HT201263 ipod white screen will not restore

Tonight got white screen on my ipod, looked on apple website - tried to reboot and then tried to restore still white screen any other ideas please

Try the steps in the article that I linked above.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.
An easy way to find out if this is caused by the security software is to just uninstall it. If it works, just update the iPhone then reinstall the security software and try to set it up in a way that doesn't cause a problem.

My screen will not restore down using the icon

My screen will not restore down on Firefox. It will restore down on IE8 but I prefer to use Ftrefox.

Do you have any peripherals connected to the computer such as a printer, external HD, scannner etc. If so try disconnecting each one by one. My guess is one of them may be causing your problem.

Howdy carliosa,
If your iMac is not starting up normally you may need to do some checking to make sure things are working correctly. I would suggest starting with the steps in this article -

My ipod touch screen will not rotate

My screen will not rotate. I understand it does not rotate when the keyboard is open, but is ther a rotate lock button somewhere?

If the screen rotation feture is locked(3G and 4G only) here will be a circled arrow with a pdlock inside shown on the upper right part of the iPod's screen. You access the lock by double clicking the Home button and going all the way to the left on the lower part of the screen. you will either see a circled arrow or the circled arrow with a padlock inside. Tap to change.

Ipod "corrupted" and will not restore following logging on to itunes

Please please help!! I have recently bought 2 ipod classic's (120GB). I have previously had MP3 players and all of my music has been in either wma or mp3 format on the computer (through windows media). i have managed to convert all 500+ albums over to itunes but my ipod is now apparently corrupted "code 1439". I have tried everything on the apple website and it will not restore to factory settings. Th ipod itself is saying 0KB free even though there is nothing on it. I tried to download music from itunes and it got to three albums and then crashed. This is my second ipod, having sent the previous one back to the retailer. If anybody can help then it will be greatly appreciated. Computer runs on windows XP pro, Norton 360 installed, and all of my music is still in Windows media as well.
Cheers
Russ

HT201263 Ipod white screen HELP!

hey i have an ipod touch 4th gen and this morning it went to white screen and i cannot connect to my itunes because it isnt recognizing my ipod for some reason (i am guessing because of the white screen). When i try to reset my Ipod with holding lock and home button it shows me the apple then goes back to white screen. I have never encountered this problem before so I am stuck, and will this possibly result in my ipod being dead and me having to get another one.
This was coused by me trying to update to ios 6 and it just radomly stopped and wen to white screen.

I had the same problems: constant white screen (or sometimes white with colored lines) and iTunes would not recognize the iTouch. After much experimenting, I was finally able to recover my iTouch using the following steps:
1. Update iTunes to the latest version.
2. Allow the iTouch to fully drain. (Mine was so locked up that the 2-button hold reboot wouldn't work anymore. You might try skipping this step if yours isn't quite as angry!).
3. With iTunes running, connect the iTouch to the PC.
4. Hold both the buttons until the Apple symbol appears, THEN KEEP HOLDING until a "connect to PC" screen appears.
At this point, iTunes finally recognized it long enough to allow me to select "recover". As the update was downloading, the iTouch lost connectivity. After the download was complete, I repeated step 4 above, and was able to select recover again. Although it took a very long time, eventually the recovery completed, and iOS6 was installed.
By the way, if you are like me and did not have the latest iTunes installed, the restore process will download some version of iOS5 (instead of iOS6) then refuse to go any further after the download is complete.
Hope this helps.

My Ipod touch screen will not come up unless I conect it to the computer. It never gets past the apple logo and never fully retores? My screen is crackd a little at the bottom. Is this a screen or software problem?

My ipod touch 4will not respond unless I hook it up to the computer. It never goes pasthe logo apple screen.It never restores fully. Cant tell if this is a screen or software problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

My ipod touch 4g will not restore, there's no problems with my pc as i recently set up an ipad the following day using the same procedure

Hi, can someone please help? My sons new ipod touch 4g is not responding to any attempts at restore, and is not recognized in itunes or my computer. My laptop is working ok as it originally set up the ipod but when i connected it again it told me there was an update available, that's when it all went pear shaped. Just two days later we purchased an ipad which we had no problem with syncing on the same laptop using the same usb port. I can't even charge the ipod as the screen does not change from the 'connect to itunes' symbols. I've also tried charging it on a docking station, to no avail. I've done everything that's been suggested in the forums so if anyone knows anything, please let me know!

