My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio. When I take it out, it goes blank. Why can I do?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio. When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank. The battery shows fully charged. It appears that the battery is no longer charging. What should I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

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.
- 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.

HT1459 4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Preventing iPod touch screen from going blank when iPod's powered.

Hi there, is there anyway (or app) to prevent the iPod touch's screen from going blank/turning off?
This is why I ask...
I often use my iPod touch as my remote, where I choose which of my iMac's iTunes songs to play next and besides I'm always revising/updating the songs' ratings. My iPod has a password to unlock and so, doing what I just said often can be bothersome. I've found out that, if the iPod's own music is playing when connected to the power, the screen never goes blank, it only dims, which is very helpful but, since I'm not listening to the iPod, I always have to turn the iPod's volume all the way down. Also this increments the number of plays to all those songs played back which is something I don't like either and so, again my question is, does anybody know if there is any way or app that, when the iPod's connected to power, only dimmed the screen (but not allow it to go blank)?
Hope you can help.
Thanks.
Jorge...

Go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and set time to never. If you have a corporate exchange mail account on the iPod that may prevent using never (Never not present).

Ipod screen flashes then goes blank

My iPod initially flashes, when turning on. You can see the time, or the apple, but it then goes blank. I don't believe the LCD screen is shot, or it wouldn't flash. How do I fix it?

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

TS1382 My iPod works properly if only connected to my PC - disconnected it goes blank. Is this and old battery issue?

My iPod works properly only if connected to the USB port on my PC, unplugged it goes blank and stops working. Is this an old battery issue?

Yes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

IPod keeps blinking the Apple sign then going blank.

I was attempting to turn on my iPod, but it wouldn't come on. So I plugged it into my computer's USB port. Now it's just blinking the Apple logo, then going blank. I've tried closing iTunes, unplugging then re-plugging it, holding in the Home button, pretty much anything I can think of! Any suggestions or answers?

Welcome to the discussions,
does your device charge using the wall adapter? If yes, let it charge for at least 20min, then connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

When I click on my Messages app I can see it for a brief moment and then the screen goes blank. This happened to me last week and I Reset All Settings, which worked-but it has just happened again so that's not a long-term solution.

6280 Time and date reset screen goes blank

Whenever I turn my 6280 off at night when I switch it on the next morning the time goes back to 00:00 and the date doesnt change automatically. Called up 3 and they werent much help at all just said to switch auto update of date and time on which I did and it didnt make any difference!!!! Has anyone else had any probs like this?
Also my phone occasionally cuts out either when I am on the internet or just when I am using it. The screen goes blank and then after a couple of seconds it comes back again. Apparently there is a firmware upgrade for the phone and the version I have at the moment is 3.36 does anyone have any idea where I can get this from??
