My iPhone 4S is stuck on black screen with an apple

Put the phone in a loading dock while working fine, after 10 minutes looked and saw that the screen was black with an apple on it.. Tried pressing the on/off button and home button for ten seconds but nu responce. Also attaching it to my mac does not help because it won't show up in iTunes so there is no way to approach/reset it.
Every once in a while the screen goes completely black but lights back up with the apple after 2 seconds.
Does anyone know what to do?

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem last week with my nice shiny 3 week old iPhone 6. I noticed the Apple logo was on the screen, but it did not progress like a normal boot up. I restarted the phone, and it showed the Apple logo, then a red screen then cycled back to the logo and kept looping. I got the phone to the iTunes connection stage by keeping hold of the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared then kept holding the home button. iTunes recognised the phone, and wanted to restore, but this was unsuccessful  because the phone would keep looping to the red screen and iTunes failed. After loads of Apple support, I was told it was a hardware failure, and like you I live more than an hour away from the store. None the less, I made an appointment with the Genius bods, and they replaced the phone. They said they had never heard of the problem, but really, take a look at these forums and you will see that it is a common problem and I suspect they are keeping it under wraps...
    My issue is that as a disappointed customer with faulty goods, why should i have to stick to an appointment to get it replaced? What other store would you have to do this?
    The "Genius" didn't even want to see the phone powered up before offering a replacement... Oh, and it turned out they didn't have the exact same model as a replacement so they were going to send me out of the store empty handed.... I kicked off BIG time, and they very reluctantly gave me a phone from the sales stock, rather than the repairs stock..
    Not a happy Apple customer anymore, and I feel the more people who know about the lack of service and customer care the better. They need to get off there high horse and join the real world!

  • Stuck on black screen with white apple icon

  • Unable to restore iTouch, stuck on black screen with white apple

    Hello to any and all that can offer me assistance:
    I have an iPod Touch.  I have restored it more than once.  It will show the screen with the USB cord and the iTunes logo. After the restoration process the computer screen will say that the restoration was completed and my iTouch will turn back on to be recognized by iTunes in 10 seconds.  That never happens.  Instead I get the black screen with the white apple.  It will stay on then flick off after about 20 seconds repeatedly.
    I have tried uninstalling all Apple files and re-downlading them.  I have tried letting it die then charging it.  I was getting error 1611 so I disabled my security software and did the restore again. I have deleted and readded the file in the folder for iPod software updates.  I have held the shift key when pressing restore in iTunes and selected the newly downloaded iOS/firmware.  I unplugged it from the front USB port on my tower to a slot on the back.  I unplugged and restarted my pc with nothing plugged into the USB ports other than the iTouch cord, my mouse and keyboard.
    All have failed.  Once - out of no where - I thought that I had gotten lucky because it was back to factory defaults.  I added my apps and music to it.  Once I unplugged it from my PC within minutes it died and started doing the flicker on and off again.
    What else can I try? I am frustrated and running out of ways to google and review other discussions on the Apple site on how to repair it. I don't know what generation it is.  I've owned it for maybe 2 years.  It's a 32g iTouch.
    Please help if you can! :-)
    Thx,
    HunyB

    Are you referring to when i hold down the circle button until it restarts? I've tried that.  I always get back to the screen with the USB cord pointing toward the iTunes logo.  While still holding the button i plug it in to the USB cord.  I do the restoration....it shows a little icon that are small lines like sunrays that light up like it;s about to restart.....then it gots back to the flickering. ;-(

  • IPhone OS 2.0 at Black Screen with Apple Logo, Apps crash and not run

    Apple Support: Do not delete this. I am complying with your requests. According to your T&C, I must state my problems in question form to ask the community or your teams for help in a constructive way. I believe my original post was only playfully negative, but since I am complying now, I would expect that you do not delete this, otherwise you're simplying just trying to put spin on a buggy release. PLEASE HELP. I have not heard back from Feedback, and phone support continually says to RESTORE the phone, which only solves these problems for a few hours.
    1) My iPhone OS 2.0 is very slow, even with a virgin restore with no apps or synchronized content.
    2) My iPhone OS 2.0 reboots at random times.
    3) My PURCHASED applications crash randomly, under unreproducible conditions.
    4) Free applications crash randomly.
    5) My iPhone OS 2.0 will not boot after an irregular interval of reboots, showing only the black screen with the apple logo. Letting this sit for 8 hours simply drains the battery until it goes pitch black. POWER+DOWN_ARROW and an iTunes restore is the only way to recover. This process takes hours to complete.
    I have gone several days without a working phone while away from the iTunes at home to restore my contacts and other data vital to the operation of my business, not to mention a phone that actually works to make and receive calls.
    As stated in the previous post, I'm a loyal Apple customer, and have spent considerable time evangelizing the brand, and have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars by purchasing Apple laptops instead of Dell.
    Can you please tell me how to solve this? If there is no firmware problem, please give me a real solution to fix this. I am not the only one with this problem.
    Thank you in advance,
    Kevin

    Many of us have this problem. I've had it several times now.
    The only way to fix it, is to restore the iPhone.
    I know it seems like it wont boot, or wont do anything, but it will... just do this.
    Start Itunes. Turn off the iPhone, now put it in the dock or plug it into the USB cable, WHILE holding the top button on the phone down. Keep holding it down. It will then show a connect cable icon on the phone. It should show up in iTunes at this point. Proceed to restore the phone per screen instructions.
    Once its back up and booting and working etc...
    MAKE SURE... you DO NOT... install any application or delete any application on your iphone. IF you dare do so.... MAKE ABSOLUTELY certain you do not do ANYTHING at the same time. That means NEVER DL an app from itunes store on your phone, and while it is installing, ... avoid clicking on anything, touching the phone, starting a different app, going back to the itunes store...
    In other words... If you try to multitask... it causes some weird bug.

  • My iphone will not turn on.... it froze earlier today and now it will not turn on all i get is a black screen with the apple symbol every once in awhile... also it will not connect to my computer so i can reset it to factory settings

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • HT201412 my iphone is not turning on its freeze on the black screen with the apple logo.Please help me guys iam fed up please its a humble request

    my iphone is not turning on its freeze on the black screen with the apple

    - 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.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • 4g Ipod touch is stuck on black screen with apple logo, please help!

    i have a 4G ipod touch, while downloading an app it froze and i restarted it using the home and sleep buttons. now its stuck on a black screen with the apple logo. Ive tried to restart it again, plug it into the computer and do what all the forums say but none have worked. When i plug the ipod into the computer and restart it, itll stay on the black screen for 5-10 minutes then flash to a white screen and restart itself all over again, any ideas how to fix this problem? thanks

    Well it depends if you restore from a backup or not (if you have any).  Try restoring from a backup first. If the problem still continues, then you'll need to set it up as a new iPod, meaning you would lose the content stored on your iPod including, music, videos, apps, app data, etc.
    See this article for what is included in a backup.

    And see this article for assistance on restoring your iPod from a backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Either content, such as your music, movies, apps, etc should still be in your iTunes library as well.  So you should be able to sync it back over to the iPod once you have restored it.
