How to unfreeze a white screen?

my son's ipod touch has frozen on a white screen and i have tried  reseting by holding down the mute button and home button at the same time for at least 10 secs- i've done this several time and it is not working.

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.

  • How to remove/skin white screen when loading StageWebView

    Hello all,
    I'm facing a very tricky issue with StageWebView into a mobile View.
    I'm using this example -> http://soenkerohde.com/2010/11/air-mobile-stagewebview-uicomponent/
    BUT, my application has a black background and when i'm loading an HTML (wich also has a black background) the StageWebView components it's white when loading, and that i dont like.
    On viewActivate handler for StageWebView component i've put the stageWebView.stage = null; and created an event handler.
    The event handler has the command stageWebView.stage = myStage;
    In this way i can show a loader (busy indicator) and when the page is fully loaded in background,it will pop on view.
    When the StageWebView pops in view i get a flashy white screen. I have tested it on Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android).
    How i can get rid of it?
    Any sugestions will help a lot.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    If you are using the Music App (playing music) - and you lock the iPad - As soon as you slide to unlock the iPad - the album cover will disappear. Is this what you are asking?

    How to permanently fix a 'White Screen" after resetting and restoring? 2nd generation ipod

    There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.
    The other reset will do exactly what it says. That reset is located in Settings - General - Reset.

  • Any advice on how to fix a white screen?

    Within about 30 seconds of powering up cold the screen goes white. The computer seems to be working. I can eject a CD for example. On repeating the power up the screen may show a brief flicker of an image but then reverts to white. I tried resetting Pram, I also tried booting up from system CD. I then tried opening the Imac, cleaning it and pressing on the connectors in case a connector might be loose. Followed instructions from discussion board from someone who fixed a pink screen. However, in my case after putting the Imac back together the same white screen problem exists.
    Buy hey. my computer is clean even if I can't use it or get files off it.
    Any advice on what might be the problem?

    Perhaps your current projects contain some element that is tripping up the PDF playback.
    I would suggest you do some testing using the process of elimination method to narrow down why the current projects are not working in PDF.
    First create a new blank project with a few ordinary screen objects, publish to PDF and then test to ensure that there's nothing wrong with your Captivate installation per se.  If those work, then try the methodolody outlined in this post to hide slides until you find the reason:

  • How to fix a white screen iphone 4s?

    Hello!
    I've had a problem with my iphone for a while now. I dropped it at the beginning of November but it worked fine so I didn't change the screen yet. However it started turning off at around 30% now and I'm unable to turn it back on. I usually manage after about 20 minutes but it brings me a lot of stress. The screen goes white with thin lines going from the top to the bottom. It also shows water damage marks but that disappears when I manage to switch it back on. Restarting it doesn't really help much and I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't afford a new phone and this one is on contract. I know that if I go to apple they will want a lot of money for the repair. Please help me manage this somehow!

    its possible that you damaged the internal hardware when it dropped. you can try a hard reset (hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until it powers down) and if that doest work, you can try a restore in iTunes. But most likely, it is damaged and you might have to replace it.

  • How can I prevent white screen flash before loading page?

    Hi, I have a serious issue with this macbook including versions from mountain lion to maverick (now).
    THe problem is stated in the title.
    Sometimes when I load the next page, it would flash white then loads the page. It hurts my eyes to see this happen often. Sometimes it loads it with the websites background, sometimes it doesn't and uses safari's white blank page.
    I have disabled extensions and restarted safari and the computer with them off - it doesn't help or change or prevent it.
    I have switched the "open with new blank page" to other options as well with extensions off - it still didn't help.
    Please help me resolve this issue as every night it gives me eyes surprises of white flashes.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How to fix the white screen of death

    Hi I have been having trouble with my imac that was bought in 2009. I was working on a project when my imac froze. I turned it off and turned it back off but then it showed a screen the color of sky blue. I left it on the whole day then turned it off for the whole night. Once I turned it back on it showed a screen with a file sign and a blinking question mark.
    Please help me

    Sounds like a hardware problem, run Apple Hardware Test (Google it) in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times in succession. If you get any error codes you have confirmed its hardware which means there is nothing we can do to help on a user forum. It would mean a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.
