  • IPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes, iPod is stucked in apple screen and it's not recognized at iTunes

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and a windows7 machine; and it's stucked in apple screen. And it's not reconized in iTunes program. Please, help.

    this just happened to me as well. i've found several other threads here that amount to people with the same problem. the posts are all from this week and no one has goten an answer yet. the phone help amounted to the 'hold the sleep and home buttons' advice that only puts you right where you already are: looking at the 'connect to itunes' picture. then my help guy says 'let me ask a supervisor' and basically hangs up on me.
    this is the second time for me, though, so i already know that if you go into the store they can do the restore there. what i want is advice on how to prevent this without just refusing all future updates.

  • IPod Touch Stuck on Apple Screen and iTunes won't recognize

    I was resetting my ipod touch to clean it off to give to my sister. I thought it was plugged in, but turns out it was not, so the battery died while it was resetting itself. Now it is stuck on the apple screen. I have tried everything to reboot it and get iTunes to recognize the device, but nothing has worked. I had my computer cleaned, so iTunes is brand new and has never been hooked up to this iPod Touch. I need help please!!

    TRy placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring. See:

  • IPod stuck at Apple screen and computer won't restore iPod

    My 80gb Classic is stuck on the Apple screen, and doesn't respond at all. It says to restore my iPod using iTunes, however, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, even though I've updated it.
    I've tried restarting my iPod, updating iTunes, and repeated attempts at connecting my iPod. None of the support articles really help, and I've tried all I can think of.

    Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • Ipad is stuck on apple logo and Restore didn't help

    Hi
    My Ipad 2 has been stuck on the apple logo for a few days!
    It was working fine except that safari wouldn't open (although i could use the internet via Chrome)
    My husband took it to an apple Genuis Bar (Westfield) and they got Safari to work.
    We switched off the iPad and then, the next day, when we switched it on (fully charged) it got stuck on the apple logo.
    There is also the start of a 'time bar' below the apple logo, but it doesn't advance at all.
    I have tried to restore the iPad twice from my pc (linking to the pc with the home button pushed down) and it has done a full restore (from my last pc back up of April)
    But it goes back to the stuck apple logo again!
    Please help! I am away and desperate to get it to work!
    Many thanks

    There really isn't anything else to try if restoring didn't help. I don't think this will work, but since you are desperate and restoring didn't work, reboot the iPad. You have nothing to lose.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipod 80gb is stuck on apple screen and clicks. Continue to restart non stop

    I have two ipods and both are having the same problem. One is a 2gb nano and the other is an 80gb 5th gen. Both will go to the apple load screen and sit there for a second or two and restart and never end this sequence for hours. The 80gb 5th gen will make clicking noises between restarts. Both batteries have been charged and I even replaced the battery in the 80 gb with a new one and still the same problem. I thought maybe the hard drive was to blame but the nano doesn't have one. I have no idea what it could me.
    Here is a video I posted on you tube as well. Not the best quality but you get the idea.

    I have tried restoring to factory settings and reinstalling software but no luck.

  • Ipod 4 Stuck on Apple screen

    My Ipod 4 is stuck on the apple screen. After about ten minutes, it turned white and went back to the apple screen again and I don't know why. I know you can reset it with the home and power key but does that get rid of everything on the Ipod? How do I fix this and keep all my data?

    See Here for  Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    NOTE:
    IF the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • HELP!!! iPod is stuck on black screen and wont work!!!

    I've had my nano for 2 years and it's gotten locked up and I pressed buttons until it worked, but never like this! For the past 3 days my ipod has been stuck on a black screen, and I made sure it wasn't on hold. I've been plugging it into EVERYTHING!! My iHome, my wall plug-in, and my computer but it never works! When I plugged it into my computer, it didn't even detect an ipod plugged in! After that I hit random buttons for half and hour. So, before I throw it out the window in a fit of rage, any advice?!

    Have you tried pressing the menu button and the center button at the same time?
    If you hold them down for about ten or so seconds the gray apple will appear and things will start working again..
    The same thing happened to me today Lucky me I work with an I pod Crew and they helped get it running

  • IPod Touch Stuck On Apple Screen After Reset

    iPod Touch would not show up in iTunes after being connected to the computer so I went through the online walkthrough of common problems, when I reset the ipod it froze on the apple logo and will not respond at all.
    Any solutions?

