6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi LizS5,
It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
Specifically -
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
And if the issue is not resolved -
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

As the topic says, the nano has a blank white screen but still plays songs and works with iTunes. i have tried reseting it via holding menu and select for 10 seconds without success also i have tried holding select and play/pause after reseting (hard reset i guess) without any success.
I have tried restoring factory defaluts and loading different versions of iPod update without success.

Another white screen!! I thought it was just me. Surely enough people have encountered this problem to be able to offer us some help. My screen is all white but does play music. I can't see anything, no calendar, no contacts, no nothing! I have only had it for 2 months and am already frustrated. I didn't drop it, I didn't get it wet, just one day BAM, couldn't see anyhting.
Suggestions anybody???

My ipod nano has a blank screen

my ipod nano has blank screen and will not show anything. I`ve tried to restore it but when i plug it into my computer it says that i didn`t plug it in. I`ve tried to call apple and ask what was going on, but every time i call it either get`s me a machine or it`ll keep ringing and ringing. I`ve tried to write, but no one has wrote me back. I had my ipod nano since November 17, 2005 and I still haven`t used it, can anyone help? I also tried to take it to electronic stores, but their services to help cost more than what I paid for my ipod, Please help!!
Thank u

You could try the 5r's, and disk mode.
Or you could call Apple 1-800-275-2273, I think there hours are 9-9 EST Mon_fri.
If you've had it a year I would call them and tell them it's not working and get the Apple Care.

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen.How can I unlock and use my nano?

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

My ipod nano has a white screen, how do i fix this?

My Ipod nano has acted weird for the past week, then yesterday the screen goes white!! I don't know how to fix it or what to do.

If a hard reset of the device or a restore of it via iTunes does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related. Could be a damaged LCD or a loose ribbon cable that connect to your iPod's logic board.
Either way, your iPod will need servicing in order to gain full functionality of it.

IPod Nano 4th gen - screen flickers, won't turn on, isn't recognised by computer or iTunes.

My 4th gen iPod Nano has been playing up.
When I connect it to my computer or a dock, the screen flickers with the Apple logo. Once unplugged, it won't turn back on and the screen goes completely black. I tried to reset it numerous times (both connected and unplugged) but that didn't help at all.
I tried to see if I could fix it by restoring it and putting it in disk mode, but the iPod isn't recognise by any of the computers in my house and doesn't appear in either iTunes or 'My Computer' so that really doesn't help. I'm positive it's not an issue with my computer or USB cable because the other iPods in my house connect just fine.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If you have synced your iPod touch to a computer, it should be relatively easy to fix. Plug the iPod into the computer to which it is synced. Once plugged in, hold the home (square button on front) and the power button on the top for approximately 10-15 seconds. After the apple disappears from your screen a couple times, a new screen will popup indicating to start iTunes on your computer. Once you start iTunes, you will be given the option to begin the restore mode and then choose to restore your particular iPod. Once again, you have to had synced your iPod to a computer to utilize this option. Not sure how I figured it out, but I finally did! Good luck and let me know if it does/doesn't work for you.

Ipod nano 2nd gen screen is scrambled

I have a 2nd gen Ipod nano and the screen is either blank or scrambled. I tried to reboot it by holding down the menu and center button simultaneously and that had worked in the past but not this time. Before I would get the Apple logo on the screen but nothing now.

Have you tried any of the standard 5 r's of troubleshooting yet? If so, and the issue still persists, your iPod's LCD is damaged and needs to be replaced.

IPod nano has odd spots on whole nano

Hi, my friend's iPod nano has an iPod nano that unfortunately is oddly covered in spots that he described as this: they are on the outside of the screen...around it...and they just look like smudges from lint or dirt but they will not come off same on the back. Please help! Thankyou!

You should try calling apple support open that one they should be able to help you the number is 1-800-MY-APPLE just don't be a jerk and get impatient because they can screw you over and not even care.

IPod Nano red striped screen freeze

My 2nd gen iPod Nano has just totally froze me out. In the middle of a card game, the screen just filled with horizontal red stripes. Tried toggling the hold, tried restart with the Menu and centre wheel, tried factory restore in iTunes... Nothing seems to work! iTunes recognises the iPod and appears to be working fine (difficult to tell when you can't use the screen to see if the music etc has loaded correctly). Is it beyond hope...??? Please help...

Thanks for the info. All threads seem to point to iTunes, so I'm hoping it's that and not the iPod. My version of iTunes is 7.7 (43), when I went to the osx-downloads page to update to iTunes version 8.2.1 Apple say the system requirements are osx 10.4.10 or later, as I'm running on osx 10.3.9 I'm guessing that my system won't take the latest update, leaving me stuck with a corrupted iPod! Does this mean the only option would be to upgrade the operating system? In these days of economic gloom it's not something I relish when osx 10.3.9 works perfectly well for everything else. Is it possible to download or go back to a previous version of iTunes that doesn't contain this bug and bypass the cost implications of a full operating system upgrade...????
