My ipod only shows the apple logo, and won't connect to my computer. what do i do?

My ipod touch only shows the apple logo, and i can't connect it to my computer. when i connect it, it doesn't show up in my itunes, or even in my computer. I was updating an app last night, and it wouldnt work, and it shut off.

If it is still charging using the adapter, let it charge for 10min, then connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • Ipod only showing the apple logo and will not do anything else. 1st GEN

    my ipod will only show the apple logo when plugged in to my computer i have a dell running xp but i have tried other computers and it will not do anything but show this symbol. my computer does not recognise that it is plugged in. ive tried the apple support fix-it but it does not do anything period. the buttons do not work when plugged in or not. the only thing it does is light up when plugged in. my other ipod works perfectly no problems so this leads me to believe that its not the computers i have used. just think the ipod has had it

    Mine did the same thing last week after trying to update it via wi-fi. I then spent 11 hours Sunday updating my itunes on the laptop then restoring my ipod. Now all it does is beep as if it is just plugged in and flash the white apple logo. It beeps constantly. My computer at first didn't recognize it, then it did but said I needed to unlock it,(since I can't get the home screen up, I can't.) and now it doesn't recognize it at all. I've tried both computers.

  • My ipod just shows the apple logo and won't do anything...won't even shut off. Anyone knows what may be going on Here? I just plugged it in to recharge it and now nothing.

    I plugged in my ipod to recharge it and for some reason, it just stopped and only the apple logo is showing. I may have unplugged it before it was done, not even sure at this point but now only the apple logo and I can't even shut it off. Any ideas of what I can try now? Thanks much.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for 10 to 15 seconds and see if it then reboots - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a computer reboot. If that doesn't work then you might better help in the iPod forum (this is the iPad forum)

    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.

    First, make sure iTunes is correctly installed. You may want to reinstall it.

    If iTunes is installed correctly, hold down the volume down and sleep/wake buttons till you see the apple logo, then try again.

  • My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and won't connect to itunes

    So hey guys, I tried doing everything to fix my unresponsive/frozen ipod touch 4th generation, but nothing seems to work. I remember the last time it worked was when I was restoring it but then I did the thing where you would hold the power and menu button which got me stuck to the apple logo (when it boots up) Now nothing works because I tried resetting and I can't restore because my ipod doesn't seem to be recognized by itunes but yet it charges. My last hope would be either return this or get an answer from one of you guys. Thanks!

    - I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod.  try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

  • My iPod 4 brand new charger won't show the charging sign and won't connect to a computer. I have went to the Apple Store and bought the charger but it still won't work. What do I do?

    I recently got a brand new charger from my local Apple Store. When I got home and plugged it into my charger on my computer nothing happened. It chargesbut it doesn't show the charging sign or make the sound that says its charging. It takes my iPod touch at least 4-5 hours to fully charge. I would just like some tips on what to do. I have tried resetting my iPod and I've tried just getting a new charger, but nothing works. If anyone knows anything that might help I will very much appreciate it. Thank you

  • Will only show the apple logo thats it I can do noithing else

    my ipod only shows the apple logo and willl not do anything else how do i fix it?

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
