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.

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.

4th gen ipod touch has white screen

I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

try one of these ways:
> restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
> let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
> replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
> go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

Avoid White Screen and (Not Responding) Message?

Is there a way to force FrameMaker to update the screen when it becomes unresponsive during lengthy processes?
I wrote an ExtendScript to open all files in a book (silently), import settings across all files, update the book, and then save as a PDF file. The script runs seven times, each time with different settings to control various things such as conditional text and variables.
The problem is that FrameMaker churns on certain commands, such as opening all the files and importing the settings. During this time, it might take up to 10 minutes to complete the command across all files in the book. If I click off of FrameMaker onto another applicaiton, and then go back to FrameMaker I see only a FrameMaker container window with a white background. The title bar shows the book name and (Not Responding). The script is still running and everything is fine. But there is no feedback to the user to indicate what's happening.
Is there no way to force FrameMaker to refresh the window and remove (Not Responding) from the title bar?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
This is more of a limitation of FrameMaker's implementation of the "OWL" interface. The Not Responding title bar and white screen appear not just with scripts and FDK clients, but also with other long FrameMaker operations, like updating large books, etc. In fact, in Kapil Verma's FrameMaker 11 webinar yesterday, the same thing happened when he was creating a book from a ditamap.
One way you can minimize the effect of this is to use a progress bar with your script, so people will know the progress of the script in spite of the white screen, etc.

Ipod classic has white screen and do not disconnect when connected to computer and ok to disconnect when not connected to computer and stays on recognized in computer but not in itunes

has anyone had this problem followed the steps to rest but i keep getting the same problem

If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi LizS5,
It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
Specifically -
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
And if the issue is not resolved -
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Ipod touch has white screen

Have tried to restore twice and have held the two buttons down for 30 seconds... no fix... it is charged and it has not been dropped or had any liquids on it... any help is appreciated...

You may have a major disconnection, defective Liquid Crystals, or, less likely, an operating system error. You will have to talk to Apple.
