My iPod touch screen is white but resetting it doesn't work. What do I do?

I turned on my iPod touch and the screen was white with blue pixelations. I tried holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds to reset it but it just went black and then restarted with a white screen again. I don't know if it's something I can fix by restoring it on iTunes or if I have to send it in to get it repaired. Any suggestions?

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen white's home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.

    My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.  This is very annoying.  Why is it doing this?

    - Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

    I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone. 
    This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?).  I said yes.  Now I can't use my phone.  I've tried hitting the power and other buttons.  I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?  This *****!  I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible.  Help!

    I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today.  The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far!  I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation.  But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
    I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts.  I think it will.  Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead.  Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
    If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
    If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
    I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge.  So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!

    I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • 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 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.

    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 iPod Touch 3rd Gen died this morning and doesn't work but comes up on iTunes on my Mac. Why is it doing this?

    Ok so I was using my iPod touch this morning and listenig to music on the dock and I took it off and now the iPod does'nt turn on and when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro it comes up and im not sure whats wrong with it.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    You may have to try this several times...
