IPod screen blank when turned on

When I turn on my iPod classic all I get is white when I should get the menu or the now playing screen. I've tried hooking it up to iTunes, resetting it, and restoring it. When I reset it, it's the same but it shows up grey. The blacklight still goes off after 5 seconds because that's how I have it set, but there's nothing on the screen, it's all just white or grey.
Any help here?

hi ,
I' been trying everything and nothing, in gets recognized by itunes I can restore it even sync works, the only thing is missing seems to be the screen that stays white or gray all the time.
Is it the famous white screen of death? help please.

MacBook Pro screen blank when turned on

So my MacBook Pro was working about 1 hour ago when I had left it on to do an update for one of my games on my desktop and I would think it would go to sleep. My MacBook Pro 17 inches 2007 model and I would think that when I got back home and opened my computer that it would awaken from sleep. This is where it gets weird the bottom half of my computer is on but the screen is turned of, I now that the computer is on since the light on the button you press to open the MacBook Pro is on. So if any one can help me I would be entirely grateful. So I have tried to restart it and that didn't work. I even looked up online if this had happened to other people and it has and I have tried restarting my MacBook Pro on safe mode by pressing the shift key and that didn't work. Then I tried restarting the PRMA and that didn't work. The same thing has happened to my sisters computer which is an identically MacBook Pro like this one in every way and she sent it to apple and they said that you have a bad logic bouts and now they have to replace and those are very expensive and I am just hoping that I don't have that problem with my MacBook Pro. So if any one can help please. Ohh my computer runs osx but I think it's to the most updated osx but not mountain lion. If anyone needs anymore information about my computer to help me fix this problem I will gladly give you more info thanks and please help.

Booting into Safe Mode can take a long, long time... how long did you allow?
It really sounds as if you've a hardware problem. You say that you're not running Mountain Lion, but you don't say which version of OS X you're running. If Lion, you can try booting to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. If you're not running Lion, get the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your computer and try booting from the first disc.
If you can't boot into Safe Mode, Recovery partition or using an original disc, you're just going to have to take your computer into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run tests on the machine. You could try running the Apple Hardware Test yourself, but given your symptoms, I'm not sure that you'll be able to do that.
Good luck,

Stop screen blanking when projector connected?

Hey all,
Is there a way to stop screen blanking when a projector is connected? I often leave my MBP connected to a projector, and it gets annoying having to move the mouse every few minutes to keep the projector screen going.
Thanks!

What you are experiencing is probably your computer trying to start up its Screen Saver or putting the display to sleep. You can disable both of these in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences.

Screen blinking when turning on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro after recent update.

Just did the recent software update and my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro 13" when turning on the screen blinks until the computer is rebooted/restarted. Have never had a problem before. Of course, my Apple Care just expired the end of June 2014. Is anyone else having a problem?

IPod (3G) reboots when turned on (often)

wondering if anyone has had a similiar issue and if they have any advice (either to fix or to send back to Apple to be fixed):
if i let the iPod sit for a day or so without being used or charged, when i turn it on it will reboot. the iPod still works perfectly, but it will always reboot itself when turned on.
this usually does not happen (or happens less) if i use it more frequently (less time sitting unused) or multiple times in one day.

I see, "deep sleep mode"...
makes sense.
looks like this has been addressed previously in the boards, but i didn't know to search for "deep sleep mode". tried a bunch of other search combo's, but none worked...
thanks.

White screen at when turning iPod on

When my iPod nano 2nd generation has been off for long enough (like 15 mins) and when I turn it back on, I get a completely white screen: it does it consistently. The iPod is on and I can hear the click when I use it. If I turn the iPod off again by holding the play/pause button long enough abnd turn it back on again, then the display is fine and shows me the menu. Anybody encountered the same problem? I did the 5 R's and restored the iPod twice (once resyncing my songs, and once not resyncing because I am planning to bring it back to Apple). I am very disappointed: I have waited 9 months since my birthday in January for a 8G iPod and just got this iPod yesterday. Now I have to bring it back to the store and I hope they will exchange it straight away: I am not willing to wait any more longer to be able to use a $261 iPod (with taxes).

iPod nano 2nd generation

This has happened to me twice since I got my ipod this saturday. I noticed that it only did it when I had turned the ipod off while I was fooling around the the photo slideshows. If i hit menu twice then turned the ipod off it came back fine. It hasn't happened constantly with me but I would imagine that if it continues happening alot I will take it back to the store. For me, it would be a hard thing to prove.
Hope I've helped abit.

IPod screen not working / turning itself on and on by itself

Yesterday I took my iPod outside as normal and tried to use the touchscreen to play music. It did not react when my fingers touched the screen. The buttons on the top and the bottom were working normally, but when I could not for example use my fingers to unlock the iPod as it did not react.
About an hour later I could manage to move the 'unlock' button half way across the screen but the top half and the bottom right do not react to my fingers. This morning it keeps doing the same, but now it keeps turning itself on and off and music occasionally plays by itself and the only way I can stop it is resetting it.
Any ideas what I can do?

A corrupted program or a program that is not compatable with your device is doing this. To fix:
To fix this what we need to do is hard reset your device. The instructions to do that is here http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 this tells you how to do all types of resets. Also, what we need to do is rename your backup folder. What this folder is, it hold all your programs from the last time you synced your PC. On your computer go here My Computer--> C drive --> Program files --> Palm/PalmOne--> your hotsync user name --> and right click on your backup folder and rename it to "backup.old" Resync your device to the same user name and you will get all your contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos.
You can install the programs again but make sure they are compatible with the device. Also try one program again and wait 24 hours to see if the same thing happens again. This way you know what program is causing the issue.

Mac Pro Screen Blank When Started

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 running 10.7.5. I turned off my computer. When I went to turn it back on all I am getting is a blank screen. No apple logo or moving wheel. I have a bootable hard drive, so I tried to reboot holding down the option key. Blank screen.
Now what?

YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE WHAT GRAPHIC CARD YOU USE.
Because the first suggestion is X1900, OEM 7300GT, 8800GT are all due for upgrade/replacement.
Do yourself a favor the ATI 5770 from Apple works well for us and 10.7.5.
You could also use Lion Recovery Mode / pull your hard drive and boot from a bootable clone backup (because you know about and learned to do that years ago with SuperDuper or CCC or one of the other programs).
Dust, heat, old FBDIMMs, graphic cards that literally do give up and die.

IPod screen blank white - PLEASE HELP!

I got a new iPod touch yesterday, and today the screen just went blank. Just white. I've tried turning it off, I've restored it, but nothing works. the shops are closed (as is apple support) because it's Christmas, and I'd really like it to work soon, so if you have any ideas they would be much appreciated.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
