Itunes just shows a white screen that says "ipod"
Hi!
My boyfriend just bought an 32 gb ipod touch. When he plugged it into his computer to sync with itunes, the ipod touch was recognized, but instead of the normal screen that shows the touch's serial number and other information, as well as the tabs for syncing music, videos, and applications, all we see is a white screen that says "ipod." I plugged my 32 gb touch into his computer and itunes worked fine. Any advice? Is the ipod the problem or is it itunes?
Try:
- Resetting the iPod. 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.
- Next try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring via iTunes.

I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.
1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear. I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone. There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on. When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones. The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything. Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
3- I cannot delete any apps. I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it. I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself. I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result. I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen. If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway). If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
So now I'm stuck. My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step. Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever. I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?Purplehiddledog wrote:
I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
Hi, my Macbook doesn't turn on, it just show a white screen and after a while a big question mark blinks but nothing else, cannot click the question mark, cannot do anything.Also it makes a funny noise. Any suggestions?
Suppose it's a HDD crash. Boot from Install DVD which came with your MacBook(Press C during startup) and open DiskUtility to repair your HDD if it's able to mount.

WHITE SCREEN of DEATH (ipod shows only white screen on VIDEO IPOD)
i was dumb enough to unplug my ipod when it was updating.
the result was a white screen that never went off and came back after resetting.
im dedicated to helping others fix this problem with out sending their ipod to apple.
THE SOLUTION:
reset your ipod by holding select and menu, THEN when you hear the wierd beeping sound hold down the select button and play button FOR ONE MINUTE OR MORE....... FIXED!!!!
it should display a check mark and say OK TO DISCONNECT!!
then just plug it into the computer and copy ur library back onto the ipod.Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Hi My Name is Harry , I have an Old 2005 Apple Mac Mini with Os 10.4.11 985165)

My 80 GB Classic shows a white screen, thats it, please help
So i may or may not have dropped it accidentily,(in a leather case) but anyway the only thing it will do is show a plain white screen, i've tried resetting it(menu+centre button) and ive tried completely restoring through itunes, and it went through that process fine but changed nothing
any thoughts or tips
please helpIt sounds like a physically bad display. There are online services that will diagnose and fix iPods. One that I have seen mentioned is www.iresq.com. I have never used this service (or any other, for that matter) so this is not an endorsement. You can also Google "iPod repair" to get a list of service sites.

Hello
I'm an experienced java programmer but i am new to JMF i'm having trouble applying an effect to a video track i've registered the effect successfully however when i then apply it to the video track all i get is a white screen. the player displays the video fine without the effect plugin applied however when i apply the effect it all goes wrong. i've checked the plugin viewer and data does seem to be moving between the various plugins and when i use a print statement the data is coming out of the plug in correctly. below is my code the player follwed by the effect file. its a real mess because i've been playing around with it for hours trying to get it to work and it's driving me crazy please can someone help!

What do I do if my iTouch does't turn on or off and just shows a white screen?
I was on fb and it suddenly freezes. I press the button (not the on/off one), and then it doesn't respond. I try the on/off button next and it still doesn't respond. I try doing both and it goes to a white screen. I guess it's still on because the light is pretty much on. But what do I do? I use this iTouch to contact people and it's important that I get it back to normal ASAP. Please help!
Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an your try:

Downloaded Premiere elements 10 app, but just get a white screen??
I have just bought this app and it wont open properly, it just shows a white screen. Can anyone help?
>still think I need to update
Yes... no computer company builds one at a time with the "then current" software drivers for all hardware
A "master tape" (or hard drive image) is made at some point in time, with Operating System and Device Driver software current as of THAT date
That production master is then copied on each computer's hard drive during assembly... which means the master may be several months out of date

Just to make certain, you inserted the original installation disk and started the MBP holding down the C key? Did the Optical drive reject the disk or did it just spin? If the former, the lens in the drive may be dirty and needs to be cleaned. If the latter, you will have to take it to an Apple repair facility.
