Stuck on apple logo, won't connect to itunes

My iPod touch 4th Genereation is stuck on the apple logo after updating it, it also can't be recognized by itunes.
Really stuck as all answers seem to either be about one.
Please help.

Try:
- 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 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.

  • IPhone stuck in restore and won't connect to itunes

    Yesterday I started having problems with my iPhone 4s - there would be no sound when a text or call came through, the ringer buttons on the side of the phone didnt display the volume dashes when pressed, and for most of the day the signal just said 'searching' and would only occassionally connect to the wifi.
    Tried to plug it into the mac last night (latest operating system, only a few months old) and the phone wasnt recognised on itunes nor would it back up.
    Gave up, and having left it over night I tried plugging it in to iTunes this morning and after a couple of attempts of unplugging it and plugging it in the phone was finally recognised and I managed to do a back up. As the phone still hasn't been working properly I thought I would try a restore, however the phone is now stuck in 'recovery mode' the iphone screen just shows the connect to itunes picture, although its plugged in to the mac, nothing is happening. The phone is now stuck in no mans land and I can't get it to connect to iTunes, the couple of occassions it did connect it wouldnt restore and just came up with error code 1604.
    I've tried different usb cables and different usb ports and have never had a problem connecting until yesterday, have also tried to restore the phone by pressing the home and power button but I cant get past the connect to itunes screen.
    Am at a loose end as to what to do now... any help/advice appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for this, but it hasnt worked...
    the screen on the phone keeps changing on its own from the apple logo to the connect to itunes logo, and when i turn the phone off it just turns back on by itself straight away and shows the connect to itunes logo. itunes is still not detecting anything.
    any other suggestions out there?? am slowly admitting defeat and can see a visit to the apple store coming on

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • IPod nano stuck on Apple logo; won't boot.

    I have an iPod nano that seems to charge, but won't boot. There's no sad iPod logo or anything, just the Apple logo. I can boot it into diagnostics mode, and it seems to be fine. However, it won't go into disc mode.
    Any advice?

    This tread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=723183) is about the same problem you're having. At some point it's said:
    "Hold down Select / Menu (to reboot the iPod)
    As soon as the Apple logo appears, hold down Rewind / Select until...
    ...you see a backwards Apple Logo.
    At this point, you will have entered Diagnostic Mode. It'll test the RAM, and then tell you to HIT PLAY TO CONTINUE. Hit 'Play'.
    You'll be in a menu that you advance by hitting FF (Fast Forward). Advance to the 'DISKMODE' entry.
    Hit 'Select.' This will put you into Firewire Disk mode. The screen should change to the familiar 'Do Not Disconnect' mode. At this point, connect it to the computer.
    Run the restore utility; it should now recognize the iPod and offer to Restore the factory software. Do so. You'll lose whatever's on it, but you'll avoid having to send it back in to Apple and paying repair fee."

  • IPhone 6 plus stuck with apple logo, won't turn off!

    I got my new iPhone 6 plus today. I set it up as a new phone I couldn't restore from backup as I needed iOS 8.1 to restore the backup of my 5s.
    So after upgrading to 8.1 I reset my 6 plus to restore the backup and now its stuck on the apple logo.
    I can't turn it off to get it into recovery mode, I've tried holding the home and power buttons, the device appears to restart, after a few minutes it flashes on a red screen for a split second then its back to the apple logo. I've restarted multiple times and same thing keeps happening.
    iTunes won't recognise the device so I'm really at a loss to what I can do from here. Can't get into my local Apple genius bar until Wednesday and I'd really like it sorted before that.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Hi there thatgurlwho,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below if your device isn't booting past the Apple Logo.

  • Ipod touch is stuck on apple logo except when connect to computer

    I have an Ipod touch 3G 32gb.  When you try to wake the ipod from sleep the home button will not work.  When you push the power button the apple logo will come on for approx. 30 sec and then it will go to a black screen.  Everytime I hit the power button this occurs.  I have done a restore and as long as it is connected to the computer it will boot up.  As soon as I disconnect it and it goes into sleep mode, the cycle starts all over again.  Any suggestions?

    If it is still doing it after a restore, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • IPad stuck on Apple logo - won't recover/restore

    Hi guys,
    Sorry if this seems like a repeat question, but I've just spent several hours looking through previous solutions to similar questions and none of them have worked for me.
    My iPad was working fine until last night, when it mysteriously reverted to the black start-up screen with the Apple logo and refused to budge.
    I have managed to get it into recovery mode several times, and each time the process appears to be working at first - but as soon as I get to "Waiting for iPad", the screen freezes up again, this time with a grey bar below the Apple logo that's stuck on 0%. Still no action after leaving it this way for several hours.
    I've tried every recommended solution I can find (short of taking it to the Apple store, but I'm currently travelling overseas) but nothing seems to work.
    Any thoughts?

