My ipod touch flashes the apple logo and the lock screen. How do I fix it?

My ipod touch 4th Generation will flash from the Apple Logo to my locked screen. Although when I plug in my headphones everything works perfectly. I have not had this ipod very long and i have already recieved a new one from Apple before. I have also tried reseting it as well.

First try restoring the iPod from backup.
Next try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

My Ipod has frozen showing apple symbol and bar on screen, how do i fix it

my ipod touch has frozen showing the apple symbol anb a bar on the screen how do i fix it

Hello Norm,
Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear again. Keep in mind, this troubleshooting procedure may take a few attempts.

Ipod touch frozen on apple logo and thinking circle

Hello. I just purchased an iPod touch from ebay. It is stuck on the apple logo and the thinking circle, and I tried rebooting it by holding the home button or by holding the sleep button. Neither one works.
Help?

I assume that you tried to RESET it and it did not work. It is probably not connecting to iTunes to RESTORE I assume.
At this point I am not sure if putting the device in [*_RECOVERY MOVE_*|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808] and then RESTORING it will work or not or whether you would be able to put the iPod Touch in RECOVERY MODE to move forward. If it doesn't work then I would recommend either taking it to an Apple Store for evaluation or sending back to the ebay seller for a refund.

Ipod nano 4th generation switches between the Apple logo and the menu

I have a 4th generation 8 g iPod Nano that probably has about 1 hour of use since my wife won it in a raffle over a year ago. When I went to recharge it yesterday, the only thing that happens is that the display, when connected to the computer, flips back and forth between the Apple logo and the menu screen. Whenever either one of them appears, it will disappear in a few seconds, then repeat the sequence. I have done a reset and restore,and installed the latest software version but the same thing happens over and over again. If the iPod is detached from the computer, ie, its power source, NOTHING happens on the display. It black and you can't get it to show anything. My theory was that the battery needed to be replaced even though it wasn't used much in the year since she got it. In fact. the absence of use and recharging it and discharging it may have lead to this problem in the first place. However, my one issue with that theory is that, when connected to a power source, like the computer, I would think I could get it to function normally, which I can't. I was able to get to the "service menu" which won't disappear when I move about different choices, as long as its connected to the computer. Again I can get nothing if its not connected to a power source.. does anyone think that this problem could be solved by replacing the battery or does it seem like that is only part of the problem? Thanks for any help and suggestions you may have to offer.

Despite the Nano only being used for an hour or so, the battery needed to be replaced= problem solved!!

MacBook won't boot - stuck showing the Apple logo and the spinning circle.

Hi.
My MacBook suddenly froze when I was using it today. Displaying the spinning beach ball.
It never came out of it, fan running at max speed, so I tried to force restart it (Control-Command-Power), but that didn't work, so I forced the MacBook off (holding the power button pressed.)
When trying to start the MacBook again it couldn't boot. It kept displaying the grey screen, with the Apple logo and the spinning circle below the Apple logo.
I left the MacBook like this for 10-15 minutes, but nothing happened.
Went on to try the following.:
*- Removed the AC-adapter and battery for 5 minutes.*
*- Command-Option-P-R (Resetting PRAM and NVRAM).*
*- Resetting System Management Controller (SMC).*
*- Command-S (singleuser boot)*
And checking the HDD with sbin/fsck -fy
= "The volume ** appears to be OK."
*- Command-V*
Stops on the following line, and fan ramps up to full speed.:
DNSServiceRegister("ssh.tcp."): -65537)
Force reboot didn't work. Had to force it off.
But, nothing helped.
It simply won't boot.
I also tried to boot Ubuntu 7.10, but it hangs after a short while displaying "Kernel panic".
Force reboot didn't work. Had to force it off.
Also tried the option to boot from the first HDD (in the boot menu on the Ubuntu 7.10 disc), but that didn't work either. Only got a black screen, with a blinking cursor top left, and fan ramping up to max.
Again, force reboot didn't work. Had to force it off.
The only thing that has worked so far is exiting the Ubuntu 7.10 CD boot menu, and pressing enter on the prompt that appears.
But, after rebooting, the MacBook still refuses to boot into Mac OS X.
I left the MacBook alone, hoping it would work its way out of the spinning circle, but after 2 h 38 min nothing had happened.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

This happened to me last night.
I was updating my iPod and I got a message saying that it needed to do an update. I installed the update and went on ahead putting new songs on my iPod. When it was finished i ejected as I usually do and closed down.
When I went to check me e-mails this morning the Macbook would not boot. It sticks on the grey screen with the Apple and the spinny disc underneath, then it restarts and sticks on the same screen. The last software to be onstalled was Norton 11 on Monday but I have used the Macbook since. I cannot think why it will not boot.
I am loathed to do a reinstall as I have some things on the Macbook that I had not yet backed up.
Any advice?

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
Most commonly used backup methods
Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

Reinstalling MacOS does NOT fix the problem for me. I'm still searching a solution !

Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore. Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines. None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

HT3964 I am not able to reboot my Mac desktop. When I switch on the Mac, I get a white screen with the Apple logo and the little wheel below that goes round and round but the computer refuses to boot.

Hi, I am not able to reboot my Mac desktop.
When I switch on the Mac, I get a white screen with the Apple logo and the little rotating circle.
The system refuses to boot.
What can I do?

We need to get you moved. This forum is for mini-tower Macs built between 1998 and 2005 and doesn;t get as much traffic ("eyeballs on the problem") as the forums for newer Macs.
Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu and tell us what that says for "processor" and Mac OS version. Looks like this:
or this for later Mac OS versions:
With that we can figure out which of the two iMac forums you need and get the Hosts to move your post.

When opening my MBP, all that shows is the apple logo and the forbidden sign

Hello everyone,
So I'm on a 2011 MPB using 10.9.5.
I've closed it after using two nights ago, and when I came back home the day after and tried opening it, all that appeared was an alternation between the apple logo and the forbidden sign (here it is : http://stickeramoi.com/3447-3369-large/autocollant-panneau-interdit-interdiction .jpg)
I've tried repairing the disk but that failed.
Tried also re-installing OS X on it but that took about 17 hours (which is ridiculous) so I've cancelled that and instead, tried restoring a Time Machine save.
After it finished restoring the latest backup, I'm still faced with the same problem. It just won't boot.
Thank you for your time and help,

Yeah well I think I've tried about everything that I found out there.
From console commands to installing Lion through Internet recovery...That's it, I give up
Will take it for replacement tomorrow.
Thank you

My macbook pro will not start up. I get the apple logo and the little start up waiting avitar. I tried everything including starting with my back up drive and nothing happens.

My macbook pro mid 2012 will not start up. I was running bitdefender and when I went to see if it was done, I had the apple logo and the loading (winding circle) on the screen. I can not get out of this. I used my back up external drive and it did nothing. It did light up.

samnleosgpa,
you may have faulty RAM. Are you able to boot into your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test (“AHT”)? If so, try running it to see if it can detect a problem. If you’re not able to run its AHT, and you’ve upgraded your MacBook Pro’s RAM before, try reïnstalling its original RAM and see if you can get past the “-6002F” error code. If you aren’t able to run its AHT, and you haven’t upgraded its RAM or you no longer have its original RAM, then I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store to have them diagnose the problem.
