HT1414 white screen and not recognised by laptop

my ipod touch froze and has now been stuck on a pure white screen. i have connected it to the computer to try to restore it but my computer will now not recognise the ipod. what should i do?

If the reset isn't working I think its unlikely that allowing the battery to run down will help.
I think the Apple Store is you best option.
You could go here and make a reservation.

Ipod touch has white screen and not responsive

ipod touch has white screen and not responsive, pls. suggest solution

Try:

- 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.

Avoid White Screen and (Not Responding) Message?

Is there a way to force FrameMaker to update the screen when it becomes unresponsive during lengthy processes?
I wrote an ExtendScript to open all files in a book (silently), import settings across all files, update the book, and then save as a PDF file. The script runs seven times, each time with different settings to control various things such as conditional text and variables.
The problem is that FrameMaker churns on certain commands, such as opening all the files and importing the settings. During this time, it might take up to 10 minutes to complete the command across all files in the book. If I click off of FrameMaker onto another applicaiton, and then go back to FrameMaker I see only a FrameMaker container window with a white background. The title bar shows the book name and (Not Responding). The script is still running and everything is fine. But there is no feedback to the user to indicate what's happening.
Is there no way to force FrameMaker to refresh the window and remove (Not Responding) from the title bar?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
This is more of a limitation of FrameMaker's implementation of the "OWL" interface. The Not Responding title bar and white screen appear not just with scripts and FDK clients, but also with other long FrameMaker operations, like updating large books, etc. In fact, in Kapil Verma's FrameMaker 11 webinar yesterday, the same thing happened when he was creating a book from a ditamap.
One way you can minimize the effect of this is to use a progress bar with your script, so people will know the progress of the script in spite of the white screen, etc.

Ipod nano white screen and not turning off

hi I bought a new mini pioneer stereo/dvd and put my ipod nano on it yesterday.. no probs it played.... but today i put it on the dock and all that it showed on the screen was a white screen with "ok to disconnect" on it... I took it off and now it is still a white screen adn flashing "Do not disconnect" I'm freaking out because I am not technically minded and my brother spent hours putting music on it for me
It is not turning off at all
eek
Thanks to anyone with time to help me

Hi
It seems to be ok now... I had to go out and it ran out of battery, when I switched it back on it appears to be fine.
If it happens again (hoping that it doesn't!) and i do the reset.. will that remove all the music that's on there?
Sorry for the ignorance
Thank you for the answer

Ipod touch has white screen and not responding

screen is white and not responding

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."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

IPod frozen (bright screen) and not recognised by computer

I have a 5th Gen IPod 30GB that is frozen with a bright screen? no text? I have plugged it into my IMac and carried out all the normal reset procedures, however, the computer does not recognise the IPod as been fitted? Any help would be gratefully received!

I tried uploading some songs from my friends computer but when I plugged it into his usb port, it said the device wasn't recognizable. All I wanted to do was upload some of his songs from iTunes but that never happened...oh well.

IPod touch 3rd gen stuck on white screen and not recognized in iTunes

So basically I dropped my iTouch in water, removed it and left in a bag of rice for 2 weeks and now the screen is a gray/white colorway and won't show up in iTunes. I've tried doing a hard reset but I can't see if that even works or has done anything. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for me!?

Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit. The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Carolyn,
I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
Many thanks

My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
