My iPod keeps flashing white and making a noise when I press the button?

Whenever I press the button, my iPod makes a strange clicking sound and the screen turns white for a few moments. It will not allow me access to the home menu or do anything else that requires the use of the button. I don't know what might have caused it, if it is repairable, or even what is causing the problem. Help??

My ipod does the same thing. The white flashing is the ipod taking a picture of the screen you're on. I haven't found a permanent fix for it, but what I do when it happens is hold the home button down until it turns off then turn it back on.

    My IPOD keeps flashing on and off how do i fix it

    Try:

    - 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.

  • Having problems us ng my ipod 7g Nike Fitness.  When running when I press the button between the volume buttons, I get a different action almost every time.

    I am having problems using my ipod 7g with Nike Fitness.  When running when I press the button between the volume buttons, I get a different action almost every time. And usually I end up either turrning volume up very high or ending the workout. I need to be able to pause workout, and get spoken feedback regarding time, distance, and pace, that's all. I'm using a Griffin brand armband, that covers all of the buttons.  I've read the online manual.  no help.  I'm just about ready to return it and go back to my 5th gen with its smaller song capacity and no blurry.  Any help or suggestions very welcome.

    Jeff:
    I have had both good and bad experiences with Acronis True Image. I got the recent copy of ATI via a Newegg.com bundle. I haven't tried it yet on any Windows 7 editing systems. ATI installs some services that I would rather not have running in the background.
    What made you change from ATI to ShadowProtect Desktop Edition?
    Are you running Windows 7?
    What do you see as advantages to running ShadowProtect Desktop Edition as opposed to Acronis True Image?
    Thanks

  • Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

    Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

    Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
    Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
    Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open Console.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
    That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
    Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
    Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
    All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

    Hi
    I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
    When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
    However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
    The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
    This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
    Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
    Would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it.  See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

  • I know my network connection is fine and I've checked all the cables and that the tv is set to the correct source, but even though Apple Tv is on and responds with beeps when I hit the button, I see nothing on the screen. What do I do next?

    I know my network connection is fine and I've checked all the cable connections and my television is set to the correct input, but even though the remote beeps when I hit the button, I see nothing on the screen. The troubleshooting section in the setup guide says to make sure that Apple Tv is connected to my network by choosing Settings>General>Network. How do I do this? What do I need to do to get everything back? I've been using the Apple tv for a while now, and suddenly it's doing this.

    I've had my macbook air since Christmas and was working fine till a couple of days ago when i tried to turn on my mba it wouldn't turn on so i plugged it in to its charger, because i thought it was flat. the next day when i pressed the power button it made the regular default chime sound, but the screen didn't come up with my login as usual. i checked the apple sign on the back and it was on but the screen stayed blank.

  • The apple logo on my ipod keeps flashing on and off?

    I have not used my ipod in a while and knew that the battery was completely dead.  I have had it plugged into my computer for over 3 hours and it is still not working.  It is flashing between the message, "Please Wait...Very Low Battery" and then the apple logo comes on for a few seconds and then clicks and then disappears...I have tried the reset thing (toggle on/off with hold and then press the center and menu button) and it is still not turning on!!  Any suggestions?

    If it is just a fully discharged battery, you need to connect it for about 30 minutes before the iPod Screen comes back to life and show the charging symbols.
    But since you have plug it in for 3 hours, and there is no sign of life, then have the battery replaced, connecting it for 30 hours is also of no use, as the battery wont charge, and the moment you disconnect it, the iPod will go off.
    Have a nice day!

  • HT201263 my ipod screen turned white and i seen online that you hold the power button and the homescreen button for it to go off. But it wont turn back on. I would have to let it die and charge it it turns on but fades to white. what do i do?

    My ipod screen turned white. i had read online that if i hold the power buton and the home button that it would turn off. It turned off but wouldnt turn back on. I had left the ipod on the charger all night and tryed this morning. nothing would happen. but when i checked it this afternoon the battery was dead. when ever i turn it on the password screen fades to white. what do i do. My warrenty just ended a week ago.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Also try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    If not successful time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
