Hi there,
You may need to restore the device to factory settings. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    any ideas about how to fix an iPod Nano with a white screen??

    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 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.

  • How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

    My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge.  I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked.  It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it.  I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
    Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

  • IPod touch 4th generation white screen

    What to do or how to fix a white screen on a 4th gen iPod touch 8 gig?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • How to fix a iPod touch 4th generation lock button?

    so I went to apple to see if they could fix my lock button. They said i would have to pay a replacement cost of $99 and i already did to because I cracked the screen a few months ago. So there is no way that i will pay it again, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IT FIXED?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If the Genius can't unstick it:
    - They will exchange it at no cost if the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abuse.
    - otherwise the exchange price is $199 for 64 GB on and $99 for the others.

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • HT204266 How do I buy a game for an ipod Nano 4th generation?

    I have received an ipod nano, 4th generation from a friend whose daughter is upgrading.  I gave it to my 8 year old, and he wants some games on it.  How do I buy Sonic and other games for it?  When I went to the itunes store, there didn't seem to be any way to find click wheel games.

    You don't.  Apple stopped selling ( or app makers quit making)  click wheel games some time ago.

  • How do I manually transfer music from my MAC to my iPod Nano (4th Generation)?

    Recently, I have encountered a problem when trying to drag and drop songs and playlists from my Mac to my iPod Nano (4th Generation). I click on the file in my iTunes Library window but it won't allow me to copy it to my iPod. I've restarted both my Mac and my iPod but it hasn't helped. Do I need to download an update?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Do I need to download an update?
    Use Software Update to update iTunes if needed.  Read the iTunes/iPod Summary page to find out if your iPod Nano needs any updates which you can download from there.
    You cannot drag & drop anything to an iPod Nano.  You must sync - Syncing Music to iPod

  • Ipod nano 4th generation wet water washer washing machine

    I accidentally left my ipod nano 4th generation in my gym shorts pocket and it went through the washer and dryer.  It was not responding and seemed to be broken.  I was very upset because I have had this nano for a long time.  I found a video online that showed me how to fix it.  I submerged my ipod in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, then placed it in a bag of rice overnight, then charged it the next day, and it worked.  It still has a water stain on the screen but works fine.  Here is the video youtube.com/watch?v=OYE8LK2w3YM   The video says to use 99.9% isopropyl, I used 70% and it worked.  Hope this helps.

    You should have let the iPod dry out for a few days by putting it in a back up dry rice to help absorb some of the moisture.  It's likely that your iPod is beyond normal repair via a reset or restore so you'll need to have your iPod serviced, either by Apple or a third party repair company.
