  • My ipod has a white screen and wont connect to itunes

    I tried to fix it by holding the home and wake buttens for 30-40 seconds but it stil didn't work. It also wont connect to itunes. Any ideas?

    Try the remaining items of:

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • IPod Touch had white screen and was hot

    Yesterday my iPod Touch had a white screen and was hot. I tried holding the power button and home button and it didn't work. What happened was the iPod was off. I turned it on and saw it had 30% battery and then turned off wifi. I had it on a table, and came back 10 minutes and saw it was black and wouldn't turn on. I then tried to charge it and the screen became white and was really hot in the back especially. I think it was white for like an hour. I held the iPod in front of the AC to cool it down..... ..... It cooled it down and then the iPod went black ever since today. I can't seem to do anything to it...:/ My computer & iTunes do not recognize the device.

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

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

  • Ipod touch with white screen and blue and green lines

    I have had the newest ipod touch for a year now no problems..I was just on Facebook and the screen froze then went white with a lot of blue and green colored lines on it. It won't do anything I have tried plugging it in and holding down sleep and the home button for ten seconds but I get nothing. What should I do? Will this be covered if I take it took the apple store?

    same here!!!
    my iPod Touch heats up, I've been trying to take of the case and connect it to 2 different computers but the computer don't recognize it, I tried to power it off, to do hard reset but the device not responding.

  • Ipod  touch has white screen and not responding

    screen is white and not responding

    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.

    You'll need to connect your iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.
