My iPhone's screen is black with a white search circle in the middle of it. I can't get it to turn on or off. What should I do?

    Try doing a hard reset - by holding the 'Power' button on the top and the 'Home' button simultaneously!

  • 4s screen went black with the apple logo when i opened a text?

    went to open a text last night and then the screen went black with the Apple logo, but within seconds the main screen came back and the phone worked normally. Do i have a problem? It's only 4 months old so i hope its not on its way out already.
    Any help would be appricated.

    Reset your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up, you wont lose anything. If it continues to do it after that, then do a restore of your phone in itunes.

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • HT1430 hi my Iphone S5 screen went black I cannot anymore access my phone... Tried to turn off... screen is still black

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.
