Apple is one of the world leaders in technology. Millions of people use Apple devices all over the world, as they are some of the best products available. However, even Apple isn’t without their faults. Some of the Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads have had a few problems, but none too serious that they are unfixable.
Some Apple users have recently reported having problems when trying to start up their device. They have said that when the iPad or iPhone is connected to a power source, the iOS device will not start up at all.
According to the users, when the device is plugged into a power outlet and they attempt to start it up, the Apple logo appears for a few seconds, then disappears, leaving a blank screen. The blank screen stays up for just a couple of seconds and then the Apple logo appears again flashing incessantly, but never actually starting up the device. It is just on an Apple logo loop.
If you are experiencing this rather annoying problem on your iPhone or iPad, we have listed some ways to try and fix the problem here:
1. The first thing to try is forcing your device to start up.
- Connect your device to the charger and leave it for at least 15 minutes.
- If you own an iPhone 7:
- Press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
- Ignore the ‘Slide to Power Off’ screen if you see it.
- If you own another Apple device (iPhone 6, iPad, etc.):
- Press and hold the power button and home button down at the same time.
- Ignore the ‘Slide to Power Off’ screen if you see it.
2. If the problem persists, follow these steps in order to fix it (you will need a computer with iTunes downloaded):
- Turn off your Apple iOS device.
- Connect your device to the computer using a USB cable.
- Next, open iTunes on your computer.
- If you have an iPhone 7:
- Press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time until you see a screen that says ‘Connect to iTunes’ or ‘Recovery Mode’.
- Press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time until you see a screen that says ‘Connect to iTunes’ or ‘Recovery Mode’.
- If you have a different Apple device (iPhone 6, iPad, etc.):
- Press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the ‘Recovery Mode’ screen.
- After you have done this you will see a message on iTunes saying that it has detected an iPhone or an iPad in recovery mode and you will see two options: Restore or Update.
- You will choose Update and your problem should be fixed.
3. Use Dr. Fone
Dr. fone is considered as one of the leading solutions to iOS problems. When you want to use it to fix the iPhone logo
Download Dr. Fone software on your PC.
Launch the software. From all tools, select the repair option.
Using a USB cable connects the computer and the iOS device. The device will automatically be detected.
Click on the “start” button. Dr. fone will automatically notify you with information on the correct firmware that your device needs. Make sure to select the option labeled download.
Once the firmware has been downloaded, Dr. Fone will initiate the repair process for your iOS device. Wait until the repair is complete.
4. Using ReiBoot
Tenorshare ReiBoot repairs your iOS device without losing any data. With this tool, you will not be needed to enter the recovery mode.
First, download ReiBoot and install it on your computer. Open the tool and connect your iOS device to the computer. When the tool detects your device, click on the “Repair Operating System” option.
Select the option labeled Start Repair, and a firmware download screen will appear. The program informs you about the newest firmware that your device needs.

Once the download process has been completed, select the “start repair” option. Make sure that you do not disconnect the device from the computer and wait for the process to complete. Once the process is completed successfully, you will be informed that your problem has been solved successfully with no loss of data.
5. Using the DFU Mode
You can use the DFU mode to recover your iPhone. First, use a USB cable to connect your iOS device with the PC. Press and then hold the sleep/wake and power button together for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep/wake button only when the screen becomes blank. Continue to hold the Home Button until the iTunes detects your device and confirms that it is in recovery mode. A completely black screen on your device verifies that the DFU mode was entered successfully. Select the restore or backup option.
6. Contact Apple support
If these methods do not solve your problem, you should get in touch with Apple support, and the problem will be fixed as fast as possible.

