Ipod 5 touch gone blank after 3 weeks

Ive had my ipod touch 5th generation for 3 weeks and the screen has randomly gone black. ive tried pressing the Home+Power button for a long time and nothing happens. ive aslo tried putting in on DFU mode and it also hasnt worked. i tried connecting to Itunes and restoring everything and pressing the Power+Home button while connected and also trying to charge it on the wall. None of it has worked and its brand new. I havent dropped it or anything. The music works and i wan turned the flash on so the touch still works. Sometimes the little Apple will come out when turning it on, but it's just a flash and then it turns off.

Seems like a hardware problem. Bring it to your local Apple Store and get it replaced if it's under the warranty. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

    - 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.

  • Icon for iPod user guide gone blank

    OK, it's a little thing, but I constantly seek perfection.
    The icon for the iPod user guide (which used to have some nifty picture) is now blank. It's just a white square (the top half is a brighter white than the bottom half).
    Any idea how to get the proper icon back?
    Thanks.

    Yes, the user guide is an original 'app' that comes already installed in the iTouch. My problem is that out of ten times trying to open it, it will maybe open once or twice (if I'm lucky). I have a full wifi connection each time. Sometimes it starts to load but never finishes, but mostly it will just say 'loading' FOREVER, and then just is a blank white page,
    I really don't care ALOT, but, if I want to know something, i would like to know I could open it and actually find an answer!
    What gives? It's basically useless,taking up space and can't be deleted.

  • TS1717 my ipod screen has got blank white and it makes 2 beeping sounds when i turn it on.Anyone come across such a problem ???

    My ipod nano has gone blank a white screen and when i turn it on it beeps twice.Anybody know if its possible to resolve the problem?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod touch completely dead after attempted update to 3.0

    Cross-posted to "with Windows" forum...
    ...Not only during update to 3.0, but also during update to 2.2.1 and during a restore attempt 6 weeks ago. All 3 "dead" iPods have been replaced by Apple - I'd like a solution...
    I have videoed the update taking place and the iPod dying during it - sadly it is in MOV format (439MB) and I cannot convert to an uploadable version for Youtube... By DEAD, I mean, no power and will not display ANYTHING on the screen. Simply won't power up again.
    This is what happens: Download update using iTunes... Extracting software... Backing up iPod... Preparing the iPod for the software update... (iPod shows USB plug and CD - then apple logo...) then the updating progress line appears on iTunes and on touch. Updating iPod software... Verifying updated iPod software... Updating the iPod firmware... White progress line on iPod disappears after a few seconds and screen goes black. Error message displays on iTunes - "The iPod xxxx could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)"
    iPod is now dead and needs to be replaced,
    1) Has anyone experienced this?
    2) Has anyone SOLVED it?
    Maybe related is a problem with some videos that have happened recently (and were the cause of me trying to restore the iPod last time it died) MP4 (or MPV files) play for about 20-30 minutes, then screen goes white, then black, then apple logo appears, then iPod returns to home screen after about 30 seconds. My usual solution to this has been to remove all videos, photos (which are corrupted by this time), audio, and then re-sync back.
    I'd appreciate ANY help please. I intend buying an iPhone soon and would like to know that the problem won't occur on that, every time I try to restore.
    Cheers!
    Martin

    To begin the discussion, let's throw in a few possibilities:
    1. Is your iPod in the process of being "jail-broken"? If so, I'd avoid the risk and stick with standard Apple firmware. Some hacks end up with dead iPods.
    2. Do you use iTunes for syncing? Only use Apple software for managing your file system.
    3. Are you Windows or Apple? For whatever it's worth, I've only seen this happen with Windows machines.
    No solutions here - but maybe some hopeful suggestions.

    A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
    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.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My Ipod nano touch is not charging, not showing in my PC or laptop. Last I saw an apple icon and low battery signal. There after the screen is black and no power not taking AC or PC charge. What Can I do?

    If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
    If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora  while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
    You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
    If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Deleted messages are gone after 2 weeks!

    After I delete my message, it goes to the trash. I have changed the preference to go to the new folder and not automatically delete the messages after 30 days, but they are not working. My messages are gone after 2 weeks and not in any folder. Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you checked the settings and preferences on all your devices that sync your mail, if your mail is set to be removed after two weeks on any device, then that action will be synced across all of them.
