I have a white screen on my ipod and can't use it

I plugged in my ipod to do an update on Itunes but it didn't finish the update. It is stuck on a white screen when it is plugged in and shows low battery when it is not. I've tried a forced restart and it isn't doing anything. It also is not charging right now.

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 have a White-Screen on my iPod Touch 2G

Hello User,
i hope you can help me .
After I had played a game on my iPod Touch 2G, my iPod suddenly went to a white screen.
I have made these things to solve the problem:
-I have reseted the iPod
-I have put it in the Recovery-Mode
-I have restored it
-I have used the newest Firmware for my iPod Touch and the newest version of iTunes 10
I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad englisch (I am from Germany)

Sounds like a hardware failure. If it's still in warranty, try contacting Apple for repair. If it's not, you can look up some third party companies for repair. Also Apple will repair out of warranty for a fee.

I have a white screen on my ipod. i have tried pushing the two buttons at same time but it doesn't work. i tried restoring on itunes but can't because of the password on ipod

My ipod 4th gen. has a white screen. i have tried pushing the two buttons but it didn't work.    I have tried to restore on i tunes but because there is a pass code on the ipot, it won't let me. Any ideas?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Did you use the two-button combo press to reset it? Follow this procedure for your iPod type.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If you did that already or it does not help, you may need to do a Restore in iTunes on the iPod. This will erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then you can re-sync it from your iTunes library.

Have an iMac 2008/09 on starting today I have a white screen, an apple icon and a constant rotating sun, nothing else. I've tried turning off and disconnecting and reconnecting the power lead with the same results. Any thoughts? Many thanks Matt

Have a 2008/9 iMac on starting up today I have only a white screen, apple icon and a continuous revolving sun. Have tried turning off and on and disconnecting and reconnecting the power with no affect - any thoughts or advice please. Thanks Matt

If your iMac came w/system DVDs, do the following:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your DVD that originally came w/the iMac while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

I have a white screen with an apple and nothing will work?

Turned my mac on and have a plain screen with an apple logo. Nothing will work?

Hi,
Some kernel extension or driver isn't loading properly, it seems. Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key down on startup until you reach the grey Apple backdrop with the spinning cogwheel and a progress bar. As soon as the progress bar shows up, you can let go of the Shift key.
Booting in Safe Mode takes a lo-ooong time, so be patient and don't interrupt (the computer booting, not me talking...). Once you've reached a workable Desktop, reboot in normal mode and tell us if it solved your problem.

I have over 5000 songs on my ipod and can not see a way of keeping them if I want to set up a new itunes libary. I want to add my tunes from my ipod to a new itunes libary without it saying it will wipe what I already have. please help

Hi everyone.
I had an itunes account for my classic and a few months ago wanted to add my daughters ipod to it. it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account and asked me if i wanted it to link her ipod and delete the current libary. like a fool i said yes. now i have a party comming up and cant plug my classic in without it saying if i sync it will wipe my 6000 songs and leave me with the new blank itunes that i have just set up.
what i want to do is add my 6000 songs to a new apple id libary/itunes without it wiping all my songs. does anyone know how to do this.
help thanks

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

The headphones will work with the iPod Touch. For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector. The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries
