TS3274 Does the apple logo turn on and off constantly while updating software or have i broken it?
I am new to ipad and didnt expect the screen to flash on and off after clicking on an update. Is this what is supposed to happen or has something gone wrong?
I remember some people posting that the update to iOS 5 took up to 8 hours or more to download and install. What must be taken into account here is the fact that these people were all trying to download and install the update the very afternoon and/or evening that the update was released. I updated that night and it took me about 1-1/2 hours to update, install, restore from the backup and sync all of my content back to my iPad - the entire process start to finish.
I felt like one of the very lucky ones after reading some of the horror stories about the updates that day/evening. Obviously the servers were overloaded, but still 8 hours or more is incredible.

when i plug in my ipod touch (8gb, 3rd generation) it doesn't turn on and the apple logo flashes on and off. before this it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in.
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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone 5 does not turn on anymore. when i plug the charger in the apple icon turns on and off but the home screen never shows up.what do i do to fix it? how can i get my info back?
from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

Apple Logo turning on and off on screen!!
My screen keeps having a apple logo turning on and off..
My screen is firstly 'non-lit' then 'lit' in bout 10secs.
Is this what u call a backlight?!
If so, how can u turn it off?
I cnt even acess any files.. or listen to music.
I tried resetting my ipod over and over again.. But it did not respond.
I just had my ipod for less than a day.. How unlucky!Like the other two individual's i too am having this same issue. The only difference is now this is the second faulty iPod Nano i have recieved. I am able to press the select and play button for 6 seconds and force it into disk mode, but if i return to regular status, the nano returns to the same state of blinking.
I've been through the steops of reseting and even restoring to factory, I can see the ipod on my desktop as well as in itunes but once i eject the nano, the screen either stay blank, or goes back to to blinking. How do i get my nano to be like a normal one like everyone else has, without anymore issues, bad enough having issues with apple care to transfer my apple care for the nano to this new one from the old faulty one i had. -
Trying to charge my iphone but the apple logo goes ond and off
I am trying to charge my phone, and when I plug it to the mains or my pc wont charge, the apple logo comes one for seconds and goes off, the phone just got a new battery, what can I do?
It needs to be dried out. Stop using it.. don't turn it on. Put it in a zip lock bag with some rice or one of those packets of dessicant for a day or two. That might do it.

My iphone went dead and now has the apple logo blinking on and off

Morning blgarratt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If it is showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:

Hope this helps,

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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. -
My iPod Touch shows the Apple logo splash screen and then turns off.
When I turn my iPod Touch on, the Apple logo is shown and then it turns off. After a few seconds, it shows up again. It continues to do this non-stop. Is there anything I can do? Any help would be greatly Appriciated
Let the battery fully drain. It may take awhile. After charging for at least an hour. If the iPod does not cycle on and off any more try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Otherwise it appears you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
my iphone wont turn on but when i plug it in to charge the apple logo comes on and turns back off after a few seconds i dont know what to do i need help
Hello warhogs17,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. Then comes back on and just sits.I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.
Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen. It will not let me sign on or power off. It started about 20 mins ago. One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time. How can I fix this?
Hi Bucky16,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

I was trying to update my Ipad to IOS 8, the screen is all black with the apple logo on it and the progress bar is stuck.

Turn your iPad off.
Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.
