Frozen blank screen

My iPod Video is frozen with a blank screen with the backlight on. It's been like this for a week. any ideas on what i should do other than going to the apple store?

See this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears to be frozen.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.

  • TS1906 Ical frozen - blank screen, no data and unresponsive buttons

    After installing the last update, Ical is frozen - its shows no calender data, and the buttons for day/week/month don't work. I restored the calender data from my last time machine backup, after which it worked for the first time I opened ical. The next time I opened it, I was back to square one - no data, and unresponsive buttons (also not able to change the view over the top bar menu) and then I even got a blank screen (where the calender data should be).
    Luckily my data still shows on my iphone and on my google calender. Its only on my Mac (version IOS 10.6.8) that Ical (version 4.0.4 (1395.7)) isn't working. I believe this is a bug of the actual Ical software, rather than my data.
    Anyone have similar experiences, or an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.

    I had the same problem with my Radeon Mobility U1.
    The solution is to downgrade the xf86-video-ati driver to the version 6.7.195-3 and it should work flawlessly.
    Make sure pacman and/or yaourt don't upgrade this driver inadvertently to this latest, buggy version, until a fix is released.

  • Nano's frozen, blank screen comes on

    My ipod nano wants to turn on but doesn't, the screen will light up and be blank. I tried holding the middle button and menu = nothing. I can see everything when it's connected to the computer. Anyone know any secrets to this problemo?

    I now found out my son dropped the nano into a puddle, so it got wet. Tried to let it dry for about 2 weekes now and the ipod itself actually works, you just have to guess where the songs are as the screen lights up but is still blank, no anything but a blank screen. Any ideas on this type of situation?

  • TS2621 When I try to access my mail I just get frozen blank screen. Also on settings the screen freezes when I press the mail calendar  icon.

    I cannot access my mail. When I try I just get a blank divided screen which is frozen. Also in settings when  I press the mail calendar icon nothing happens except the settings screen freezes. Not very computer literate.

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    Could the disk have failed?

  • IMac seems frozen in that following start-up, sun flower just keeps spinning on a blank screen (only Aplple logo on white screen)

    IMac seems frozen in that following start-up, sun flower just keeps spinning on a blank screen (only Aplple logo on white screen).  Turning off and on not helpful.  Any ideas?

    What  iMac is it and what version of OS X are you running?
    Try an SMC reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
    If that doesn't help, try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar - you'll need to input your admin password during boot-up - and once booted, restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • My brand new 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 frozen to blank screen with Vertical lines.  Why! any ideas before I send back to store. Thanks

    My brand new 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 JUST straight out of the box worked for 20 minutes, long enough to sort Apple ID etc,  then froze to a blank screen with Vertical lines.  Why! any ideas before I send back to store. Thanks
    ps: mavericks not installed on it yet, didn't even have chance to do anything with it!

    None. Take it back ASAP.

  • IPod frozen on blank screen

    When I was walking to class this morning, I plugged in my headphones and turned my iPod on (as I always do). One song played fine then it stopped playing, I took it out to see why it had stopped (the battery was fully charged) and the screen was white with the backliht still on. No text or anything, I've never seen it with a blank screen like this before so I don't know how it got like that without me even touching it.
    It was like that all day and when I got home I plugged it into the charger and it did nothing. When I plugged it into my computer, it recognised that something had been plugged into the USB drive but iTunes did not recognise my iPod. The battery always lasts really well and it hasn't shown any signs of dying yet and the backlight is still lit up and the screen is still white. No matter what I do to it, nothing changes.
    I'm really worried. It was working fine yesterday and I've never had a problem with it before. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thank you!

    Any help here?

  • HT4623 I have a blank screen. It was working then suddenly it has a blank screen. My Ipad is still under warranty I bought it last June 4, 2013

    I cannot repair or reset because it has a blank screen

    Plug it into the charger for at least 30 minutes.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    Are you using the wall charger? If totally discharged, it won't give an indication of charging for about 20-30 minutes.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
