HT1430 how can i restart it if my lock screen button doesnt work?

my ipod 4th generation 's screen turned completely white an hour ago and it hasnt gone back to normal. so i looked on google & it told me to reser it by holding the lock screen & home button for 10 seconds. but my lock screen button hasnt worked since about 6 months ago. is there anyway i could reset it without using the lock button? or anyway to get the white screen off at all??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

- 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.

    You can't. Either tap the Sleep/Wake button or just let the call to continue to ring.

    Thank you for that update.
    I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.

    If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

  • HT1430 How can you reboot your Touch if the screen is frozen and will not allow you to use the "slide to power off"

    How can I reboot my Touch when the screen is frozen and I cannot use the "slide to power off" feature?

    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

    My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
    Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

    That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
    Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

  • Hi please tell me how can I remove picture frame from lock screen

    ?

    You can only turn it off if you have a passcode on the lock screen - in which case you do it via Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Picture Frame off. If you don't have a passcode lock then you can't disable it

  • How can i get my back and foward icon buttons to work?

    When I'm on a website i can't move forward or back because the icons are grayed out. Is thee any way I could fix that?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Give details of the problem. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "How do I reinstall," or "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
    Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
    Post in the most relevant discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the OS X version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple products, such as Safari, iTunes, and iPhoto, have their own forums.
    If asking about third-party software, specify the full product name, what it does, the source (website, App Store, etc.), and the version. Your first recourse should be to the developer and/or its user forum, if any. Include the results of that contact in your message: what you were told and what you did.
