My ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

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.

  • My 4th generation iPod shows the apple sign, then shuts off..?

    Yesterday my iPod crashed, so I restarted it a few times. When I restarted it for the 3rd time, I went to turn it back on and it showed the apple sign, then started shutting down. It's done this twice, and I can't turn it back on.... It just keeps shutting off. I need help, please!

  • TS1367 my mac pro won't boot up, it keeps showing the circle but then shuts off.  I've disconnected everything and it keeps doing the same thing.

    I have a mac pro desktop and it won't boot up, it keeps freezing at the circle and then appears to be loading and then it shuts off.  I've turned it off and disconnected everything and reconnect and it does the same thing.

    I wasn't aware PRAM batteries did any charging
    Apple has used rechargeable batteries for volatile storage for some time.
    and just 'held' information in NVRAM and PRAM when needed and there was no power coming in
    I can't see data held in NVRAM/PRAM doing something like keeping time without some power. One can't assume a permanent Internet connection to update it when the system is turned on now can we?
    I assume it is on a 1000VA UPS that has good battery and fully charged too, and didn't discharge during the vacation
    If the UPS was turned off it's as good as being totally unplugged so it may well have still been at 100% upon return. There's no power delivery when the UPS is off remember.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

  • What do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?, what do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?

    what do i do if my ipod touch keeps turning on, going to the charge screen, then going to the apple screen, then shutting off?

    If it is still charging using the adapter, let it stay there for at least 15min, then connect again, if necessary use recovery mode. iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, and the battery still shows the red charging icon, you might need a new battery.

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

  • My iPod wont turn on anymore. I have had my iPod since the end of January of 2012, Last night it shut off on me. It keeps trying to reboot itself, but all it does it show the apple symbol, then the screen goes white and reboots again. I need help. :(

    Hi, My name is Cassie.
    I bought my iPod off of amazon just around the end of January of this year (2012). Last night I was playing around on my iPod. Listening to pandora, and editing pictures. I got to a picture and clicked edit, and then my iPod shut off. It rebooted itself and seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. I put my music back on and went back to the picture and tried to edit it again. I clicked the edit button and the ipod shut off again. This time, it kept rebooting. It went to the apple symbol to turn on and about thirty seconds, the time it normally takes to turn on, the whole screen went white and then shut off and tried rebooting again. It kept doing this over and over again. After a while, it did eventually stop, but only to a completely white screen. It was like that all night long because I fell asleep. (gave up on it). It is now the afternoon and after I held the lock button and the home button down the screen when off. I let it sit for about a half an hour, then I tried turning it on again. But it still is doing the same thing. I have no idea what I could have done to make it do this. Unfortunalty, I am not home to connect it to my own iTunes, but regaurdless, it wont even connect to the computer. I did have my ipod plugged in the whole time it was rebooting and shutting off last night. It was connected to my wall jack which normally works fine. But even having it plugged into the computer as it is now, its still doing the same thing. I am dissapointed that I might end up loosing everything that I have on it. I have not been able to sync it to my computer to save all the apps and pictures and music I have stored on it. I really do hope I can get some help or advice!
    Thank You!!

  • IPod keeps blinking the Apple sign then going blank.

    I was attempting to turn on my iPod, but it wouldn't come on. So I plugged it into my computer's USB port. Now it's just blinking the Apple logo, then going blank. I've tried closing iTunes, unplugging then re-plugging it, holding in the Home button, pretty much anything I can think of! Any suggestions or answers?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    does your device charge using the wall adapter? If yes, let it charge for at least 20min, then connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    PS. The OS I am not sure do not remember exactly.

    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port
    - Try another cable try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My phone will only show the apple icon and shut off.

    My phone will only turn on for like 30 seconds, and then shuts off, and it won't sync to iTunes. When I took it to an AT&T store, they told me it just needed updated, but iTunes is not finding my phone when I plug it up. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Mine is doing the same thing - started two days ago. Yesterday it came back by itself literally whilst sitting on the table, but slow, finally returning to normal speed after about 3 hours, then locked and reverted to the apple symbol, where it's been for 24 hrs. Have tried all the things on the previous post's link. At a loss!!!!!
