My ipod nano (8GB) screen went blank, my ipod nano (8GB) screen went blank

Any idea what I can do? It's just a white screen. It makes two thin sounding beeps when I turn it on. I tried plugging it in to my computer. All the information is still on it -- just not showing it. Cannot play it. No water damage. Did not drop it. Is it dead?

I just reset it:

  • What are the screens made of on iPod nanos?

    Hi I am looking to buy an iPod nano, most interested in 6th gen but everything from 4th onward looks decent to me... My current music player is last years model of the 8gb Sony Walkman.  The very first time I put it in my pocket and went for a walk, the coins in my pocket made quite the mess out of my screen.  The sound quality on the unit is amazing though... If I am going to invest in a new player, it has to have a scratch resistant screen like gorilla glass.  What are the screens made of on iPod nanos and how well do they perform against being in a pocket with things such as coins, keys and a lighter?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful responses

    It is Gorilla glass and is scratch resistant but not impervious. I've carried mine in my pocket with coins, keys, etc.

  • I got an iPod Nano for Christmas and loved it. Then the screen died. I got a replacement but it no longer repeats Playlists. Is it a setting I have to adjust to get it to repeat the entire Playlist?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

    Read the PDF user manual for a possible solution:  iPod Manuals and/or iPod Nano Support 
    Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. 
    If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

    Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod.  For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

  • IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

    IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?  What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

    With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
    Could be : The battery
                    The charger
                   The phone itself
    You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
    -If you have an extra battery, test it.
    -Try another charging cable or another outlet
    If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything.  Then restoring it. Time varies.
    If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

  • My new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance?

    my new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance when i work out?

    Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software.  The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.

    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

  • Preventing iPod touch screen from going blank when iPod's powered.

    Hi there, is there anyway (or app) to prevent the iPod touch's screen from going blank/turning off?
    This is why I ask...
    I often use my iPod touch as my remote, where I choose which of my iMac's iTunes songs to play next and besides I'm always revising/updating the songs' ratings.  My iPod has a password to unlock and so, doing what I just said often can be bothersome.  I've found out that, if the iPod's own music is playing when connected to the power, the screen never goes blank, it only dims, which is very helpful but, since I'm not listening to the iPod, I always have to turn the iPod's volume all the way down.  Also this increments the number of plays to all those songs played back which is something I don't like either and so, again my question is, does anybody know if there is any way or app that, when the iPod's connected to power, only dimmed the screen (but not allow it to go blank)?
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.
    Jorge...

    Go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and set time to never.  If you have a corporate exchange mail account on the iPod that may prevent using never (Never not present).

  • My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen goes out and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. Any suggestions?

    My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem.  Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely.  Push until they click in place.  It solved the problem.  The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep.  Hope this helps.

  • Blank white ipod screen on 5G

    Today, my iPod was working just fine until I encountered the dreaded white screen of death. I had firmware 1.2.2 on my 5G iPod. Resetting my iPod does no good because I just get a white screen again. No music plays through either. My computer can +kind of+ detect my iPod. But with iTunes, its more of a hit-or-miss try. I tried restoring it on one of my older comptuers, but it said resources cannot be found. On this newer computer I'm using, it first directed me to a 1.2.1 downgrade for my iPod video, but iTunes once again froze on me, making me miss the installation. I had iTunes detect it a few times again saying its corrupt; but now its trying to make me install a 1.5 update for an iPod with a scroll-wheel. Can anyone help me with this?
