Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- You can try placing in recovery mode and DFU made and then trying to restore.

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 touch screen will not rotate

My screen will not rotate. I understand it does not rotate when the keyboard is open, but is ther a rotate lock button somewhere?

If the screen rotation feture is locked(3G and 4G only) here will be a circled arrow with a pdlock inside shown on the upper right part of the iPod's screen. You access the lock by double clicking the Home button and going all the way to the left on the lower part of the screen. you will either see a circled arrow or the circled arrow with a padlock inside. Tap to change.

Is it bad to turn your iPod touch off every night? If I don't, the screen will be blank/distorted.

I just got my new iPod touch from Fry's electronic, and just last night, I put it on sleep thoughout the whole night. I wake up, press the home button, and it lights up a gradiant grey-white. It happened the other day when I was playing with Draw Something. I then tried turning it off, and it took forever. But now its working. So I was wording if it's bad/not the best to turn your iPod touch off everynight, and if you do it?

I just let my iPod sleep overnight. I turn on airplane mode to minimnize battery drain.

My Ipod touch screen will not come up unless I conect it to the computer. It never gets past the apple logo and never fully retores? My screen is crackd a little at the bottom. Is this a screen or software problem?

My ipod touch 4will not respond unless I hook it up to the computer. It never goes pasthe logo apple screen.It never restores fully. Cant tell if this is a screen or software problem.

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.

While in use, my Macbook Pro screen will go blank and the computer seems to freeze.

I have a 13 inch MBP running Maverick. Starting a few days ago, it will occasionally (once or twice a day) go blank (as does my second screen which is hooked to it) and the computer seems frozen. I've tried the key strokes to force quit but it does nothing. I am forced to hold down the power button and restart the computer. VERY Annoying! Anyone know a fix for this? or what triggers it?

jdbizzle,
have you tried resetting its System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference?

Connecting IPOD causes screen to go blank and computer is locked

I am running Windows XP and have all software updates. I have updated to the latest version of Itunes. Every time I plug in my IPOD Nano, the Nano says do not disconnect and the computer locks up with a blank screen. This did not used to happen. Can someone help me out?
Frustrated in Florida

Thanks, jasonwryan. Adding nomodeset to the grub kernel load line allowed me to boot up and see the command prompt and log in.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log fromt the last boot attempt had this error message:
(EE) system-logid: failed to get session: PIC 245 does not belong to any known session
After studying the man page for Xorg.map, I added this file:
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = no
That fixed the screen blanking problem and now I can boot up as before the big upgrade.

Ipod disabled, screen will not move

My ipod is disabled. It tells me to connect to itunes. Itunes says it can not acces the ipod because it has a password that needs to be entered. The screen on the ipod is frozen and will not allow me to enter a password. Any ideas?

Try resetting. Nothing will be lost. Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears

HT201263 ipod white screen will not restore

Tonight got white screen on my ipod, looked on apple website - tried to reboot and then tried to restore still white screen any other ideas please

Try the steps in the article that I linked above.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.
An easy way to find out if this is caused by the security software is to just uninstall it. If it works, just update the iPhone then reinstall the security software and try to set it up in a way that doesn't cause a problem.

My iPod touch screen will not work.

Ever since last night, my iPod's touch screen has been messed up. I didn't use it incorrectly or anything; I just used my iPod like I normally did for the past eight months. I have seen no problems until now. The iPod's keyboard is screwed up, when I press the letter "a" the capitalizing button is activated. They same is repeated over and over among over letters as well. The first sign of the issue was when I was trying to watch a video, the play button refused to be pressed and random things were constantly activated while I did nothing. The lock screen slide doesn't work either, the only way to get into my iPod is my activating the lock camera and then pressing the home button. Should I restore the iPod or is there a quick way to fix this?

Your screen digitizer needs to be replaced. See options in link below.

IPod Nano screen = white and blank

Hey everyone. Okay, I've had my nano for about 6 months now, I bring it to school every day, and I haven't had any problems until today...
I went to go turn it on to listen to it, and i notice that the screen is plain white (backlight on) with a black bar on the right side of the screen that randomly shows up.
I have two questions- is this covered in the iPod 1 year warranty? If it is, when I bring it to the Apple store near me, would they let me upgrade (and pay the difference) to the 30 gig video?
Thanks everyone for your help (in advance).

My iPod's screen will not light up anymore and i don't know how to fix it?

See I droped my ipod once and the screen craked and then the next day the screen did not light up. One of my friends said that i shoundn't get a ipod from gamestop.

You can try the following but I think the cracked progressed and your iPod needs to be replaced or repaired.:
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Its getting so bad that I don't know if the screen will go blank or freeze before I can send this

I don't seem to be able to use Mozilla for very long as it freezes or the screen goes white or it closes down and reverts to something I have closed down.
I have taken mozilla back to factory settings 3 times tried to clear anything that might not be compatible,
but I'm not confident enough to go to far

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

IPod touch screen will not flip when turned sideways

My iPod when i turn it to either side it wil not turn. It still works with no problems. I've tried everything from restarting to restoring. This problem is very aggravating if anyone can help I'd be much obliged. Thank you.

Do you have any applications that depend on the iPod's ability to turn sideways that you could test out and see if they work?
The free application iHandyLevel would be worth downloading and opening to see if the leveling capabilities respond when you angle the iPod. If not, you've got a hardware issue and the iPod needs to be repaired.
