IPod screen is white blank when I restart it.No apple logo.updaterwontrecog

I unplugged my iPod video while it was still downloading a video. It instantly erased all my music and videos. Everything was gone, but the iPod showed that there was still memory taken by something, so I thought that the music was still there but it had a glitch or something. I downloaded the appropriate Updater from apple.com. I started to restore it, but then thought better of it and unplugged the iPod again, thinking my music was still on it and that instead of restoring it, I should just update it. Now, it's REALLY screwed up. The screen is white when I restart it. There's no apple logo. And it makes noises. Three beeps. I really need help! Is there something I can do to fix it? Or should I just send it in to Apple. I've only had it a little over 3 months and I have over 200 days left on my warranty. Thankfully, I can backup all the music and videos if my iPod ever starts working again. PLEASE HELP ME!!

You messed it up by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

Ipod Screen Is White And Power Button Jammed

My Ipod Screen Turned White(blank) And My Power Button Is Jammed What Do I Do?

You can let your battery drain and take it to an Apple store near where you live.

My ipod touch screen went white and when i plug it into my computer....nothing happens. help!

I went to turn on my iPod Touch one day and the screen went white. Tried resetting and got nothing. Tried plugging in to usb port and got nothing. Neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my device. What do I do now?

By resetting did you see the apple logo? Try pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank (black) and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reset.

- 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.

My iPod screen is white and keeps turning back on white

My iPod Touch screen has gone white, I am able to turn it off and sometimes use the touch screen but it always comes back white even when I restart it. I have tried to turn it off which I am able to but the screen comes back white. I sometimes can use the touch screen but I can't see what I'm touching. This happened after I dropped my iPod. My iPod is 4th generation, not jail broken or anything. The screen has had a problem of not sticking to the interieur of the iPod ever since I had to replace the cracked screen. What could I do to get it back to the way it was?

I wanted to restore my ipod touch 4G, but everytime it is restoring with the apple logo, the screen goes partially white and my itunes says "error 9"... what should i do?

plz answer me~

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

IPod Screen Is White? Nothing working!

My iPod's battery died and so I connected it to my iPod dock which recharges and the screen went white. When I press the on/off button the screen goes a light shade of black. Press it again, white. Pressing home makes it go white again. No error message, just white or light shade of black. HELP!

- After charging for a couple of hours have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to connect to a computer and try to restore the iPod. If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Clips don't play back - screen is white/blank.

Hey... can anyone help with this problem? I thought I'd try here before calling anyone. I don't know how this happened because I don't think I did anything or changed any settings. When I open up iMovie HD and record a clip and then try to play it back, the playback screen is white (blank). The marker at the bottom (i.e. the thing that shows what position the clip is in) moves forward normally, as if the clip is playing, but you see nothing. The still image of the clip shows up fine in the clips section on the right, but the actual clip won't play. HOWEVER, if I go to edit the clip, like add special effects or whatever, it WILL play while I'm messing around with the effects (though obviously the sound doesn't play). So I know the clip, y'know, isn't a figment of my imagination. :P
Anyone know what the **** this is about? Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

(i.e. the thing that shows what position the clip is in) FFR this is the play head.
Yes, Apple can. First you need to tell them about it and report the bug.
Subject: I/O API. iMovie
http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
If you can confirm the Quartz effects as working please report this as a Bug in iMovie Feedback.
Notice below I did say preview. This is something that has stuck out as it is easily replicable and very odd.
"A glance across all the Apple boards and you can tie everything into this new API as it is the root. QT is a major part but I don't believe it is a problem other than being at a higher degree of accuracy tan in the past, i.e. the Quartz effects in iMovie preview fine.
So no it is not a figment of your imagination. Please report it.
Its all about the I/O API.
Thanks

My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.

Can someone please help with my issue listed - My ipod 4G wont go past the apple logo when I turn it on - it will stay on the apple logo for few min, then blanks out and back to the apple logo. Tried reset option/troubleshoot several times. Also wont show up on computer at all when I plug in to USB.
Any tips are very much appreciated.

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similar to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the latest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a service centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it) Or go into an Apple Store.

Try the not-charging topic of:

It could be that the battery is dead.
