Ipod Touch 4g turned to blue screen after IOS6 Update?
So my ipod said I could update to IOS6, but I had to plug it in first. I did and updated then set it out of the way to be on my laptop. When I checked on it all it showed was a bright blue, almost turqoise screen and won't respond to any buttons I press. It won't show up on my itunes anymore. I've tried plugging it in and then replugging it, but that hasn't changed anything. I don't know what else to do. I have a 8gb 4th generation ipod touch if that helps.
Not uncommon problem. Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

My ipod touch wont turn on, The screen is black and i tried to plug it inot my computer and it still wont turn on.. Can someone help me ?.
After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
- 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 try restoring the iPod via iTunes. You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod. For recovery mode see:

My Ipod Touch is showing a Blue Screen
I was in the middle of playing an app on my Ipod touch when it froze and went to a blue screen.
I have tried the resest tips listed in the community as well as trying to force the device into a DFU with no luck. I know some have said to let the battery die completely, charge and try again so that is being pursued. i live a considerable drive away from my nearest apple store so i'm looking to see if there is anything else i can try or should try before i make an appointment and make the trip to the Apple Store. This is a fairly new device and was about to upgraded to the IOS6 software today but was stopped due to the blue screen.
if there are any sucessful tip/pointers/suggestions before i have to take it in and order a repair that would be much appreciated!!!Try:

My Ipod touch wont turn on and screen just flashes black?
my ipod touch hasnt been working lately. I was at the beach and the battery died but we didnt have any chargers so i waited untill we got home to plug it in. When i did the ipod got really messed up and it would just turn off when i unplugged it. So i tried to restore it and when it started it said preparing ipod for restore and the screen would just turn off and start flashing a black screen. Ive tried regular and DFU restore but nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is truely broken?

New ipod touch is stuck on blue screen with aple logo
I plugged in my new apple ipod touch to my computer and on my itune screen a box popped up and said, "new update available for ipod touch" so i clicked accept and then it said that it was updating and everything and the screen of my ipod turned a blue/black color and had the Apple logo on it. Then a bar came up right underneath the Apple logo and it started to fill in, but it was filling in very slow. I thought that the update came up because i had just downloaded some things from the apps store to my itunes on my computer, so i thought it was putting it on my touch. It has been stuck on the blue/black screen with the Apple logo and completely filled bar for a long time and it has not changed once.
sound just like me ANYONE HAVE A GODFORSAKEN ANSWER TO THIS PROB?

IPod Touch is stuck on loading screen after slide to unlock. HELP!
So, my iPod touch 4G is stuck on the loading screen after i unlock it. Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem. Just had my iTouch in less than a week! Help please! thank you
- First try a reset. Nothing is lost:
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.
- Next connect to computer and restore if you can.
- If the loading screen still shows, let the batter fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again. -
My iPod touch crashes to the home screen after every song.
I recently updated my iTunes and the first time I connected my iPod to iTunes it worked fine.
I connected my iPod for a second time last night and now it says it doesn't recognize the usb device and that another iPod with iOS was connected to this computer or something like that. Now it asks me if I want to restore it.
I didn't restore it, but since I've then, my iPod crashes to the home screen after each and every song.
It plays one song, starts another, and crashes.
Please Help!!Hi,

Hi marston44,
It sounds as if you have experienced an issue with updating the operating system on your iPhone. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

