My Ipod Nano (3rd Gen) is stuck on the apple logo and I don't have a computer or iTunes to fix it

Says it all in the title. My 3rd Gen is stuck on the apple logo and with no computer or iTunes how am I to fix it? I'm in some money troubles at the moment and I dont have that many resources available to fix my beloved iPod. I have tried resetting but it comes back to the logo and then it dies of battery.
Any suggestions?

If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
Regards.

  • IPod Nano 5th Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo, won't go into disk mode and won't connect to computer.

    My iPod Nano 5th Generation won't turn on; I've held down "Menu" and the center button which makes the Apple logo come up, then it just stays on that. I've followed steps I've seen on here trying to get it into disk mode by holding down the "Play/Pause" button and the center button immediately after the Apple Logo appears but it doesn't respond to that at all. I've charged it and upgraded my iTunes but nothing seems to do anything to it. When I plug it into my computer there is nothing to say it's plugged in on iTunes or My computer or anything. It's driving me crazy and I'm hoping there's a way I can fix it without it having to be sent off.
    Any advice would be cracking!
    Thanks,

    Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem and can't figure it out.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo screen when starting up.

    I've spent hours on this and it's driving me crazy. I've repeatedly tried going into recovery mode, DFU mode, and restoring (even using custom firmware) but it just won't work. Is there anything at all I can do to fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My iphone 3g is stuck on the apple logo and wont even turn off, or connect to itunes. what do i do?

    I've got the same problem.
    I wanted to download the new itunes version for iphone but it got stuck. I had no choice but disconnecting my iphone. Then I couldn't sync it anymore.
    I switched off my phone by holding down the sleep button but it has never successfully switched off. The round thing still turns.
    I've tried to connect it back to the itunes. This is the error message I get: itunes can't connect to the iphone. Code 0xE8000065. I tried to find out what error message this is but the apple support site I saw didn't mention this error code.
    Can anyone help? Thaaanks!

  • My iPod touch (4th gen is stuck on the apple logo when you first turn it on?

    So, my iPod has been acting weird since I updated to iOS 5.1.1 It gets fully carged and dies in three minutes. Well now it gets stuck on the apple logo at startup. It does the apple logo and shuts off and goes to the apple logo again. It does this repeatedly. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried resetting it multiple times, delete all the apps, all the music.

    Hey Edgar, how exactly did you do the updates? Are you running iTunes 11.2.2? And you iPod 5 is still running iOS 6.1.2 as your tag shows? or are you running iOS 7.1.1?  More info would be helpful. As Deggie asked, what was the error message, the more detailed the better. One more thing-- is this a Mac machine or a PC? Cheers.

  • My IPod Touch (3rd Gen) is stuck on the apple screen...Ive done a restored once and it didnt fix it, what do i do?

    Ok, so i know this is like other discussions but my Ipod Touch shows the Apple logo for 30 Secs, then it disappears and nothing shows, just a blank screen.  Ive done a couple restores and it comes up with the same results.
    Does anyone know how to permanently solve this problem.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen is stuck on the apple logo

    Ok i just got this on Christmas n been working fine...this is the first time the battery been so low and i threw it on the charger and its just turning on and off and staying at the apple logo screen dont no what to do......HELP ME PLEASE!

    1. Plug your iPod into your computer.
    2. Perform a hard reset by holding both the Home button and the Power/Sleep/Wake button until the screen goes black and shows the Apple logo. Release the buttons.
    3. Wait for 15 minutes. It could take less time. Your iPod will make a sound and will show the battery logo.

  • HT201210 my ipad 1 gets stuck with the apple logo and doesn t work any more. any suggestions how to fix it please? when trying to restore through itunes i keep getting error 1603

    I can't restore and make my ipad work. every time i start restoring it it gets stuck and error message (1603) pops on the screen.
    Can anyone please help? Let me know what can I do to get it to work again.
    Thanks

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.

  • My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen.

    My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen. I have restored it three times so far, but every time it turns off the problem returns. Since restoring yesterday, the battery life has been dramatically shortened as well. I have no idea what to do, as my iPod is out of warranty and this problem started for no reason what so ever. I also have no local access to Apple support. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've tried this. Though it brings temporary success, in the fact that the iPod functions until it is turned off again. Then the problem seems to return. I thought it might be a problem with the backup file, but I have since restored it completely (to have nothing but the basics on) and the problem is still there. 
    Thank you for the responses so far though. Hopefully, they can help others with a similar problem.

    I believe mine is also 4.2.1. I made an error when selecting the OS at the bottom of my posts and have no idea how I change it.
    *EDIT* - I have now managed to change my iOS, not that it makes much difference. I've heard people have been having trouble with iOS 4 on the 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen is stuck in a restore loop.

    My iPod nano 3rd gen is stuck in a restore loop.  I have wiped it with Disc Utility and attempted to restore with iTunes, but there was no effect. I checked it in diagnostic mode against an identical pod and found no significant differences in the results, both checked out fine.  I know that this is not a windows driver issue since I use a mac.  In any case such an issue should have been resolved when I wiped the pod.  I have not attempted to load any music on it or sync my library, so a corrupted file seems unlikely as well. there is no water damage and the case is in excellent condition.  I have no idea whats wrong with it so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi clarity,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

  • My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi! What should i do??

    My iPod Touch 3rd gen is screwed up the backlights screwed and the Wifi is not working its showing no wifi!

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    For backlight
    - 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: How to back up                                                                                     
    - 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.
