I have a white screen on my iPhone. I've reset it and have also done restore through iTunes. Didn't work. Was wondering if i restored as a new phone will i loose my contacts

i have a white screen on my computers. I tried resetting it and it worked for a few minutes until it was put to sleep and then went back to white screen when i turned it back on. I tried resetting again and it did not work. I then did restore for itunes. it didn't work. was wondering if i did restore, as a new phone set up in itunes will i loose my contacts. just want to make sure before i try in the event i have to buy a new phone want to be able to have the information to transfer.

restoring as new does just that. It will wipe your phone clean just as if you just bought it.
If you've been using your iPhone as recommended, you've been synching your contacts to your computer to a contact manager such as Outlook or Address Book, or you've been synching your contacts with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. Your contacts should be safe in one of those locations.

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen. It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

As I open up Premier, it asks me for the sequence presets, which should I chose in this case? (DV 24p?, DV NTSC?, DVCPROHD?)
Skip the step of creating a sequence, import your footage
and create a matching sequence by doing this:

HT204053 I have 2 apple ids and so now my iphone is on one account and my ipad is on the second account. I was wondering how I can change my ipad to match my iphone so I can backup to iclouds together

I have an iphone and recently got an ipad2. I have two apple ids, which I didn't know (or I created a new account when setting up). So my question is this: When setting up my ipad2 it is under one appleid and my iphone is under my other appleid. Is there a way I can change one to match the other? I would like to be able to share photos between the two and I can't unless they share the same icloud account, right?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Try:
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail

Why do I keep getting a white screen on my iPhone 5 when I check my mail?

This could be the result of a few different things. A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable. If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

How do I get rid of a white screen on an iPhone 3GS?

My iPhone 3GS was running low on battery so I plugged it into my car charger. I checked on it a few minutes later and when I pressed the Home button, only got a white screen (like a flashlight app but don't have one). I tried to power it off, but couldn't. When I got home, I plugged it into my laptop and it synced as if nothing was wrong but I still have a white screen.

If restoring as new (without using a backup) didn't help, the phone has a major hardware failure. Take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.
