Ipod Touch 54 3g - Screen went into negative mode

My screen went into negative mode tonight. White background, all the colors are inverted. Its like looking at a negative for a film camera. Tried powering it down, it restarts, then switches into negative mode.
Any ideas?

Roaming:
I got to work today, and tested your theory. I sync this with my work PC since I am almost always here LOL. Sure enough, I can set the accessibility option to use the white screen and the **** thing inverts the colors.
What I cannot figure out is how this got implemented. I was laying on the couch watching TV, and had just closed an email message. Next thing I know, the screen is on an acid trip.
It sure doesn't seem like a great option for those users who have poor eyesight. You are almost punished for using this setting. Photos aren't viewable and forget videos. Why not just give people the option of a background color?
Thanks for your quick response and correct diagnosis.

Clearly, it's not inexpensive. You might wish to try a few things yourself.
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."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Ipod touch 6th gen screen went black

My daughters ipod touch 6th gen screen went black. Im not sure what to do to fix it. Ive tried to charge it but nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello, miller.lala78.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your daughter's iPod touch will not respond. I would start with going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

HT1349 My iPod touch 4g's screen went white and now it won't reboot or connect to iTunes

I was just on my Facebook app and then I clicked on a link. It's a link that doesn't usually do anything to my iPod. Then, the screen went white. This sort of happened the other day, too. I've tried to reboot it several times, but it won't do anything. It won't connect to iTunes, either. What can I do?

Try posting in the iPod forum. This is the iPhone forum.

My daughter tried to open a game on her Ipod touch and the screen went white and I can't get it to do ANYTHING...I've tried holding the sleep/wake button and it does NOTHING, still only a white screen.

My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???

There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing.

I have the 2nd generation ipod touch and my screen went black and wont do anything what could be wrong?

i realy want it to be fixed its my life

Have you try to:
> Charge your iPod?
> Plug it to your computer?
> Hold the Power button to turn on?
If so and none work, you may need to replace your battery.
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPod purchase with the AppleCare Protection Pan for iPod. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and classic), $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
Source: http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
NOTE: If you do get the battery replaced yourself, becareful when removing the screen because there is a special cable connecting to the iPod itself and the screen and its very fragile. If that break, then you also need to replace the screen as well.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try everything again
If not successful ,time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod touch wouldn't turn on because I dropped it, so I plugged it into the computer. It went into recovery mode and is now stuck on a waiting for ipod screen. The ipod shows the apple logo and an empty loading bar.

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Forgot the passcode to my ipad. When I went to restore it, it asked me if I wanted to update the software so I said yes. It then went into recovery mode, I'm guessing, with the connect to iTunes showing on the screen. Now iTunes will not recognize it??

Then you will need to try restoring it once more:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Ipod touch causing blue screen

I'm new here so I hope I explain this properly. I have the latest version of itunes installed on my computer with a 1G nano. I just got a ipod touch. I pluged it into my usb port like I did with the nano and it moved all my music onto the touch. The problem now is when i try to plug the touch back into my computer it boots out and goes to the blue screen and says an unexpected error ocured and one or more disks need to be scaned. The computer boots back up and all is well until I try and plug the touch back in and the same thing happens.
Any help would be great.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
