My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

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

I get a gray screen with the apple logo at start up and the trackpad doesn't work

My MacBook Pro has run fine until yesterday. It froze and wouldn't receive commands from the trackpad. I was still able to move the cursor but clicking or tapping the screen did nothing. I tried restarting but got the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel. To get pass this I have tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and performing the safe boot. I also tried using the Disk Utility at start up but since I can't use the trackpad it was unsuccesful. I got pass the gray screen once performing the safe boot and restarted and everything run fine (including the trackpad) for about 20 minutes before freezing again. Now I'm back at the gray screen again and can't seem to get pass it again.
Any advice what should I do next?

I would back up the files and start looking at the HDD. Open DISK UTILITY>FIRSTAID.
Ciao.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.
If it still does not boot up properly, put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

I recently had my iPhone 5c screen replaced. When I switch the phone on all I can see is a dark blue/navy backlight on the screen. The phone powers on although I can't see the apple logo. I can ring the phone a bad Siri is fully functional.

Unfortunately, since an unauthorized party opened it, Apple won't have anything to do with it at all. It's not eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

I have a white screen with the apple logo upon startup. Then the wheel turns and the screen is white. Can't get past it.

Boot with your install disc, launch Disk Utility, and repair the boot volume.
