Why did the icons on my ipod turn white?

Some of the icons on my ipod touch turned white after I updated to IOS 5.1

Hello Ingo2711,
I have seen this response of yours in multiple threads on this topic and I just wanted to let you know that this is not a fix for this problem.  It simply does not work.  A full restoration of the iPod works, however that is an unacceptable fix due to the loss of data this will cause with many apps, such as Awesome Files.  Restorations or setting up the device as new does not restore files contained in these types of Apps.  Removing each app one at a time just by unchecking them in iTunes, then resynching, then adding the app and synching again does fix the problem temporarily, but this work around also fails to replace files and data within the apps that you remove and add back.  I don't know why, but it appears to me that any apps which are listed in iTunes under File Sharing, will lose all of the data if you ever remove them in any way.
I am seriously tired of this problem and will continue to scoure the internet for a solution.  I think this is going to actually require a patch to the iOS.

  • Why did the icons under my 'Layer' tab change appearance?

    The above image shows a layer of curves with a masks.
    Why did the mask change its appearance? Normally it's a blank square.
    Even the links have changed (I believe they were thinner previously).
    I might've pressed something and I don't know how to go back. I haven't
    updated anything yet, so it shouldn't be because it's a newer version of
    Photoshop.

    Here's how it looks. I'll try adjusting something...but I never touched any
    of the settings

  • Why does the screen of my ipod go white?

    I use my ipod mainly at the gym and on the track. I always use the lock at the top of the ipod when I'm working out or running. Here is the problem. After a short time of listening to music my ipod's screen turns white and I can't see how to navigate through my songs. The only way to fix it to find another song is to turn off the power and then back on. Like a reboot of the system. Has anyone seen this? And what did you do with it?

    Whew!  I tried this, and it seemed to work for a few minutes.  Unfortunately, when the IPad came back on, I had to put in Apple ID and password again, and it rejected mine, which I wrote down.  I contacted my husband in Spain to see if he knew what my password etc. was, since he syncs it with his IMac....  Needless to say, I have been unable to get ICloud or anything requiring a password.  Finally was able to change both the ID and password.  But because of that I couldn't respond to you.  Thanks so much for your help.  I does make sense to clean up cookies, etc. once in a while.
    I think I will have to break down and use the App.  I just like having easy access thru Safari, and not having to shut down screens and reopen when I am on Facebook, Ebay or Hotmail.  sounds like the App will not have this problem. But thanks again.

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

    First is your volume turned up and not muted?
    Also check system preferences/sound/sound effects, make sure play sound effects thru internal speakers is checked, make sure alert volume is turned up (not all the way down), Play user sound effects id checked.

  • HT201210 when i did the new update my ipod does not work the screen is now white

    when i did the new update my ipod will not turn on the screen gets lines then turns white or blue or green with lines what do i do to fix it???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Why did the videos get taken from festival?

    Ten days and still no reply. Thanks, Apple. It's companies like you and EA that make me think you guys are only in it for the money. I payed $2.99 for this dn app and no refund. But it doesn't matter anymore because I jailbroke my iPod and got the app back. Looks like you lost a customer.

  • Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between?

    I have a PC that is connected to a switch (A) in a network. Switch A has many switches in between and connects to another switch B. When I did a trace to the server, the last switch I see in the result is switch B. Also, when I checked to which port of switch B that the server was connected, It showed as Po1. When I did a show cdp neighbor for the interfaces for the interfaces involved inthe bundle, I get a switch and then another. Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between? Why did I get an arp on Switch B? Could some one explain?

    It's hard to tell, but if you have L2 switches, the addresses on those L2 switches are for management purposes only and you won't see a response from a trace. The only time you'll see a response is when the packet is routed between devices and not switched. You'll get an arp request/response across a single vlan. If you have vlan 10 across 10 switches, all 10 switches will see an arp request because they're broadcasted throughout the whole vlan.
    HTH,

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • TS1702 Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

    Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

    Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
    You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

    Text, the best way is to take screen shots, or if you can forward them to your email. Your notes are either saved by your email or with icoud. They can help you find out where they are saved at.
    The resest is easy. I would say it best to also save your photos on your computer as well as a extra back up so you can also see them. Depending if you have Mac use Iphoto and import all photos, Windows use I am drawing a blank, but you can go to your start menue and then your phone will show up as a removable device and then left click and transfer photos and videos.
    After that you will be set. But it will take a bit to get all of your text taken care of thought.
    Also if you have non-programed email address like Roadrunner ect. You will need the incomming and out going server information SMTP ect.