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

IPod is corrupt: will not restore, constantly resets itself

I have had my iPod 60GB for 2 years now and it just started going crazy recently. First it started skipping songs (not playing them) then when I connected it to my computer it said my iPod was corrupt and needed restored. So I clicked on restore and it keeps giving me an error message (1429) and says it cannot restore the iPod because it is corrupt. I've tried everything on the error message help page and nothing works. I tried changing the USB it was plugged into, and that didn't work. It says Windows couldn't install the software for my new drive. Now my iPod is setting here constantly restarting itself, over and over and over the Apple logo screen is coming on for a few seconds, then shutting off and back on and so on.
One of my friends said he had one that did the same and he had to send it in and get a new one- I certainly hope I will NOT have to purchase another one, because I certainly feel that for $280 you should get something that should work or can be easily fixed. If this is the case, and I don't get a new one, I will certainly NEVER purchase an Apple product again for sure.
I really like my iPod so I hope there's a way to fix it. I cannot get it to shut off now though! It keeps turning itself on and off. I am using a PC with Windows XP Serv. Pack 3 if that helps.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Virtually same problem. ipod shows playing a song, but I can hear the hard drive clicking. I tried to restore, but says ipod is corrupt. This is unreal as it is not long out of warranty and i paid way too much for this to happen. I have only used it about three months off anf on since I purchased it. It is stuck and will not shut off just the hard drive is turning. I placed it on a magnet in my car, and was wondering if that caused the problem.
Any help would be great as mor than one individual has this same issue.

Ipod disabled, screen will not move

My ipod is disabled. It tells me to connect to itunes. Itunes says it can not acces the ipod because it has a password that needs to be entered. The screen on the ipod is frozen and will not allow me to enter a password. Any ideas?

Try resetting. Nothing will be lost. Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears

My iPod's screen will not light up anymore and i don't know how to fix it?

See I droped my ipod once and the screen craked and then the next day the screen did not light up. One of my friends said that i shoundn't get a ipod from gamestop.

You can try the following but I think the cracked progressed and your iPod needs to be replaced or repaired.:
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Ipod frozen. Will not restore or turn off

I dropped my ipod early this morning and there's a dent on the back and it stays at the song I was listening to when it dropped.
It won't come off screen and I have tried everything to get it restored.
My media tech teacher told me to go ahead and send it to Apple but I want to check with everyone here first before I send my money to Apple.
Is there anyhing else that I can do and has someone else experienced this?

Ok Ok. Here let me explain it more in detail because I have to sleep now.
The Ipod is on the USB Port. It still has the song on it. No "Do Not Disconnect" or Sad Ipod or whatever.
It still has the song on the screen, the time when it stopped. Its frozen. I tried to restart it and restore it but there is no luck.
I also found my click wheel is movable now. Everytime I push it up really hard, it gets stuck and I can't push anything until I push it back down. Could that have something to do with it?

My iPod touch screen will not work.

Ever since last night, my iPod's touch screen has been messed up. I didn't use it incorrectly or anything; I just used my iPod like I normally did for the past eight months. I have seen no problems until now. The iPod's keyboard is screwed up, when I press the letter "a" the capitalizing button is activated. They same is repeated over and over among over letters as well. The first sign of the issue was when I was trying to watch a video, the play button refused to be pressed and random things were constantly activated while I did nothing. The lock screen slide doesn't work either, the only way to get into my iPod is my activating the lock camera and then pressing the home button. Should I restore the iPod or is there a quick way to fix this?

Your screen digitizer needs to be replaced. See options in link below.

IPod touch screen will not flip when turned sideways

My iPod when i turn it to either side it wil not turn. It still works with no problems. I've tried everything from restarting to restoring. This problem is very aggravating if anyone can help I'd be much obliged. Thank you.

Do you have any applications that depend on the iPod's ability to turn sideways that you could test out and see if they work?
The free application iHandyLevel would be worth downloading and opening to see if the leveling capabilities respond when you angle the iPod. If not, you've got a hardware issue and the iPod needs to be repaired.
