How can I fix my flashing white screen? Does it need repair?

I left my ipod touch to charge and when I went to get it I clicked on the home button and the screen was white. I googled about this white screen and I kept hearing about this "white screen of death", and saw alot of videos. Well how my iPod touch looks, well its not exactly white but rather is somewhat white as if its flashing white. I can vaguely see the ipod icons, and can play pandora or other apps but I can't see a clear screen because of the flashing white screen. I was wondering if maybe it has to do with internal things I need to get fixed like the lcd, or the digitizer. Is there anything I can do, or do I ttake it in to get it fixed? I tried clicking the home button and the power button at the same time but yes the apple icon appears but also the flashing white comes out. I dont know what to do.
Here are some pictures

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

How can I fix red flashing tint in new iMovie?

I imported a .mov file into the new imovie version and now I am getting a red flashing tint....how can i fix this??

dasacom,
In addition to what imagecollection said, the Live Rectangle bug is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

How can I get past the white screen?

When I start my iMac I see a message that my start up disk is full and that I need to delete files. After I type in my user name and password, all I see if a white screen. This problem started today. The error message about the start up disk started two days ago, and when I looked at the disk, I saw that over half of it has files described as "other". The hard drive is 250 GB. I have Time Machine backups but I don't know how to get to them to help me. So, I guess that I have two questions: how do I get past the white screen, and what are the files that are catogoraized as other? Thanks.

I did not put the OS info in my question because I am not sure what I have. I upgraded to Lion so that I could use the cloud between my devices, however I do not know the number.
Apple menu item->About this Mac and the version is listed there. Click on that and get the build number. Click again and get the machine's serial number.
I am stuck on the white screen. Any other advice?
Start with a google search for white screen mac. This one might do the trick: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/138137-imac-wont-get-passed-whit e-screen.html

How can I fix a blank blue screen?

How can I get passed a blank blue screen?

There are several things you could try, as indicated by those mentioned in this Apple Support
article about how to resolve startup issues, and perform disk maintenance. Read through them:
•Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
If you have the install-restore DVD for the system running in the Mac, that may help to start up
from and see if Disk Utility's repair disk could help. Of course, if there is a problem in hardware
a replacement hard disk drive may be necessary because these parts wear out.
A slightly different set of symptoms appear other Support articles about startup issues, but some
of the ideas are the same when attempting to resolve the cause at a user-level. If issues are too
difficult, you may choose to locate an authorized Apple service provider to have a professional
diagnostic test performed to determine if other things are behind the problematic Mac.
•Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
•Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9 or earlier) - Apple Support
(for later 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 etc systems, see 'Gray screen appears on startup' above)
Links in these support pages (blue) are similar:
•OS X Mountain Lion: If you see a blue screen at startup
•OS X Mavericks: If you see a blue screen at startup
If you have an Intel-based Mac, some of the issues may be different than those with PowerPC
hardware; so it helps to be sure you have correctly identified the computer & its working OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can i fix my iphone 4 screen that suddenly turns black?

i was in home screen when suddenly and slowy my iphone 4 screen turns black. i have tried all the solutions that i could get from google but nothing seems to work. can anyone please tell me what to do?
i have tried also restoring it to factory default and nothing happens and now when im charging it using its original home charger its geting hot. csn snyone please tell me what to do? of course except sending it to appple service center...

Love it when you all Electrical Engineers do nothing to help this guy out except trolling another guy's posts with irrelevant information to the thread in-cause.
What did you want me to tell him?
That the in Li-polymer batteries, movements of ion between the negative and positive electrodes causes heat. That the enviromental effects and conditions in which his battery is kept might affect it?
Wanted to explain him what battery cycles are?
Sometimes people understand it easier if you put it easier.
As Einstein said it, make it simpler as possible, but not easier.
@In regard to the thread starter, it sounds to me that your Touchscreen is broken. It probably needs changing.

How can I fix my ipod if it does not respond to touch?

My ipod touch is not responding to touch, I cannot slide to unlock or slide to power off. It syncs and I have tried to restore and recover but it did not help and nothing has worked. PLEEEEEEAAAASSSEEE HEEEELLLP

Try holding the 'lock' and 'home' buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo, but from what you said I don't think that will help. If it doesn't, your only course of action is to take it to the Apple store and hope that it's under warranty.
If not, you can always go to Amazon and buy a new screen and digitizer and try to replace it yourself. Nothing to lose (:

Run Disk Utility to verify/repair your drive(s). Boot from your installer dvd to repair the boot drive. If the repair reports that it fixed anything then see if your problem is fixed.

Recently I can not open any app. in my Ipad except original ones. How can I fix this problem?

You do NOT need to restore your iPad.
I believe that the problem is that there is a disconnect with your iTunes account and your iPad. What you are experiencing is a somewhat common issue after you sync your iPad, update your device - it could be a number of reasons that are causing it. the recommended fix is to download another app in order to "reconnect" your ID and iTunes account to the iPad.
You can read more about it here. You will need a WiFi internet connection in order to fix it - or you have to be able to sync with your own iTunes library.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
But this is what it says in the article.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

I've got a 15" white macbook which I bought about 2 years ago. It froze the other day and wouldn't respond so I shut it down. When I turn it on now it comes up with a flashing file with a question mark on it. How can I fix it?

I've got a 15" white macbook which I bought about 2 years ago. It froze the other day and wouldn't respond so I shut it down. When I turn it on now it comes up with a flashing file with a question mark on it. How can I fix it? I've tried a few things i've seen online but the futhest ive got is to put the start up disk in when you makes it go to a grey screen with an apple logo and the spinning wheel which then stops spinning. Can anybody help?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once.It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left handlist. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.
