When my ipod touch (3rd gen) displays an white image, a whiter spot appears on the screen?

It only appears when displaying light images, and i have only just noticed it a few days ago. My ipod touch is running iOS5.0.1
If you have had this problem, please tell me how you fixed it.
It's not a dead pixel, it's just a small circle of pixels that seem to be a noticably different shade of white than the others.
My ipod is under 2 years old now, so the warranty is void.

You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factry defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem then repair/replacement is required if you do not want to live with it.

What does it mean when my Ipod Touch (3rd gen.) screen is black with a loading circle?

My 3rd generation Ipod Touch is currently broken, I'm not sure. The screen is black with a loading circle that has been loading since yesterday. The device won't shut off nor has it run out of battery yet. Any clues?

have u tried restarting it yet? hold both home and power button for at least ten seconds... or it could be just in the process of shutting down (not going to sleep mode but actually turning off) and is taking a while to process everything???

IPod Touch 3rd gen reboots: panic CRC ERR

My 14 year old daughter had an iPod Touch 3rd gen that, with less than a month to go on the warranty, the touchscreen stopped working. Took it in to the Apple store, where they tried to see if they could resuscitate it by upgrading iOS, reseting to factory defaults, and a couple other magic clicks they tried. All to no avail. They checked the liquid damage indicator, found no damage, and then agreed to replace the device. I walked out with a new (?) device and was happy.
A couple months later I overheard my daughter asking if she could have her mom's Touch. I asked why she wasn't using her Touch, and she told me that it has rebooted randomly since we got the replacement. Of course, I was incensed that she didn't say something sooner - like, before the warranty ran out. Knowing that the warrany had expired, I started to research the problem on Apple's forums and the Internet.
Most of the information I found seemed to indicate that certain versions of iOS seemed to incite these kinds of problems. So I went through several exercises to try upgrading, downgrading, restoring the device, DFU mode, etc. Still, the problems continued. I upgraded the device over the weeks and months, hoping to find the magic version that would stop this. I tried removing apps, not installing any apps at all, putting music on slowly instead of syncing large amounts of data, etc.
A day or two ago I installed iOS 5. It seemed like it was going to work fine, but still periodically it would crash - including during the upgrade process itself, during the restore after the upgrade, when running large apps, when running small apps, and even when not doing anything at all. In fact the reboots complicated the process such that I could no longer sync without an error, so I had to reinstall the OS again earlier today. I was at dinner tonight and looked over when something caught the corner of my eye - it had gone to the Apple boot screen all by itself, when it was simply sitting there not being used.
I found General -> About -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data, and see eight files:
(4) files called 2011-10-15-xxxxxx.panic.plist (I assume xxxxxx is a time of day, since the latest one is from dinnertime)
(4) files called ResetCounter-2011-10-15-xxx (rest of file name is cut off, xxx is first three digits of above xxxxxx)
I opened them and they all look relatively similar (latest one shown):
panic.plist:

Now I'm no Apple genius, but CRC ERR to me means a memory problem (cyclic redundancy check, stored checksum of memory contents does not match calculated checksum of same). The fact that there is a file for each crash since I reinstalled iOS indicates to me that this device is panicking because of a memory problem.
I am generally happy with the Apple i* line - our family has an iPad, an iPad 2, an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4, 3 iPod 3rd Gens, and our daughter is on track to get an iPhone 4 for her birthday next month. What concerns me is that they have given me a refurbished device with a problem, and I am powerless to do anything about it? The flat rate repair cost for the device is $149, but I feel that they gave me a device that wasn't working to begin with.
Any advice on how to deal with Apple in a case like this? The device is, of course, not covered by warranty, and they want an unspecified amount of money for a single telephone incident, wherein I believe they will simply tell me/confirm that I have a hardware issue. I would like them to look in their records and see what the problem was with the original device they refurbished, because I suspect that they didn't find fault and simply repackaged it.
I am prepared to talk to them - I think I will go to the store, though, because there are scant few appointments available for someone to call me in the next week. I am even prepared to pay the money, if I thought I had a decent chance of getting some satisfaction in this. But after reading some other customers' experiences with AppleCare, I tend to believe that the tier-1 support people won't satisfy.
The device was easily $250 when I first bought it for her, and I feel somewhat cheated if they simply repackaged dead hardware. But it's my word against theirs at this point.
Again, simply looking for advice on how I might bring this to the attention of people who care and aren't just reading from a troubleshooting flowchart.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions, including if anyone knows of a resolution that I haven't tried?

My problem is exactly the same, and I have not found a solution. I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch with 32 GB, recently upgraded to iOS 5. My iPod reboots randomly, regardless of what it's being used for, and sometimes even when it's not being used. My "crash reports" in Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data directory are very similar:

Sync failed to start w/ iTunes 10.7, iPod Touch 3rd gen

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7x64, I have had trouble getting my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 5.1.1) to sync. I am getting the message "sync failed to start". This happens with either WiFi or USB connection to the device. I know the iPod WiFi is working because the Remote app shows my iTunes library, fetches email, etc.
After installing iTunes 10.7, when I connected via USB, Windows tried to search for and install new drivers. After a very long delay, I canceled the search and continued using the existing drivers. I'm not sure if this is related.

I have resolved the problem by 'shutting down' my MacBook ('restarting' the computer was not sufficient to resolve it). While I was at it, I took the battery out briefly before rebooting – don't know if this made the difference, but I do know that Apple Tech Support have instructed me to remove the battery momentarily on previous occasions when resolving other issues with the computer. Anyway, either just shutting down (or shutting down + removing the battery) seems to have resolved the problem, as iTunes is once again recognising my iPod Touch and I'm able to sync again. Phew!

The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.

Can't Install Apps on Ipod Touch 3rd Gen

Receantly, I have not been able to install any apps on my Ipod touch 3rd gen. I put in my ID and password and the app shows downloding and then just disappears. I've checked restrictions and also reset and backed up the Ipod. I've tried several other solutions provided by the Apple Support Com., but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
