Unable to restore iTouch, stuck on black screen with white apple
Hello to any and all that can offer me assistance:
I have an iPod Touch. I have restored it more than once. It will show the screen with the USB cord and the iTunes logo. After the restoration process the computer screen will say that the restoration was completed and my iTouch will turn back on to be recognized by iTunes in 10 seconds. That never happens. Instead I get the black screen with the white apple. It will stay on then flick off after about 20 seconds repeatedly.
I have tried uninstalling all Apple files and re-downlading them. I have tried letting it die then charging it. I was getting error 1611 so I disabled my security software and did the restore again. I have deleted and readded the file in the folder for iPod software updates. I have held the shift key when pressing restore in iTunes and selected the newly downloaded iOS/firmware. I unplugged it from the front USB port on my tower to a slot on the back. I unplugged and restarted my pc with nothing plugged into the USB ports other than the iTouch cord, my mouse and keyboard.
All have failed. Once - out of no where - I thought that I had gotten lucky because it was back to factory defaults. I added my apps and music to it. Once I unplugged it from my PC within minutes it died and started doing the flicker on and off again.
What else can I try? I am frustrated and running out of ways to google and review other discussions on the Apple site on how to repair it. I don't know what generation it is. I've owned it for maybe 2 years. It's a 32g iTouch.
Please help if you can! :-)
Thx,
HunyBAre you referring to when i hold down the circle button until it restarts? I've tried that. I always get back to the screen with the USB cord pointing toward the iTunes logo. While still holding the button i plug it in to the USB cord. I do the restoration....it shows a little icon that are small lines like sunrays that light up like it;s about to restart.....then it gots back to the flickering. ;-(

I don't know if I have a 4 or 4s.
The latest version is 5.1.1. If you are trying to update to 5.1 that is your problem; it can't be done.
As your phone is "stuck" follow the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
It doesn't matter if you have a 4 or 4S, but you can easily check by entering its serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do -
my new ipad 2 turnes to black screen with the apple icon in the middle while using it or if i just left it locked for a while, it just hanged and i have to restart it?! so why this is happening ?! is there is a productio error or something i can do to prevent doing this ?!
Appreciate responding as soon as possible.No, it's definitely not normal. Your User's Guide recommends a series of troubleshooting steps to go through when your iPad is misbehaving: As you're already in effect doing the first of the main steps, a Restart of your iPad, and that's not curing it, move on to the next .. a Reset.
To do this, press and hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons for about 10-12 seconds, until the display blanks and the red Power Off slider appears. Continue holding the buttons until the slider disappears, replaced by the black screen and white Apple logo.
This shows your iPad is starting to reboot. Release the buttons and allow the process to continue until the Lock screen appears again, then slide the slider to complete the process. -
ipad 4 frozen during update ios 8.1.3. - did anybody know how to restart (or reset) my ipad4 from black screen with white apple logo?
Hi there did you end up getting this resolved? I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo. Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo. Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all. Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it. It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions? -
Black screen with white apple logo won't go away! Help please.
Last night I turned theipod completeley off and restarted it. The black screen with the white apple logo came on and hasn't went of since.
I've tried everything I could find in the forums and on the support page.
iTunes will not recognize my ipod which has continously tried to start up again every 5 minutes.
I don't know what more to do, ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
DanaI did try that. When I do that the red slider bar to turn the ipod off doesn't come up.
Its still trying to reset itself but won't go any farther than the black screen with white apple.
Thanks -

My iphone won't turn back on after it fell off the charger. When I plug it back into the charger, the screen with the apple icon pops up and it buzzes and just keeps repeating the same two steps. What can I do? Help!

So I've done the whole hold the power and home button, it resets but still stays frozen on the black screen with the apple icon
Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Does it work with headphones plugged in? If yes, did you try to play music in headphone mode, then unplug during playback and start playing music again after that?
If you toggle the volume, can you see the slider moving up or down? -
Black screen/black screen with white apple
Apple IPAD, IOS8
Problem
screen goes black or black with white apple. Device will not function until I remove the screen. I do this through multi-tasking.Hard Reset, Hold down your home and power buttons until the screen goes blank then release when you see the apple logo.
Failing that. Plug into iTunes and restore.

Flashing Black Screen with White Apple Curse
Hey everyone!
I haven't updated my ipod in such a long time that I decided to do it over the weekend. I have way more songs than before and I've also added podcasts. However, after syncing everything, my video ipod (80GB) went into the black screen white apple phase. I can hear the hard drive go on and off and it goes on in an endless loop. I've managed to put my ipod in disk mode (for charging) because the regular reset did not help. I also uninstalled and installed iTunes. After this, I did the restore in iTunes and it seemed to work (for now) because there's really nothing in my ipod. It is when I start syncing that my ipod becomes my dilemma. After the sync completes, it goes back to the black screen white apple phase that I came to know as a curse. Will someone please tell me what's going on?
Cheers!
-x2uiwI know for sure lots of people have the same problem with iPod 5th generation.
About me everything happened when I updated my iPod 160gb from 1.0.1 version to 1.0.2 version by the latest iTunes 7.5 version.
Until now anyone has been able to help me.
Personally I am looking forward a new update software.
I guess it would be helpfull to repair any corrupt files.
If anyone have a tip in this matter is very welcome.

My iPhone 4S is stuck on black screen with an apple
Put the phone in a loading dock while working fine, after 10 minutes looked and saw that the screen was black with an apple on it.. Tried pressing the on/off button and home button for ten seconds but nu responce. Also attaching it to my mac does not help because it won't show up in iTunes so there is no way to approach/reset it.
Every once in a while the screen goes completely black but lights back up with the apple after 2 seconds.
Does anyone know what to do?See
