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.

If defective, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

    When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

    From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what.  Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
    Cleaning iPod touch
    Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
    such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
    turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
    soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
    household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
    clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
    For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information

    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

    That sounds like an issue with the sunglasses and possible polarization...there is nothing that you can do to offset that on the iPhone itself.

    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

    I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very frustrating

    Hello audreyt92616051,
    The 'Blocked plug-in' message is from Safari (Apple), not Flash Player. This either means you have an older version of Flash Player, or internet plug-ins are disabled in the browser.  To verify internet plug-ins are enabled, Go to the Safari Preferences > Security and make sure the 'Internet Plug-ins' checkbox is marked.  The exact location and wording may differ depending on your version of Safari.
    To install the latest version of Flash Player, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the installer, taking note of the download location.  After the download completes, exit out of Safari (and any other app you have that may use Flash Player), go to the 'saved to' location, launch the installer, and follow the prompts to install Flash Player.

  • I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very fustrating

    I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very frustrating.  What am I doing wrong??

    Could you please visit https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and follow the instructions to get the latest version?  Once installed, please visit the Flash Player Help page and click the "Check Now" button.  Your Flash Player version should now be 17.0.0.134 which is the latest version.  That should fix the blocked plugin issue that you're running into.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • 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.
    See: iPod service request.

  • TS2771 My Ipod touch displays white lines across the screen.  I've turned it on and off but still shows up HELP!!!

    My Ipod touch displays white lines across my entire screen.  I've turned it on and off and it still hasn't cleared up.HELP!?!

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1414 my ipod has a solid color on the screen and will not respond at all what do I do?

    I was playing a game and the it just went to this screen that is kinda red and will not respond at all. I have tried to connect it to itunes to restore it but it never shows up. Is there another way to reset it? Right now I am just waiting for the battery to die.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful then do as you are doing, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

  • There are colors on the screen when I try to take a picture. Please help.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right community but when I try to take a picture I look at the screen and it has a white line going through the top part of the screen. There are white spots all over the lens. There is blue and red parts in the camera. When you move the phone the colors move around. The camera is very blurry and is not focusing.

    Sounds like software - Hope you have a recent back up already as with this issue do not really want to make a back up of the device now.
    Will want to restore the iPhone and after restore 1st set up as New and test the camera after setting up as new.
    If good then can try to restore from a back up. If still good, good. If notice same thing with camera after restoreing from a back up when that back up is no good, will have to erase all content and settings and continue with set up as new.
    Good luck!

  • Is there any way to turn off the distracting flashing at the top of the screen when hotspot is in use?

    When hotspot is in use, a message near the top of the screen on the iphone says "Personal Hotspot: 1 Connection".  New in IOS 7.1 is that this message repeatedly fades in and out (about once per second) rather than remaining fixed, and it creates a distraction while one is using the phone.  Not sure how other people feel, but it literally makes me (slightly) nauseas to have it continually wax and wane.  In 7.0.3 the message was fixed - it did not fade in and out.
    Under Settings->General->Accessibility I have already set "Reduce Motion" on.  I would think that would be the place to disable such repeated patterns.

    You could try a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart.  If that doesn't get rid of the volume control box on your screen, it's time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store, and they can send your iPad off for service.

  • I have a refurbished iPhone 5 (which I got less than a year ago) and the screen becomes unresponsive and there is a purplish haze that appears on the phone when I try to use it. Hasn't been dropped or cracked.. What could it be? help!!

    I Have a refurbished iPhone 5 that is less than a year old (apple replaced my first one due to a battery fault) but this one has all of a sudden become unresponsive most times and a purple haze has come thru the background on the lCd. The cursor goes abit cranky sometimes too and jumps from Window to window?! It has never been dropped or screen has never been replaced either no exposure to water or sun. This happened after I upgraded to the new iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the update but I've never had good results from updating the iPhone anyway..
    HELP?? I have an appt with Apple tomorrow but don't know if I can wait that long!!
    THanks in advance.
