My iPod has a white screen. Do I need a new iPod?

I already tried connecting it my my ihome and to my computer but it didnt change. if i plug it into my ihome and press the play button on my ihome it will play but that is pretty much it.

patriotsalltheway...you don't have to get a new one. the manual says hold down the wake/sleep button and the volume down button, simultaneously, for 6 secs...it works...my 4 year old son produced the white screen for my benefit and i did it and IT WORKED! Son is saved.

    This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen.  What iPod model do you have?
    When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

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

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one

    What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one?

    If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.  In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

    My iPod has a white screen.  After holding down the middle and menu button, the screen goes black then back to white and beeps twice.  I have returned to original settings and resorted content to no avail.  I still have a white screen.  I have plugged it up and tried resetting again and again, still a white screen with two beeps - help.

    I have the same exact issue. Fifth generation iPod Nano, blank screen, Restore had no effect. I'm running Windows 7 Home, with all software up-to-date. I suspect hardware damage. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  • 4th Gen ipod touch has a white screen

    4th Generation ipod has a white screen.  I have done the hard restart with no success.  Have attached it to the computer for a restore--it goes through the whole process and the white screen stays.  Even with the white screen, you can hear that you slide the bar to start and apps are available, but the white screen won't go away.  It is only 2 days old!!!  HELP!

  • My ipod nano 6th gen has a white screen that states ok to disconnect and it's not connected to the computer

    I listened to my ipod last night.  My son went to get it and it has a white screen that states ok to disconnect (it is not connected to the computer).  It won't let me do anyting to it.  I tried to hook it up to the computer and it changes to do not disconnect and then won't let me eject it - it says sync is done but it says I can't disconnect because files are being used somewhere else.  Then I pulled it out and it goes back to ok to disconnect.
    Hope someone can help me. 

    i sent mine off to craig at [email protected], it was £25.....like new again

  • My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen.

    My Ipod touch 4G has a white screen.  I've followed all the troubleshooting tips - turning off (hard to tell when all you see is white), hard reset, and restore.  I updated to the latest software versions.  Itunes recognizes the ipod.  I restored it.  Nothing changed.  Still have the white screen.  It hasn't been mishandled - no cracked screen, no water, hasn't been dropped.  Any other suggestions or is it time to call Apple?

    If you have done al the hardware troubleshooting, call Apple to get it serviced.
