HT1766 my iphone screen is blank how do i fix it

my iphone screen is blank how do i go about restoring it to factory setting .

Before you do a factory default reset, try just resetting the phone.  Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down until the Apple logo appears on the screen and wait for phone to restart itself.
If this doesn't help, you will need to turn on iTunes on your computer.  Connect your phone using the sync cable.  Select the phone in iTunes on the left hand navigation panel.  On the phone's summary page in iTunes click the Restore button and wait for the phone to restore itself.  If iTunes asks if you want to restore from a backup say no.  Or you will be right back to where you were.
You will have to re-load all your apps and music.  If you have any pictures that you want to save, see if you can connect the phone to your computer without iTunes running.  Then in your computer browser (Not sure if you are on Windows or Mac) see if you can find your phone.  If so, open it up like a drive, open the folder that contains your pictures and drag them to a folder on your computer.
By not restoring from a backup you lose everything and really do get back to factory settings.  Which means starting from scratch.

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    My ipod camera screen went blank how do i fix it?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    What do you mean by blank screen? Do you mean all black or is it completely white?  Have you done any of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting yet?

    Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will save your data and settings.
    Purchases can be transferred by choosing "transfer purchases".
    After that import photos or videos to your computer.
    You can use the backup again to restore the phone after it has been serviced.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • ITunes error: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it?

    The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
    A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.

    PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
    Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab.
