My ipod touch 3g won't go off of the apple logo?

I had my ipod touch (3g) plugged into the wall(charging), I came back to get it and it still wasn't off the apple logo.  Whenever I try and charge it, it won't go off the logo, ergo it ends up dieing. I've tried to push the home and power for long amounts of time. I tried to plug it into the computer, but it won't show up on itunes. When it is charging on the computer the screen will be on the logo for a while, then all of a sudden it will flash white and look as though it is "restarting" itself. I don't know what to do to fix it. I've searched the internet and tried everything but i haven't found anything that works. Please help! Btw it was on iOS 3 idk if that helps.

Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

    - 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.

  • Ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

    ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

    You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

  • Ipod Touch 1st Gen not starting up past the apple logo

    When I start it up i see the apple logo for about 15sec then it turns off. I've tried putting it into safe mode by holding the Power and Home button for 30sec but all it does is turn on and off twice then nothing happens.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks.

  • Ipod touch keeps on restarting, never get past the Apple logo

    Hi
    I have a first generation ipod touch.
    Since last week, as soon as I unplug the ipod from my macbook, it keeps on restarting and never get past the apple logo, until the battery empties out. But, when it is connected to my computer, it works just fine. I tried to restore it two times, but the same thing happens. I think it is too late to return it to the store: any idea what I should do with it ? Thanks for your help !

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Is there any reason it is to late to go to the store and return it? Posted below are your service options for your iPod Touch if you are still within your warranty.

  • After updating my iPod touch it won't turn on and the apple icon stays on. What do I do ?

    My I pod won't turn on. It was updated with new software and when it went to restart the apple icon comes up and stays up, but that's it. The only other action we found is that the charging indicator has come on but that's it. What should I do?

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • My ipod touch is showing a usb pointing to the itunes logo on the screen and nothing else.  It won't switch on beyond that.  Please help!

    my ipod touch is showing a usb pointing to the itunes logo on the screen and nothing else.  It won't switch on beyond that.  Please help!

    Sounds like your iPod is in restore mode. Connect it to iTunes. iTunes will pop a little message up saying that your iPod is in restore mode and asking you if you want to restore it, click yes. Your iPod will restore to factory settings and you will be given the chance to restore from a backup. You can do this or set it up as a new iPod.
    Here is Apple's page on restoring your iPod.
