Blank/White iPod Nano Screen (4th Gen)

Was working absolutely fine one minute then the screen went white and has been that way for a few hours now. I've tried resetting and restoring and all I get is a beeping sound. iTunes recognizes when it's connected and now whenever I press any of the buttons it makes a clicking sound but all I see is a white screen. Please help!

I have the same problem, I think. My 8GB nano video (wide, square one) randomly goes to a blank white screen, but it will come back to normal just as randomly. It is going blank more and more often, so im concerned. I dont know if any one act is causing it, it seems fairly random. The music will still play and pause, next, and previous work fine, but the volume isnt always responsive (especially lately) and blindly trying to work through menus doesnt work at all (center button/menu not working?). When i restart it, it goes to a gray screen but the apple logo doesnt show, then it goes back to white. Its fairly old, and ive definitely dropped it hard a time or two, but nothing lately - and no water. I figure the screens just crapping out or something? its working in itunes too, but doesnt change the screen back.

Ipod Nano 8GB 4th Gen stuck in a restore loop

Screen is black - reset sequence has no effect. Itunes initiates a restore sequence, The nano Beeps 4 time , and loops in restore sequence.
No network drives on the PC ( windows vista 64Bits). Itunes got updated 2 days before this happened.
I have A Shuffle that work fine using same computer and usb ports.
Daugther says nano it was dropped on the floor. Worked a month.... I`m out of ideas- anyone has a suggestion ? Thanks

Brought the brick to the Genius bar to be told I had 2 options:
1) - Get it evaluated by one of the tech. They will tell me how much it will cost to get it 'fixed' I.E. the will replace it by a factory refurbished one.
2) by a new one with a 10% discount if I bring back the broken one.
Will get it evaluated and will post the cost estimate...

As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

IPod Nano Screen dying

So, I think my iPod Nano is 2nd gen. I don't know which gen is which, but mine looks like the original nano except with the thicker glass after people cracked them in half by accident. I just noticed today that my screen is dying. About half the screen doesn't have colour anymore, and is instead kind of off-blue-ish, like the ink kind of ran up there. It's hard to describe. Before I consider going out to buy a new iPod (the extended warranty on this one has been expired for about 5 months), I want to make sure it's a hardware issue and it can't be resolved except by a hardware solution.
The reason I'm wondering is cause this happened all at once, no gradual line-by-line degeneration or anything, and I haven't knocked it against anything particularly dangerous (heck, I've barely used the thing for about 2 weeks, and it was fine a couple days ago when I used it). Also, when an LCD breaks, it usually spills ink all over the screen, which didn't happen to mine. It's almost completely blanked out.
Thanks.

I have a 2nd generation iPod nano; the screen on it is not displaying anymore. I'm wondering if it even could have been messed up by staying in my iPod stereo system for quite some time. I now have an iPod Touch as my primary MP3 player, but still want the older iPod nano to work properly as an extra iPod.

Huge Ipod nano screen problem

I have a big problem with the iPod Nano screen. It just doesn't work. I have tried reseting the ipod, restoring it but it just doesn't work.
It is not a screen problem because when I plug it on to the PC the screen lightens up with just white on it.
I could listen to the song by "blindly" selecting Shuffle. But now I can't even do that.
I would REAALY appreaciate any help.

If you can get one sent or brought down to you, you can replace it yourself It is not that hard to do, or I am sure you can find someone to do it for you. I live in Mexico and it is hard to get parts to us, there is also no repair place close, but we have people come from the states every once and awhile and they bring us parts so we can repair our own. Go on ebay and you will find screens for under 15 dollars U.S. and it comes with the tools that you will need to open your nano. Hope this helps.

Just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. The IOS is currently 4.3.5 and when I try to update to the latest, the connection continually times out. Can you help?

Hi All,
First ever post on here but I feel that my options are slowly running out. I've just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. It was reset to factory settings meaning that that software was 4.3.5
As soon as I plug it into iTunes it asks me to update to the latest version. I click for it to go ahead but the connection times out (error code 3259)
I've been on the phone to apple for over an hour and we still couldn't resolve the issue. We tried disabling the firewall, uninstalling AVG, diabling pop up blockers, checking the LAN settings, disabling the router security and anything else we could think of.
We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Ipod nano screen

Can anyone please tell me - ( I have spent many hours on the apple website looking for contact details of a real person; but no good )- what to do with my IPod Nano screen that does not work. It is not cracked but is very bright, unreadable and seems to have gibberish on it.
I have tried the RESET trick but can see nothing on the screen.
I live near DUBAI and nobody will talk to me about the problem. I won the thing in a competition last December and it only worked for a few weeks.
Please help me Obeonekinobe, you're my only hope.

I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen. I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself. Am I correct?

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

I have a ipod nano shuffle, 6th gen. I bought it when I had Windows Vista. I upgraded to Windows Ultimate 7. Now it keeps shutting off. Have to press power button and touch arrow to restart. 3 to 4 times a song. I ran diagnostics. Passed until end.

Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen. I purchased it when I had Windows Vista. I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate . Was fine with Vista. Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times. Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song. I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics. Passed all until the end. The last test had a red dot failure. It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found. Does someone know how I can correct the problem? iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

I'm bustin' your chops. Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done. However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two. Guess I was wrong.... But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

My iPod nano screen is frozen and will not respond. It shows the song which was playing is paused, but will not resume playing. I have held down all controls, and changed the slide switch, but nothing happens

Hi Goofy Goat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

If you have only restored from backup in the past, try resoring to factory defaults/new iPod since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem and corruption is in the backup.
If you still have a problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod the you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is n order.
