## Why Is My iPhone Stuck on the Apple Logo Screen?

When your iPhone displays a white Apple logo on a black background or a black Apple logo on a white background, it means your iPhone is starting up. Usually, you can access your iPhone normally after a few seconds. However, if your iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo for a long time, it must be something wrong with your system or hardware.

There are many reasons why your iPhone gets stuck on the Apple logo. The following are the main ones:

* iOS system problem: update failed or system error.
* Corrupted files were restored or transferred using Finder or iTunes.
* Incorrect jailbreak process.
* Downloaded apps and software are not compatible with your iOS.
* Your iPhone is running out of memory (this is less common).
* Hardware issues with your iPhone (For example, your iPhone has been dropped or water damaged.)

## How to Fix "iPhone Stuck on the Apple Logo" Issue

Now that you know why your iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo screen, let's see how to unlock the screen.

### Method 1. Force Restart Your iPhone

Force restarting your iPhone might help you fix the problem. Here's how:

* iPhone 8 or later models (including iPhone 14): Press and quickly release the **Volume Up** button, then press and quickly release the **Volume Down** button. Then press and hold the **Side** button until the Apple logo appears.
* iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the **Side/Top** button and the **Volume Down** button until the Apple logo appears.
* iPhone 6s Plus or earlier models: Press and hold the **Side/Top** button and the **Home** button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.

### Method 2. Update/Restore Your iPhone via Finder or iTunes

A forced restart might not solve your problem. In this case, use Finder or iTunes to repair your iPhone in recovery mode.

It's worth noting that restoring your iPhone will lose all content and settings on your iPhone. However, if you previously backed up your iPhone, you can restore files from your backup.

Her's how to fix your iPhone in recovery mode:

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC via a USB cable.
2. If you're using macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, open Finder. If you're using macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier, open iTunes. If you are using Windows, install and open the latest iTunes.
3. Put your iPhone into recovery mode.
      * iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the **Volume Up** button. Press and quickly release the **Volume Down** button. Then, press and hold the **Side** button until you see the recovery mode screen.
      * iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the **Top/Side** and **Volume Down** buttons simultaneously. Keep holding them down until you see the recovery mode screen.
      * iPhone 6s or earlier: Press and hold the **Home** and **Top/Side** buttons simultaneously until you see the recovery mode screen.

   ![Restore iPhone in Recovery Mode](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/restore_iphone_in_recovery_mode_eea05d2a15.png)   

:note[If you have an iPhone backup, you can restore your data after the restore is complete.]{notetype=Tip}


### Method 3. Restore Your iPhone in DFU Mode

Recovery Mode can fix most problems with your iPhone. [DFU mode](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/iphone-dfu-mode) can help if you can't put your iPhone into recovery mode.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC via USB cable.

3. Put your iPhone into DFU mode.

    * iPhone 8 or later: 
        Press and quickly release the **Volume Up** button.
        Press and quickly release the **Volume Down** button.
        Press and hold the **Side** button. When your screen goes black, press and hold the **Volume Down** button.

    * iPhone 7 or 7 Plus: 
        Press and hold the **Side** button and the **Volume Down** button at the same time
        8 seconds later, release the **Side** button while continuing to press and hold the **Volume Down** button until Finder or iTunes detects that your iPhone is in DFU mode.

        Press and hold the **Home** button and the **Side** button at the same time. 
        When your screen goes black, release the **Side** button while continuing to press and hold the **Home** button until Finder or iTunes detects that your iPhone is in DFU mode.
        
        ![Recovery Mode vs DFU Mode](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/recovery_mode_vs_dfu_mode_a2b4882336.png?width=500)

![Put iPhone Into DFU Mode on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/put_iphone_into_dfu_mode_finder_59c7e7709c.png)


### Method 4. Repair Your iPhone with a Third-Party Tool

If you find the above methods difficult, then you can try a third-party repair tool. The best part about the third-party tool is that it can fix a lot of iOS issues like iPhone stuck on the Apple logo, iPhone reboot loop, iPhone won't shut down, etc. Also, you don't need to know much about iOS, all you need to do is connect your iPhone with the repair tool and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed to the next step. That's it.

### Method 5. Repair Your iPhone at an Apple Store

As we mentioned earlier, iPhone hardware issues can also make your iPhone stuck on the Apple logo. If none of the above methods work for you, you can have your iPhone repaired at an nearby Apple Store.

:p[The Bottom Line]{.h2}

When you read this, you already have a better understanding of iPhone stuck on the Apple logo isssue. Hopefully, one of these methods solves your problem.

## What Is DFU Mode?

DFU is an acronym for Development Firmware Upgrade. DFU mode is another mode on iOS that allows you to force upgrade and downgrade iOS firmware. It is also known as developer mode for iOS. As the name suggests, DFU mode is more suitable for developers. If you are new to iOS, use this mode with caution.

### DFU Mode vs Recovery Mode

The biggest difference between DFU mode and Recovery mode is whether iBoot (bootloader) is loaded, which is a remote power controller that allows you to control, reboot, and cycle power to any connected device from a distance. In Recovery mode, Finder or iTunes will load iBoot to restore and upgrade your firmware, while in DFU mode, Finder or iTunes will bypass iBoot, so you can use this mode to jailbreak and downgrade your iOS.


