Ipod 160 GB has blank white screen

My 160 GB ipod has a blank white screen. This happened simply by my plugging it in to my computer this morning to charge it. I want to get it turned off so I can consider resetting it.

Work through each of the recommend 5 R's of troubleshooting. If necessary, let the iPod's battery full drain first and then work through each one again as necessary.

If they are unable to addresse the white screen issue, it's a good indicator of a hardware issue with the iPod's display or its display's connection to the logic board.

Ipod Touch 1st generation: blank white screen - I tried holding both buttons and connecting it to the computer, restoring it, and still nothing. What else can I do? I did not drop it in water.

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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen.

My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen. I've followed all the troubleshooting tips - turning off (hard to tell when all you see is white), hard reset, and restore. I updated to the latest software versions. Itunes recognizes the ipod. I restored it. Nothing changed. Still have the white screen. It hasn't been mishandled - no cracked screen, no water, hasn't been dropped. Any other suggestions or is it time to call Apple?

If you have done al the hardware troubleshooting, call Apple to get it serviced.

Ipod touch has blank white screen

My Ipod touch has a blank white screen. I have attempted to restore and restart. I have also reset. The touch is recognized on my itunes page. It will allow me to eject the ipod. I also put earphones on to determine whether I could hear anything (desperation). I can hear something through the speakers. Not music but kind of like dead air---a little hissing----so I know something is going on. I am confused about what to do or whether that little white screen is the beginning of the end. Any insight into my problem would be much appreciated

Ipod classic 80gb shows blank white screen

I have an Ipod classic 80gb. I was having sync issues w/ itunes so I restored it using the itunes restore button. All good, it said it was updating my Ipod software and all went well. Then upon restart of the Ipod at the completion of the software update, no apple icon or anything. Just a blank white screen. The click wheel and all buttons still function as does the hold switch. I have tried resetting it (Menu and select) numerous times to no avail. I have tried restoring it and everything else with no result either. Connect it to my computer, Itunes sees it, syncs with it and all is well, just a blank white screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I also have this problem. I've been living with it for about 3-4 months. My iPod classic 60gb will happily play music, connect to computers, and do every other function is has...the problem is I can't see what functions I'm selecting because of the blank screen - the back light is on, but none of the details seems to get loaded.
So in theory, it's like using my iPod with my eyes shut - blindly navigating.
This started happening around the time I got a car fm transmitter to use with it, so possibly the use of this may have corrupted the display?
I'm still at a loss of how to fix this, other than taking it to get repaired somehow. Anyone else having this problem, or have a solution?

HT204266 App Store has blank white Screen ios 6

App store has a blank white screen. Feature and charts section is blank. Search does't work.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I Just got the new a new ipod touch which was working fine. I began updating to new apple software and while doing so I lost internet connection and ipod was unplugged. Now all I get is a blank white or green screen even after reset. The ipod won't even register when plugged into computer or itunes. What can I do?? If I wait until the battery dies and run a restore will it work?? If so How do I get the games back I purchased recently? Please help I'm pretty new to all this.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

My ipod touch 4 has a white screen

I was on my ipod looking at my facebook page when it suddenly froze up. Then the page turned white & i now have the "white screen of death". Is there anything i can do? i've tried the power & home button pressed at once. Is my only hope sending it back to apple?

Let the battery drain completely.
Then charge it up.

CC app has blank white screen, not downloading anything?

I just download the CC app to my Windows 8 laptop.
After going through all the steps, everything seemed fine.
But then I went to download the Adobe Flash [The animation program] trial version from the site, and the CC app pops up from my desktop, but it's just a blank white box.
On the main site it says:
Flash Professional is downloading now...
But NOTHING is showing any sign of it doing so on the site, downloads, or my computer.
I've never used this site before, and don't ever recall downloading Flash at home, only in school.
I search through my files/programs, and nothing related is there.
I appreciate any help.
