Ipod screen goes bright, pale blue, displays vertical bars after update.

I got the notification to update to iTunes 7, did so. Ooh, snazzy interface.
I then got the notification to update my iPod's firmware, did so.
My screen is corrupted. It's extremely bright, everything is displayed in pale blue, and there are vertical stripes all the way across the screen. It's like static, almost.
I can't even think if a proper way to google this, I just get pages and pages worth of White Screen of Death, and this clearly isn't a white screen. For all the world, it looks like a broken screen.... a screen that was NOT broken before the firmware was updated.
I've tried reinstalling, I've tried resetting, I've tried rebooting. I've tried reverting to factory defaults. Nothing works.

Will backup what music I can (am at work but am gonna lost my DRM content so I can play!) and get it updated
One other thing that's not in the change log (but the regulars here know it from experience): If you're upgrading from an earlier 2.x firmware, you won't lose your music. Only those upgrading from .x (non-PlaysForSure) firmwares will lose their music.

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.

Re: Satellite M100-221: screen goes black moving the display

Hi,
I have a problem with the lcd display on toshiba satellite M100-221.
When I move the display the screen goes black.
The display works properly only when the angle is close to 90 degrees.

Hi buddy,
Im not a technician but I agree with the user above. For me it sounds like a hardware problem and you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and exchange faulty notebook parts.
You can search on the Toshiba website for nearest ASP. ;)

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

TS3694 iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7)

iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7). This error is not shown anywhere in the specific list. Have done all recommended recovery methods (reboot, update iTunes, restart iPod) to no avail. What is next?

Usually the 1303 error is in regards to a corrupted or missing backup of your iPod Touch. Try removing or moving the backups to another location and then try to restore your iPod once again.

My iPod Touch's screen has turned pale blue. Help?

My iPod Touch is still newly brought, just a few days old and whilst I was trying to charge it, the screen went to a pale blue. I tried switched it off with the "Wake/Sleep" and home button pressed together at the same time and took out the charger. After 10 seconds, it turns on with the apple logo but then, after a few seconds/minutes it turns back to pale blue. I'm going around in circles and my battery is on low charge.

It seem's that this a major problem and my best advice would be to create a meeting at your local Apple Store's Genius Bar. If you're not sure how to do this, ask me!

IPod screen goes blue

Since being returned from service my iPod click wheel's screen goes blue when using the mains charger. Nothing else shows. I do not even know if it is charging. I think perhaps not. Does anyone know how to get rid of this blue screen or what causes it?

Hey Buzzy Bee Jen,
I just got back from the Genius Bar. My problem turned out to be a bad AC adapter. They swapped it out for a new one. I asked my Genius if he's seen 'blue screen' problems before. He said that this was the first time he saw a bad power supply cause the problem, but he's seen it twice before. Both times the culprit was a piece of lint or aluminum gum wrapper stuck in the 'dock adapter' (the slot on the bottom where you plug the firewire, etc). He says this can happen when people carry the iPod around in their pocket.
Hopefully this helps you resolve your problem.

IPod screen goes black & heats up when connecting to computer - pls help!!

I posted this same question on somebody else's post but thought id post it under a different subject so someone may be able to help.
Im having a problem with my 30GB ipod in that it works fine when just listening with head phones, on my docking station or via my car stereo yet not on computer. When i connect ipod to any computer the ipod screen fades out, goes black & then the ipod becomes quite hot (more near the left hand side of control wheel) and both computer & i-tunes does not recognise it?? Does anybody have any ideas or have had the same problem and fixed it? I pod is nearly 2.5yrs old. thanks

Have you tried a different USB port or a different USB docking cable? It is also possible that the part of the iPod that charges the battery is faulty, or perhaps the battery itself. If it's a 4th gen iPod, the battery is located under the click wheel, more to the left side than to the right. I don't have a 5th gen "video" iPod, but based on the guide here
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-5th-Generation-Video/95
the battery appears to be toward the top of the iPod.
FYI - Here's the guide for the 4th gen iPod.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-4th-Generation/93
Whatever the problem, it appears to be related to charging the battery.

Screen turns bright white while display freezes? Any one know why?

The screen freezes and gets brighter and brighter until it becomes all white. If I move the screen of the laptop the display returns to normal for a brief second then starts turning white all over again. Anyone know what the problem could be?
I have already run that Hardware Test and nothing seems to be wrong...
Thanks,
Hijazirm

yes your screen interconnection has a bad bias rail
all lcd use a bias voltage supplied by the mainboard to keep it dark till its lit
and control the back light
if you have already reset the smc http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
then you should think its a physical connection problem
and perhaps is just a small flat cable needs plugged back in
the flat flashed ribbon type cables can become disjointed from there socket
or there small pads oxidise...
its a job for an apple dealer to fix the interconnections ribbon
by replacement or cleaning with a 'gold cloth' as you should use to clean the contacts on sims simms etc
and ribbon cables used in display interconnect mostly !!!
dont use any harsh methods a 'gold cloth ' is a special cloth that rough on one side smooth on the other
and has a chemical embeded to it for use on gold plate etc to clean it of crap...
and reseating the ends back to there sockets
its defo a job for an apple store etc...

Primary screen goes dark when external display is added

Hi,
Earlier, when I was on Mac Lion, I always used to face problems whenever an external Monitor was added to the Mac through the firewire to VGA converter port.
Hoping that Mavericks update would give me a respite from the issue, I upgraded my Mac Pro and to my utter shock, the issue has got magnified in mavericks. The primary screen goes completely dark whenever I add the external monitor.
Any idea how to overcome this issue ?
Thanks in advance !

I meant the mini Display Port intead i wrote firewire port.. Hope it doesn't confuse anyone !