it works. great thanks.
How did u fix it
Thank you so much, I have now fixed the problem
I have an old iPhone 5 and the home button doesn’t work, is there any way to still fix this problem?
I literally have the same question. My home button doesn’t work either. If you ever figure it out, plz reply back 🙂 thx
Same what if my home button doesn’t work it has been showing the logo the turning off pls help I need it urgently it’s a iPhone 6 Plus if you have solutions about it pls tell us Tysm!
Have you tried the turn on button and volume down?
What if you don’t have an iTunes account?
Ive also got that problem Caitlyn…would you have needed to have signed in itunes first before you can update your phone via itunes?…cause now i am trying to sign in itunes but the verification code is sent to my iphone which cannot go on as it is still flashing lol
We have just done the latest update, and surprise, our ipad is now not working. We can’t get it past the flashing apple icon. Can’t use it, log into it, can’t reset it, can’t power down. I’ve tried the power and volume down buttons, also tried power and home button together and no luck. Is it true that Apple updates kill off older devices because they want you to buy new ones?
What happens if your home button is broken?
My iphone 5’s power button is broken. It flashes the logo when it is plugged in anywhere but the computer, to which it does not respond…Is this a lost battle?
I recently picked up an iPad 16GB used from a thrift store. Was sold “as is. Not charging. ”
So I hooked up my charger & got the flashing “Sleeping Beauty Apple” [makes sense to call it that doesn’t it? After all, beauty or not, it’s in a sleep it’s not awakening from w just a kiss.].
So I looked up online & did the Home/Power button routine & got the picture shown w the iTunes logo & the power cord underneath it. I released the buttons. Nada. That is, it’s just sitting on that. Didn’t get the “Update/Restore” choice screen. Am I supposed to keep pressing those 2 or is something more sinister going on? Someone said sometimes it’s a dead battery.
Did you read the rest of the article?
Once you get the Itunes logo with the charging cable…hook it up to a computer with itunes installed and either restore & update or try to just update the device.
same problem i got the itunes screen on my phone but i didn’t get any pop up message
Update on my recent post. After it sat for I don’t know, 5-10 mins it seemed, it went back to the flashing Sleeping Beauty Apple (SBA… hey, we can always use more acronyms, right? 😁).
So I tried holding the 2 keys longer… nada. I don’t know how long but I have a feeling it made mo difference.
I guess if it needs a battery & otherwise works fine then I guess $10 wasn’t too bad for taking a chance. Only time will tell. I’m going to probably drop it off w the guy who works on my iMac. But if’n any of youse guys has any other ideas I’m all antennae!

L8R. Have a blessed day.

When i plug my ipad to the laptop nothing happens but when i plug it to the wall, the apple logo shows up then goes away then the screen turns black but i can tell its on
Tried all of these… 5s still crashes and does the loop whenever it likes. Hardware problem or something like a virus?
I had the same issue. Connected it to laptop. Then pushed the power button down. Apple logo came and my ipad turned on.
i reach step at itune and got error 4013…
What happens if your apple icon just stays on
It showed the itunes screen on my phone but the message didn’t pop up on my laptop. What do i do??
I followed these steps without success then took the iPad Pro into the Apple store. It seems that on some occasions the device simply “stops taking charge”. There is nothing Apple would do and I am left with a device “behind economic repair.”
As I have had the device 18 months and Apple warranty is only 12 there is nothing Apple will do apart from suggest I buy another. Not happy after a £700 investment I would expect it to last more than 18 months.
Ugh none of these worked for me!!! I tried all of them persistently!!! but I guess I might just have to get a new phone. I wish that these tricks worked better.
Thanks my iPad would not turn completely on just the logo and the charging battery and then turn off… I usually charge it with my
Charging dock, but when I used apple accessories the big adapter and the apple charging cord it came
Straight on
For my iphone 6 I had to press the Vol down button with the home button. Itunes has now noticed my iphone and it’s updating the firmware. Thank you.
Actually, there is a method that can fix the problem without any data loss, which is to use a professional repair tool called Joyoshare UltFix. Why I suggest it is that I have used this tool to successfully solve the same problem on my iPad. If common methods fail to work, you might as well try it.
What would happen if you clicked “restore” instead of “update”?
it’ll update but you will lose data
I iTunes logo and s picture of the charging cord comes up with an arrow to the ITunes logo but the iTunes update screen does not come up on my laptop? what can I do?
right that is happening to me also, i updated it and its just be doing that ever since last night 🙁
Appreciate the recommendation. Will try it out.
