My ipod is unresponsive, with a white screen that won't go away?

My ipod was working fine and then within an hour or so it froze and turned to a blank white and hasn't gone away since. Please help me solve this problem.

Let the batttey fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset:
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.
The try a restore if necessary.

I dropped my iPhone 3G and now there is a white screen that will not go away.. what can I do to fix this?

Okay so I dropped my iPhone 3G today and ever since it has been stuck on this white screen that has stripes on it. I have tried holding the home button with the up volume and the power button for a while and that didn't work. I also tried just the home button and the power button. I also tried taking it apart to see if something was loose but nothing was. PLEASE HELP I don't want to get rid of my iphone!

Applecare+ for iPhone covers two instances of accidental damage for a fee of £49 per claim (in the UK).

If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play. What is wrong with it?

I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background. I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it. At one point it was in a Restore Loop. I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers. Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

When updating to the new iOS my ipod died and now I have nothing but a white screen that won't turn off and itunes now doesn't recognize it

When I was updating my ipod touch to the new iOS last night it died and now I have nothing but a white screen. iTunes no longer recongnizes the device and it won't turn off when I hold the power button or when I hold the power and home screen button.

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.
- 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 do I do if my ipod classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen that won't go away?

I am not sure when this issue started, but my iPod Classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen. They show up on every screen now. The iPod is working, but I don't know if this is a sign of bad things to come. I have dropped the iPod a few times, but not regularly. I also wasn't sure if this means that it is time to update my iTunes software. I am going to try updating the software tonight to see if that fixes the problem. I have tried resetting the iPod, but it doesn't make the lines go away. I am just curious to see if anyone else has had this issue. I have attached pictures because it is probably hard to diagnose my issue without seeing it.

It is not a software issue, since you have reset it and update the firmware.
LCD screen do konk out due to high temperature, or when the pixels are static and burn the screen, like the 2 lines, that's the reason we have screen savers or the screen power down, when not in used. Some users do have screen ON all the time when connecting to iPod Docking stations.
Other defects are due to poor SMT, when the display chip is mounted on the iPod motherboard., normally a band of vertical or horizontal white lines across the screen, these appear within 1 year, and Apple do replace the whole iPod.
You can get LCD screen replaced at Apple, if it is still under warranty or get a 3rd party vendor near your area if you want it done cheaper.
Have a nice day.

MacBook Turns on an has a loadinq screen that won't go Away

When I turn my MacBook on, theres a white screen with the Apple Logo an a spin cycle beneath to indicate its probably loading something but it doesn't ever finish ! I even left it on overnight to see if it would be done in the morning but it wasn't .
Any suggestions on what i can possibly do to fix this issue ?

Mine started doing this yesterday after attempting to install the most recent security update (im running Tiger OS 10.4.)
Took a while for me to remedy it but I found that by starting up from the CD that comes with the macbook (by holding 'c' as you switch on) and doing an Archive and Install (took 2 attempts as the first failed) it is working fine again. Installed the update by dragging it from the trash and clicking it and the Macbook seems good again.

HT1529 I have a screen that won't go away, how can I get it off my desk top

Hi,
I have a box that stays on my computer. It has four boxes on the left top that are general, accounts, viewing, audio/video and the main heading at the top is Accounts. There is nothing in the box that is clear enough to read and the box also says Location..US in the left lower bottom with cancel and save in the rt. lower corner. When I click on cancel I get a pop up screen that has the text icon that says Alert (null) with cancel and ok in the rt lower corner. When I hit cancel it takes that little box off and then the save button flashes. I can not hit any of the red, yellow, or green buttons to get rid of the screen they are blanked out. It's driving me crazy!! please help me get rid of it.
thanks,

Type command + option + esc (all three keys together).
You will see a new pane called Force Quit Applications. In that pane select, one at a time, anything you do not recognize, and click Force Quit.
Finally, select Finder and Relaunch.

Dark smudges on the screen that won't go away?

I was wondering if anyone had any solutions for getting rid of dark smudges on the screen that seem to be internal in nature. I have an early 2008 black Macbook. The spots are kind of annoying so I was looking for a solution. Is this something fixable?

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts

I need help my ipod is unresponsive with a black screen and non working buttons

Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

How to get rid of full screens that won't go away.

I was using my MacBook Pro with my tv through HDMI. I made a window full screen on my tv ( I was using Blender 3D software and the window on the tv was the same application I had on my screen). When I unplugged the HDMI the full screen window on my tv went onto my MacBook. The problem is that the window from the tv is now full screen on my computer, and there are no options in the tool bar to minimize it. When ever I open this file that window pops up along with the window that was on my screen. It creates lag and I need to get rid of it. I need this file. Please help!

There are 3 ways to exit a fullscreen app:
Escape key
Command+Control+F
Hover the cursor at the top of the screen until the menu bar drops down then clcik the Arrow icon on the top right.
Have you tried plugging it back into the TV?

Help required with pop up window that won't go away

I need to re-configure my network settings, but when I access 'network' in 'system preferences' a pop up window appears that states 'Your network setting have been changed by another application'. When I click 'OK', the window just re-appears and I cannot therefore access the network window. Help!

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
 Cheers, Tom