IPod touch won't connect to computer after failed update?????
A few days ago, I had received a new cable to update my iPod touch from Amazon. This cable is not made by Apple. I have had two cables in the past from Apple, one that came with my 1st Generation Nano and one that came with my iPod touch. The former cable is the older version of the cable, while the latter is the newer version. A year ago the newer cable that came with the iPod touch broke. So I bought a new one from Apple. Then that one broke in June. Because I did not want to spend any money on a new one, I just used my old cable. It worked for a while until it stopped functioning. I have not updated my iPod touch until recently when I had purchased this new cable (which looks like the older version of the cable). It had updated my sister's 4 year old Video iPod and my 1st generation Nano. When I had plugged in my iPod touch with this new cable, my Compaq Presario V6000 laptop said it was syncing the iPod. But on the iPod screen it was saying the opposite. It was allowing me to use my iPod while Syncing it. Recently it has been doing that, when this iPod was brand new it was saying syncing, cancel to unsync. Now here is where the problem with my iPod has occured. So on the sync page on iTunes it said that there was a new update ready for my iPod. So I clicked update and allowed iTunes to download the software, extract the old software, and back it up. But in the middle of backing it up, it said my iPod was disconnected from my computer. When it was clearly connected to my laptop. I unconnected my iPod and reconnected. Now it said it was connected. It said I had to restore my iPod to its original settings and while it was doing so, it said that my iPod had disconnected again, while it was clearly plugged into the computer. Now my iPod won't even update at all. And every time I press the hold button it shows the symbol for itunes and the cable, meaning that I should be connecting to itunes, even though it is hooked up to the computer but not being recognized. The cable works though, because right after this I had updated my Nano to see if the cable was broken. I forgot to mention that similar problems with connecting and disconnecting occurred with the other plugs to, but not to this extent. Can anybody please help me solve this problem? Could it be the cord? My ipod? My laptop(I would say that it is my laptop's fault, seeing that it is a piece of garbage. But I tried connecting my iPod to my sister's macbook pro and it did not work either)? Would you recommend me to just bring my ipod, the new cable, and my laptop to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and ask them in person??
*Sorry if some of the wording does not make sense. If you need any other information ask me. I want this solved as soon as possible.*Could there be a problem that is happening to my ipod right now that is not associated with a usb cable problem? I want to avoid buying a new cable until I eliminate all other problems that I could have. If it is not a cable problem I don't want to spend money on something that is not necessary at the moment.
By the way, by following your advice with my current cable, iTunes recognized my iPod, and said you must restore this iPod before you can use it with iTunes. I clicked on restore. It extracted the software and once that was done it said Preparing iPod for restoring. It started to do it but then it said "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (13)." -
MBP flashing blue screen after software updates
This morning, my 2011 MBP 17" 2.2GHz i7 (running 10.6.8 with all updates) suddenly started flashing between whatever I was doing, and a light blue screen every few seconds. (The same light blue screen that you get briefly when switching users and starting up). If I restarted, after a random period of a few minutes, the problem would return.
Things kept going during the blue periods (ie keystrokes worked, downloads continued etc)
I tried repairing the disc and permissions. I kept getting certain incorrect permissions coming up, which were related to coreimage IIRC. They were reported as being fixed, but as soon as I ran it again, the same errors came up.
Tried numerous restarts and repairs to no avail. Zapped the PRAM. Ended up reinstalling OSX from the original install discs (10.6.6), and the problem went away. I then did the first software update that came up, which was the 10.6.8 combo and a few other bits and pieces. Used the machine for a few hours with no problems.
I then ran software update again, which was:
Thunderbolt update 1.0;
Safari update 5.1.2;
Security Update 2011-006;
Java 10.6 update 6
The problem reappeared almost immediately, so I'm putting it down to one of those four updates. I'm leaning towards Safari, because on each occasion I got the blinking blue screen, safari was open (although in the background at least once). I'm also pretty sure that I updated Safari (alone) the night before the problems started.
Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: I should add that my MacPro isn't having this issue, and it has all the same updates installed except for Safari (still running 5.1.1).I turned graphic card switching back on and ran the latest Safari off and on using youtube etc. with no problems. It used the HD 3000 card all the time for me. I have all the latest updates for 10.6.8 installed on my Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro. I've updated all my applications to eliminate the need for Rosetta. If the problem returns, do a safe mode startup (shift key and power key) and then a re-start to re-built your startup cache. You may have a startup item that's giving you a problem or one of your applications may be running in the back ground even after you quit it. Also, the permission errors never seem to go away no matter how often you run the repair permissions. This doesn't seem to mean anything. These "blue screen" problems probably have to do with with the Apple updates required to transition to Lion. Lion doesn't use Rosetta and you can't run power PC apllications. We had something that worked and Apple screwed it up.
