My ipod displays a white blank on the screen. . . i have tried everything

i want to replace my ipod something is wrong it, is my ipod still covered by warranty, i bought it about 4 months ago?

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I just installed Creative Cloud and I have had a blue rotating circle for the last 40 minutes in the screen. Have tried force quit and restarting and problem persists.

I just downloaded Creative Cloud for Photographers and nothing seems to be starting. I cannot download photoshop or lightroom because there is a blue circle in the creative cloud window

I have similar problems. I install cc-app, start it and get an empty cc screen with a blue timer in the middle of the screen that gives me the impression it tries to connect to something.
I have been browsing this forum for days and have tried 'everything' I could find:
- turned off firewall
- connected directly to the internet without a router
- opened ports
- uninstalled cc multiple times
- uninstalled all Adobe software (used to run CS6)
- used cc-cleaner
- manually deleted all adobe related directories
- removed the OOBE directory multiple times
- gave cc administrator permissions
I'm using windows 7.
Another thing I noticed: when cc is running in the background and I play a computer game, cc takes me back to windows. This only stops when I turn off cc.

I can't get onto the Internet. Have tried everything

Hi,
How do you connect your machine to the Internet ? Wired or wireless ? Please try this:
1. Click Start, type cmd on the Search box then press enter,
2. Type ping www.google.com then press enter. Can you get something like this (ie 0% loss)
3. Type Exit then press enter
Regards.

My iTunes will not connect to the iStore, I have tried everything!!!

I can browse the store but when i try to enter my account info and password it says the itunes cannot connect with the istore. I have not changed any of my info in the past 4 years!! The last time I got on the istore and bought something was about 6 months ago without any problems. I have tried everything!! Someone please help!

I do not think it is the user, I was able to connect to itunes store fine last tuesday 2/23/10 and then later in the day windows released a couple updates for vista at least and I have not been able to connect to itunes store since. I even uninstalled the windows updates and it still wouldn't connect, so unless someone has a better idea I think it messed something up. Oddly enough you can see apple updated this fix page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368 on the exact date, but none of these solutions work, so they are aware of it and should at least say they are working on it, if they even are.

My ipod has a white shine on the screen when I try to use it

My Ipod dropped and cracked a little bit about a month ago near the power button, not on the screen itself. Today when I started it up it had this white see thru haze whenever i start it up. Anyone know what could have caused this.

Sure seems like the damage caused by the crack/dropping is progressing.However,
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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.
If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

Ipod Touch 4 device not listed - cannot sync, and have tried everything listed!

Help! I pulled my IPod out to take on a trip, and I cannot get it to sync. It has been a couple months since I used it, and have gotten a new computer in the meantime. I installed the latest Itunes version to the computer (windows 7). The Ipod Touch 4 is charged. I have tried changing cords, changing hubs, uninstalling/reinstalling itunes. My computer and another home computer WILL NOT recognize the device. It does not give me an error message - it gives me nothing. I have rebooted both computer and Ipod. I went into msconfig as listed on the hlp page. Nothing. I probably need to update the Ipod too, but is there a way to do this other than connecting to Itunes through the PC? Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Vanessa

Does your Touch charge? When you plug it into the wall does it charge? If so, that's good because it means mechanically it's fine.
When you plug it into the computer does it recognize the ipod at all? Often you can get the photo import wizard opening up, which is a confirmation that the hardware works and that your issue is likely a software one.
You can try resetting your ipod by holding down the home and sleep key, past the red slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
You may also want to research into Windows 7 and the Apple Mobile Device Driver because I think that's the root of your problem. No driver, the computer has no instructions what to do with this thing plugged into it.
You've probably already done this, but make sure it's plugged directly into the box and not into a hub.
There's usually no singular silver bullet fix, rather a combo that just happens to trigger things right, which only makes it more frustrating.
I know that I've seen that windows 7 comes with its own set of challenges (they work so hard to make it 'user friendly' that I find it's so automatic that it lacks the control to make it do what you want it to do rather than what they think you want to do)
Unfortunately, unless you have iOS5.0+ you can't update it without a computer.

Syncing Ipod Touch 2nd gen to Windows 7 PC. i have tried everything.

Okay so, i've been using my Itunes for about a year now, without using any apple device, just so i could listen to music.. My sister gave me her Ipod touch 2nd generation yesterday. It was connected and synced to a different library but i thought that my Itunes was at least supposed to recognize the device? i want to sync it with my library, even if that means i lose all the media and data on it now.
My computer doesn't even recognize the ipod. When i plug it in it says it's charging, but the Device Manager has no "Unknown Device" or "USB Mass Storage Device" or even "Ipod". It doesn't have a title even relevant to the ipod.
I've tried everything on these two articles. None of it works. V Help, please!

I have been trying for about a month to get my Touch to sync with i-tunes. I have already used up my "1" support from the technical center and I think apple is a bunch of a$$es for not supporting this product better. They change the OS for i-tunes and then nothing works afterwards....Lame! If anyone finds out how to repair this issue please let us know, Apple is of no help to us. I'm glad windows has something out now, time for something new on the Christmas list !!!!!

The Firefox screen lies slightly to the right od the desktop since installing v5, how can I centre it so as not to lose the right hand part of the screen, I have tried dragging it but it wont move

The FF screen is about 20mm from the left hand edge of the desktop and I can not move it so that I can read the right part of the FF screen

I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar. Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

My New Ipod will not show up in Itunes? I have tried everything!

Ipod is not in Itunes 7...I have tried everything, Somone...Please Help lol

Ok, here's the thing. I got this 5th g, 30gb ipod the other day. I installed the little disk, and when I plug it in, my computer recognizes it, installs the device, everything is fine. It's in my computer, blah blah. It even opens itunes when I plug it in, however, there is no "Ipod" in the source list. Doesn't exist. I've gone through the support pages like this one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
and I've done it all. Re-installed the software, re-installed itunes, empty temp directory, disabled any third party programs I could, changed the drive letter of the ipod. No IPOD IN ITUNES still. Wth. Any ideas. I'm getting desperate.

Sally,
OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
