Ipod stuck on white screen of death cant get to itunes because i cant type in password

my ipod touch is stuck on the white screen of death and i cannot wipe it and reload ios because in order to hook it to itunes i have to put in my pass and i cant see anything!!! I tried holding the power button and the home key it goes off bthen back to white screen then goes off and stays off.. this also occurs when i hold the home key + power button+ volume up button. I have no idea what to do any help would be greatly apperciated....

You have to let the battery drain. It should do this fairly quickly since displaying a white screen uses battery. The battery's dead when the screen shuts off, and this will force it to power off. Charge it up and it should power back on.

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try:
    - A reset.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect to computer and try to retore.
    - If the screen remains white and you can't trun it off then it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You very likely have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen. is stuck on white screen of death.

    I recentally had dropped my ipod touch and when i picked it up it was stuck on the white screen of death. I tried to hard restart by holding down the power and home button at the same time, but the screen would only turn off then come right back on. Then i let the power drain. After it would no longer turn on i put it on the charger to find that the white screen would pop right back up. I didnt want to restore it but because its my only option i put it on my compute but itunes couldnt acess it because i had a passcode on it. is there a differnt way to restore it or fix it?  HELLLPPP MEEEE!

  • IPod nano 4th gen stuck on White Screen of Death

    So recently my iPod of 4 years has gotten the white screen of death.
    I tried doing the restarting. You know. hold the on/off button then hold MENU and SELECT. Nothing. It just blinks the white screen off and then on.
    Interest to note: I use my ipod nano in the shower (with dock). Maybe the steam from the shower had something to do with it?
    Anyway, thank you.

    I should note that I CAN still use this ipod. I can play songs on it EVEN while my screen is white. Also, when I plug it into my Win7 (32-bit), the iTunes (latest version 1.0.4) recgonizes my ipod and play the songs/playlist from it.

  • IPod stuck on white screen

    I turned my iPod on today and the screen is all white with no text and I can't get it to change, turn off, or do anything except display a totally white screen. When I plugged it into iTunes it told me that the iPod is corrupted and I need to restore it but when I tried to restore factory settings it ended in failure because "the requested resource wasn't available."
    Whats wrong with my iPod and how do i fix it?

    This is the same problem I have...it asks you to restore it and if you restore it, you lose all your songs and stuff, right?
    Actually, the problem I had is kind of different...mine wouldn't turn on. I guess I was out of battery anway.

  • IPod stuck with white screen?

    Hi, my daughter was playing a game on her iPod touch and suddenly the screen went white.
    I can't turn it of nor does it respond to anything. HELP!?!?
    Misha

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appears.
    You may want to do a restore using iTunes after this or avoid having too many Apps open at once while she plays that specific game.
    Hope that helps Mishab :]

  • My ipod touch 4g got the wsod(white screen of death)

    My Ipod got the white screen of death and now I can't figure out how to fix it. I don't have a warrenty so im keeping that as a last resort and I'm like 90% sure its a hardware problem not software. I also can't enter DFU mode because it won't respond or Turn it off WHAT DO I DO!

    All you can if it is not a hardare problem is to let the battery fully drain. Then after charging fofr atleast an hour try the rest, restore and recovery mode as required.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is your iPod showing the White Screen?
    Can you get your iPod into Disk Mode?
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    After you get it into Disk Mode, try to restore it (after you get iTunes working).
    See if this helps with iTunes not opening...
    iTunes won't open or unexpectedly quits
    You may also want to post/look through the iTunes forums.
