Help with ipod video, screen doesn't work

My ipod started acting weird when I updated the ipod software. My screen will freeze, but it's not black or white, it shows the "Do not disconect" sign but with a bunch of little color squares all over the screen. I've tried everything, restore it, reset it, everything and as soon as it turns on, the screen goes like this.
can anyone help me?
thanks!

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is 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 factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Need help with ipod video, problems with blinking screen, wont charge

    Hello,
    I'm a new owner of an ipod video, and I've had it for not even two weeks and haven't used it but 3 or 4 times, and I went to turn it on and nothing happened, so I figured the battery died. Then I hooked it up to the usb and computer (windows xp OS) and nothing except a fast blinking white screen and a low noise, not music though. It wont charge, and I even reinstalled everything and used all the tips online- any words of advice except to take it to an apple store?

    Apple decided to hide the user library folder with OS10.7. You can get to it by using the menu.
    Quit Illustrator.
    Method one....
    In the Finder choose Go > Go To Folder and type "~/Library" (no quotes) and hit OK.
    Your Library folder will open.
    Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
    Move that Settings folder to your desktop.
    Restart Illustrator and try exporting again.
    If it works as expected, you can trash teh Settings folder on your desktop.
    Since you're removing preferences, items like Scratch Disk settings will need to be reconfigured in Illustrator if you've altered them from the default settings.
    Second method.....
    Hold Command-Option-Shift when you launch Illustrator.
    Preferences will be removed.
    You won't get any sort of dialog or window confirming this, it just happens.
    Reason for two methods.
    Method one allows you to put the settings folder back if yoru problem is not cured by removing it. It also allows you to move items back to the new Settings folder that is created (like Workspaces).

  • I need help with ipod video...please and thank you

    Hi
    My Ipod is down! I've tried to go on the apple website to help me fix the problem but I think im not getting any progress.
    when i open my ipod, all i see is the little ipod with x's in its eyes ..."sad ipod" and..
    Whenever i connect the ipod to compt with the USB all i see is the battery sign with the thunder...ive tried waiting but no luck...
    I tried to reset it but its not working.
    I cant restore or update bc the updater wouldnt work
    When i go to itunes it would say no ipod connected but yet the ipod is on with the batery and thunder.. I know it has battery but why is it not working
    I tried it on another compt and still not working
    do u think its the usb?
    Please help
    thanks
    much love !!
    edit....
    whoops i realized its in the wrong topic
    SORRY and i dont know how to move it SORRY
      Windows XP  

    So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att. So the phone being locked for att wouldn't be a bother for me. I've just heard of people getting sim card read errors after updating, so I was wondering if I should even bother.

  • Help with iPod video

    Hi, I have a problem with my iPod or iTunes ( don´t know which one is the problem ).
    When I transfer a video from my computer to my iPod using iTunes it shows its a video ( the video is mpeg4 )all good till here then I disconnect my iPod and watch the video ( on my iPod ) and everything still good till here, here comes the problem I connect my iPod again to my computer, open iTunes but the video that I was watching before connect it now appears like a song and can´t watch it on my iPod I can only listen to it like a song.
    Why happen this ?
    Please Help >.<

    Yes I am using the version of iTunes that u said and I use videora for enconde the videos.
    I´ll be more specific, I transfer a video to my ipod using itunes then I disconnect the ipod and watch my video using my ipod, I connect again my ipod, open itunes but the video I had transfered disapeared from my ipod and I can only play it, the one in ipod, using itunes.
    Now if I click on the "Get info"/Summary, it shows its a video file, but If I go the the "otpions tab" the video type ( music video, movie etc ) dosen´t exits.
    I know that I can listen videos like songs but what I mean is that the video switched for some reason to audio type so I can only listen to it and its supposed to be a video file. ( on my ipod )

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mavericks, AppleTV-3, Accessibility Zoom, Zoom Style:  Full Screen, doesn't work at all. Help.

    I'm a teacher using an AppleTV 3 (latest updates) to project & teach FCP X in a large iMac lab. Using my Macbook Pro (late 2011), I could use any of the Zoom, Zoom Styles.  However, since upgrading to Mavericks, I have an issue when projecting my laptop screen to white screen. The problem is when using Accessibility Zoom, Zoom Style:  Full Screen, doesn't work at all. Strangely, Zoom Style: Picture in Picture works fine. I've tried other macs running Mountain Lion, both work without issue. Please help. This is killing my effectiveness.

    Is the page size of the PDF 8.5 inches wide? What do you have set for the "Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display > Custom Resolution" setting? What is the pixels/inch spec for your display?
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro. The display is 1280x800 pixels and about 11-1/4 inch wide.
    1280 pixels / 11.25 inch = 113.8 pixels/inch
    When calibrated using the method I mentioned above, my custom resolution setting in Acrobat is 114 pixels/inch, which is close enough to the spec of 113 for this display.
    Yes its 8.5 wide I printed a test page its formatted 8.5 by 11
    Acrobat does a little differently. Word and other applications, for example 100% means to physically see right, & left edge, and top & bottom. you see the entire page without scrolling. an 8.5 by 11 page.  If you want to see 8.5 width you set page width which for Portriat page its 292%
    My monitor settings 1920 by 1200
    DPI system default 131 custom 110
    Also on Mac what you see on screen depends upon the Printer used.  (Just FYI only)

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I say not worth it for a 2G
    Apple - iPod Repair price                       
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again, likely not worth it for a 2G