![recovery-mode-vs-dfu-mode.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/recovery_mode_vs_dfu_mode_a2b4882336.png?width=500)

### When To Put iPhone in DFU Mode

DFU is not commonly used as the Recovery mode, because most of the problems of iOS can be solved in Recovery mode. Here are some situations when you should put your iPhone in DFU mode:


* To fix issues that can not be fixed in Recovery mode.
* To downgrade your iOS.
* To jailbreak or unjailbreak your iPhone.


## How to Put Your iPhone Into DFU Mode

Now that you know when you should put your iPhone in DFU mode, let's see how.

### How to Put iPhone 8 and Later into DFU Mode

1. Connect your iPhone to iTunes or Finder.

## Preparation Before Downgrading Your iOS


Since unexpected things can happen during an iOS downgrade, the first thing you need to do is [back up your iPhone](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/backup-iphone-to-mac). You can easily do it using iCloud, Finder, or iTunes.

In addition to creating a backup of your iPhone, you need to do the following:

* Make sure your iPhone is well connected to your PC or Mac.
* Your network is stable.
* You have [turned off Find My iPhone](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/turn-off-find-my-iphone-ipad-mac) on your iPhone.
* Your Windows PC has the latest iTunes installed.
* You have downloaded an old IPSW file for your iPhone.


:::note{notetype=Tips}


1. Apple does not provide an option to download iOS firmware, but you can download it from third-party sites like :a[ipsw.me]{href=https://ipsw.me/ rel=nofollow}. All you need to do is select your iPhone model and then choose the signed firmware file you need.
 2. Normally, Apple stops signing the old iOS firmware files within two weeks after the release of the new iOS. That said, you may not have an available iOS firmware to download.

:::



## How to Downgrade iOS Using Finder or iTunes

The official way to downgrade your iPhone is to use Finder or iTunes. While Apple doesn't allow you to download iOS firmware directly, you don't have to worry about tampering with IPSW files downloaded from third-party sites, as Finder and iTunes will verify the signature and integrity of the firmware you download before performing the firmware downgrade.


Now that you have downloaded the available iOS firmware, let's see how to downgrade your iPhone.

1. Connect your iPhone to a computer via a USB cable.
2. Open iTunes on Windows or Finder on Mac.
3. If you haven't backed up your iPhone, use Finder or iTunes to do so.
4. If you're using Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking Restore iPhone. If you're using iTunes, hold down the Shift key.
   ![Downgrade iOS with Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/downgrade_ios_finder_18a153f697.png)
5. Select the iOS firmware file you downloaded, and click Restore to confirm.
   ![Select a Firmware to Restore](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/selet_a_firmware_to_restore_776b354105.png)
6. After the restore process is complete, set up and restore your iPhone.

## How to Downgrade iOS Using DFU Mode

DFU mode is a more advanced mode than recovery mode. It can be used to downgrade your iOS. If the above method cannot help you restore iOS successfully, follow the steps below to do it in DFU mode.

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC.
3. Open Finder on your Mac or iTunes on your PC.
4. Put your iPhone into DFU mode. If you successfully enter DFU mode, your iPhone will be on a black screen, and a window will pop up in Finder or iTunes saying it detected your iPhone in DFU mode.
   ![Downgrade iOS in DFU Mode](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/downgrade_ios_in_dfu_mode_82636adef4.png)

6. Select the old iOS firmware you downloaded and click Open > Restore.
7. Wait for the restore process to complete, then reset your iPhone.

:note[You can also put your iPhone into recovery mode and follow steps 5-7 to downgrade your iOS. But the downgrade in DFU mode is cleaner.]{notetype=Tip}

## How to Downgrade iOS Using a Downgrade Tool

Another way to downgrade iOS is to use an iOS downgrade tool. The best part about using a downgrade tool is that you don't need to go to a third-party website to download the iOS firmware you want manually, it will automatically match you with the old version of iOS that you can install.

You just need to choose an iOS downgrade tool you like, install and open it, follow the on-screen guides to connect your device, and proceed to the next step to complete the downgrade steps.

:a[Apps Crashing on macOS Ventura? Here's the Fix]{href='https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/fix-crashing-apps-macos'}

:::

Have you ever encountered the problem that your Mac cannot connect to Wi-Fi, especially after upgrading to the latest macOS Ventura? Failure to connect to Wi-Fi means that you cannot access the Internet, which brings great inconvenience to our work and life. If you are facing such a problem, then don't miss this blog post. In this article, you will learn why your Mac can’t connect to Wi-Fi and how to solve the problem in 10 ways.

## Why Won't My Mac Connect to Wi-Fi?

There's a couple of reasons why your Mac won't connect to Wi-Fi. Here are the most common ones:

- Your Mac is not in the signal range.
- The router is defective.
- Problems with the broadband.
- Problems with the Wi-Fi network.
- Too old macOS versions.