    I was having the exact same problem with my Ipod touch, finally I figured out the problem after having tried all of those troubleshooting links, 1st I went into the start menu then right clicked on My Computer, then clicked manage. Then once I got into computer management I clicked on Device Manager, and at the bottom of the page I clicked the on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, it should say apple Mobil device right underneath, once you get there leave this page open. Open up itunes, connect ipod then hold the on/off switch and home button until itunes asks you to restore your ipod. Click restore, and it may say also say update and restore if so click on it. Then while it tries to restore your ipod click back on computer management and keep an eye on the apple mobil device USB port, you should get a warning that pops up next to the mobil device port, if you do double click on the apple mobil device and click reinstall.
    Sorry this is so long and drawn out I hope that it helps.

  • My classic has started clicking while freezing and now ita stuck on one screen and the wheel doesnt work

    Clicking while freezing for a few seconds now its froze on one screen and wheel wont work

    I know it sound silly but please try these steps, part of the 5Rs
    Can you toggle the Hold switch and make sure, you can see the Red plastic.
    Then Reset your iPod - Press the Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the buttons.

  • IPod Touch hangs with blue screen and restore mode also fails

    My daughter's iTouch 3G crashed last night while she was playing a game came up with a blue/green screen and couldn't turn off. Tried reboot which brought it back to Apple Logo where it stayed for about 10mins. Then tried restore. Managed to get as far as connecting it to iMac and going through restore process to "restoring iPod software" until that hangs too - with "iPod couldn't be restored Unknown Error 1603". Tried again with Error 9.
    Have followed troubleshooter - have latest itunes, USB settings, firewall etc. Works fine with my iPhone.
    Any ideas or is the iTouch screwed?

    Common, no one has any ideas?  Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process.  I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed.  Someone has got to know something.  I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea.  Thanks

  • Ipod screen and home buttom wont work

    my screen wont work, i cant press anything. and the home key isnt doing anything for me. i can only press the sleep bottom to make the screen blank but it wont go to power off mode. please help!!

    Is it detected within iTunes? If so, have you tried to restore it using iTunes? Be aware that restoring it will wipe out whatever media you currently have on it.

  • Ipod touch stuck on 'connect to itunes' - Restore is not working

    We've got an Ipod touch (no idea on generation) that we were trying to sync some apps to from a laptop (not mac), they wouldn't sync so we tried resetting the ipod and syncing everything together. After resetting when we tried to access the ipod on itunes it just came up with 'could not connect to itunes store' (where we are it is currently blocked) which meant that we could not access the ipod via itunes in any way and then ipod was then stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen.
    We tried turning both it and laptop off and on again, disconnecting etc. Then tried the restore using the home and on/off button which triggered the restore via itunes by putting it into recovery mode and it downloads everything fine but the ipod still remains on the connected to itunes screen - we've now tried restoring it 4 or 5 times.
    I was confused as to why the ipod wanted to connect to the itunes store in the first place because it has never asked to do so before and as it is blocked here then for every sync before this it has not been connected nor has it wanted to be. Perhaps it's to do with the apps? But there are apps already on the ipad. Perhaps taking the laptop and ipod to somewhere with wireless where the itunes store isn't blocked will allow us to access the ipod and restore/reset/sync and that will fix the issue?
    We're loathe to take it all the way to the nearest apple shop, especially on a wet Sunday, just for them to tell us that their only advice is to trigger the recovery mode which we know doesn't work! So any other advice is much appreciated.
    Just to clarify, we have been through recovery mode 4 or 5 times and done a full restore on it, with it downloading all the software and firmware and it hasn't worked.

    To restore an iPod an internet connection to the iTunes store is is required. iTunes on the computer has to g to the Apple server to verify that it is using the latest firmware update.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen flash light and camera flash wont work.

    It stopped working yesterday and my ipod is only about 3 months old. I tried resetting everything and even a force restart but still the same thing. Is my ipod broken or is this just a bug?

    Try (not knowing what resets you already did):
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
