IPod screen went away after updating to 1.3

wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year of 2009!
i have an ipod 5th gen 30gb (model number a1136), which i use very sparingly. i have had it since 2005. today i connected it to my computer which has itunes 8. itunes asked me to update the software on the ipod to version 1.3. i do not remember very well, i just have a hunch that my ipod originally had 1.2.1 version.
as soon as the update was done, itunes gave me a message that the ipod will restart. after that, my ipod went for a toss. i see some coloured stripes, mostly white screen. itunes recognises the ipod, and i can even hear the clicking when i use the click wheel. the screen brightness goes high and low as it would when it used to work.
please help me fix this issue. thanking in anticipation...
regards.

chris,
restore did not work. i followed the 5 R's. the display remained white, with vertical coloured lines.
regards.

  • 4s screen went black after updating to iOS 8.2

    So i updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 8.2 and the screen just went black after that. The phone is on but nothing appears to the screen and booting doesnt help. What should i do?

    Try waiting about 30 - 60 minutes to make sure that it isn't just the software being installed. After that, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for 10 - 20 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • My backround on the new tab page is gone. The boxes are there but I mean the actual background. It went away after updating an I wanna fix it.

    After updating my Firefox, the background for my new tabs page is gone. The boxes are there. But the rest of the screen is just plain white and I dont know how to fix it.

    The background on my new tabs page is white - actually bright grey, which is evidently the default. For changing colors used see
    [[Change the fonts and colors websites use]]
    Check the '''Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above.''' If unchecked, so only boxes without any content are shown.

  • Ipod Screen Stays White After Update

    After I updated to 4.2, I turned on my iPod. It seemed to start up like normal, with the little apple logo, but then it went right to sleep. Now, every time I push a button, it only shows a white screen for 5 seconds and then goes back to sleep mode. It somehow is still fully recognized by my mac, though.
    Any suggestions?

    I would download the firmware and install it manually (by holding your Option key down in iTunes when clicking on Restore) and select the downloaded file.

    Clearly, it's not inexpensive.  You might wish to try a few things yourself.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • HELP! iPod no longer works after update

    I've been using my 20gb clickwheel ipod without incident for a year now, my last update had been iTunes 5 and hadn't updated my iPod recently either (why bother..it worked fine?).
    I wanted to purchase music from the iTunes music store, but it wouldn't let me unless I upgraded to iTunes 6 and updated my iPod. OK - so I did that- upgraded iTunes to 6.0.1 and updated tghe iPod using the latest updated dated 2005-10-12. Then the horror begins.
    On the first attempted synch post update - my iPod screen turned into a folder/exclamation point icon and stopped working. I tried resetting by holding down the center button and menu..it restarted and went back to the same folder/exclamation point icon. No luck.
    I've tried restoring it repeatedly and then synching my library back to the now clean and restored iPod and it stops synching at different points and crashes (after 31 songs - crash iTunes - iPod freezes on the "Do not disconnect" screen - strange clicking noise - restore - try again - 58 songs...same... restore ..again...45 songs.. you get the picture).
    It worked fine BEFORE the update except I couldn't purchase music. There has been NO change except installing the updates (it hasn't been jostled, dropped or anything). What can I do? The update killed my iPod?!!!! I am at my wits end!!!!!!
    -Tory

    OK..I've tried many things and my iPod is still hosed after updating. I upgraded my Mac to Tiger. I was told that the there might be some issues with synching using firewire with the new update - so I bought a USB cable and tried synching with that.
    I have the same issue as before. I can restore the iPod, but when I start synching my music from Itunes back to the blank, restored iPod - it synches up anywhere from 20-200 songs and then freezes (spinning beach ball on one song halfway synched for an hour - then force quit iTunes - and start all over again: restore, synch, crash).
    You know, I got burned by the 1st generation 5gb iPod battery issue, then the headphone jack stopped working on my 2nd generation, now my monochrome clickwheel iPod freaks out after Apple forces me to update so I can get my paid music back (it removed, yes, REMOVED my purchased songs because I was still using an older version of iTunes - when I updated to 6 I got them back - how Microsoft is THAT?).
    I am really losing my faith in Apple's ability to make a quality product.I am despondent. If anyone has any advice - I would be most grateful...

  • My Game Center went away after the last back-up. How do I get it back?

    My Game Center went away after the last back-up. How do I get it back?

    It's on your iPad somewhere. It cannot be deleted.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

  • IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

    IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?  What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

    With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
    Could be : The battery
                    The charger
                   The phone itself
    You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
    -If you have an extra battery, test it.
    -Try another charging cable or another outlet
    If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything.  Then restoring it. Time varies.
    If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

  • HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

    Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • IPod screen went white

    My ipod screen went white and it says i should go into recovery mode but it wont let me do those steps after i hold the home and button at the top it wont go to the slide to power off can someone help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Imac screen went dark after power interruption any suggestions?

    My son's imac screen went dark after a power interupption (someone turning the computer off by pulling cord out of electric socket) and I can't get it to go back on.  I've already tried depressing the "command, alt,p and r" keys to get a restart, and while it did restart, still no picture on the screen.  Occasionally you can see white staticy lines, but mostly it is just dark.   I've seen the suggestions to update software and back up data but that isn't possible as far as I can tell because I can't see anything on the screen - it is totally dark!  Any suggestions?  He is coming home from a trip today and hasn't had any access to computer for some time - he is going to freak

    First try iMac SMC and PRAM reset, please do each of them 2x. If that does not work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. You did not mention the version of OS X running on the machine, if you are running Snow Leopard then install the Snow Leopard disc in the SuperDrive and restart, when you hear the start up tone hold down the Option key and start from the SL disc and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions & Repair Disk.

    Thank you for the advice Randy. Very helpful of you to jump in with a post that adds so much value for the OP.
    A bit of advice for you as a new user. Please refrain from making assumptions and using hyperbole. Both get in the way of providing useful support. Not "everyone" has tried the basics, let alone know what they are. That's why they're here. These first steps in troubleshooting often fix the issue being asked. If this thread doesn't answer your question, move on and find one that does. Feel free to skip the thousands that advise a reset.

    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.
