IPod 5 screen turned green and then turned off.

I was using my iPod touch 5 and the screen started turning green and thin black lines were appearing. The screen turned black but the iPod was still on. I used the reboot to try turn it on again (home and on/off button pressed together) and it turned off completely. I left it for the day to cool down, because it was really hot suddenly. When I tried to turn it on again, nothing happened when i tried pressing home button, holding the on button and the reboot. Please help!

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 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. The hotness suggests a hardware problem

  • HT4972 My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall

    My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall not the computer but when i plug it into the computer and put it in DFU mode it wont restore there is an error 3194 and error 1602 and nothing i do helps

    Here's what I found about error 1602:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    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.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert,update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194 is also seen when somebody is trying to restore jailbroken devices.

  • My ipad is flat and when I plug it in to charge it just repeatedly turns on and then turns off but isn't charging. I tried to plug into itunes but it just goes through the same ritual and can't maintain connection to itunes. What should I do ?

    1. Reset iPad
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

  • When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

    When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

    Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
    However, first, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • What can I do about my FaceTime screen turning green and then freezing?

    My screen for facetime freezes and then turns green

    I (& my brother) have the same issue when facetiming my sister. She's got an iphone 4s (updated to the current iOS) & my brother & I have iphone 4. The call connects, we see her for a couple of seconds, then it goes all blocky & green screens & drops the call. My brother has also tried on his ipad & gets the same issue, only it reboots the ipad (but it doesn't seem to do that with our phones).
    Have had a quick look online but haven't found anything.... only a video that someone posted (which shows what I've described above!)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFWrmTmJII
    If anyone has any ideas.... I'd be greatful (& so would others I'm guessing)
    Cheers
    Edit: (also, videos & pictures outside of facetime are fine!)

  • Why does my screen keep flashing and then turn black when I use the marquee tool?

    When I bring up a photo to work on and i try to draw circle or square with the Marquee tool my screen flashes black and then stays black until I use the move tool?

    This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

  • My new battery isn't charging.  My mac didn't recognize the battery even after charging it for almost 3 hours.  Turns on and then turns right off even with the power plugged in so I took out the battery to type here.

    Just got a new battery.  I put it in and computer worked for a few minutes and shut down.  I thought okay it needs to charge.  Left it charging for three hours and tried turning on my computer and it came on, didn't recognize the battery and then turned off.  So I have taken it out so I can type this question and ask for help.  Help.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi!
    I think that it could be for 2 reasons: or the battery is defectuous or that's a SMC problem.
    I guess that your mac is an Intel-based. So try to reset the SMC, it's explained at this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US.
    If it doesn't work, try to update the SMC firmware, but I think that if you could use your old battery it hasn't to be necessary...

  • 2009 Mac Pro turns on and then powers off a few seconds after.

    Help!!!
      I have two Mac Pro's with separate issues.  First Mac Pro does turn on but then cuts off by the time it gets to the Login window.  I opened it up and saw that when the computer is on, there is a red light in the middle of the processor board.  Is this normal? And what should i do to see what is causing this?  I had 16GB RAM but i tried swapping out chips to see if maybe it was a RAM issue.  Same issue even if all i put in is 2GB of RAM.
    Second mac Dosent even turn on.  Also a 2009 model.  the red light that normally blinks once when you plug power in on the Main board, doesn't even flicker.  I feel it's the power supply,  but before i try swapping power supplies i thought i would see if i could get a second opinion.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    On your first example, if the Mac detects Directory Damage such that the Boot Volume cannot be mounted, it will run the equivalent of a Disk Utility ( Repair disk ) at Startup. If that does not repair the problem, you will not be starting up, so it powers down.
    On the second one, the traditional method of debugging those difficult problems is to remove everything that could be dragging down power, and hope for the Chime. Yes that means everything. If you remove all the RAM, but it is otherwise working, it will flash the power light to indicate "not enough working RAM to start up". Add back some RAM and you should get the chime. add back the graphics card and you should get the blinking question mark. Add a boot drive and... so on.

  • My iPod screen is white and keeps turning back on white

    My iPod Touch screen has gone white, I am able to turn it off and sometimes use the touch screen but it always comes back white even when I restart it. I have tried to turn it off which I am able to but the screen comes back white. I sometimes can use the touch screen but I can't see what I'm touching. This happened after I dropped my iPod. My iPod is 4th generation, not jail broken or anything. The screen has had a problem of not sticking to the interieur of the iPod ever since I had to replace the cracked screen. What could I do to get it back to the way it was?

  • My time capsule turns on and then turns off...

    my time capsule turns on, then amber light is blinking and then it turns off. the whole story takes 15 sec. any suggestions? is this the end?

    Ok, I'll dismount the harddrive and have a look how it behaves then. If it stays on I'll head for a power supply replacement.
    This seems to be a good disassembly how-to:
