Touchwheel 20G IPOD frozen on apple icon after reset

I have reset my IPOD and it is frozen on apple icon. I have it fully charged and plugged into computer...itunes and computer will not recongnize it. Any suggestions?

You may want to try a hard reset which involves holding down the PLAY and MENU buttons for a long time(up to 30 seconds)until the Apple logo appears again. Or you can let the battery drain and let it reset on its own at charge up. If that works, you need to put the iPod into disk mode and connect to the computer.

  • IPod frozen with apple icon

    iPod touch is frozen with apple symbol on screen. How do I reboot or correct. Already tried pressing and holding power and home button at same time, no result.

    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.

  • Stucked at apple icon after resetting iphone.

    Hello all, I'm currently facing a problem of my iphone NOT turning on but stucked at the apple icon whenever iphone turns on. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? If yes and no change, try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Make sure you charged your phone at least 10min before connecting.

  • 3rd Generation iPod continually shows apple icon

    3rd Generation iPod continually shows apple icon, it does not mount and cannot be seen via disk utility - despite being reset, recharged (on dock but doesn't show charge icon just the apple), cables tested/exchanged, battery swapped out with another. It will not switch off at all. I cannot restore the software as it is not recognised. However I can feel it "working", i can feel it reset each time and it gets quite warm. Any suggestions?

    I have discovered the answer myself. Put it into disk mode etc. Sorry to waste anyone's time.

  • Ipod touch 1st gen 16gb hanging at the apple icon after a failed restore from the ipod touch

    I tried to restore my ipod through the ipod not itunes and it didn't finish,now the ipod is frozen on the apple icon and the little thing that goes around(?),my PC and itunes doesn't recognise the ipod and it switches off and on again after a few hours. I have tried press and holding the sleep and home buttons but that didn't work.
    I also have an ipod nano and when I plug that in to the pc it recognises it,and opens itunes.  Any help would be great,thanks.

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:

  • Frozen screen...stuck on apple icon after turning on

    ok my iphone froze so i powered down my phone and tried to restart it. The apple icon appears and disappears and does it again viscious cycle so i can t use my phone all i can do is turn it off what should i do? Aaaaargh!!!

    First, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If that doesn't work, connect to iTunes and restore.

  • My ipod touch is connected to my USB port, it sais it's charging although... it doesn't show on itunes that i have plugged my device in, once i turn my ipod on the apple icon appears but then loses battery streight away and starts off all over again.

    although it is doing what i asked it to do, i want it to charge, ok so it does it... although when i turn it on it's as if it's either not charged at all but only enough to have the apple icon on my ipod, once it's had enough (which is like, a minute) it switches itself off and carries on charging, sometimes it switches itself on but this just takes it back to step one. also, when i connect my device to the USB port itunes does not recognise it for some reason, i've updated the newest version of itunes recently and i've tried annother ipod on annother computer with the same USB cable, so it's either the newest version of itunes, my ipod or my computer. please help
    P.S,
           i do have the required version of windows for this to work, my computer isn't a mac, it's a pc, hope this helps...

    how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

  • Ipod stuck on apple icon

    i dont know how this happened. my ipod seems frozen and only displays the apple icon. i tried to reset it (toggle hold, then hold down middle and menu button) but it just goes back to the apple logo.
    any helpful suggestions?
    thanks

    Hi oliver john!
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode - can you get it into disk mode, past the Apple logo screen?
    For instructions on forcing your iPod into disk mode, see this article:
    Putting iPod into disk mode
    If you can get your iPod into disk mode, then I would now suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes (if it is recognized in iTunes).
    For info on restoring an iPod, see this:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings

  • Ipod stuck on apple icon, computer wont recognize, restarts don't work.

    My ipod mini is stuck on the apple icon. Whenever I do the manual reset, the apple dissapears and comes back. My computer won't recognize it, and when I tried to have my ipod sent in to apple to be repaired, it said my serial number is not valid. Help me please.

    1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Still can't see your iPod?
    Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
    3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
    8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
    9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
    If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
    But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

  • Ipod nano displays apple icon and doesn't work

    I bought this nano as a gift (I already have an identical one). There were no problems syncing the content and registering the device, but once it is disconnected from the system, if you navigate to a song on the device and hit "[play", the screen goes black and will only display an apple icon.
    I returned the first one thinking it's a hardware issue, but the replacement is doing the exact same thing, leading me to believ it is a setting or software issue. I got the replacement in a completely different Best Buy too, just to try and get one from a different batch. Any ideas what's going on?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes and the Ipod's firmware is up to date.
    Make sure the "screen lock" is not set to on. Make sure the hold button at the top of iPod Nano is in the "off" position.

  • Iphone frozen on apple icon, won't start up

    Installing an update to an ap and it froze up. Turned iphone off and when I tried to turn back on it's frozen on the apple icon and won't do anything.

    First thing to try is hold down the home and power buttons for around 30 seconds until the screen turns black and the apple reappears. When it reappears release the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, connect the device to iTunes. And then... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • FROZEN ON APPLE ICON????

    I have tried resetting my ipod mini and it will not go past the apple icon showing on the screen. Also will not respond when connected to my computer. What should I try next?

    In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
    1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
    2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.

  • Frozen Gray Apple Icon

    I have a 15 inch aluminum G4, it won't start up after the Gray Apple icon. It just freezes. Occasionally there is a ticking sound, I'm guessing HD. Can anyone help. The battery is fine.

    I'm afraid your hard drive may be dying. And the fact you have no backup says you are between a rock and a hard place. Try to get Prosoft Data Rescue and an external Firewire hard drive. Prosoft Data Rescue will let you recover anything it may be able to see on the hard disk. If it can't, you'll have to consider taking the machine to a data recovery firm. The scratching may be the result of the head scratching the platter. In the future, it is always wise to backup your data. It is not a question of if hard drives will fail, but when, as my FAQ explains:

    Good luck!

    Two options for you. First just try holding down the power button and the home button simultaneously until something happens. If that doesn't work, then plug your iPhone into iTunes and see what it says.
