My i-pod touch has a blank screen with a white daisy-gear shape in the center.  What's the problem?

My iPod Touch has a blank screen with a daisy like gear shape (white) in the middle of the blank screen.  What can I do?

Hi,
What's a "daisy-like gear shape?"  Do you mean the Apple logo?

  • My ipod touch has a grey screen with lines running through it

    My screen is grey with lines running horizontally across it 

    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.
    - 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.

    or maybe:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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.

  • My iMac (OS X) won't boot up. All I get is a blank screen with a blinking question mark (?). I've tried resetting the PRAM, but that doesn't help. What do I do?

    My iMac won't boot up. I get only a blank screen w/question mark (?). I tried resetting he pram, but that didn't help. What do I do?

    Thanks.  Did a safe boot, repaired disk permissions, and took your advice on the combo update.
    Running perfectly fine now, if not slightly faster.
    For the benefit of others this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 will get you to the Apple Support article that covers safe boot and parameter reset in  OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6.
    Thanks for all your help and advice.   

  • My iPod touch has a blank screen and won't turn on. Help?

    It went blank and I've tried to restart it (pressing the home and screen buttons) but that won't work either. I've connected it to a computer but the computer doesn't recognise it. It's been an hour and it still won't work. I even tried connecting it to the portable speaker which also charge and it won't do anyhting with that eiher.
    also I'm not sure which operatine system it is. iSO something. he most recent one you can get on an iPod touch.

    1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
    2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
    If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

  • My second gen iPod touch has a blank screen, and won't turn on or charge in an AC outlet. When plugged into iTunes, it is completely recognized and synced, but the screen remains blank and off. What can I do?

    Hello.
    I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
    I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
    Thanks,
    - Justin

  • My ipod touch has a black screen with the loading symbol on it

    I've had my Ipod touch for almost two years it is a fourth generation. Today I was going to charge it when the screen went black and had the circling loading symbol on it. It has now been stuck there for hours. My computer won't reconize it saying that there is an unknown error. What can I do to fix it?

    Try a hard reset and go from there.

    My iphone 3 has crashed one minute fine and the next the screen is white with nothing on it at all. i cant do anyting at all people can still phone me but i have to guess where to swipe to answer the call. Any ideas anyone please

    Try these steps as needed:
    1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    3. Restore in iPhone as new.

    If restoring as new doesn't help, the hardware is cooked.

  • My I pod touch has been in contact with water and no longer works?

    Has anyone any idea what I can do, I think I may have fried the battery, as I did not realise that water had got on the inside.

I have tried to change the res to the lowest it doesn't work what am i doing wrong please help!!

    You can't use a simple VGA to DVI adapter, since VGA doesn't have the digital video signals needed by Apple displays. You need a VGA to DVI converter, such as

  • My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

    I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
    I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
    What is wrong and what should I do?

    Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
    The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
    Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.