    Try the following:
    1. Reset
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
    2. Restore:

  • Ipod touch 4g stuck on book logo and wont connect to itunes, also computer sees it as a t mobile mytouch???

    ipod touch 4g will only turn on when connected to the wall outlet OR I have a portable charger plugged into it and I can plug into PC that way. Computer sees it as T mobile mytouch and asks me to install drivers for it. iTunes doesnt see it at all. My ipod is now stuck on apple boot logo. I can get to itunes restore screen but computer wont recognize it to restore it to set up. Should I just junk it? iOS 4.2.1

    Start here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Then try a restore.
    You may also have to place the iPod in Recovery mode or DFU mode to allow a restore

  • IPhone screen stuck on Apple logo, iPhone cancels sync in iTunes

    I noticed the volume indicator read "headphones" when the headphones were no longer plugged in. Then it all got worse from there. I have read many posts and tried many things multiple times but can not get the phone to work. The black screen w/ the logo is stuck. I can get the picture on the screen of the plug & iTunes icon (for connecting to iTunes v9), but that soon leaves and returns the logo screen. When I connect to iTunes a message appears "recovery mode detected must restore" which I try to do (I get all the common messages, extracting, preparing, waiting, restoring, verifying, restoring firmware, iphone has been restored to factory settings). But when I get to the "Set Up Your iPhone" page and attempt to restore from any recent backups I get error messages that go something like this: Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The device is not connected.; not sync iPhone canceled sync; could not sync contacts iPhone canceled sync; could not sync cannot read or write to disk. Also note, that little circle of status bars goes around and around (on the screen w/ the logo) at times but nothing happens. Any suggestions before I trek an hour to the Apple store?

    Strange looks from the Genius at the Apple store when explaining my problem. He looked at the terminals with what looked like a otoscope and said the moisture sensors were activated (the 2 visible w/out taking phone apart, in each terminal jack, headphone & charger). Then he went in the back room to take phone apart to see if the internal sensor was activated. It was not, therefore my phone was covered by warranty and it was replaced at no cost other than my time and gas. I JUST WANT TO SAY my phone has never been around water. These phones need to be better designed (i.e., use gold plated terminals) to handle humidity from your pocket, from being in a bathroom when you shower, from moving from cold enviroment to hot, etc. This is my 4th iPhone in less then 2 years. I like to talk my Apple products up to my pc freinds but when I have issues like this they stick it to me.

  • Frozen on apple logo and not connecting to iTunes

    I've had my iPod Touch for one year and then suddenly the other day, without having done anything, it got stuck at the apple loge starting page, but with a "broken" apple (see pic: http://i48.tinypic.com/i405tw.jpg ) I've tried tuning it on and off with the home and on/off button. I've tried letting it drain of battery and complete recharging it, and I've tried making it connect to iTunes by holding down the home button, but the only thing that happened was this: http://tinypic.com/r/20avrt5/6
    Does anybody know if there's anything I can do?

    Mine is 14 months old and I put it into sleep mode yesterday and this morning it would only show the Apple logo for a few minutes and them it showed me the battery with a very small red line (all but completely dead). iTunes didn't recognize it either. I searched and tried everything I could find the net for about 6 hours (what a waste of my time) but, I found the solution on a Mac forum that worked for my 32gig 2nd gen iTouch. I had to do a full restore but now it seems to be working fine.

    1. start iTunes.
    2. plug the ipod into your computer
    3. hold the power (on top) and home (on front) buttons for a few seconds.
    the ipod should power up, and if if is screwed up, will be in recovery mode... from there iTunes will tell you that it finds your ipod in that mode, and needs to restore it.
    just click restore, sit back and it should work again.
    did you hack it at all?
    if you did not hack it, and that doesn't work, call applecare and see what they say. maybe it is faulty?
    still, from my experience with my friends ipod that i made 100% unusable, there is a way to restore even the most broken ipod as long as it has a battery charge.
    i suspect a small portion of the memory is dedicated to keeping emergency boot files that allowed you to restore, no matter how bad things get." End quote.
    It seems to be working fine now. I suspect the 3.1 update is what caused the problems because before I PAID to install it everything worked fine for 14 months.

  • I synced my friends ipod to my itunes, and all our contact information switched around and now my apple ID won't connect to iTunes Store anymore. What happened?

    After I synced my friend iPod to my iTunes, our information got all messed up. Any emails apple sent to me, she would receive and I got all the messages sent to her. Whenever I tried to use my apple ID to download an app or anything, the password wouldn't work even though I was using the correct email and password. So I restored my iPod and created a new apple ID, and now the ID works, but whenever I try to get an app, it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". What do I do to fix this?
