Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

    While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My ipod touch screen went white and when i plug it into my computer....nothing happens.  help!

    I went to turn on my iPod Touch one day and the screen went white.  Tried resetting and got nothing.  Tried plugging in to usb port and got nothing.  Neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my device.  What do I do now?

    By resetting did you see the apple logo? Try pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank (black) and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reset.

  • Ipod touch screen went white and wont turn on

    help!!
    the ipod touch went white on its screen and the laptop cannot recognise the ipod it says unknown device! now the ipod wont even switch on
    can any1 help me

    I am not sure if I know enough about iPod's to be able to help you completely but I can offer a few suggestions. First of all, you can try restarting your iPod (by holding the OFF button and the HOME button at the same time for a long period of time.) If that doesn't work then you could try connecting your iPod up to your computer and if it shows up on iTunes you can RESET your iPod. Hope that helped a little!

    My phone started vibrating mutiple times last night and the screen went black, and then it stopped and now I dont have a clue what to do.  How should I fix this problem because I cant turn it back on? I have only had my phone for 2 months.

    I also live an hr away from the Apple store, so its not the best thing to go there just to ask a question and find out what to do

  • My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

    Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
    I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
    one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
    I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
    So, my question is:
    What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
    Is it because I used it while charging?
    Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
    please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
    Thank you for answering..

    Hey BlueEyedDude,
    Thanks for the question. I’m sorry to hear about your iPod nano! If you believe you have isolated the issue completely to hardware, you can learn more about servicing your device at the following link:
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    If you’d like to attempt some more troubleshooting tips, see this link:
    iPod nano - 4th and 5th generation - Apple Support
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/4th_5th_generation/
    If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

    Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.
