Recently downloaded and (tried to) installed IOS 8.1 for my iPhone 6 (16GB) and now all it does is load the white screen with the black Apple logo and then crashes and shows a red screen. The cycle then repeats. Suggestions?

Title says it all.

Hi Cornelius6505,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone does not start up past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

Why am i getting error message when trying to install iOS 7.0.3 to iPhone 5? It just won't download.

Why am i getting an error message when trying to download and install iOS 7.0,3 to iPhone 5?

If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes. First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone. It asked if i wanted to install it. I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
So therein is the answer. Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
There is no bug. While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes. Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors. That's not a function specifically of the device.

I have installed yosemitie but now all i can see is a white screen?

i have installed on an apple mac 21 inch.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Upgraded MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite, now all I see is a blank white screen?

After more then five hours of installation, all I'm left with is a blank white screen, does anyone have any suggestions? This is supposed to be seemles, I trust apple upgrades, was I wrong to be so trusting?

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your MacBook Pro isn’t starting up normally since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. The article linked below provides a lot of information and troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one that you’ve described.

Ipad mini crashes, goes black, apple logo comes up then back to the home screen. it happens at random times with random apps

my ipad has been crashing. it will happen at random times with random apps. it will turn black, apple logo appears, then back to the home screen. i have reset it. ive sent it to apple and they couldnt reproduce the problem and they sent it back. it was fine then it happen twice this morning.

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

I am trying to install iOS 6 on my IPAD2 but none of the screens that are displayed are what is on my IPAD.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

After connecting your iPhone to the computer did you restore using the iTunes on your computer?

That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

My ipod was doing the latest update of ios and it froze so i tried to reset it now all i get is a light blue screen. help please.

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 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.

HT4623 I am trying to install iOS 5.1 on my iPad, but when I go to 'Settings' and then to 'General' the link 'Software update' is not visible. Any advice welcome.

I am trying to install iOs 5.1 on myiPad but when I go to 'General' to 'Settings' the link 'Software update' is not visible. Any advice would be welcome.

This feature is only available on iOS 5 or later. You must still be running iOS 4. Connect your iPad to the computer you usually sync with and run iTunes software update.

I tried to install iOS 7 and now my phone won't turn on?

Well, around 3 hours ago I tried to install iOS 7. It said I didn't have enough space so I deleted mostly all of my apps, all my music, all my photos and all my videos. It then said I had enough space so I went to install it. It kept saying error over and over again so I tried restarting my phone (which is an iPhone 4) and then it went all wrong. It just stayed on the Apple logo and never went off it. I asked around and I was told to do a hard reboot (I hold down the off and home button for 10 seconds, then lift my finger off the off button until the logo comes on again and links with my iTunes). I did this and it linked with my iTunes but it won't download iOS 7 from it (it says it has "40 hours remaining" or something ridiculous but doesn't budge - it wants to download iOS7 from iTunes when I am trying to recover my iPhone) because after waiting for a while, an error pops up. It's just a vicious cycle with nothing at all changing and it's really annoying me now. Can anyone help? It's getting late and I *REALLY* need this phone for tomorrow.
Please help me.

The phone is in recovery mode. See this support document for instructions on what to do. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
