Why has my ipod touch screen gone white?

please help me?? why has my ipod touch screen gone all white?? can not do anything with it at all...

Try the white-screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
If not successful, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hor try the suggestion in the link again.

Ipod touch screen is dimmed and won't brighten

i turned my ipod touch on one day and it was fine then the next thing i knew was the screen dimmed like it does before it goes into it's lock mode, but when i push the menu or power button the screen stays dimmed and i have tried several things to brighten the screen but nothing works. can anyone help me with this problem because i can't use my ipod touch anymore now?

- Double tap the screen with three fingers and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Zoom and Voice over too if you want.
- Alternately, you can connect to your syncing computer and go to the Summary pane. Click on Configure Universal Acess and turn off Zoom and Voice Over (if you wish).

Ipod touch screen very dim wont light up

I can tell the ipod touch first generation is working. I can see the icons but the screen wont light up.Its very dim like when it going to sleep.

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely the backlight or it driver circuits. It might not be worth getting a 1G iPod fixed:

IPOD CLASSIC SCREEN IS DIM, CANNOT BRIGHTEN

I have an iPOD Classic and the screen has become dim, as if no backlight. Yes, I turned the backlight on and set the backlight timer correctly. Good Battery too. Also did the 5 R's including the complete Restore, but no change. Is the Display itself bad? Or is it a logic board? Classic is an 80 Gb. All else works, except you need to hold a flashlight to the screen to read it. Please help

Hello there,
It is hard to say at this point. A toss up you might say. Could be the backlight itself or just a bad connection. And it also sounds like you have done your part in trying to diagnose and repair the problem with what solutions are available. If you still have a warranty, I would recommend taking full advantage of it. Otherwise, I think your best bet would be to send it into a third party repair service to have them diagnose the exact problem as well as repairing the device if you wished so.
There are numerous third party businesses out there who offer repair jobs for iPods as well as diagnostics tests (some even for free) for the iPod. Just do a simple google search for "ipod repair parts" and you should receive a plethora of sites that can help you. I would also recommend doing a little bit of shopping around research to find the most affordable and qualifying deal.
Here are a few:
[iPodJuice|http://www.ipodjuice.com/apple-ipod-repair.htm]
[RapidRepair|http://www.rapidrepair.com>
[KingiPod|http://www.kingipod.com>
[ifixit|www.ifixit.com] is a website that offers replacment parts as well as excellent step-by-step instructions on how to replace the part yourself.
Hope this helps.

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

My ipod nano 6th generation turns off after she tells me the screen is dimming than ipod goes off.

I wanted to know if there is someone at Apple that can give me some guidance on how to use my ipod nano 6th generation. I am not sure if I am working it properly or if there is something wrong with it.
I cannot get back to home page; I shut it off and on and it just stays on same page. I cannot take the voice constantly interrupting the song or functions;
When you set an album in play it will just play the first song over and over never going to next song. The genius interrupts and starts randomly playing different songs; when you select a song the voice comes and and tells you the screen is dimming and then seconds later it turns off.
I have tried to read the directions put the ipod won't allow me to follow.
Please help!

Is VoiceOver turned on? See here for more help on how to turn it off if need be.

Ipod Screen in Dim

My ipod's screen is dark even when the battery is fully charged. I can hardly read the screen which makes it pretty hard to use when working out which is when I use it the most. I have checked the settings on the Ipod many times and I have the Brightness turned up as far as it can go. Changing the brightness has no effect on the screen. I have also tried to restore all the factory settings with no avail. The screen is too dark. The Ipod seems to function correctly otherwise. I do think this may be a problem with the battery because I have noticed that the battery doesn't hold a charge as well as it used to. I figured the unit was just getting old. Can this be fixed and is it worth it or should I just junk it?

I also experience this isue. Also my IPOD nano 8GB seems to have an issue with complying to shut down etc. Some small pressure on the back of it (like if you place it on a table) will make it go on again (even though Hold is on). When on it has Dimmed light.
As it is not turned of correctly, it does not hold battery very long.
I have had this Ipod for more than 2 years.
It has never behavied in this manor before, but I suspect a resent upgrade to latest firmware to might have something to do with it.
Will investigate.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

How do you get AirPlay on ipod touch

My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white. It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it. Can anyone help please

My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it. I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white. Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.