## How to Fix "Mac Not Connecting to Wi-Fi" Issue

Here are some basic methods you can try when your Mac fails to connect to Wi-Fi.

- Make sure your Mac is within the signal range.
- Check whether the network cable is properly connected.
- Turn off and turn on Wi-Fi to restart it.
- Restart your Mac.
- Reboot the router.
- Contact the broadband provider.

If your Mac still can't connect to Wi-Fi, then move to the following advanced methods.

### Delete Your Registered Network

This method requires you to delete your network first and then re-enter your network password to connect.

1. Click the Apple Menu > System Settings > Network. 
2. Click Wi-Fi, then navigate to the Known Networks panel.
3. Select the network you want to delete, click the 3-dot menu next to it and select Forget This Network.
   ![Remove Registered Network](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/remove_registered_network_aaf51784d0.png?width=700)
4. Click the Wi-Fi icon in the status menu, find your network name, and then enter your Account Name and Password to reconnect to the network.

### Unplug External USB Devices

On some older MacBooks, the USB and Wi-Fi modules are close together. When your computer is plugged into a USB or other external device, it may interfere with the Wi-Fi module's signal, causing the Wi-Fi connection to fail. All you need to do is unplug the external devices.

### Update macOS

An old macOS may cause your Mac to fail to connect to Wi-Fi or have an unstable Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't updated your operating system for a long time, you may need to do so. (Please don't forget to [back up](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/back-up-mac) your system before updating it.)

![Update macOS](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/update_macos_81647f8daa.png?width=700)

### Update DHCP Lease

If you have a fixed IP address, you can try to manually update the DHCP lease to solve the problem of the Wi-Fi connection.

1. Choose Apple Menu > System Settings > Network. 
2. Click a network service on the right, click Details, then click TCP/IP.
3. Click Renew DHCP Lease.

![How to Renew DHCP Lease](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/renew_dhcp_lease_c02949a46d.png?width=700)

### Change DNS Settings

Normally, DNS addresses are obtained automatically. If your current DNS is not working properly, you can try using a free public DNS. Google has a free DNS. You can have a try.

1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings.
2. Click Network in the sidebar, then click Network Services on the right.
3. Click Details and scroll down to find DNS.
4. Click DNS, then click the plus (+) button and add Google's DNS address: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
   ![How to Change DNS Settings](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/change_dns_settings_6df44b1d5f.png?width=700)
4. Click the OK button and reconnect to the network.

The DNS cache stores as many DNS lookups as possible so that you can perform DNS lookups again. When you need to resolve network problems caused by DNS cache, you can clean the DNS cache. With [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/), you can clean up your DNS cache with one click.

<group><linkbutton href='/buhocleaner/download' prefix='download'>Free Download</linkbutton></group>

1. Download and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.
2. Launch BuhoCleaner,  select Toolkit, and click the Start button to flush DNS cache quickly.
    ![How to Flush DNS Cache with BuhoCleaner on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_dns_caches_854be442c3.png)

### Delete Files from System Configuration

Delete all the files in the System Configuration folder except for com.apple.Boot.plist.

1. Open Finder from the Dock.
2. Press Shift + Command + G, and then type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration in the blank box and press the Return button on the keyboard.
3. Keep the file named com.apple.Boot.plist and delete all other files in it.
    ![Delete System Configuration Files](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/delete_system_configuration_files_197a5770bc.png)

### Remove Unnecessary System Extensions

We've found that some system extensions may also prevent your Mac from connecting to Wi-Fi, especially anti-virus extensions. If your [System Integrity Protection](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection) (SIP) is on, the extensions of antivirus software will remain on your Mac after you uninstall them. To remove these extensions, you should turn off the SIP (which will not affect your Mac) first. Here are the detailed steps:

1.  While booting Mac, press and hold Command + R until the Apple logo appears. 
2. Click the Utility at the top left of your Mac screen and select Terminal.
3. Execute the command: `csrutil status`, and you will see Enable. Continue to run the command: `csrutil disable`.
4. Restart your Mac, and the SIP will be closed. 
5. Open the Terminal via Spotlight or Launchpad. 
6. Execute the command: `csrutil disable` again and you will see that the status has changed to disable. Continue to run: `systemextensionsctl list`, you will see the list of extensions installed on your system, and the Team ID and Bundle ID of each extension. 
7. Continue to run the command: `systemextensionsctl uninstall <team id> <bundle id>` in Terminal to remove the extension you don't want. You will be asked to enter your administrator password.

e.g. `systemextensionsctl uninstall ABCDEFGHIJ com.some.unwanted.extension`

8. To delete more extensions, repeat the step 7.
9. Restart your Mac and see if your Mac can connect to Wi-Fi.

:note[It is recommended that you complete the above steps and repeat steps 1-4 to enable the SIP. Don't forget to change the command to `csrutil enable`.]{notetype=Note}

:p[Conclusion]{.h2}

Now you have learned several ways to solve the problem that Mac cannot connect to Wi-Fi. Hope you can access Wi-Fi by trying one or more of these methods. If your Mac still cannot connect to Wi-Fi through these methods, there may be a problem with your Mac hardware, and you may need to seek help from a repairer.
