IPOD and white screen asking in different languages

Hello everyone
My ipod has been acting up for the pass few months and now i have had enough.
When my ipod is connected to my fm tuner, when it is time to take the tuner off, it gives me a white screen saying in different languages to connect to computer and restore. I have restored my ipod about 20 times in the past months. I work on linux and have a vitual windows xp
is my ipod broken or what

Hopefully the battery has leak after long disused.
Recharge the iPod battery for at least 4 hours, normally it would take 30 minutes of recharge before the screen comes to live.
Disconnect the iPod, safely, after charging.
If your battery is good and can recharge fully.
Hard Reset the iPod - Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Select your preferred language.
Connect your iPod back to the Mac, and see if it is recognised by iTunes or Finder
Good Luck! and you will need it when syncing your iPod.

  • HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

    im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

    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.

  • Freezing, Restarting And White Screen

    *Freezing, Restarting And White Screen:*
    All these things happen at any time what
    ever I do. I've restored my a million times
    and nothing seems to work.
    SPECS:
    2nd Generation
    iPod Touch
    OS 4.1
    Please Help ):

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already delete the ipsw software file on your computer to make iTunes download a new copy from the Apple server to restore your firmware from?
    Also try to restore without using the existing backup, it might contain damaged files causing the behavior of your ipod.
    iwps files are stored here:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    7 and Vista: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

  • I installed Reader (in English) and it prints in a different language

    I installed Reader [01/03/2010,in English] and it prints in a different language/garble.
    I received a hospital appointment email with an attachment confirming my next day's appointment.
    The attachment confirms place and time with a barcode to be scanned upon arrival at the hospital's kiosk.
    So far all is good but, when I print the attachment it looks similar in format but is garbled.
    It does not appear to be a translation to a foreign language but rather a series of random letters and symbols.
    Examples:
    Time:      prints out as; Ujn f ;       Provider:prints out as: Qspwjef s ; Location: prints out as: Mpdbyjo
    09:00AM   "     "   ;    1: ; 11BN      Not only are the letters garbled but they are merged
    I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it. My question is "What I Gotta Do?" HELP!

    It "could" have something to do with improper embedding of the fonts used in the document. Reader is substituting for a different font which as you can see, rarely works.
    One thing you can try is in the print menu find the option to "print as image" and see if that works.
    If it doesn't, there isn't really anything you can do except to contact the folks that made the PDF and request that they embed all fonts.

  • Black and White Screen

    My Iphone 4 has been shutting down to a black dos like screen with White letters.

    This has been going on since I've tried to upgrade OS6.  It would go to this black screen but eventually come back on with a drained battery.
    ITunes error showed to restore phone back to factory settings so I did but it only worked for 4 days.  Now it's been down for at least 15 hours.
    Any one see this issue before?

    Thank you.  There is not an apple store near by.  I need my phone for work.  My warranty has expired and 13 month into contract is too early for the 18 month early upgrade.  I reset the device and plugged it in to Itunes and restored it again.  The part that confuses me and perhaps why i didn't work last time is...Restore to new phone or Restore to my iphone back up so I always choose my phone but perhaps this doesn't bring it back to factory settings.  I just don't want to loose my contacts.  It is working now but it's probably just a matter of time before it the black and white screen come back up.  I think it;s a system update issue.  I'm going to call Apple.

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic.

  • I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen has gone completely blank.  It is fully charged and will play music but I have no idea where anything is.

    I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen is black - it is fully charged and will play music but there is nothing to be seen on the screen.  I have no idea how to fix this.  We live in France now so any of the fixes have to be in English since I can't read French.  Any advise would be greatly appreaciated.  I looked at some of the other answers but I have no idea where the Hold button would be on this.  Thanks.

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.
