If the screen remains on and you can't turn the iPod/screen off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
From the sympton an appointment at the Genious Bar of an Apple store might be in order.

Ipad air will not turn on past apple logo and there is a blue flash and then it's restarts again

my iPad air will start loading but will not make it past the apple logo. in which the screen turns blue and then in restarts from the beginning any help will be greatly appreciated

Try to force it into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Press and hold the home button while plugging in the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IPhone will not turn on past Apple logo...help

I recently restored my iPhone 3G and it died during the restore to factory settings. I let it charge overnight and then tried to power it on and it comes to the Apple logo on the screen for 10 seconds and then just shuts off again. I tried to connected to computer and still the same outcome. The computer does not even know its there. iTunes and everything else works fine because i hooked my 3GS up and it knows its there. What do i do next, take it to apple? Please help

IPod won't turn on. Apple logo flashes, charged for 6+ hours

My iPod touch won't turn on at all. When I plug the charger into a wall, the apple logo just flashes on and off. When I hold the home and power button for a reset, a picture with the itunes symbol and charger comes up and thats it, it doesn't go past that and if I release the two buttons, it just goes back to flashing the logo. When I connect to the computer, it won't even charge and my computer won't detect the iPod. It's def not a dead battery considering so many people are having this issue. How do I fix it?

See what you missed here. It is not looking promising.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Screen replacement and iphone wont turn on past apple logo help please

I broke my screen on my iPhone 5s awhile back and when i finally get to replace the screen i did and then when i go to turn on my iPhone 5s the apple logo pops up and then it apple will go away but you can see that the screen is still on. I can connect it to iTunes and it said sn # N/A and when i go to restore and update it will say i think error 9 or 6 and error 27 or 29 then is will show and blue screen on my iPhone 5s and then it will shut off.

Iphone won't turn on past apple logo, can't restore. HELP

All of a sudden tonight, my iphone 4s restarted, but it only got to the apple logo screen, then restarted again. It was doing that repeatedly every 10 seconds or so for the last few hours. The only thing I could do was turn it off completely but only if it wasn't plugged in. If I plugged it into a power source it kept restarting and I couldn't even turn it off. But turning it off didn't do anything anyway because when I turned it on again it just continued doing the same restart cycle. I tried a reset, which had no effect at all. I tried to do a complete restore using itunes, several times. It starts to restore but then I get a message "The iphone (iphone) could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)." I made sure itunes and OS X were up to date, restarted my computer, and tried again a few times with the same failed result. And now the phone doesn't continually loop through the apple logo. Instead, after the apple logo, it shows the connect-to-itunes screen (in order to do a restore, but like I said, that doesn't work) and stays on that screen for a minute until it turns off. (But again, if I leave it plugged in, it doesn't stay off. It keeps turning back on and it stays at the connect-to-itunes screen until I turn it off.)
So I don't know what options I have left. As far as I can tell, I have a brick that lights up with an apple logo or itunes logo.
One thing that did happen earlier today that could be related: I tried to update my iphone (I believe I have 7.0.4 and it was updating to 7.0.6?) but something weird happened during the update (can't remember exactly) and I ended up having to restart my phone without it finishing the update. It wouldn't let me update after that, which I didn't really care about, so I just left it with the ios version I had. Then later in the evening this happened.
One other small thing to note (probably insignificant)-- When the phone kept going through the apple logo loop, right before the screen went black and it restarted, the apple logo would grow dim and there was sometimes a horizontal line across the screen, then it went to black.
If anybody has any ideas, please help! It would be much appreciated. I don't want to have to buy a new phone so soon. Apple products are supposed to have a long life span! And I've never jailbroken it or done anything out of the ordinary.

IPod Nano Won't Boot Past Apple Logo...

Sup all?
...Got an interesting problem here. Replaced an LCD in a Nano for a friend, installation went smooth & without problems (or so I thought). After installation was complete, I put the Nano back together & started loadin' & playin music on the Nano. About 2 days later, I decided to update it w/the new iPod Updater (can't remember the date). Now the iPod Nano won't boot past the Apple Logo. I can tell that the "menu" has been loaded 'cuz you can hear the clickin' sound when you operate the wheel.
I've tried reformatting the iPod Nano (quick & full) & then trying to restore it, but it won't boot past the logo (after successful restoration?). Now I'm going to run the battery dead & then try to restore it again.
Any suggestions/comments on this?

The solution I see in your case is to go back and download an older iPod Updater.
See this link -> iPod Updaters
I suggest taking either the January 2006 iPod Updater, or March 2006 iPod Updater.
IMHO, Some of these freezing issues occur because of a fault in the latest iPod Updater.
I suggest going back to March (or January), and the nano could possibly work again for you.

IPod Video Won't Boot Past Apple Logo

I've had my 5th Generation iPod Video (80 GB) for about 1 1/2 years. I was using it the other day and it froze in the middle of a song, so I used the reset function to reboot it. Now it won't boot past the Apple logo; it just stays there (until the battery runs out).
I definitely can't use the iTunes "restore" function, since I've been unable to get my computer to acknowledge when it is plugged in.
I'm guessing this means my hard drive is done for? If so, I'm comfortable replacing it myself, but I could use some advice regarding a good (and economically priced) replacement drive. After a quick look inside my iPod, it appears the hard drive model is a Toshiba MK8010GAH.

You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

My IPOD is not connected but computer says it is

I had a IPOD nano 2GB but I decided to upgrade to an IPOD 4GB so I can play videos. So far I am not impressed with it. On my old nano it was very organized. I had 2 playlists and and audioobok category. On my new IPOD I have a million categories and I can't seem to get it organized. I have music I don't want and can't seem to delete( songs aren't highlighted) I can't add a new playlist. So far I have music everywhere. I can't seem to add either I can't put the video where I want it. ETC ETC ETC. What is the problem? My old Nano seem to be so easy to use. Just plug it in the computer and voila. I tunes says it is pluggged in and updated, but nothing seems to working properly.
IPOD Nano 4GB Windows XP Pro
My new IPOD acts like it is not connected. That is why none of my songs are highlighted and I can't make a new playlist. Right now I have my new IPOD hooked on the computer to Itunes but it is not playing through itunes like the old one. I have tried to download the newest version of Itunes but it says I have the latest. The computer(Itunes) says it is connected and insync but for some reason not taking it. Do I need to take this back to the apple store?

Do the iPod Disk Diagnotic in this excellent post by tt2.
If the report is good
Try using the USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC
Disconnect all other USB devices
Dont use any other Apps while you are syncing or Restoring.the iPod.
Disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or other monitoring software.
Have anice day!

Ipod classic not connect the computer and not load, what do I do?

Help me please!

Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your PC? Preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC and not a USB port on the front or via USB hub.
With the iPod still connected to your PC, try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, see this article for more troubleshooting suggestions.

Looks like a hardware failure, you'll have to get it serviced by visiting an Apple Store or by contacting Apple:

I have an iphone 4 . A new screen has been fitted front and back. It suffered a bit of a bang. Now when the phone is turned on the apple logo appears but nothing more . Could there be a problem elsewhere ? Other than smashed screen? Any ideas welcome

I have an iphone 4 . It's had a new front and back screen fitted after a bit of a bang . Now when turned on the apple logo appears on the screen and then goes off. Then appears again etc etc etc .
It won't go any further . Any ideas as to what else may be an issue or has anyone else had the same problem and what was the outcome . If I back up to iTunes will I be able to back up my information without any activity showing on the screen !! I'm lost without all my information . I haven't backed up to iCloud for at least 5 months. Can anyone help me PLEASE?????

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.
