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

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

    Hi
    I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
    This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
    I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
    Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
    The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
    The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
    The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
    Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
    It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
    Thankyou!

    Hello bfsf,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.

  • My Ipod nano 6th gen shows a white screen with sad face

    Hi
    My ipod nano is showing me a white screen with a sad face on it
    I tried to reset it but with no use, everytime it resets, it returns back to the sad face
    and itunes won't recognize the device
    this is a picture of the screen
    any help please

    While the nano is connected to your computer and iTunes is open, hold down the volume up, volume down and sleep/wake button at the same time until iTunes brings up a dialog then release the buttons.
    The dialog should walk you through 'recovering' the nano. See if that does it for you.
    Has it gotten wet?

  • My ipod nano 6th gen has white screen

    please help my ipod nano 6th gen has white screen and wont go away, ive put into disk mode (dfu) and restored on itunes and still no resolution....ive tried hard reseting and still nothing

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • 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.

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your iPad then there are instructions on this page for how to reset the iPad (your iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If your computer's iTunes isnt recognising the iPad when you connect it then have you got a recent version of iTunes installed on your computer ? There are also troubleshooting pages for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :

    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • IPod nano 6th gen has deleted all content three times now

    When I bought my new nano about 3 weeks ago I synched it up with iTunes (using Windows Vista) with no hassles. After a week or so I re-synched (as I do each day to get new podcasts) and when I unhooked the device it had no content on it. The only way to get the content back was a restore. It then worked fine then the same thing happened about 5 days later. Today the same thing has happened again. Each time I have to go through the synch summary screens and tell the machine which plyalists and audio books and podcasts to synch and of course the **** thing doesn't remember where I was up to in any of my podcasts or audio books which is extremely annoying. I'm using the same computer as I used with my old iPod classic which never had a problem like this, I'm hooking up directly from the device to the computer (not going through any USB hub or anything)...can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what I might do to ensure it doesn't happen again?

    Thank you for your help, much appreciated
    Summary screen has 5 options
    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected - ticked
    Sync only ticked songs - ticked

    Enable disc use - not ticked
    On the Music tab I have ticked the big sync music box at the top then in the box under that have selected the radio button for Selected playlists, artists and genres. There is nothing else ticked in that top box. In the boxes underneath I have only got ticked items in the playlists box
    On the Podcasts tab I have ticked the big Sync podcasts box at the top and have it set to automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts then in the box below that I have ticked the podcasts I play on this iPod
    On the Audiobooks tab I have ticked the big Sync Audiobooks tab at the top and have selected the radio button for selected audio books. The in the box below that I have one or two books from my library ticked at any one time.
    On the Photos tab I have nothing ticked.

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen either gets white screen or apple icon but is recognized by itunes! What now

    So I have done the reset steps and I will either get the white screen or the apple icon with 2 audible beeps. The Ipod does show up in Itunes, however I cant play music. I dont know if it has been dropped or not as I am doing a favor for a friend. I was able to restore the ipod via Itunes as well but Im stuck here. I dont know how to put in disk mode when I cant see anything on the screen except the white screen or the apple icon. Any Ideas as what to do next or is this Ipod done?

    I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.

  • IPod nano 4th gen stuck on White Screen of Death

    So recently my iPod of 4 years has gotten the white screen of death.
    I tried doing the restarting. You know. hold the on/off button then hold MENU and SELECT. Nothing. It just blinks the white screen off and then on.
    Interest to note: I use my ipod nano in the shower (with dock). Maybe the steam from the shower had something to do with it?
    Anyway, thank you.

    I should note that I CAN still use this ipod. I can play songs on it EVEN while my screen is white. Also, when I plug it into my Win7 (32-bit), the iTunes (latest version 1.0.4) recgonizes my ipod and play the songs/playlist from it.
