I cannot access my ipod there is a gray screen

why is my ipod's screen gray and blank?

Kae,
Have you tried any of the 5 R's yet?  If not, see this link.

Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced.

  • I have entered my password but it is saying not recognised and now I cannot access my ipod! Help please

    I turned my Ipod touch on and it asked me for my password which I entered but it is saying it is the wrong password - I always use the same.  I now cannot access my ipod.  Not sure what to do??

    I'm sorry but the only way to enter your iPod again Is to restore it to factory settings. go to iTunes and click on your iPod then click the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring. This will work trust me

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Cannot access my ipod

    someone please help ive restored itunes over and over again and i cannot seem to access my ipod 80gb 6th gen from no where, ive change usb ports, and ive also tried to check for errors from my computer but i get a message saying "this check could not be performmed because windows cant acces the disk"
    and when i connect it i get a message saying "please insert a disk into 'My Ipods name' (K"
    but on my ipod i get
    the conected screen and it also charges

    I may be wrong, but I believe in order to play music from your iPod through your computer, you must set it to manually updating.
    Go to preferences (not sure what it is in windows, i think tools>>preferences).
    Click on the iPod tab (the iPod must be connected)
    Choose "manually update"
    Click ok.

  • After updating itunes to 10.5.3, two of my ipod classics no longer are listed under "devices" when connected to the computer. They are visable in windows as ipod but i cannot access them.  there is nothing i can do to get itunes to recognize them.. help

    ive tried restarting the apple service, wiping the ipods, restoring one of the ipods when itunes found it the first time but that never completed (Itunes froze out eventually) and now itunes does not recognize either device.  Additionally, itunes works fine when no ipods are connected, but when i connect these two classic ipods itunes freezes non-responsive.  there is no now way to connect the ipods to itunes and there is no music either.  ive seen others with similar issues (appearing in windows but not itunes) but all of the suggestions are not working.  any help would be appreciated.
    thank you.

    iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
    But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

    I brought my ipad2 from Canada to Thailand and put a sim card in to access wifi and 3g, but I cannot get on the internet,is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Two things:
    1. Make sure the SIM card is enabled for data.
    2. Make sure you are using the correct APN settings, in Settings - Cellular Data.

  • HT4113 Does anybody know what to do if you forget your passcode and cannot access your ipod touch?

    My son has changed the passcode lock on his ipod touch and now can't remember it  Can anybody help???  How do we get around this?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • My ipod nano (5th gen) has a lock icon in the upper left hand corner of the screen.  I have accessed itunes and re-set the ipod but it has not changed. i cannot access the ipod at all. any ideas please?

    I have also tried all the recommended 5 steps, but it doesn't respond. when connected to itunes, it will cahrge and update. but no response on its own.

    No, you will have to replace the switch or do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

  • HT2731 I lost my ipod for about six months now I cannot get the ipod store to come on screen on my pc or log into the itunes store. What should I do?

    I lost my ipod for about six months, now when I plugged it into my pc, the itunes store no longer shows up and i cannot connect to any app or itunes from the ipod.

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I cannot access my mail from the Comcast main screen, firefox says it may be a problem with having deleated cookies.

    From the Comcast main screen, using FF 3.6.13, when I click on my mail to get it, I get an error page that says Firefox has detected the server trying to direct my request to the wrong place and that it may be because i have deleted cookies. I had in fact done this while looking around the other day, but now, under tools, it says I am allowing cookies and I found a list that looks like they are all there. I am unable to get my mail, but am able to go to other web sites ok.

    Your problem is typical of the many problems reported with McAfee, and that may well be the cause. McAfee is free with Infinity but isn't built-in in the sense that you have to take it. Is your previous anti-virus still installed? If so, you should get rid of one of them anyway, and the usual advice here would be to ditch McAfee.
    Even if McAfee is the your only AV I would replace it. If your previous AV is no longer available there are plenty of free options, and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is as good a choice as any. There's advice on uninstalling McAfee here.

  • Netflix app for ipod touch not working - gray screen

    I downloaded the netflix app today, but when I open the program it loads the netflix welcome screen then the screen goes gray and nothing happens. How do I get netflix to work on my 2nd generation ipod touch? I am running iOS4.

    A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.
    If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.
    I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.
    Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.
