IPod touch 2G stuck on white screen

I can't get it to go back to the home screen. It has a white screen on the display, but the home button does not work. When I push the on/off button with the home button, it makes the sound of a camera shutter taking a photo. How do I get my Touch out of this mode??? Thanks in advance...

Tricky. Thanks for the assist. I ended up resetting to factory standards from iTunes and reinstalling all music and apps. Took a bit longer than pressing and holding I bet....

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
    There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

    after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen. I have done this several times. One time, the display went to the home screen, but immediately went back to the white screen when I plugged it into the charge cord. The music continued to play however. help!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen.

    My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen.  I've followed all the troubleshooting tips - turning off (hard to tell when all you see is white), hard reset, and restore.  I updated to the latest software versions.  Itunes recognizes the ipod.  I restored it.  Nothing changed.  Still have the white screen.  It hasn't been mishandled - no cracked screen, no water, hasn't been dropped.  Any other suggestions or is it time to call Apple?

    If you have done al the hardware troubleshooting, call Apple to get it serviced.

  • Ipod touch is frozen with white screen

    My daughters ipod touch just froze. The screen is lit up white and can do nothing.  I tried holding the on/off and home button at the same time for at least 15 seconds and it still wont restart. I also tried charging it for several hours and nothing.  Any ideas?

    You have to let the battery drain. After it is drained and the screen shuts off, THEN charge it back up.

  • Help! The screen on my iPod Touch is stuck on white!

    Well I was having problems with the volume control, and then the whole thing just crashed. It still strangely plays music, but the screen is white. What do I do?

    Mine froze on a white screen today. Just before it did it, it went onto the Clock screen (Don 't know wy it was on clock, I may have just touched it bt accident, I had just gone back to the home screen from Calendar) a pop up appeared with a mini music display, there was a play button, forward/back buttons, track details, volume control and 2 buttons underneath, entitled 'CLOSE' and 'MUSIC', I can't remember which order I pressed the buttons, the first one did nothing, the second changed it from the Clock page to the Album listing page, but still with the same pop up screen on top .
    Pressing the Home button didn't take me back to the home screen, it did nothing. It then went to a white screen and all I could do was sleep and wake it. I held down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for a long time, the Silver Apple logo appeared and sat there for a couple of minutes, and then it was back to normal.
    My wife's identical iPod did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, we didn't get it as far as doing this re-set (didn't hold the buttons long enough?) so to save time we docked it and re-set it via iTunes. This worked fine, and iTunes backed it all up before re-setting, then put it all back as it was, though this took longer than re-setting using Home and Sleep/Wake buttons.
    Both iPods are 10 weeks old and on the 2.2 firmware. I may call support as they are still inside the 90 day period.
