IPod touch 4th generation white screen

What to do or how to fix a white screen on a 4th gen iPod touch 8 gig?

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."

  • My iPod touch 4th generation's screen is part white but,my iPod still works but I can see only part of the screen.Does this mean part of my screen is broken? Or is there a way to easily fix this? If so please tell me how to fix it.

    I need help on knowing how to fix my iPod touch's screen.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for &199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

  • New iPod touch 4th generation (white) just got friday 11/25/11

    Does anyone have a problem with the new iPod touch 4th gen, screen. My white one almost looks like it has a sepia layer above it, and the icons do not look as clear as the older black one's (4g), is this probably because i didnt buy it from apple?

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.
    However, from your description it is harder to understand what your problem is.

  • My iPod Touch 4th generation's screen is still white. Could somebody please help me?

    My iPod touch currently has iOS 5.1.1. When I was about to use my iPod touch for music yesterday (05/30/12), I saw my iPod touch's screen was pure blank. The only sound my iPod touch makes is the voice control and there were no open apps. Also, there was only music on my iPod touch before the screen was blank at the time and there aren't any broken parts. It is not Jailbroken and I had my iPod touch since last August. My iPod  touch still has a white screen. I drained out my ipod touch's battery and it did not turn back on back to normal, the screen was still white. When I restarted my iPod touch, the screen was still white. I charged my iPod touch and the screen was still white. When I tried my iPod touch in DFU mode, the apple logo/connect to itunes logo never showed up and the screen is still white. I restored my iPod touch, that didn't work and the screen was still white. Is there a techincal glitch? Should I wait for the next update? Did anyone has/had the same problem? Can Somebody help me with this problem? Should I go to the Apple Store? Should I replace it? Someone please help me. I will be greatly appreciated for your help.

    Hi there Gabby,
    I'm sorry to see you are so frustrated. Try holding down the sleep/wake button and home button together, until the device restarts.
    If this still doesn't work, and you have restored your device, it seems like it could be a hardware problem. Book a Genius appointment and a local Apple Store, and they will talk you through repair and replacement options. If you are still in warentee, they will replace it for free. You can book an appointment at the link below.

    Have a nice day,

  • Ipod touch - 4th generation: Shattered Screen

    Hello, I am from Trinidad and Tobago and my ipod touch screen shattered yesterday and I called the helpline last night for assistance. They told me that my provider F1 Connect would be able to repair it but said that they do not receive parts for this product. I am most disappointed that Apple misinformed me and I would like to get this fixed as soon as possible. I know this is not within the warranty but I will pay to fix it. I would like to send/ship it directly to the company for it to be repaired. Please provide feedback ASAP. Thank you.

  • My iPod Touch 4th generation white is cracked (8 GB). It cracked in Jan 2012 but I jailbroke it in June 2012, than unjailbroke it two days after I jailbroke it. Can I still take it to Apple to get the screen fixed at whatever cost (Its a 8GB)

    It cracked in Jan 2012 but I jailbroke it in June 2012, than unjailbroke it two days after I jailbroke it. Can I still take it to Apple to get the screen fixed at whatever cost. And can they find out? I wanna make it where they cant!

    Only Apple knows. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The worst is that they say no.

  • I have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?

    The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

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

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20,2012, and it fell out of my pocket and cracked the screen. I would like to know how much it costs to get it repaired and how much insurance costs. Thank you for your time.

    I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.

    See "Repair Pricing."
    No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price.
