My ipod has only the apple symbol and does nothing else

I have plugged it in and opened itunes. Nothing is there to sync. It will not power off.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

What to do?? My iPod only shows apple logo and does nothing else!

Does this mean the death knoll for my 2005 iPod white 30GB? It won't connect to the computer either. I haven't had a problem with it at all for 6 years and now this....

ive had this problem before..if you hold down both the menu button and the center button at the same time until it shuts off, it will restart. try that and see if you can fix it.

Hello! I have an IPhone 3G and it will not reboot. It stays at the dark screen with the apple symbol and does nothing for hours. Any ideas? I tried even plugging it into ITunes and nothing.

Can someone help me reboot my IPhone 3G?

have you done a hard reset? (lock button on top + home button for 10 seconds)

My Ipod has frozen showing apple symbol and bar on screen, how do i fix it

my ipod touch has frozen showing the apple symbol anb a bar on the screen how do i fix it

Hello Norm,
Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear again. Keep in mind, this troubleshooting procedure may take a few attempts.

Iphone 3G only will only flash the Apple logo and do nothing else. HELP

My phone started acting up yesterday and then it started only showing the apple logo. It flashes off and on. I plugged it in the computer and it stopped when plugged in. I then downloaded the new software and it still does the same thing. Any help or information you can give will be greatly appreciated. I bought the phone overseas so I doubt I can get official support here in the USA. I just moved back to the USA from Singapore.

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

I-Pod touch only gives me the Apple symbol and will not respond to anything tried, including the "restore" method. Any clues? Thanks

I-Pod touch will not respond. I tried to "restore" it through I-Tunes and update which took nearly two hours, but it still only gives me the Apple symbol and does nothing else whatsoever. It seems completely locked up. Any help? thanks much!

My Ipad2 is always restarting, but only appears the apple symbol and doesn't starts. What can I do?

My Ipad2 is always restarting, but only appears the apple symbol and doesn't starts. What can I do?

Thank you for your reply.
I don't think it's paired with another device, as the Apple TV (3rd Gen) is the only device I have from Apple, that uses this remote (unless my iPhone or iPod can pair with it) ..or maybe the remote pairs with other than Apple products ? (Can it) ?
I have tried to press the menu and right - left - up- down - middle - play/pause simultaneously without anything happening.
All I'm left with now, is a brick with a flash on it.
I never connected it to my laptop before it broke down (as it only was 2-3 days old) can that be a problem for resetting it ?

I recently "Erased all content and settings" on my iTouch and during the reset, it ran out of battery and it has been the apple logo and a loading symbol on the screen for 2 and a half days now. What do I do?

I did drop it from about 4 and a half foot during the reset so I don't know if that has broken it.

See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allo iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.
Next try DFU mode.

I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen. I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself. Am I correct?

Hello there jodi o,
It sounds like you are unable to access the iTunes Store on your computer. I would recommend you use the following article to help troubleshoot that:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
If the issue persists after using the info for your operating system in the above article, here is the more advanced version with further troubleshooting info:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
If you are using Windows, you should also try the information in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad and I got a message that said it couldn't restore the iPad software due to an error. Now the iPad has a black scrren with the apple symbol and the processing symbol going around.

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad 2 and I got a message that said "unable to restore Ipad due to error". Now the iPad had a black screen with the Apple symbol and the processing symbol going around and around. When I tried to re connect it to iTunes is says "cannot connect to this iPhone due to error". How do I reset the ipad?

Please Get the iPad User Manual for iOS 5.

My ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
