IPod shows white screen or dark

My 5th generation (60gb) iPod shows a bright white screen, so I have done de steps listed in other threads, pressing center and menu buttons for a few secs, and after that the bright white screen goes gray and i push the center and play buttons. All this while plugged to macbook...and then it shows in iTunes. I have my music and I can play it, I can sync, etc...all in iTunes. I have restored it, and am running the latest iTunes software. Still my screen remains white or gray and cannot use the iPod if it's not plugged to the mac, since i can't see anything on the screen.
Any suggestions? Is this common?

well    This did not help me... The screen is still solid white and I can't get it to do anything in reference to restarting.   I can only look inside of the Ipod folder whenb my computer sees it when USB is plugged in.   Any other thoughts?

    - 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.

    I must have filled 20 bug reports at least is teh last 3-4 days (since I upgraded).
    In my early time with Apple products, I used to find one bug per month.
    Came Apple maps and that became once a day (including with wrong locations)
    Now comes iOS 7 and it is ... once every hour or more.
    I just can't believe it !!

  • Itune showing white screen(ipad3)

    itune showing white screen after upadating my iPad3 to iOS6.
    does anyone have a solution for it or facing same problem.
    seems like iOS6 has some issues better not to update.

    Quit the iTunes app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't help. reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

  • My Macbook Pro Showing White Screen At startup

    Macbook pro showing white screen after loading window

    Krishnaraj7777,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the  OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Do you get past the white screen now?
