Blank white display. I've tried resetting and restoring...

My 4th generation iPod Nano shows a blank white display all the time. It still plays music, but the screen doesn't change. Even when I reset my iPod, instead of the Apple logo, I just get the blank display. Buying a new iPod is kind of out of the question, is there a way that I can fix this?

If you drop your iPod and it keeps sizling sound trough it as far as possible, because it will explode. Apple has tried to cover the thing that 4th generation iPods have overheating problem and if you dont believe me check this http://www.osnews.com/story/21937. Im very disapointed to Apple at the moment...

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- 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 nano has boxes around its icons and I can't slide to the left or right. I've tried resetting and restoring it but nothing seems to work. What do I do?

My nano has boxes around its icons, even the around the time. When I tap into my Songs or Now Playing, I can't get out because I can't slide either to the left or to the right. It appeared after I transferred some songs from my iPod to iTunes. I've tried resetting and restoring it but nothing seems to work. HELP.

And the voice over's activated and it tells me to double tap things to select them.

Received 100+ photos in a message and now messages will not load, I get a blank white screen and it crashes. Have tried resetting and restoring. HELP.

Title. Do I need to take this in to apple?

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

IPhone 5s restored from 4s all but my photos and won't finish. Have tried reset and restore several times but always the same thing. Pat bottom of screen it shows downloading but no pictures transfer.

Have tried 4 times to reset, erase and restore but always the same result. Everything restores except my photos. When I go to photos at the bottom of the screen it says downloading but the pictures never transfer. Every time I turn my phone on it asks to continue restore but it never finishes. It won't let me upgrade to the latest iOS due to incomplete restoration.

How long has it been since you let the restore just happen? Sometimes photos are what takes the longest to bring back from an iCloud back up. I would recommend that you let it just keep restoring for about 2-3 days and see if more photos come back than what you're experiencing. Also make sure that you are connected to wifi as much as possible so that those photos can be downloaded faster. It is a waiting and being patient kind of thing. I did an iCloud restore from a backup that took 4 days to finish bringing down all my photos.

My phone has frozen on a zoom position I have tried resetting and restoring the phone will restore but by putting my back up files on goes back to zoom on the screen

My phone has stuck on a zoom position meaning I cannot use any of the functions. I have tried resetting but the problem reoccurs. I tried restore but although it would go back to normal as soon as I put on the back up files it goes back to the problem.
How can I get into the settings?

Double Tap the Screen with 3 Fingers...
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

My sister has changed a setting on her ipod that makes it speak. I got past the password screen once but could not scroll to accessibility. Now i cannot get past the password screen. I have tried resetting and restoring but neither is working.

How do i turn the voice off??
A little padlock with a circle around it has also appeared next to the battery symbol

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and then go to he Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes. Click on Configure Universal Access and turn Voice Over Off.
The padlock is that the screen rotation lock is one. To turn off, doble clcik the HOme button and go all the way to the left on the Dock row past the music controls and tap on the padlock in the circle arrow.

My 3gs is frozen on the Apple boot screen with a spinning wheel despite resets and restores as advised everywhere I look? Any other tips?

I'm sure this is probably covered in here somewhere but I can't find it, after an hour of searching I have already done everything I see suggested!
I'm stuck on the Apple booting screen on my 3gs with the spinning wheel, I've tried resetting and restored to earlier versions and to blank but everything ends the same.
Please help me!

Well if you are mechanically inclined you can try removing the battery and then reinserting it. There are a couple of good videos on youtube--milliamp has one---. You will need a .00 phillips screwdriver and a tool to remove the cables. I just replaced my batter and I can say that the difficulty level is about a 5 out of 10.

Just bought my white iphone4 and after syncing with my computer the speaker doesn't work now. I tried reset and even restore and still does not work. Do I have to exchange?

Just bought my white iphone4 and after syncing with my computer the speaker doesn't work now. I tried reset and even restore and still does not work. Do I have to exchange?

Make sure the silent switch is not set to mute. If you can see the red dot, it is on mute.
It may think you have headphones plugged in, try plugging and unplugging a wired headset a few time.
The next step would be to restore as new.
If none of that works, a warranty exchange would be the resolution.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
